i thought production took place like 6 months before? especially for a shoe that's gonna be a widely available GR - not to mention the annual Xmas black/red.
and when i met XXL's fashion editor at MSG (he was rocking the Steel X retroes like 4 months early), he just gets boxes shipped to him from Nike.. doesn't even know what's coming, just gets a big box, opens it, and rocks the shoes. must be nice. (too bad his size is a LOT smaller than mine).

I'd rather have the product we've been seeing that is truer to the OG.

Ya I actually peeped that pic today at the bookstore. It's definitely not a drawing. Let's just say I hope the pictures previously released are the ones actually dropping in Dec.

That picture is clearly not a drawing. It's a slightly out of focus photograph.
The only two differences on these are:
1. The pattern on the heel counter looks more like the one on the white/red-black OG and retro except the colors are different.
2. The midsole is possibly black but it may be the lighting.
Whilst the back part looks like a lighter grey it is just due to being very strongly lit from below and behind. If you look just above the center of the plastic heel counter you can see that the material there is black like the front of the shoe and that same piece of material wraps around and up the back where the ridges are. Also you can see the material at the top of the toe box where the tongue ends is black and that wraps up along the lace holes to the back as well. So it's not a lighter color, it is just reflecting more light.
Regarding the midsole, the correct color is a dark grey and it is painted. So being smooth, it may simply be that all the light is reflecting at a shallow angle from the light at the rear so all going towards the front of the shoe. Not much light would scatter towards us. The outsole has a texture to the surface and is a matt material, not shiny, so it scatters a lot of light and more comes towards the viewer and makes the outsole look lighter. So taking that into account, it is difficult to tell what the true color of the midsole is.
So overall, looking at that pic the only thing of note really is the plastic heel counter having the wrong pattern on it. It could just be an early sample or a mistake. I am much more inclined to take the photos we have seen from other sources as better indications of what the final product will look like.

I really didn't see a difference in the XXL mag, for the most part whatever we see in the magazine is the version we'll see when the shoe drops.
