I think the black tongue, bigger swoosh, more matte/smooth leather overcome these not having the wings. I dont wear highs with shorts so itll be mostly covered while wearing anyways.

Tbh I don’t think anyone thinks the “AIR JORDAN” text on here is better than the Jumpman logo. That text was omitted from basically every retail release until those hideous “rare air” pairs a few years ago and now this one for some reason.And to the guys that hate it so much, you must have never bought a Jumpman shoe that was supposed to be Nike Air, Right?
Just like how no one really likes the Jumpman on OG colorways instead of Nike Air, but that didn’t stop a whole lot of us from buying retros from 2002 to 2013. There will be a better, “un-reimagined” version of these that will eventually come out, but until then, these will do just fine.Tbh I don’t think anyone thinks the “AIR JORDAN” text on here is better than the Jumpman logo.

There is no one on this planet that thinks the text is better than the Jumpman. My point was we were buying retro shoes that had a Jumpman in place of the Nike Air for years. Maybe you were not, I dont know. That Jumpman on those shoes were never on there to begin with. Obviously, there is a reason they put the Text on this colorway. Its simply honoring the beginning stages of the line that involved the photoshoot in 84. The text was for sure dismissed for the wings, good move obviously. But it still was a shoe Mike had in hand at one time. I mean, they have released the dumbest 1s honering the shirt he was wearing, the skyline in the original poster, shoes with mini pouches on them, backwords huge swooshes, zipties, they even honered the red banned mark in the original commercial etc. So Im trying to figure out why a true sample getting released is bieng questioned. To me it makes perfect sense. If, your into the history of the line.Tbh I don’t think anyone thinks the “AIR JORDAN” text on here is better than the Jumpman logo.

What do you mean?
Hm..might be fake pair
Sounds like after years of bashing JB, he is reining it in a bit to get back in the good graces JB.
Still on the fence about these.
Sad part is.....I would love to wait for these to hit discount (last 1s I bought 85 metallic burgundy, and black/gold 1s were for $99) and i passed on multiple others. But, at my size 14, I don't think I can wait for these to hit discount. These will be a day 1 cop
Either solesavy gonna lose some credibility or people gonna have to start explaining early pairs
Either outcome is acceptable. The guy who runs SoleSavy is a culture vultureEither solesavy gonna lose some credibility or people gonna have to start explaining early pairs
