Not even close to GS 99s.
to be honest, the 99 pair looked pretty different from the OGs. the color and speckle patterns were completely different

So we're asking for a OG retro but comparing them to the'99 pair? That's that same annoying **** people did with the Bordeaux's. View media item 16724652016

They look a hell of a lot better than the last release. Plus, let's not forget the 1999 pair is much lighter than the OG.
I dont wear GS sizes so I honestly don't care about what the GS pair will look like. I'm waiting on the men's pair pics
JB is gonna troll and release em with leather heel tabs

The font of air looks off on the 2016 pair the
A. I. R is spread out a bit farther then the og.. Just and observation [emoji]128064[/emoji][emoji]128064[/emoji]
Yea I noticed that too... Still not as aesthetically pleasing as having it closer together, not a big deal, but a silly change...I know they have to differentiate the shoes but why not just sew the year they were made in the sock liner I'm sure that'd appease collectors
Im convinced it's not to appease collectors at this point. They've proven several times they dont care. I think they legitimately do it for their own unspecified reasons.
I think they do it so they can inch closer and closer to the OG, so they can continue to sell the same shoes over and over again for years and years.Im convinced it's not to appease collectors at this point.

There's no way that's going to happen. Can't compare to GS shoes....waste of time.I hope that NA isn't flat on the men's pairs. It's cool for GS though.
People complain about retros not properly portraying the originals, but don't even know what the originals were like so when they get what they've demanded they don't even know they've gotten it.
Then compare a remastered pair meant to be truer to the OG to the last retro of said shoe they were trashing before this one.
It's incredible. People will never be satisfied. Ever. There's always going to be a portion of the crowd that finds SOMETHING to whine about. Next we'll be complaining about the embossing of the details on the heel tab.
