all this talk about the 99s are the best this and that,,
some of us are young and never had the chance at those pairs
so we are happy with these 2016,,
I personally would not like that tumbled leather on these wc4s,
my opinion is jb did everything we asked,, more pairs, nike branding, great customer support, i got free next day air ,,what more do you want? 220$ is not that much money ppl , im completely happy with jb and this release
correct me if im wrong but if the 89s had smooth leather like these 2016
and your wondering why no super tumbled leather like the oreo's
wouldn't you get mad for them making them not og leather??

Its not the best synthetic leather but i do think my 16 white cement has better synthetic leather than my maroon 6's do

V neck guy here, I've pretty much tried them all. I recommend the Gap Deep V's, or the tri blends at urban outfitters in a standard fit.

I commend you for even wearing the 2012 that much to make them beaters. That's one of the most uncomfortable Retros ever if not the most.

Even with retail as the starting point, it's not that much different, but the leather is. One brand charges X on quality, the other on hype and popularity.

Not feeling the thin tongue everthing else was not bad but then again I waited in line in 99 for the first retro and still have them.

First thing I always try with marks is use sticky tape, you'd be suprised what comes off with a few firm dabs. Maybe also suggest goo gone like Hype recommended. Or rubbing alcohol but careful with the leather and speckles.

How about a white paint dot on the black outsole?

strange how someone can talk so down about JB quality, but have 2012 and beat them to death like I've never seen (one of the most uncomfortable shoes of all time).
Thats like getting with a bunch of 3 out of 10's, but talking down about how terrible 3's are.

As far as quality real leather, it goes for a premium these days. Most of the quality cars out there that people are leasing/buying: MB, BMW, Audi, etc. all use synthetic leather. They charge thousands more for real leather in a package. Then they will offer you nappa leather on their true luxury cars for even more money. I don't think the majority of car buyers even realize this. They probably think that anything that isn't cloth is leather. The synthetic stuff is more durable so when leases are up the seats don't look as beat up when they're selling the car as CPO. Nike isn't the only company raising prices and giving you less for your money.

Stiff leather gets comfortable and loose after time. It's called breaking it in. Once the break in process is done then the comfort in wearing them starts. That's one of the signs of good leather imo and that's what Jb gives in terms of leather tumbled or not most of the time.

No doubt about it, but when you hit rock bottom (2012) then the only way is up...
I'm with you regarding the creased leather, I could care less about it. For me the biggest let down is that thin and soft rubber heel tab and the thin tongue which is exactly the same as the 2012s.
By the way, at this point I'm 101% sure that we will never see "99 quality" again. NEVER. (Prove me wrong Nike...)

Pen marks use rubbing alcohol
Dirt use shoe cleaner
Stains use goo gone...FTW
Toothbrush and rags are fine.
This summer will be the first time using icey sole cleaner and the sun to cure it.

The double up was real. Will use the extra pair as trade bait for Flu Game 12s, as I will be out of the country when they release. If not, I'm more than happy with both.

I doubt we will ever see 99 quality at least not in my lifetime. Been waiting for those since. It's probably time to sole swap the 99 with some 16's...j/k. I'll use the dubzero soles I have. Good thing I didn't unload my 99's or my 12's...
