Sure...when i get the opportunity, i will pull all 3 pairs out and take closer pics.
Well said.... and i would love to see a few thorough close up comparison pics if you get a chance sir. Maybe a heel shot, a front shot, side shot, and a close up of the upper materials.... I personally was thinking the purple air unit was going to be the bane of this retro for me, but im okay with the purple... HOWEVER, the freakin weird velvetty white nuuck type material on the upper is so weird to me. Why would Nike do that when they put the worlds most buttery leather (for a retro) on the white/old royal pair???
Also is there any differences in quality as far as youre concerned? I cant imagine the 09 being superior due to these being really solid for a retro. Thanks!!
It just gets challenging sometimes, because i got my classic shoes buried in my closet, and i got kids too !
Every time i open up a box, they are quick to grab and toss around my shoes. Lol
This years retro was decent, but i felt Nike cut corners with their effort.
The 02 or 03 pair without a doubt had the best quality leather uppers...very soft.
But my personal preference would have to be the 09 or 10 version...even tho the leather is stiffer.
I was never able to get the original as a child, so those win on sentimental value alone.
However the 02 or 03 version is probably the best in multiple ways...comfort, quality, air unit.
Defy New York on youtube is a sneaker connoisseur, he is really insightful in explaining when Nike stopped using the original air units and all that. If i remember correctly he said they stopped in 03 or 05 ?
Check him out tho, he did a review on those 02/03 cb 94.
I wish i could tell you the comfort difference between all the retros, but unfortunately i can not.
I have never worn any of my pairs.
These shoes are in my top 5 category, so i when i was able to finally get a pair...i just cleaned the dust off, and put them in the hall of fame closet.
