Those blacks are straight up filthy. Very Courir AF1-esque, which is always a good thing.
The black is what I call quality! If it'll be (soft) suede it will be purchased instantly!
Does anyone know if the MB's are dropping in girls/kids sizes?

agree on the paint
but...this sounds crazy - but all my af89 retros from 2012 have almost no paint issues just like nike's used to be
the paint on 'em looks thick like it would crack easy but has not over 2 years of use (one pair being my beaters)
The saddest part is that Nike still dyes some midsoles and goes cheap on most other retros and just paints them.
I agree that the '09s had poor pleather quality. However, of all the TRIIIs/SCs that I have, my '09 medicines are the most comfortable with no pinky toe issue. The midsoles are cracked, but not too badly, the rest of the shoe still looks great. The plastic on the '14s looks whiter than the '09 (which I prefer), but can't tell for sure from the pics. Given the better leather quality, it's too bad they couldn't do the correct perforations; any theory on that?
I bought mine in '09 for $65 on eBay back when there either wasn't BIN functionality, or people simply didn't use it like they do now. I miss those days when everything started at $0.01! The '14s are definitely better leather quality, however, not different looking enough for me...Still wishing the OG navy/white would retro already! Just bought a 2001 pair worn once for $65 in my size; been waiting 16 years to own that shoe, which started it all for me. I'm going to wear it even if it falls apart!
I also miss the OG days when the lower midsoles weren't painted. White was the color of the material, and it simply yellowed with age. I prefer yellow to cracking paint. They really should die that area instead...so frustrating!
