Nike Lebron 9 Retro

They on my circle back list

OGs only my guy. The retros are okay but if you had the originals..ykyk. I had the OGs and sold em years later for a decent profit bc i needed the money. After getting the retros and noticing the differences, i regretted it. I always thought that shoe was 1 that i would NEVER sell..and i sadly did

The side panels look slimmed down but feel wise they’re the exact same, the change is in the heel padding. Ogs were soft and felt like memory, were as the retro 9s feel thin with no layers.
 
Wouldn’t go as far as saying they butchered, but they def scaled back on the retro
Didn't someone say the Graffiti 4s aren't as plush as the OGs? The 8 thread has the same comparison for the SBs. As someone who was unable to obtain or missed out on the original release, I'll take what I can get smh.

nah 4s silhouette and material wise are 1 to 1 with OGs. Didn’t cheap out on the Lbj23 piece on the strap and the laces. Couldn’t tell you about the shades on the graffiti’s though
 
Different ankle padding, tongue is different, laces are different the shoe feels a lot different to me tbh. I have the retro btw
