Yellow toes are perfect. Definitely gonna be a grail down the line IDC what anyone says. They are a million times better than the Iowa variants that dropped last year.

Agreed with you 100% man. I think these will go up in value down the road. I liked the pollens but imo these blow them out of the water. The colour blocking is perfect.

Might have to double up while the prices stay low
 
1985 (unfortunately not my size) meets 2022 (thankfully, finally in my size).

Haven’t stopped being excited about these L&F since I hit on SNKRS. Hope to catch a pair of 1985s in my size (13) someday, but will be wearing these L&F until they look like some old 85s!

Saw these in hand and they have better build than a majority of retro of highs. If I bought retro plus models more often I would have bought them.

I personally hate the 85 mold/all around shape/cut/and i definitely hate that horrendous short toe box shape. I understand alot of y'all like anything that's similar or close to the OG shape of Jordans, but I was never a fan of the front toe box shape of the 85 OG mold. If Nike/Jordan Brand didn't improve and extend the length on the toe box of Jordan 1,s, i wouldn't be wearing 1,s at all. That short toe box is hideous looking, and I can't stand the way it looks. I don't care how much hype or resell value that they gain in the future, they look like overgrown baby shoes for adults.

I agree with you that the 85 shape is odd and the remastered 85's do look weird. Imo i really like the 94-95 cut better. But i admit, I love the thick swoosh on the 85s

Every pair I got I ended up offing them, it’s a shame the black/whites are releasing in this mold

I personally don’t HATE the ‘85 build, I have doubles in the Neutral Greys, but I wouldn’t have a problem if JB just used the more modern/retro build like they used for the L&Fs. I’ve always wanted the Blk/Whts, so I’ll be grabbing a pair next year, but I agree that I think I’d prefer them if they were just in the current v2 remastered build they’re using now.
