I too was a little pumped that they had the McFly vibe to them like the OG Bruins. Got the BTTF nerd in me.

Patent swoosh
Compared to the neutrals and breds these are looking very very underwhelming even cheap passing big time.
Sitting everywhere too

How can Nike call a shoe "OG" and put patent leather on it? I will be returning these when they arrive. OG should be true to the original. This is why I stopped buying most of the junk that Jordan releases

That's Nike/JB for you.

Idk, but Nike tried to emulate that metallic-like paint on the OGs. Looks like they thought PL was the closest thing lmao

White/grey and white/red both have similar leather quality. Both shoes could have been executed better. The swoosh on the white/grey was 3M while the OG's was nubuck. As for the white/red's, the swoosh material should have been metallic (although it is close). I will not complain about this release because none of the lows were remastered.

I don't think nike labelling the shoe OG has anything to do with color. Didn't nike call the black/gum highs OG?

OG Nrtl Gry lows/high actually had suede swooshes, not nubuck and certainly not reflective 3M scotchlite.
Y'all are getting so worked up over simple things like a sparkling metallic swoosh vs. a patent leather one and complaining about what you expected vs. what you were given.
I'm a grumpy, old curmudgeon when it comes to trying to get the most OG version, but for most, this shoe is originally rare and few pictures or samples exist even to this day. For JB to even bring it this out and to get the molds that were getting, some gratitude ought to be shown. Regardless of tiny, tiny details like that.

OG white/greys look nubuck to me. But if it is suede, then it is suede (won't argue that). Although the white/red's have patent swoosh, like I said earlier, it is close to metallic (at least JB got the red color correct for this release).
With that being said, I will get a second pair soon.

White and red OG highs were metallic and the white/red lows did not have the metallic description, but they looked metallic based on the pics I saw.

The Swoosh on the White/Grey Lows is not Suede!
- If your Swoosh is Suede you better post those in the Legit Check Forum
and Calling it 3m is wrong cuz it's not Flashing like Real 3m would.
I can't explain exactly which material was used but those Mention above are incorrect!

We are talking about OG's here. I do not think anyone mentioned that the retros was suede. As for the 3M on the retros, it is still 3M on leather but a weaker 3M.
With that said, you are incorrect.

- 15,455
a weaker 3m??? I don't think so - 3m pops no matter -
it's just a matte Grey leather on the 2015 - not trying to Argue but it doesn't come off as any 3m when i snapped pics of my lows
I don't know you ment the 1985 versions regarding the Suede Swoosh, which is correct as well as the High's were Suede

It's a 3M swoosh on 2015, there are tons of pics here with the flash as well! Too lazy to pull mine out.
