I'm with you, I do prefer the netting on 4's even if these and the Columbia's didn't originally release with them. But, due to the clean colorway it isn't a deal breaker, that's why I went with the Columbia's a few weeks back. I don't sit on a cetain side of the fence when it comes to white or black based shoe's, (seemed to be a big topic in the French Blue 7's thread) as long as the colorways are dope they can release consecutive white or black based shoe's and I'd cop as long as I don't have the pair already or if the pair needs to be retired.
