Getting these restored! Waiting for the full zoom air units to arrive and will ship them out.

Here is the 2016 retro on the bottom and the OG’s at the top.

Yep. It’s blatant disrespect. I went on like a 8 year stretch where I didn’t cop anything Jordan because of the low quality shape and craftsmanship. Those 12s look like a horrible pair of knock offs next to ogs.

OGs are amazing but to me the first retro of 12s were the most comfortable and because of that are tied with the OGs. The leather quality on OGs is unmatched for sure but the 03-04 comfort was on another level.

Yeah, I had the 03 black/red’s and they were super springy as far as the zoom air.

Unmatched so far if you ask me.

Tread lightly,
once going this route you can never appreciate 12 retros again lol.
Metal lace loops premium thick cut leather elegant shape hell even the midsole has pigment added to the mold NO paint job. Everything about the OGs screams premium leather goods in both looks and feel. Well worth the coin in purchase and restoration.

Comparing them to my 2016 retros, they make them look so cheap. It’s almost laughable. Even the toe box on the 97’s are buttery soft

 

[headdetective]

Keep us posted on the restoration.

One day one of you cats gon inspire me enough to get mine done.

Will do!

 

[JRepp23]

We all know the 97 is better. But I sure as hell remember those things being stiff as boards on foot. The 2016 was really not that far off.

 

[rcjbbp1313]

OGs for leather quality and 03s for performance.

 

[headdetective]

Jordan was still around in 03

Once he left left, the quality and consistent premium type materials took a 180.

Glorified fakes.
