The new tags on the 998 tongue are horrible.

Embroidered way, way nicer looking. More NB cost and time cutting. Easier to mass produce a generic label that will be sewn on to every 998 than have different colored embroidery depending on the colorway.

Some random pics.
These socks are clean
610 with this lacing system is dope to me.
I want to try these but too zesty
This colorway is tough.

The only 998 that I like that tongue tag on are those Olive/Incense joints.

I could be wrong but the way the seasonal collection featured the use of that tag was very intentional with the branding on the sweats and the presentation of the collection.The only 998 that I like that tongue tag on are those Olive/Incense joints.
I agree though, not a big fan of it elsewhere but I do like it on the Olive incense pairs.

i'll never understand why sneaker brands will use cookie cutter / little kid graffiti graphics and fonts instead of hiring actualy graffiti writers. looks so jokey and childish.

Same! Wondered that for years. Higher ups making decisions think it looks good and don't know any better.
For these I bet JFG himself drew that crap himself.
