Just curious, am I the only one who thinks the AZG white/black/red and this "first game" colorway would look even better if they had made the toe rand black/red to match those colors on the side panels and back of the shoe, rather than the white toes as they ended up going with? I love the white/black/reds, always have, but every time I wear them, I look down and think they'd be much better that way.

Like this?
Yes, that toe piece. On both colorways. Probably would work best as Nubuck or Durabuck and not colored leather.
Also, I wasn't/am not advocating for the change being made now to retros. The retros should be the same as the OGs, for sure. I just think the OGs should've perhaps been done that way in the first place, but I guess I'd have to see it for real to know for sure.
Carry on, gentlemen

They should have just released the First Games on the anniversary date 11-5-2023 instead of in March. Build hype around it.

Make consumers wait another 8 months to try and build hype. Not sure why anyone here would be down with that idea.

how does dropping them on the anniversary or building hype make it fun? The fun "chase" for a release hasn't been a thing for more than a decade, there's just resellers waiting to pounce.

I'm too old at this point to really give a crap about storytelling, especially storytelling that's tied to release dates
I just want the shoes I want. If I want to relive it more than that, I can watch the original commercials etc. on YouTube. I don't care if I'm doing that in July for a pair of shoes that originally released in February.

I don't give a damn about storytelling. It's become corny/cringe nowaday.
I buy shoes because of the looks or nostalgia. Just give me the damn shoes.

I remember one of my classmates back in high school got the Lebron First games when they dropped.
Had to find him on Facebook to ask if he still got them.
