Alright guys. Here are some cosmetic flaws. most microscopic that take minutes or hours to find. but they are there.
These were all present before being worn and have not gotten any worse after two wears.
-lower medial side midsole paint has a minor stripe of what will inevitably be paint chipping.
Orange midsole paint not totally done right. it didnt chip off or anything from wear but came that way.
White midsole paint is just a bit blotchy. orange midsole has a few air bubble spots
Orange speckle spots on one midsole
Orange midsole a bit sloppy here in just one small spot
Heel area where the leather meets the midsole on the right side has a small crease/pinch on the leather.
Orange midsole paoint meeting the outsole
Glue stains on the grey mudguard just slightly discolored. black stain on the orange midsole
glue stains present here
It's important to note that I can do this same sort of microscopic witch hunt to past "great" retros. But its something many wanted to see.

Well apparently Nike didn't put the quality into these as I had hoped.
I still want these though. These are very nostalgic to me. But I'm disgusted with Nike's ridiculous craftsmanship on these classics.

Such a NY shoe? Such a history? What does Bo Jackson have to do with New York?
Did you do some sort of survey? Travel across the country doing inspections of peoples feet
You do know teams and schools all over the country have orange and blue, including Auburn
Huh? I'm from NY, I didn't have to do a survey, and I've traveled around enough to know what people appreciated. When I went away toschool (other side of the country) anytime I wore SC trainers or AF1's, people were like "What are you wearing those for, those are mad oldschool...." Huh? Bo Jackson doesn't have anything to do with NY, but NY has always been huge into sneakers. NY loved em not because of Bo, butbecause of the shoe, same reason we were so big on Diamond Turfs, Griffeys, Air Max's, etc... it was just about being fly, not necessarily about theathlete. That's all I was saying. Don't understand what's so funny about it.

The only thing major there is that crease in the heal where the upper meets the midsole, i have seen that happen on ALOT of recent retro's and RARELY VERYRARELY on anything older than 2004

Honestly Ive owned OG pairs and 98 retro's that had sloppy paint jobs, its notorious for this specific shoe and the 98's the paint flakes after only afew wears horribly but besides that the shape of the shoe was on point as were the materials.

Wow, it's really insane the level of detail we're subjecting our kicks to these days guys... remember when we just luckly to grab a pair?... that said I'll be the first rip Nike for ever declining quality and have been meaning to pull together a post on that.
A lot of what Wally posted up there I'm pretty sure were issues with the OG's as well. I know my two pairs of OG SCIIIs had glue marks on the suedemudguard. I think that's inevitable given the material join there. I'll have to dig out my pairs.
The heel crease is troubling. I recall my OGs having one of the "hardest" firm heel areas of any shoe... you couldn't squeeze it, itcouldn't dent. Is that not the case?
By far Nike's biggest sin whether it's AJ's Bo's Maxes, etc... is painting the mid sole white on retros where the OGs were unpainted rawpolyurethane! Please stop! I know the AJIV threads have covered this pretty extensively but it never ceases to annoy me. More and more you get the flakingalmost immediately on wearing! This is nuts! Do they do this because they assume 75% will never be worn anyway?

This tounge was a little off.
Where the midsole is glued to the upper at the heel, it's a bit sloppy.
This right shoe is creased. I only tried these on on carpet. These came creased already.
The left shoe is great. But the right was bad overall especially with the creasing. The midsole paint was pretty good. I didn't see anything like Wally hadon mine. I'm pretty sure this will crack and chip after awhile. The orange is nice and bright. Comfort is great. Just like 1/4 too big not half. Nothingserious. But like I've said these are worth $105 and i am happy with this purchase.
