Why all the nipples?
Why do I see this more and more?
Intentional?
Pretty sure it's just due to today's manufacturing process and the machines used. It's not an intended part of the design. Seems similar to a lot of little "details" on various models over the years--features that we ask or wish for on retro versions even though they weren't ever done on purpose in the first place. "Peaks" in the patent on XIs, white lines on the edges of black nubuck, the red tint that some black/red XIs had in their cordura upppers ... none of those things were intended by the designers.
Funny, I bet if the OG Zoom Flight 95s had nipples all over them and then the retros didn't, people would wish they did.
