ya, one would hope that with a 20 dollar increase on the 3, etc , they'd come with a nike air tag & shoe schematic like the 88
they put nike air on the heel, an opportunity for complete og'ness

I'm still gonna be purchasing a pair. The red fro over the tongue doesn't bother me as much as most people on here do. True, it doesn't hold completely to OG form by how Jordan Brand did that but red tongue liner and NA on heel tab makes it much closer to OG then the 2007 or 2011 TB's which I myself do prefer. That's just my opinion. We are all entitled to it.
Side note, people in the sneaker community always find ways to customize. I'm sure at some point someone might mess with the stitching and hide that red liner behind the tongue. If people nowadays can swap soles fairly easy, I'm sure that tongue customization isn't too far behind for someone that is handy.

I for one have been excited about this release since it was first announced, red tounge, blue tongue, whatever. Especially since my 01s started to crumble after their last wear.

Exactly.
The silhouette of the Jordan 3 is top 3 all time ...and if y'all think 3's with NA on the back gonna make it to outlets, then you're insane.

True Blue 3's are my favorite OG colorway of the 3's and I am considering passing. It just doesn't look good with that red tongue liner showing. It looks like they cut the tongue off the WC3 and sewed it onto the TB3's...
If they were going to do the red tongue liner they should have made it just like the OG where you can't see it from the front. It changes the whole look of the shoe.
Needless to say that I am disappointed and may just be purchasing another pair of 2011's in DS condition. Oh well game time decision, just kinda bummed. Congrats and good luck to all of you who like the new look.
Peace and love!

The original didn't have it showing from the front of the shoe. It completely changes the look of the entire damn shoe. There is a reason they changed it to blue when they started doing the "see the liner from the front remake"
I agree it should be red but you shouldn't be able to see it from anywhere but from the back.

Yeah @Sneekaz, the retros from 08-13 were the absolute worst IMO. Especially, my favorite model, the 4's. They straight up butchered the **** outta that shoe, over the years. The shape, & mold still messed up to this very day. That's why I went hard, and spent a stack on some '99 sole swapped Black Cement's. The '12's just ain't good enough, & the 08's were just ****** low-tops.

"Changes the whole look of the shoe"??? That's quite the exaggeration. Half the 1s in your sig have that mid top look that don't look nothing like the OGs.

I can deal with the tongue they just need to get that elephant print right, to me the elephant print made the air Jordan 3 so if they are planning on remastering them at least get the elephant print on point with the og's that's the least they could do forget the tongue it's deeper than that

Nah, the blue on the newer tongue looked better with the shoe as a whole (IMO) I assume that change wasn't an accident and they did it for aesthetic reasons (totally an assumption.)
I like the red liner but only when it looks like the OG where you can't see it.
Why else would they change the inside of the tongue to blue other than to try and make it look better? (I'm seriously asking, because besides the fact that they just wanted to milk us for money down the road later, I can't think of another reason)

Yeah it does change the whole look (IMO.)
I MUCH prefer the OG high (94 mold and 2015+ mold) look on the 1's rather than the "mid" cut on the older 1 models, however I didn't have an option back then when I bought those 1's.
If you gave me a choice between '13 AJ1's or 84/94/15 I would choose the latter all day long.
It's just my opinion, nothing more nothing less.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the 94's slight higher than the 84-85's @Bigsykedaddy???

Right @doublemesh96, and notice how the tongue liner isn't as visible. Nike could at least do the tongue like that, to make it less noticeable.
Repped.

Bruh, if the multitude of people who don't like the red liner are labeled as frail boys, then what does that make you - a confused boy?
You come out against the red liner then post your favorite with the blue liner.
