in this pic the 2nd spike looks very rounded. i hope it's just this pair and not all of them that look like this.

i mentioned the spike because it's the one thing i noticed looking a bit off from the few pics provided so far. if a small thing like that is off who knows what other cuts or angles they've altered.
it's bad enough that they added that basketball heart.
i'm just hoping the mold hasn't changed from the previous retro. after all, it's only been 6 years.

See, I think it was the '04 retros that were badly shaped compared to these but obviously it's just my opinion.
-If you look at these new ones they have have roughly the same line of gradient from the top lace to the toe box as the OGs

Also notice what I said earlier about the red & gold triangles on the midsole being more of a matt finish & the correct shade of blue.

Then compare it to the stub-nosed shape of the 2004 retros with glossy dark paint on the midsoles...


imo -they look pretty decent ....not perfect by any means ....but decent.




  

OG VII's were "slimmer" then their retro counterparts.
