The "Flight" on the heel is replaced by "Glove" I believe and also I don't believe the bottom is carbon fiber.They look the same to me other than the laces

Dont have OG black/whites for comparison, just white/green but these are the differences I know of
- OG said ZOOM AIR on the heel where these say THE GLOVE (OG white/greens also said THE GLOVE) I think they changed the heel for the white greens because the way it was written sideways on the OG black/red made it look like NOOE AIR
- OGs had a translucent red monkey paw and sole/ Retros are solid red
- OGs had slightly pearlecent white synthetic leather on the toe rand/ Retros have pure flat white
- OGs had no insole/Retros have a removable insole
- OG had 5 seperate tiny air sole units/ Retros have 2 air sole unite (heel and forefoot) IMO retros are actually more comfortable but that might be because the air in the OGs is flat by now
- Swoosh on the heel of midsole is much deeper set on the OG/ Retro is molded closer to surface
-OG had silver/grey laces/ Laces on retro are white
-"exoskeletal / 1.5 articulation" lettering is silver/grey on OG and white on retro
- "Flight" lettering on OG was white/ Red on retro
-OG had exposed grey/black carbon shankplate / retro has black/black plastic coated shankplate
All differences aside.... They still look phenomenal
Where would I be able to pick up a pair? They are releasing this Saturday correct?
these sneaker are a DIRECT predecessor of da flightposite IIt never occurred to me how similar certain aspects of this shoe are with the flightposite Is. I never owned the OG of these so I was kinda clueless.
$19.99 at ross!
I remember the zoom flight turbine came out when i was 8th or 9th grade, nobody was F'n with em at all ...

Oh MAAAN! Lol. It looks turrible... That is Crazy Wack! ...Cheap SOB's if they release that way.Good looks NCtwin, Repped
I also just noticed in addition to the swoosh color change the Velcro tab on the retros is nubuck whereas its a textured synthetic on the OGs
Im comparing mine to my white/green OGs, so I dont know if its different for the black/red OGs but the heel pulltabs seem much thinner on the retro. Not thin as in width, but the material has a flimsier texture.
How does the neoprene compare to the OGs? Im pretty impressed, but I dont have the OG to compare with.
I noticed the white/green retros cut a huge corner on their synthetic leather upper. The OG white/greens feature a reinforced synthetic upper; Its like they had a lining sewn directly under the synthetic, while the retro sample pics Ive seen have only a single exposed and nappy layer when you roll them down.
Edit: Just snapped some pics... heres the difference Im talking about

OG:
