What am I missing with these skeptas? They look terrible to me.

You’re not missing anything. I just really like the static print. Wish they weren’t skepta so I could easily snatch them.

I'm glad they went with the normal design. The wave flows well on the lateral side while the medial side gets funky.
I never had the '99 OGs, but I did notice in pictures that the midsole was a "pure" grey, whereas the retro has a reddish-purple iridescent look to it, similar to the foamposite material on the heel. Personally I think it looks great though. I was more bothered with the non-translucent orange outsole.
^ Is it me or would anyone else feel a little tight getting those F&F's and not the OGs?
I mean nice come up no question, but not the same
Honestly I would
But you could easily sell them and pick up the normal pair, probably making a little profit in the process.

Can't lie, I'm mad as ****. Wish I copped at retail when they restocked just to see if I got the F&F pair.
I did a 180 on the Skepta joints. Look real nice in the new pics.

A fan of skepta and they’re also super sick to me. Hopefully won’t be too hard.

Agreed. The design and materials alone don't do enough. Needs the right colors to really make it pop.

Black pair is so clean. I love the flashy colorways but would love to have a monotone colorway just for everyday use

I feel bad not copping the OG colorway and now I want it lol. I'm glad I did this though to save money. I hope that Women's Blue/Green colorway drops; I honestly like those the most of all.

How do these rate on cushioning?
Read somewhere that the most recent AM97s are like cement.
I presume these are no better?

These are much softer than the 97s. Much better feel overall. Comfort is just as good as any recent air maxes (2009-2017), if not better.

By the way, you can stretch out the toebox’s Upper with a bit of effort using hot water and a hair dryer, made my experience comfier

Also I know it will NOT happen but if they made an airmax deluxe with the react outsole that’d be off the chain

Agree. These are noticeably better than 97's in that dept.
