If I can swap my pair out to have a pair that has zero resemblance to a ball sack on the toe I'm gonna do itSpite lol
Both would look good on feet.
the toe of the right shoes on the lateral side looks like it has too much material and is gathered where it meets the midsole
probably would look less pronounced if I actually put them on foot but over time I would think it would show more after wear

Hopefully dblplay1212 will stop quoting my posts after this, though I expect this post to be quoted by him to spite me
Compared my FNL pair to Champs pair, swapped them and returning the FNL pair to Champs since I paid $90 at FNL
FNL pair
Champs pair
And I did put the right shoe of the Champs pair on my foot briefly, happy now?

Hey man. Looks like you had a bad pair. Right shoe from FNL did look off like it had too much material. No need to explain further lol. Glad you got a better pair in the end.

Looks like they glued the upper on a little crooked, then tried to get it to fit on the midsole. Your right about it not looking better after wear, it would break in at a funky angle.If I can swap my pair out to have a pair that has zero resemblance to a ball sack on the toe I'm gonna do it

The og colors released so far kind of correlate to the classic og air max
Royals = 1s
Purps = am4
Volts = am95 (close enough)
Turqs = am93

No OG's have released. Not even a confirmation that any will.
But I know you're referencing OG color-blocking. Just (im)patiently waiting for Infrared confirmation or other actual OG colorways.

So we can see a few things here. There are the swatches we already know about. We see that they are for spring summer 2020
And to the right we see what might be the leather versions colors, i see laser blue,light blue and black. Perhaps the light blue is the womens version of lasers.
The thing to notice though is the missing volt swatch. They have the shoe there instead...
Without overthinking it, the immediate deduction from the pic is that infrareds are of course dropping and theyll be coming in that og orange box off to the left. (I know those are the original products)

interesting to see on the original sketches that Tinker Hatfield have named the shoes ''Air Max Light II ''

Picked up the grapes. Quality pretty good, not perfect. I'm pleased. Just FYI, there is a shoe tree in the shoe. You can't see it but I just wanted to let everyone know because we all know it didn't look this way right out of the box.

I believe last time infrareds released was in the summer of 2015. Not that that matters, but could be when they drop this year. It’s definitely a when, not if.
