@modzzilla Seeing the in hand and on foot pics, the radiant reds don’t seem to be the iii build but rather the recraft. Is that correct?

What makes you say that?

I think people say this because of the toe box

It looks round, and not as sharp as the other OGs. But it's definitively the AMIII build, not the recraft. It's just that the toe box looks somehow odd (to me at least)...

I mean it literally could be the fact that its a different material the "leather" on the III's isn't super soft & malleable its just more thin & lightweight. I dont think anyone should be judging off the toe shape. The rest of the shoe looks identical to the AMIII pairs. Also, thats a great looking toe shape lol its nice & sleek.

**** it, we're all buying 8 pairs each anyway. Just wear the worst-looking ones for beaters and put the good-looking ones on a shrine.

Honestly, people tripping on the recrafts and AMIII's like they're gonna skip when they've been buying 3-5+ pairs of the more inferior boot shaped different infrared pairs for the past 20 years. If it was a recraft or if there was inconsistencies it still is much more closer to the OG shape & look.

I’ll actually answer for Mod. No. That’s not correct. What’s making you say that by the way? They’re obviously the new AMIII build but I really want to understand what you’re seeing.

 

[dhtowng]

Sheesh, they better not be.

That would be extreme disrespect to the GOAT OG.

@modzzilla confirm this asap.

No need to confirm anything. It’s the AMIII lol.

 

[dhtowng]

What are ya'll seeing with the Infrareds because that's definitely the Air Max III build. The sizing easter eggs look the same. The forefoot part looks thicker(for the air) the toe may look different than other leather III pairs is because its not leather, its felt. The mudguard looks the same as Laser Blues. Stitching looks consistent. OG box. I think some of ya'll are paranoid. Also if it was recrafts instead of III's ya'll would still auto cop with double-quintuple ups so why stress yourself being nitpicky?

Quoted for BIG truth!

Just having a hard time seeing the differences that’s all. The video above made it a bit clearer. Not being paranoid just asking questions, participating in the community. I’m in for 1-2 either way.

 

[BabyKiller138]

I can see the confusion a bit. I think not having seen the 3 mold on an felt upper has people’s eyes playing tricks on them.

 

[DecepticonRumble]

No need to confirm anything. It’s the AMIII lol.

My 90 history is shallow compared to others here and I’m just naive to the builds and couldn’t see major differences at first since it’s in the OG blocking and materials like the recrafts.

 

[rafbuddy]

its the same ****. its just infrared lol

 

[us3less]

DecepticonRumble - As long as it isn't designed by Jamie Oliver and have chili jam accents instead of Infrared/Radiant Red accents after seeing his doggy doo-doo fried rice, it's all good.

 

[1978S]

As expected.

People round here trying to spread rumors..."felt mudguard", "recraft shape", etc.

 

[DecepticonRumble]

asking questions = spreading rumors?

UnDS.

Somebody posted this a few pages back. Not many sizes left, but if yours is available I highly recommend picking them up. They are ridiculous, but in a good way.

Patiently waiting for concords to go on disco

 

[Sinner]

How bad was the first pair? Did it look like the first set of recrafts?

It looks worse than it really is cuz of the lighting and shadows.
But the material is quite thin and soft, so when I push it out, it goes away.
