Since the '89 release was full Durabuck™ it would be interesting if these ended up using a white version of the upper material that we've seen on releases like the '15 Aqua 8s, '16 Black Metallics, etc.
If you look closely at the edges of the material you can see it’s just felt with a PU coating. Notice how perfectly smooth it looks and how perfect the fake pores look throughout the entire shoe. There isn’t a single pair that shows any wrinkling or finish variation like you’d get with genuine leather.You're going to have to prove that, because I don't believe it.
I have two pairs in my hand right now. One of them I've had since they released. It got tons of wear and never cracked. There's no way a synthetic leather would hold up to this kind of wear after 20+ years without cracking.
The other pair I just Un-DSed a few weeks ago. They don't look at all like synthetic leather, they even have the leather pores.
I can see what you're saying, same thing with my fire red 5s. I have 3 pairs, and one that I still wear, they look just like this.
It was an amazing material and I wish every white based Jordan Retro used it rather than cheap full grain leather.
Yes. 2026 35th year anniversary.Sooooo just a quick question especially if you know what’s coming out, is there any plans for white Infrared VI’s?
I had edited the '99 part out on mobile and it gave me an error trying to post, I guess once I refreshed the page it kept the ('99) part but yes the 1999 pair was not Durabuck, just the 1989 pair.
When the taxis and royal 1 highs coming out?
Anyone on here who ever thought23mj88 was just “predicting” ish and doesn’t know things is a frucking moron x1000. If you fall into that category—and you know if you do—piss off back to reddit and Instagram. Bunch of frucking clowns.

You think they'll ever release the reverse black infrared 6 sample from the late 90s
This is a good question. I wouldn't be surprised if we get them as a reimagined release at some point.
Based on the recent trend, those will drop before the standard black/infrared 6 drops again.
Awesome. Those started to grow on me, gonna cop em when they eventually drop
They’re doing bigger numbers now so that narrative doesn’t really match reality
Damn!!! How do u keep the netting from yellowing?You're going to have to prove that, because I don't believe it.

Jordan brand plans 24-36 months out. Yes I metioned cherry 11 mid 4 months prior to anyone. I don’t care to take credit for anything, hell I already know the 2025/2026 line up. But time and time again when I’ve dropped clues or info you get wack comments claiming it’s all predictable. (Thanks tips, it’s a cycle of wash, rinse..repeat).
I also mentioned the black and red 1s in 85 cut was coming back for the ASW 2025 back in January ….right here on Nike talk in a thread and got laughed at.
There’s a big difference between stuff being predictable and knowing and seeing launch calendars months and years out.
I dropped Zsneakerz that the white cement 4 was coming back in April, he told me no they are not…look who’s right. Niketalk is one of the most toxic environments…hence why I barely share anything and don’t come on here often.
