Any reviewer or person stating “these are almost like the 2021 pair” is completely wrong. From the slightly slimmer outsole, different midsole tooling, slightly bigger swoosh, thicc polyurethane insole, boardblasted, Eight lace holes, wider more rounded toe box…heck even the shoe laces are different! I don’t mind paying for top quality products, so the price hike was well deserved. I wish all shoes were crafted like this.
Did you post pics with the grey laces, might have to see that because that sounds like it would elevate the sneaker a little more.
I as mad I won two raffles for this sneaker, but now seeing I’ll wear it a lot makes me happy I have a backup
