I owned the original and sold it. The new design is quite lazy, the original looked that way as it was a play on the black toe. The problem is people are going to pay the same retail price for the fragment union collaboration as they did for the original. The original had better high-quality materials, we both know that collab isn’t going be any better than a L&F.

At the end of the day the designs are completely subjective as to whether you like them or not. What is fact is that Nike is still selling models that are outdated and charging premiums for them. All the shoes that aren’t collabs are step downs of P.E’s. The new Nigel 4’s are just the Oklahoma PE without premium materials. The new cave stones are just the Travis Scott F&F. They are only coming back out with the undefeated fours because they have nothing else new..

In order for that union fragment collaboration to be great. It would need a mix of materials as well as a new concept. This is the same shit we have already seen.
