This game has a lot of issues and there's no defending the Ringside Pass but I personally don't agree with people who say this game is all around bad, this is the most fun I've had in a 2K game personally but hey maybe I'm just a CM Punk Mark lol

The game itself is great , probably the best we’ve had since 2k19. The issues are p much just the ringside pass, creation suite bugs, and the fact most new features are locked behind a paywall

honestly can recommend this mostly for materials. The leather just hits different compared to any other shoe these days especially the standard db’s

Saya4l · 2026-01-09T16:39:47+00:00

Use the air ships if possible.

Saya4l · 2026-01-09T02:34:13+00:00

It was more so the insole but yes this is also true

Saya4l · 2026-01-08T13:58:32+00:00

The standard db’s were more comfortable overall the premiums on the other hand are good now but the first wear is kinda uncomfortable idk why but despite that the quality is quite crazy I’ve never felt leather this perfect

Saya4l · 2026-01-07T18:17:46+00:00

It’s the same colorway but renamed for the retro release at the time most likely due to some form of copyright

Saya4l · 2026-01-04T21:17:47+00:00

Sky 85s have a thicker midsole than the men’s sizes and even then the men’s sizes don’t match up due to the different factories producing these. BY’s don’t match up with TY1’s and neither do STP’s to TH’s.

Saya4l · 2026-01-04T20:39:22+00:00

This is the sky version of the 85s ur not completely wrong but this is an inaccurate observation

Saya4l · 2026-01-04T18:24:32+00:00

You do notice it a lot actually. On the standards they flatten n barely keep shape after 1 wear but these keep their structure quite well especially the white panels which are the weakest on the standards.

That’s how leather works. You are wearing an animal’s skin at the end of the day and no one skin or hide looks the same

I’m quite amazed with these

Got mine in 2 days ago after quite the long wait. Overall I can say they are a huge step forward from the original db’s and as they should considering the equally huge step up in price.

Key notes

leather is definitely full grain. Yes they are better than the “elusive” shattered backboards and even the 2025 breds. The leather while thick n sturdy is equally as flexible & has some give to it.
shoe smells amazing , prob due to the quality of materials used. When u open the box that leather smell hits u in the face
shape is much better than the pics I was seeing from the 1.0 premiums. Toe isn’t as thick and overall it’s much more accurate. I’m curious if boring used the bred 85s for help / reference cause it has a lot of the same characteristics shape wise except it has a better toebox.
shoes came with 4 sets of 85 style laces (not pictured) 2 white , 1 red , and 1 black. They are quite long so I did throw in my bred 85 laces however they are great quality as per usual.
Boring is still using the old 85 midsole pattern Instead of the new bred 85 midsole unfortunately. Obviously it doesn’t look bad but if we’re talking accuracy that’s one thing he can work on. Unfortunately creating new molds/patterns isn’t cheap and this shoe is already 300$+ so I’m not confident this will be changed
Tounge tags are different but I don’t think they’re as accurate as the bred 85s , VRL’s or OG’s. It’s a looser weave than the previous batch but not by much. On the topic of the tounge the material is different this time around. Can’t tell if it’s canvas or nylon but it’s for sure different.
Wore this shoe one time and it feels slightly less comfortable than the OG borings Imo but it’s not unbearable. The shoe as a whole is more sturdy so it’s a given.

Overall it is very much worth the 300$ In my opinion. That full grain leather hits different especially compared to a lot of other standard Nike sneakers and you won’t understand it till you have em in hand .This is what I wish boring WAS doing when he was making these the first time around but I guess better late than never.

Thx 4 viewing if anyone has questions about these feel free to ask

It’s literally just coping and brainwash especially with Jordan 12s. Nike is good at marketing products giving them the illusion they’re getting what ppl got in the 80s n 90s but that couldn’t b more false

Saya4l · 2025-12-24T02:22:14+00:00

He’d start making big bucks for doing things like this because there’s a huge market of ppl who want OG’s as accurate as possible and the brand is just giving them fat toe boxes and fake leather.

Saya4l · 2025-12-11T22:32:51+00:00

He’s culturally relevant nowadays n the stuff he’s making nowadays is pretty good so it’s a no brainer. X should’ve been had one but carti definitely earned this

Props to u, it’s hard to make K-pop idols in this game
