Air Jordan 1 '94 '01 '09 (2

I compared old wing mark with new wing mark.
This time I compare details. First, please check pix.

'09


94 and 01 are clean cut, in contrast , 09 folds a corner of the leather.
This work name is "fold".haha

In my opinion, I dont like to fold a corner of the leather. It takes too much time to fold, cuz I dont like it. And its hard to make beautiful one. Even this picture one is bad.
Shoe's fold position(?) looks bad. Could you see it?

This is just detail, but this is very important. Cuz if we see it a moment, we can tell what is bad.
Why make this holding, cuz there is two reasons.
"for design" "hide the cheap leather"
09 is the latter one.

This is the famous, old sneaker's leater is better than new ones. Old ones use thick leater.
Old shoe plastic form is slim, it makes to looks good. Thick leater is same way.

But as for the rest of the shoes in sports, artificial leather is better, cuz its lighter than real leather.
