Late to the *Dance* but man JB really lays some retros out and these certainly make the list. Remembered the originals having that more dark grayish finish to the midsole and thinking how much better it would have been to have a metallic black instead...flash forward to the 2018s and here it is. So beautiful leather and all.
this was my favorite Js to play ball in. didn't remember about the paint issue, so it's good to learn about stuff i don't know or remember. i'm okay with the banana shape because it is what it is, but seeing the shoe in person it didn't have a quality feel to it. i can't say i wasn't tempted to buy it tho. brought back memories of those teeth thing falling apart...lol
just wanted to say THANKS for these comparison videos.. I try to get any OG pair that I can and your videos are so much help when I try 'eyeball' an OG pair online to buy. I recently got this same 1999 release (sz 9) and the comparison is spot on! Thanks again Marvin! #MaramingSalamat
This is the first video that I checked out of you. You did a good job good comparison got into some good details. Overall I'm going to fan of the Jordan 14 but the Thunders. The Thunders are my favorite. They need the Retro them. Pittsburgh fan
Great comparison video. I never knew or remember about the kids paint recall. Not a fan of the high tongue, the creasing midsole, and the glue stains. I do like the softer top of the tongue, that hard plastic hurt back in the day!
Buena comparación ... Siempre habrán pequeñas diferencias entre los OG originales y los retro OG Me hubiera gustado que sugieran la línea "Remaster" y hubiera venido en la caja OG que es igual a la de los jordan 13 OG del 98 y del 2017 Saludos desde Colombia siempre veo tus vídeos y estoy decidido a comprar los "Last Shot 2018"
I love mine! I ordered them in ‘18 and they came exactly on my bday! So that was a nice treat and a nice gift to myself for my bday!! So these didn’t sell out and were sittin for awhile and even went on sale I believe as well. I should’ve def bought more pairs! I always kick myself in the “you know what” bcuz I didn’t! Yah I dunno why they didn’t come in the silver OG box?! But that’s not the first time or the last time JB did something like that! 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Actually the slight "Banana Shape Change" keeps in touch with the performance shoes nowadays, I like this part. I wish they keep modify it but in tiny bits so it can kinda keep up to nowadays shoes and retain the general retro form at the same time. How about the heel padding and the forefoot difference? Always want to know how OG 14 feels like.
Definitely extra cushioning in the OG. The air bags were also thicker as I’ve restored a pair of OGs in the past. Would love to see the addition of “Protro” in retro Jordans just as Kobe has done for his line.
MJO23DAN Also the lockdown on mid foot is insane and strong, might be even better than nowadays shoes. But the heel padding is kinda incorrect and overdone on the side of the heel, hence put more stress on knee. But if they put the why not zero.1 heel padding, shank plate move forward a little bit, then I would call this the greatest performance shoe of all time.
Great video and comparison! Does anyone know by any chance if the 2005 retros were made with the same lead paint? Or did they officially stop buying paint from that supplier after the 1999 incident with the candy canes? I'm looking to get the 2005 retros, and I really want to confirm this for sure.
1999 was the last time. There was a recall for the shoes at that point so I don’t assume they continued to use it there after. It also doesn’t emit the nasty smell the OG 14s have.
@MJO23DAN 6 Yeah that's a very good point! Iike it's pretty damn safe to say they wouldn't continue to use that supplier, obviously. Lmao 😅 But thanks so much for clearing that up for me bro! I guess I just really needed to make sure cause I heard that the 2005s also has that glossy/sparkling type of paint, and I was worried it might've had traces of lead in it or something. But thanks again for the reply and confirming this for me, I really do appreciate it! 🙏
Usually I side with the banana shape on most Jordan retro silhouettes than the OGs because I like the slimmer look but this is the first time I completely side with the OG shape with these 14s... the 2018s looked a little awkward seeing them next to the OG’s because of that curved shape which made the tongue look high... i think that’s what turned me off about the bred 13s last year which I love colorway wise but that tongue looked bad
I just have a question. It's the first time that I have gotten hold of the 14's and I noticed, does the glittery looks on the teeth and on the midsole comes only on the OG's pair? Coz my 2018 pair is just shiny, not glittery
Haven’t seen enough of the retros up close since I don’t collect them but so far the glitter look is on the OG. I remember the recent Aqua 8 having glitter as well to replicate the OG.
Great Comparison OG Was In Better Shape And Quality I Didn’t Want 2018s Because The Shape Was Terrible I Mean Not A Bad Looking Shoe But I’ll Rather Grab Last Shot And Black Toe From 1999 Release With Original Box
Nice comparison never been a 14 guy it just looks like the anatomy of the foot of Freddy Kruger which is kind of creepy. I like the laney and Ferrari and the indigos
Well when they’re only paying them folks overseas less to make the product what do you expect? 🤔 cause the more high demand from the public the less likely the quality will be the best 🤷🏿♂️💯 we’re all still gonna buy Air Jordan’s rather we like it or not
I don’t think the thought process over there is “I’m gonna half ass my job so I can get paid” type of thing. These people live in a communist country so it’s either work or don’t get paid. Take for example Apple. They pump out I’m sure the same amount of product as the sneaker brands. Why can they provide excellent products (made in the same country) while the manufacture of shoes can’t be exampled the same way? It’s really on the brand. I understand how terrible the working conditions of factories can be. I used to work in one as a teenager packaging Halloween costumes and it was hell. But, some things, as an outsider looking in, all we can really make are assumptions so it’s easy to point the finger and say well, the product is like this because of this. Some things we can’t exactly explain.
My 2011 pair came with creases in the midsole . And footlocker was the only store that had my size 9.5 left , i scraped up the money by 8-9 pm that saturday and went to every store in the mall tryna get a pair. I got it but it did come creased witch i did not appreciate. To this day i dont shop at Footlocker even though it was jb fault
Transition period in sneakers and also back then more were spread out amongst factories. Also, most of the latest signatures have been made in Vietnam.
Agreed but they only recallled to avoid any further lawsuits . They didnt care about the adult shoes or even gs witch are bigger so more paint (with traces lead) was required . and im pretty sure plenty of kids were exposed to there parents pairs because most ppl dont store their jordans like us , most ppl just throw them in a closet mixed with a whole bunch of other shoes or leave them by the front door with all the other ppls who share the home shoes
6:47 "other than the high tongue, the suede, the midsole and the color, i think Jordan brand did a great job..." This is exactly why i don't buy retro since they massacred my beloved Air Penny 2 in 2008 like they did massacre every damn Air Jordan. Continue to buy shitty retros and Nike will continue to deliver shitty retros, thanks guys.
Copped the retro yo and I’m loving it.
Man there is nobody giving viewers videos of this depth about jordans and I appreciate that.
Great video as usual. You are my go to for comparisons. Excellent work bro!

Thanks bro couldnt wait to see the comparison the 18s are almost head on with the OGs💯✌
Another great comparison. Love these!
The little jazzy/saxophone music makes your videos so much better than the rest of the shoetubers. Keep up the great work
Thanks for the support 🙏
Great editing and camera work !!
Your definitely top 3 shoetuber,I Luv Ur shoe knowledge....
Easily, hes a legitimate sneakerhead which makes the content timeless.
this was my favorite Js to play ball in. didn't remember about the paint issue, so it's good to learn about stuff i don't know or remember. i'm okay with the banana shape because it is what it is, but seeing the shoe in person it didn't have a quality feel to it. i can't say i wasn't tempted to buy it tho. brought back memories of those teeth thing falling apart...lol
It was very helpful because I was wondering why my retro 14’s were darker than the original 14’s because I grew up in the suede being darker
GOAT Level Comparison Video!
just wanted to say THANKS for these comparison videos.. I try to get any OG pair that I can and your videos are so much help when I try 'eyeball' an OG pair online to buy. I recently got this same 1999 release (sz 9) and the comparison is spot on! Thanks again Marvin! #MaramingSalamat
Absolutely! Thank you for your support!
Been waiting for this comparison bro thanks for the Birthday Gift
Haha oh damn. Thank you. Happy birthday!
MJO23DAN thanks bro means a lot can't wait for your concord 11s comparison as well later this year lol
That’ll happen for sure!
Awesome, love your comparison videos 👌
Got them today .. super dope 2018 retro ❤
I copped these, just because when I was younger I passed up on these, but in my more mature eye these 2018’s look a lot more cooler now!
This is the first video that I checked out of you. You did a good job good comparison got into some good details. Overall I'm going to fan of the Jordan 14 but the Thunders. The Thunders are my favorite. They need the Retro them. Pittsburgh fan
Thunders were a good retro. I liked the white and green joints too. Simple colorways. Thanks for checking out my channel. 👍
These have shot up in price, I'm really excited to grab one. The 2018 is my only choice.
Great video
Been waiting for this video thanks
Finally bro...been waiting for this...as always its a homerun...u had a blooper😎😎😎 the Og still beasting..
Thanks for your patience haha
Bro...i know the effort ur putting when creating this reviews...it always worth the wait.. quality over quantity🥇🤗🤗🤗
Thank you bro for all your support 🙏
Great comparison video.
I never knew or remember about the kids paint recall.
Not a fan of the high tongue, the creasing midsole, and the glue stains.

Nice comparison fam
I keep seeing these Jordans everytime I'm on TH-cam. Gotta take hint... I'm shopping

I Finally Hooped In My 14s, They re Nice. I Doubled Up On These Because My 05s Came Apart From Too Much Hooping & Also Working In Them
I got a pair also they kinda hurt my feet for some reason
@@legendarytonyclutch They re Supposed To Be True 2 Size
i love that og cut on 14s but im satisfied with the 2018 pair
Thought it was interesting to see that the midsole and teeth on the tie cap were different colors between the 2 pairs.
that black box they did it in silver and black and the one that you have in your video is black and gold box very interesting
Silver box is the OG and the 2018 is the black and gold
The shape of the ankle collar on the lateral side of the retro 2018 curves more. It dips more the originals.
MJO23DAN +👍👍👍Thank you for the great comparison.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Happy 4TH of JULY. Salute fam. 👍✊👊✌💃🏼🕺🏿💯🙏
No doubt. Thank you for watching 👍🇺🇸
I noticed alot of glue stains on mine. I looked at two others and the same. Didn't like that so I returned mine.
I love mine! I ordered them in ‘18 and they came exactly on my bday! So that was a nice treat and a nice gift to myself for my bday!!

I got my Jordan 14. Good video!
is a very helpful video thank you
I thought I was bugging when I thought the tongue was really high

How do they OG fit ? Does the 10 fit like a 10.5 or should I just get 10.5 I’m looking at them on goat
Personally like going true to size
@@mjo23dan I appreciate the timely answer a lot I notice the suede is more furry on OGs it’s so old you think it can be re set ? I got a wire brush
It is but also seems more delicate than suedes used today. You can try doing an area. I’ve never tried.
@@mjo23dan would you buy a pair of OG in 2021 ? If so would they be for wear or for collection purposes
Collection. There’s nothing wrong with the retros to be honest.
Usually I side with the banana shape on most Jordan retro silhouettes than the OGs because I like the slimmer look but this is the first time I completely side with the OG shape with these 14s... the 2018s looked a little awkward seeing them next to the OG’s because of that curved shape which made the tongue look high... i think that’s what turned me off about the bred 13s last year which I love colorway wise but that tongue looked bad
Thanks man
Darn im still trying to avoid the shoe store if i see these ill buy them lol
I just have a question. It's the first time that I have gotten hold of the 14's and I noticed, does the glittery looks on the teeth and on the midsole comes only on the OG's pair? Coz my 2018 pair is just shiny, not glittery
Haven’t seen enough of the retros up close since I don’t collect them but so far the glitter look is on the OG. I remember the recent Aqua 8 having glitter as well to replicate the OG.
Is the teeth and lateral and medial midsole paint supposed to be that dark color of gray on the OG or is that due to age or paint they used?
Could be the paint they used more than the color itself.
MJO23DAN- OG the paint on the midsole on the black part looks duller. And the retro 2018 looks shiner.
You should get the Michigan 12s, they are sick
I’m good
Great Comparison OG Was In Better Shape And Quality I Didn’t Want 2018s Because The Shape Was Terrible I Mean Not A Bad Looking Shoe But I’ll Rather Grab Last Shot And Black Toe From 1999 Release With Original Box
Nice comparison never been a 14 guy it just looks like the anatomy of the foot of Freddy Kruger which is kind of creepy. I like the laney and Ferrari and the indigos
My 05 last shots triangle shrunk
You got a candy cane OG vs 2018.
No sorry
Well when they’re only paying them folks overseas less to make the product what do you expect? 🤔 cause the more high demand from the public the less likely the quality will be the best 🤷🏿♂️💯 we’re all still gonna buy Air Jordan’s rather we like it or not

Only thing I didn’t like was the shape. That banana cut
My 2011 pair came with creases in the midsole . And footlocker was the only store that had my size 9.5 left , i scraped up the money by 8-9 pm that saturday and went to every store in the mall tryna get a pair. I got it but it did come creased witch i did not appreciate. To this day i dont shop at Footlocker even though it was jb fault
Og over everything .
2005 version was best last shot retro outta of the 1999, 2011 & 2018
Why do some oh Jordan’s say made in Taiwan and some say made in china
Transition period in sneakers and also back then more were spread out amongst factories. Also, most of the latest signatures have been made in Vietnam.
Not at a level much higher. Just a level unsafe for kids . read The article !
Lead paint is toxic no matter what level it is. All the shoes should’ve been recalled since traces of lead were present.
Agreed but they only recallled to avoid any further lawsuits . They didnt care about the adult shoes or even gs witch are bigger so more paint (with traces lead) was required . and im pretty sure plenty of kids were exposed to there parents pairs because most ppl dont store their jordans like us , most ppl just throw them in a closet mixed with a whole bunch of other shoes or leave them by the front door with all the other ppls who share the home shoes
Jordan 6, Jordan 11, Jordan 14 ; the shape of the toecap (front of the shoe) is so fire on the OG, i hate the retro toecaps, they're so ugly
6:47 "other than the high tongue, the suede, the midsole and the color, i think Jordan brand did a great job..." This is exactly why i don't buy retro since they massacred my beloved Air Penny 2 in 2008 like they did massacre every damn Air Jordan. Continue to buy shitty retros and Nike will continue to deliver shitty retros, thanks guys.
This just don’t look right in person
air jordan 14 retro the last banana bred. 😁
First
