They'll have to do!
I have the Breds, Military Blue's, White Cement, and Mars Red's of the latest retros. I also have the 99 Breds, 99 Cements and 99 Columbia Blues.
I only state this as the 99 retros are exact copies of the OG's and if the new releases are stood next to them there's heck of a difference, but if this is all there is then I guess they'll have to do!
The new retro's have taken some serious slimming pills and are a shadow of there former selves bulk-wise, It's a shame as they've lost a bit of there aggressive appeal. The new mesh on the sides and tongue is also not as nice to the touch or visually but the design of the tongue is a lot neater.
All in all the latest retros are a great sneaker but not as good as the OG's.

Such a shame..
As the other review point's out, you can not go wrong in the look's department, it's a bonafied legend of the sneaker world but... I wore my pair for the first time yesterday for no more than 3 hour's. I walked to town (15 minutes) visited 2 shops, sat and had lunch for one of these hours and walked back home, no running or dunking of b-ball's of any type. I got home and honestly they have creased to the point that it look's like I have worn them solid for a month, and i am not goin o.t.t on this, the leather quality on these has to be the worst so far from the Jordan brand, for instance my grey cement 4's have been worn 3 time's and show no sign of wear. Bit of a let down overall considering the retail price too

GREAT LOOKING SHOE BUT...
Although the 4's are the one of the best designs by the Jordan brand, the quality on the 2012 retros is not up to the standards i would expect for the price that you pay... The leather creases way to easily for my liking!
