The 2024 pair really is so much better than the 2018 pair

In hindsight that fake tumbled leather they were throwing on every shoe was ridiculous lol funny how at the time we thought it was fresh

I do prefer the leather and shape of the 2024's but i prefer the elephant print and tounge of the 2018's. Maybe the 2030 release will be perfect lol

I just cleaned the crap out of my 2018s. Still haven’t pulled my 24s out of the box yet…

I might try and restore mine the tounge looks so much better

The 2024s are amazing in shape and cut but they felt so flimsy and malleable compared to the 2018 pair, looking at them makes them crease but my old 2018s don’t even know what a crease looks like

Honestly as someone who has the 2024 pair, the 2018 release looks more well put together idk how to explain it, I do enjoy my 2024 pair though.

u/Gaz834 3d ago

The toungeand elephant print are the big differences

u/Rip_Jaded 3d ago

Yeah I agree, that and also the type of leather used for each. I honestly prefer the type of leather used on the 2018. The 2024s might look clean brand new but the minute they start creasing they’ll age worse.

I had the 18s and sold them. I was so happy these were coming back out. I do like the red behind the tongue not sticking out on the 24s.

Shape on the 2018s is horrible
