Adidas Torsion Integral S - OG vs 2013 retro

So the retro of the much lusted Adidas Integral S is nearly upon us and Sneakers Addict have done a pictorial comparison of the origninals in comparison with the new retro model.
The largest bone of contention with appreciators of vintage models a profile not being quite like the original,ffrom cries of "shape's way off" and "look at the toebox,not right at all" and so forth.Now we can see here the front is indeed boxier than the OG but considering how much of a better job Adidas do than Nike with retros I can forgive this one,compare the OG Tech Supers and the re issues to any Nike retro (Air Base II,i'm looking at you) of late and you must surely agree.

The colours are spot on,I had feared they wouldn't get it right from early  images I had seen but once again Adidas have pulled it around to great effect.
The darker Grey of the OG I  am putting down to age,I am however liking the addition of the trefoil however pointless it actually is.
The toebox looks more rounded  on the OG,however this may be down to age and wear. All in all,a good retro of a much sought after sihlouette,I doubt it'll bring OG prices down but it is a definite winner from Adidas in a year of quality from  them.
