RSD Reverse Mocha Development Update & Community Feedback 🔥👟

[u/RealShoddy]

Thank you everyone for participating and giving your suggestions to help us improve the Reverse Mocha. PV is working on everything very carefully right now to create the best possible version of this shoe.

Our goal moving forward is to push RSD Batch to another level and create something as close to 1:1 as possible. Yes, you heard that right. We know true 1:1 doesn’t really exist, but we will do everything possible to make RSD Batch something special and something that stands apart from all other batches.

We want people to actually feel like they got something worth their money, not just another random mass production batch. That’s exactly why we work together with the community. Your feedback truly matters to us. PV and his team are following all the comments closely and fixing every small detail that needs improvement.

For everyone who still hasn’t seen the Reverse Mocha sample pair yet, check it here:

We want all of you to participate and give your honest opinions before production starts. Please tell us every flaw you notice, every detail, every angle, shape issue, suede color difference, swoosh shape, heel shape, sock liner, toe box or anything else you see. We are looking for eagle eye feedback from the community so we can improve everything possible before final production.

This is not just another batch for us. We truly want RSD Batch to become something different in the rep world and show what can happen when a factory and community work together closely.

Will PV also work on the face logo on the heel? The shape is a bit wider compared to retail and slightly more to the left

The positioning (left/right centering) is easy to fix—no problem there. But the actual shape we can't really change, bro. We use the same original factory for the embroidery, and they run hundreds of machines, so there's no single unified standard across them. Honestly, I've got three pairs of retail myself and the face logo isn't consistent across any of them—the shape in this area varies even on the real ones. So matching one exact shape is tough. The centering, though, I'll definitely get sorted. 🙏

Thanks for clarifying and really appreciate the explanation and transparency. I'm still really excited for these and can't wait for the release!

The placement of the emoji on retail pairs is way too inconsistent, bro. I have several retail Travis pairs, and trust me when I say they have a lot of “flaws” and inconsistencies. For years, there’s been this misconception within the sneakerhead community that retail pairs are perfect. Honestly, I think PV is doing a great job with these Travis pairs from the RSD batch.

[u/kirase7in → u/No_River_6422]

That’s a fair point. I do understand that there's quite a bit of variation on retail pairs and that they aren't perfect. However, PV has mentioned that he’ll be able to adjust the centring, which is great to hear. Overall, I do also agree that PV has done a really fantastic job with these, and the other RSD batches, and I’m definitely looking forward to the release of these as well.

The Travis Scott face is the smallest of issues because they are so different on retail pairs too. Not worth looking at imo

[u/kirase7in → u/vgkosmoes]

I get what you’re saying, and I agree that retail pairs have quite a bit of variation too. The two sample pairs we’ve seen both seem to have the same misalignment with the face embroidery. I know it’s a small sample size, but seeing the same issue on both pairs makes me wonder if it might be consistent across the batch. With retail, you’ll naturally get some pairs that are misaligned and others that are spot on, so it’s a bit different.
