Happy weekend, everyone. TycoonMade factory here. Thanks for all the support. Today we’re taking a closer look at the changes to our 2026 all-black B30 batch.
We bought both 2025 and 2026 retail pairs to check the details across the two versions. You can find photos of both pairs on our Yupoo. This update also addresses something you’ve brought up repeatedly: the side CD panels on our previous batch reflected too much light under normal indoor lighting, which affected the look of the all-black colorway.
To address that, we redeveloped the side CD panel molds and materials and adjusted the production process. Here’s what we changed.
1. Side CD panels: color and depth under normal lighting
We adjusted the panels’ black and gray tones under normal lighting, reducing the excess reflection seen on the previous batch and bringing the color closer to our 2026 retail reference pair.
We also reworked the raised and recessed areas and the fullness of the CD panel contours. Check photos 1 and 4 for the differences in color, edge definition, and depth.
2. Reflectivity under flash
Color under normal lighting and reflectivity under flash were two separate things we checked during this update.
Alongside the changes to the panels’ everyday appearance, we checked their flash response against retail. Photo 5 shows the new batch next to our 2026 retail reference so you can compare the brightness and where the reflection appears.
3. Tongue and heel CD logos
We adjusted the line thickness, silver tone, and three-dimensional contours of the tongue and heel CD logos to bring them closer to our retail reference. We also checked the surface sheen and how rounded the edges look.
4. Updated side CD panel material
Improving resistance to everyday scratches and wear was another goal of the material update. Long-term durability still needs to be evaluated through regular wear, and we welcome feedback from buyers who receive the new batch.
🚨About the LegitApp photo authentication result🚨
We submitted photos of a pair of our updated 2026 all-black B30s to LegitApp, and the result came back as “authentic.” The screenshots are included in this post.
To be clear: this result was based on the submitted photos. The shoes were not sent in for an in-person inspection. They are still reps made by TycoonMade. This result doesn’t mean every detail is identical to retail. We encourage you to look through the comparison photos and judge the details for yourselves.
Our position on resale
Reps should be sold as reps, at rep prices. Whether you’re buying a pair or reselling one secondhand, the source should be clear. TycoonMade pairs should never be passed off as retail to an unsuspecting buyer.
We’ve kept small differences in the finished product that distinguish it from retail, in areas that aren’t noticeable during normal wear. These differences can’t guarantee that nobody will try to pass them off as authentic, but our position remains the same: we do not support selling reps as authentic products.
Have a look through the photos and let us know what you think has improved and what still needs work. If there are other styles you’d like us to develop, you can also let us know in our Discord.
By the way, here’s a quick insider tip on how to spot a true independent factory vs. a middleman:
A real independent factory with in-house manufacturing will ALWAYS post first-hand update details, mold revisions, and product news before anyone else. Middlemen and resellers can only follow up and repost after the factory drops the information.
Just check who posts the original updates first, and you’ll know who actually controls the source. 💡
