HENGYUCLUB NEW BATCH UPDATE
Hey everyone,
Like many of you, I've been waiting anxiously for a good batch of Amiri MX1s as Mike won't restock again. That is why here is the new update from Hengyuclub. If you remember the previous release (the old batch), it was decent but definitely had its flaws. I wanted to put this review together to show you some side-by-side examples of just how much this new batch has improved.
Here’s my breakdown of what’s released and where the biggest changes are.
1. The Denim Wash (Color & Texture)
OLD BATCH: If you look at the hung pair, you can see that the denim wash was quite light and, honestly, felt a bit flat. It didn't have much depth, which made them look a bit plain compared to what we expect from retail Amiris.
NEW BATCH: Now, looking at the flat-lay pair, the change in wash is immediately obvious. The new batch has a much richer, deeper blue. It includes more "texture", so to speak. It feels substantially more premium than the previous attempt.
2. The Leather Patches (The Major Fix)
OLD BATCH: This was the single biggest flaw. In the old batch, the patches were literally to small. They stood out in a way that screamed "rep" easily.
NEW BATCH: Looking at the new batch, this fatal flaw has been addressed (a little bit). The patches are now bigger and better looking. This change alone makes the new batch a massive improvement. Although the round shape is NOT really close to retail apart from some models.
3. Distressing and Shape
Overall, the shape of the distressing around the patches seems cleaner on the new batch. The distressing looks less "forced" and better integrated with the fabric. The main button looks slightly improved as well.
I have to say that Hengy really came stomping with this update. They listened to the community feedback on the old batch and made the exact improvements necessary.
Verdict: DEFINITIVE MUST COP. If you've been on the fence about getting MX1 reps because the colors were off, this is the sign you've been waiting for. The wash and patch color fix make this an absolute winner.
A huge thanks to Hengyuclub for this updated release! Let me know if you guys have any questions.
ALSO I feel I need to add something. I've been checking Mike dept amiris reviews and notice that the patch has almost the same shape as Hengys. Check this in picture 2nd and 3rd.
