You really only get one shot at a 40th anniversary. 
Everyone is working towards the same goal, which is as close to 1 to 1 replication to have the most historically accurate. 

Version of the shoe down to the stitch length down to the thickness of the leather down to the finish on the wings logo that's the goal. Every version of the Air Jordan one retro kind of looks different. There wasn't a recipe book that was left behind by the original team. We had to basically.

Create this from scratch, a sort of reverse engineer it. We did some CT scans and high resolution scans through reference in terms of shape and proportion. Meticulous is an understatement. Obsessive is probably a more appropriate word the beautiful.
