It seems that most of the "retro" shoes companies are releasing use lower quality, firmer mid sole foams than the original sheet-cut EVA. Does anyone know of specific models out there that are more true to the originals?

Saucony jazz are pretty close to the originals, newbalance 574 too, bikes are nowhere near, adidas marathon trainer is exactly the same.
I'm assuming you mean nikes; I doubt you are referring to cro-mo steel frames :). Do you know anything about the Onitsuka Tiger collection that Asics has now?
Tigers are hit and miss, the California and the run spark are pretty close to the original, as is the Moscow, the ultimate 81 isn't great. Some of the asics reissues like the sortie 87 are pretty good.
