It seems like since the XVIs, one of Jordan Brand's creeds has been 'If you're not sure how it looks, throw patent on it.'

That's just horrible. I was all set to buy the ripstop version, now I want nothing to do with this shoe. They're beyond tacky. This"sapphire" has all the class of a plastic gemstone.
Patent was overdone 6 years ago. It has absolutely no impact now, it just looks cheap and gaudy.

I was going to buy the first ones @ retail.
I'm not getting them now even if they're on sale.

So they change the material from patent leather on the Max Orange joints to nylon and change these from what looked like to be a nylon material to all patent.I like that change in the sense I'd rather have nylon Max Orange's, but why the all patent?
They look like the Dunks that came out not too long ago. Not sure what they're called, but that's what first came to mind.
Good find OP, by the way.
