Before you newbs respond, a retro + is a retro in a new colorway. IT IS NOT A RETRO OF AN ORIGIONAL. That being said, I noticed that with the plethora ofretro + colorways to come out in the last few years, most have been white based. There were usualy several white based retro + colorways when a shoe wasretroed, but there was only 1 black based give or take. What makes this even worse is that several were "black cats" where they were all black. Here is a list of the black based retro + (not counting the I because I seriously dont know how many have come out latley). This is a shame, because asidefrom the black cats most were great retro + colorways.

II - Black/chrome

III - black cat

IV - Laser, black cat

V - Black/Univ Blue

VI - Black/Silver low, DMP

VII - Chambary, Citrus

VIII - Black/Silver

IX - NONE

X - Black Cat

XI - Zest Low, Spacejam (if you consider it a +)

XII - Newbuck

XIII - Altitude, Maize Low

XIV - CDP, Redwood, Black/University Blue

XV - Laser, CDP

XVI - None

XVII - CDP (if you consider them retro + due to suede being the main material)

XVIII - CDP

XIX - None

XX - CDP

XXI -CDP

XXI - CDP

. There will be quite a fewresponding im sure, but i feel you on that one
 
^^^ THanks bud, I forgot all about the VIII, Ill go edit that now. As for the XX3, the "Black Friday" pairs all say black is the dominate color onthe box, but I agree with you that they seem more white than black.

The reason I said that is because I had a thread a littlewhile black about what your favorite retro + 1 was, and half of the replies were for the black/red straps. Those were an og colorway, and by seeing that beinglisted, it was obvious half of the posters in the thread didnt know what a retro + was.
 
Yea ive noticed that as well. Black kicks are better since they dont get as dirty or scuffed up.

cdp's colors were based on mj's time as a BULL
 
Past couple of years it's been white leather or black suede. I just want some more black leather kicks. The last good ones I can recall are the Altitudes.
 
i was thinking, i also noticed some of the new hybrids lack black colorways. cept for the dubs. but the spizikes have like 3 colorways i believe and the 6rings have like 3 also. i know most ppl on here dunt care for the hybrids but its jus a thought. its not jus the retro +.
 
i'd like to see some fours in a retro plus colorway that feature black/blue. motorsports or something similar. same kinda goes for the threes
 
we need more black/caro retro+s. the xiv was great but id love some xiis and xiiis.
 
good i hate black based shoes.

White Cement over Black Cement

White Infrared over Black Infrared

Hare VII over Bordeaux
