And what about these?? AJ IV Mars:

Upside down Jumpmans, I can understand. Typos? Sure, why not. But this is completely unacceptable! On one shoe, the netting is a dark grey, while the other shoe features a white net. It's like they just used whatever they could find to scrap together this pair. It's not like any other AJIV used a grey netting, so I'm not sure HOW this mistake was done. I'd almost rather have the pair of fakes pictured on the shirt rather than these....almost!

 I wonder how that happened. I think that's the same netting Nike used on the CG IVs. Do you know if the side panels are also darker grey ? 





I remember seeing a pair of 2000 Concords online a long time ago that had blue traction pods from the Jams. I don't know if they were customized or just a factory fluke though.

I think you're right! I completely forgot about the cool grey IV's. I don't have my pairs on hand right now to inspect them, but this would make some sense. Still no excuse for the mishap though.

However, it does somewhat validate the theory of JB using scrap parts to make additional pairs.
 
I bought the Columbia XIV Low's on RD from a Champs store back in '99. I wore them a TON, and then one day a few years later I noticed something...




They have different parts on the bottoms. The left shoe has a columbia blue Jumpman with a grilled plate while the right shoe has a white Jumpman with carbon fiber.

Compare to a DS pair, they both should have the blue Jumpman with the grilled plate.



Side by side comparison.
 
That's definitely an odd mistake xretroxkickzx....Looks like they used parts from the Carolina XIV MID PE's for your lows.

Thinking I missed something on first inspections.

About the 64 points scored in 1993,
MJ scored 64 points against the Orlando
Magic in the season 1992/1993, but i
Think MJ was wearing the 7 Cardinals
Or the 8 White/reds.
 
Haha this thread is awesome. I'm trying to think of more errors I guess you could say the messed up looking jumpmans on some of the space jams.

Cardinals for sure. Another reason why this pack didn't make sense to me.

Yeah, i'd say that's a pretty good assumption.


I also have a pair of '00 Space Jams w/the mislabeled box tag and that "18 Years of Love" shirt. Never noticed the shirt error, nice find.

There's so many errors on that shirt

The doubled up nickname (lightnings used twice for the 4's) do count....The actual colors they used for the font don't even match what they're referencing, the fan-made nicknames mixed in with actual color nicknames they've used on the boxes (b'reds, black toes, hares and playoffs), the missing 11 next to "cool grey" and the biggest blunder on the entire shirt: "SEPTEMBER BLUE".

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN SPORT BLUE!

The only thing that could have made this worse, was if they used RAPTORS for the VII's.

Couldn't have agreed more!
 
Not my pic, but I had a pair of these as well. Nothing major, but a misspelled word on the box tag to say the least.

No, they don't. They were actually going to release that way but, do to the color bleeding, canceled it and that's why the release date was pushed back a few times. No error there, just a scrapped idea.

I think the fact that some pairs still leaked out to the public was a mistake. The actual shoe...Not so much.
 
Didnt see this posted:  Spiz'ike video.  Roman numeral VII (7) on wall, shoe pictured Jordan VI (6)
