90% of the people knocking these now will be in pick-up posts a year from now coppin 'em. Nobody liked the LeBron 9s at first, but I think they did alright, wouldn't you say...?
im sure well still cop but im guessing its going to be like KD III, not many copped but some still did. well see how it goes.... but seems like a big let down compared to KD III -> KD IV
Lol at Lostman, I actually wrote the part about the PS'd CWs but for some reason it got stuck in sho3tyms quote
But I think they look nice and the more ppl who dont like equals to easier to buy for me lol
the first and last CWs are nice, but the design of the shoe i am not feeling but i was like this with the Lebron 9 and ended up with 4 pairs
they do remind me of every Bball pair Nike releases I.E hyperfuse, heyperdunks,hyerforcers, etc etc
but i will wait on actual pics to make final decision if copping but it is to seen to tell
Love the new look. It looks like the 1st hyperfuse,KD1,hyperdunk. Heel air is a welcome site for me cuz the heel-toe trans action in the 1`s and 2`s were the best..but heel cushioning goes a long ways..especially if you have some sorta joint issues(KD has been wearing a brace on his knee as of late). Im just trying to figure out whats in the forefoot..the description says "and comfortable forefoot?????". Thanks for posting sho3..on point as always.
These have some potential and will probably beast on court. And it might just be me but does it look like lunar? Midsole looks similar to the new hyperdunks.
Off of a first look of these, I'm not really that impressed. Design-wise like some other people have said they look like any other Hyperdunk/Hyperfuse type of shoe that's already out there, and I can't really imagine them putting in any kind of particularly unique tech. I'm reserve my judgement for when I can see more pics and hold them in my hand, but not really that impressed so far.
They look a lot better in person. These pics make them look too much like a normal Hyperdunk. Easily his best shoe, glad Nike stemmed away from the low cut and did away with the strap.
This happens with every new model we see, people saying it looks "generic" yada yada yada. Nike usually comes through on signature series' so just wait and see what they do with the model.
Air Blue Chip II got a makeover it seems...
Nonetheless, I'm in.
KD did play in blue chips when he first came in the league so I wouldn't be surprised if that's were the inspiration came from... zoom in the forefoot is always appreciated and glad they kept too that route... now as far as the max in the heel, its confusing cuz we had nike say for 4 previous KD models that KD barely makes heel contact with the ground while balling... lets hope it shoe works with KDs game... I think they look good.... when more pics drop more people will appreciate them
Once the "nerf", "weatherman","yotd", and "asg" colorways drop on this shoes, everyone is gonna be jumping on the wagon. Imma wait till better pictures come out. I first thought the kd iv were wack with the strap, but now i have four pairs.
