IMO his 'toebox' analogy is on point

If they released an AJ3 with a jumpman on the toe box that'd be very much parallel to what they did with the AJ1s heel.. its pretty simple :lol:

..but from the sounds of it, had they also just done that 15 yrs ago.. ya'll wouldn't care either :x

700



:lol: "its pretty simple"

expand please?

opinions are opinions, but what's fact is....the toebox is a very visible block of any shoe. size and placement wise. The back of the hell is small area and not very visible. So Very Visible and Not very visible arent the same thing. apples and oranges.
 


nah man, there's literally x amount of of material to make the toebox and X amount of material to make the area the logo sits on the heel.

also, we are all humans and have a similar vantage point. there's some subjectivity, but not here
 
It is simple in 1985 was there anything on the heel...no

Then they decided to toss a jumpman on the heel as JB began to over do it on branding.

The analogy is just saying that it is similar to tossing branding where it originally wasn't before on a pair of threes. It's not hard to understand
 
Authtentic Gucci customs with Gucci sockliner and a 3M type shine on the lighter parts. (Not my custom)
Ah, Yesss, back to 2003. Most think the gucci air force ones were corny but if they are done right they could look fuego. 

I'd tap that.

It's all personal preference. I'm not gonna act like I don't prefer the N/A, but those 09 Shadows were special. I'd take them over '13's every time jumpman or not.
 
09 Shadows' suede/nubuck actually feels a lot like the SBBs orange parts to me. The black parts of the 09 Shadows are damn nice too.
 
ok so the original jordan 1 had a blank heel right? so when they added the jumpman to the heel it was a random addition to the shoe that had no branding there what so ever, now the tongue tag is different because that is replacing nike air branding with jordan branding and im fine with that. still with me? to me adding the jumpman where there was no branding is the same as if JB put a random jumpman on the toebox ,or any other area that was blank, of the jordan 3 it would look off or fake or just plain stupid. so the addition of the jumpman on the originally blank heel of the jordan 1 makes them look horrible to me

I agree 100%. The addition of the Jumpman is horrible. Whoever came up with that is an idiot. Should NEVER be there. Bottom line, they shouldn't have changed the Nike Air from the tag either. The wings logo labels it as an Air Jordan. Period.

Idiots at Jordan Brand.

in other news, Bashmilk rocked some All Star 1's today. 
Nice! Once I held them and seen them in person, I just couldn't keep them. The remastered molding got me spoiled :wink:

Referring yourself in the third person is kind of concerning, though :lol: :wink:

I think the AS1 are way better than the lettermans just my 2 cents. Nice pick up Egypt guy! Just commented on your fb post on the 1's thread
 
Was thinking bout grabbing a pair of metalics. Where am I gonna find the best price? Lowest I can find them is $135 on ebay. Is that the lowest I'm gonna find or can I do better? Any help would be appreciated
