BrandBlack

Tom - XX9 - great fit and comfort, traction is great but not as good as XX8, cushioning is stable and solid - not bouncy or as "unlocked" as the XX8. Compares to the XX8 it is better and worse than some, about 50%.

  can't wait for that shoe.

Sounds like Feb. 2015 release for the J.C II

I've heard rumors of November 2014, which from a sales perspective makes a little more sense. For many high school ball players, the season starts around October/November and wraps up around February. They have little to no supply of last year's models available anymore, so by waiting until February to release their new models, they would miss out on a large contingency of potential clients.
 
Heard those rumors too.  Actually, I saw either a twitter or IG reply from the designer himself saying "soft launch" Nov 2014 and full release Feb 2015.  Not sure what that would be like in November, but it sounds like maybe not a public release but more sending pairs out to folks to weartest

From what I can tell, the weartesting period was started months ago with the final model having been sent out weeks ago. A soft launch could be a simple as a limited quantity in limited colorways being put up for sale on their own website.

But back to the shoes themselves, the raptor los have become one of my favorite on court options of the year. They are total performance beasts
 
I can't wait to try a pair of these on soon. I hear the materials/execution is actually the price point. Isn't that a wonderful new idea (...NIKE / AIR JORDAN) ... LOL

Raptor Lo is my favorite shoe of 2014, hands down.  

UAs clutchfit drive mid/low, kd VII and jordan XX9 are all there, but these raptors were just a total surprise and just play so smooth for me.
 
As a reviewer, I sometimes worry that my opinions are completely off and I look stupid for liking certain shoes. Reading these opinions make me feel great - I loved the Raptor lo and play in it whenever I am going to a new court or when I am not doing a review shoe. BrandBlack is so far above most one year companies - certain brands need to look out.
 
Very limited (24 pairs) and only at a specific in-store location (the REVOLVE pop-up at the Grove in LA) for the December release. I was told February is when they will become more available to the public.
 
The JCII is such a good looking shoe. Sucks to sign with a company like Nike and have a wack sig shoe like Kyrie Irvings when a new company is making better looking and probably performing shoes.

Don't get it twisted though, if any company gave me more money id go there. That Nike money long.
 
Got no way of getting these. Dont do international shipping, and they don't ship to places that forward packages.

I know they sold last year's models through JackThreads.com which ships internationally.

As a Canadian, had been pretty salty over Brandblack not shipping internationally until I found that out.
 
oh man, i need a pair of the crossover 1s in a sz 9.5 so bad!!!

somebody help me get a pair!!!
 
I think they will be getting international shipping soon, if they don't I'm in the U.S. and I can be an intermediary for anyone if they need it.
