I just have one question: Why would JB release something like this, when they could have released the Maroon 6's which in my opinion look a whole lot better than these? I don't get it!

key part of your post was

"in my opinion"


and the real question is why wouldnt they release something like this ...

 

[teejaye1100]

Why release new colorways or designs of the VI's if they haven't retroed all the original colorways yet. These are cool but nothing to write home about unless one is a sneakerhead who loves every shoe JB puts out.

A lot of the newer collectors won't care about the maroons. They'll see it as a plain CW and it's not flashy at all. If they released the maroons, I can see them sitting on shelves. Even sport blues are sitting in some places.

I think it depends on which state or location your in. Here Northwest Indiana the all 6's sold out instantly. The ones that set on shelves were the 14's. We won't ever know until the Maroon 6's actually release.

This pic just came across my TL on IG

Fakes have the wrong face placement i guess

Could it be that their are two different pairs being released and the Japenese version is different than US version? Not so much as the one being fake?

Highly doubt it! Those dudes are just apart of the latest and greatest sneaker conspirators.

The age old internet adage of: because it's happening where I live it applies nationwide.

NO.  Shoes may sit in certain places but to apply whats happening locally as a national thing is just absurd.

Same logic that the first ferrari 14's were marron and the rest were a different shade.  Nope.

 

[ronaldcinho]

got a pair coming from japan. hoping they're fire!

 

[shenggg]

I'm referring to the NA release. Which is much more limited than the Asia one for sure.

well now im just hoping they do the count down timer on the release. then id be fine. 

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Global production is looking like roughly 20K pairs, looks like Asia got a good amount. US will fight for the leftover scraps.

Early fake from the info I just received. Take it with a grain of salt. The best way to know the fakes made and distributed before JB showed a real pair is all those fakes have the "E" in "MINE" fully visible and every real pair has it halfway cutoff into the stitching and cut out of the top of the toebox.

 

[coldcity]

yep!

Maroon's are really overrated

If they weren't an OG colorway, people wouldn't be pressed for them

 

[teejaye1100]

I wouldn't say overrated,sneakerheads that appreciate good shoes like the ones MJ actually wore.

Eh...You may have a point. But often times, being an OG colorway is enough to get people to "press" for them.

 

[teejaye1100]

I never applied what's happening locally to a national level. You misunderstood what I said. I said here in Northwest Indiana, I never said it applied nationally.

Regardless, both would and will be crazy releases without a doubt hyped over

 

[ijackpot]

Will these only be releasing on Nike Store online, any luck at retailers???
