They look dope right here because you can't see that glittery patent leather and the funky colors in it. This pic makes me want to cop. Then I see the pics in direct sunlight and I change my mind. I will say, The mold is on point tho.
 
IMO all these on foot pics look terrible.
Dudes got the laces all choked up and that one dude has on what safari joggers?
 
yeeeeuuuuck. i was on board when i thought they were going to be space jams with a red jumpman, these ol' boys are beyond saving
 
I actually prefer mesh over the leather on XIs. And I think the 23 on the back could've used more contrast, maybe red or the traditional white? Oh well. Still waiting on some official pics.

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking. More money for us I suppose. Not the worse, but not worth all the chaos for sure.
 
I can't totally tell just based off the pics, but is the patent leather clear? And is that the tumbled upper showing through it that makes that textured look?
Nah, all patent leather is, is leather with a coating over it to give it that hard, shiny texture. My guess is that they did that but with tumbled leather instead of smooth.

It doesn't look like it's leather at all but just some glittery clear plastic
 
New pics just make these look better and better

So buttery... put in the pan let it sizzle
Cook up, watch it come back official

That's what it looks like to me. It doesn't look like the "pattern" is on the patent leather, but is actually just the tumbled leather upper being seen through. I hope I'm wrong, but that seems like a bad/cheesy idea for such an iconic shoe.
 
These are pretty weak in my opinion. JB is playing with people's money. Any black and red combination on the XIs will sell out though...
