What's trash about them exactly? Just curious

Just looked cheap and bulky compared to the mids

Held them in hand. The color way was meh too

I don't care for retrios but if I was impressed I'd say it

The 5s that dropped a few weeks ago are cool but not for $200 :lol:

Looks dope in person too, if I didn't have my white infrareds from last year nearly intact, I might've copped these. Loved vi lows since the og carolinas and black metallics I had, but might be tempted down the line if I can cop for a deep discount. Also at this price it was an easy pass.




Might've looked "hot" to others if the maps looked like this:

:lol:

And if the mighty Nike Air was on the back, price or materials wouldn't matter either
 
they selling fine but who cares? if you wanted them it makes it even easier. i'm glad it was easy to snag them!
 
"Looked cheap compared to mids"

I don't believe that you've held them or even seen them in person, or you wouldn't/couldn't say that.

They aren't screaming high quality by any means but nobody will say the quality is better on last years Infrared/White 6, except someone who hasn't seen this shoe.

Cheap and bulky compared to the other Six?  Dude all the Six's to me looks like this lol.

As for the color, I like the design of the Six and the feel.  The sole is freaking nice too (love the traction pattern of the Six, seven, thirteen, 28, 29).  But you know what man.. Look atll of Nike's infrared color.  They all look like cheap nail polish (that pink) or its super rouge red.  

As for the Pro Star fives that released last month?  Each to there own man.  Some people loved it because it reminded them of the Pro Star cartoon.  Some people hated them.   
 
when shoulee posted em half a year ago i was all in..got em with ease at the mall today! infrared my fav color..tumbled leather...low top of my favorite model..yeah im all about these!!!! you can tell the leather is nicer they feel just as heavy if not as heavy as the mid. paint seems done better too than the infra 6's. i got SUPER ocd so i can tell these remastered joints truly are done better except 11's i still cant find a difference. 
 
I copped today unexpectedly.

They look wayyyy better in person. IMO a better looking shoe than the mid white infrared because they integrated way more black into the design. These will become summertime beaters for me [emoji]128076[/emoji]

I am slightly peeved BC my lacelock is SMASHED on one shoe. I didn't notice till I got home and its literally stuck on there [emoji]128565[/emoji][emoji]128299[/emoji]

They seem true to size to me, and when I can't get my exact size I prefer to go a half-size up rather than  a half-size down, if that's possible.

The colorway isn't bad, but low VI's are trash

You take away two of the best parts of the VI, the silhouette and the tongue when you chop them down to a low. They've always looked awkward and were never in high demand. I'm not really sure why they retroed them. Why not just retro a XVI or XVII.

I like this colorway but 175 for some lows? When we just had mids for 169? Hell to the naw

And really nike? Now you put just the jumpman on the back but put that ugly jumpman air on the mids? Stupid.
 
Mine were sent to the erp so they should be in from Italy around Thursday. Can't wait to get them in hand.
 
Yep that's the site. They are hit or miss. The best thing about them are the random restocks.

I mean honestly I love the 6's and these don't look too bad. The black on the midsole kills the shoe for me and the price is just never coming out of my pocket for shoes again. Conclusion, pass

Me too, but I bought em to paint the black portion white on the midsole. Photoshop anybody? I used a 20 off rewards so it was worth it. Nice tumbled leather, the suthetic on the toe box felt like the stuff used in the early 2000s and JB improved on the toe box bump a little. The 2014s had the horrible toe box bump that killed the shoe for me.

Easy pass for me since I only like VIs in Mids, but the quality on these lows is better than what we got last year. :smh:
