I recently started playing in my XX9s again, forgot how supremely comfortable those shoes are. Will definitely get a pair of these as well for ball, regardless of the disappointing design.

$22 gets you insoles with heel zoom. Been using them in my xx9 lows. So far so good. This way you get full length zoom.

The zoom bag in janoskis is pretty thin though. Can hardly notice it

I'm sure they wear test the crap out of those before it was scrapped. I think Jordan himself still does wear test them to some extend and then have guys like Westbrook test them. personally i don't think it was the design that caused it to be scrapped, but rather the performance aspect of it.
the xx8 xx9 works just fine for heavier players too tho. i was running around at 220-225 lbs when i played in xx8s and still around 220 lbs when i first got the xx9 at around october 2014. now i'm at 191-192 lbs. i mean, you got NBA players that are 265lbs like Sullinger wearing them too, so weight of the player isn't a issue with the cushion setup.

The reason I like the thinner sole is that it won't life your heel that much higher. In my experience when you mess with insoles it changes the heel height which can aggravate injuries.

I got rear ended two weeks ago and my back is just a little tight so my sensitivity has increased to stuff like that. That's why I loved the Lebron XII low. Air max in the back wtih the zoom pods is stupid comfortable.

Yeah. I've had no luck with any of these insoles. My bro works at a store where they get discounts on all of them. The only ones I've really liked are the super feet, but the side to side movement of basketball doesn't work well with any of these. I've always believed that a good cushioning setup is crucial for basketball.
I feel for your pops man. The cars are built to take the hits, but we aren't. Thanks for the well wishes bro.

I've recently started to have some feet/arch problems myself, so I've tried a lot of the store-bought insoles as well. I also like the Superfeet the best, but nothing is perfect. Doctor told me recently that I need to get custom orthotics, which are super expensive. Going to do it if I can get insurance to cover it. Hopefully, it helps.
So, although the situation is different, I sympathize with your situation. Best of luck and I hope your back starts to feel better.

I need some insoles to basically replace the Zoom in a few pairs. Zoom has gotten unresponsive but still want to wear the shoes casually as they look fine still.
Any recommendations?

The materials used in the manufacturing process will alter the look somewhat.These were handmade so the finish product will look slightly different. Just like all prototypes it's a good look at what you want the end result to look like. And the bar over the top is a device. It's a ionized copper bar to allow flowing energy around your foot the part of the foot that moves the most during play. It's helps keep oxygenated blood flowing helping to prevent injuries.

How do you know what he was serious about? You don't know what he may do in the future. They already took 90% from my other design so it's not beyond them or too far fetch that they would use this design. Anyway as you can obviously see that JB and Tinker are running out of designs and need fresh blood. He is the one that said he liked them and they could be the next Jordans.
lol that shoe keeps coming back. It's kinda obvious tinker wasn't serious about them being the 31... if you really want to I mean start up the 31 thread and post them there. I've seen enough of them here though, like I said I personally think they would have been an excellent team shoe and I mean that... I would cop if they were released tomorrow (with some minor changes/refinement of course) as some sort of team shoe "jumpman omega" or what have you. But I'm sorry they simply would never be a sig, not at this point at least with the direction JB is seemingly headed. If they had any shot of being a sig it was back around the time of the 20s/21s/22s... seems like it fits in that era. I like them better than 22s...
Funny how people hate because they have nothing better to do. Not speaking of you persay but some of the guys on here that don't see the potential of what I'm bringing to the table don't get it. It's so much more to these shoes than what anybody on here realizes. Thanks however for your comments and maybe I will make a 31 thread just to see how many trolls I can draw out the closet.

Dude do you realize that when you are out of ideas that you will do anything to stay relevant? I'm not just some guy off the street I have been in correspondence with Nike for years but I never made a prototype to send them. I spoke with Wilson Smith one of the Air Jordan designers and he told me to go to school and for years I was trying to get my degree but I no longer wanted to go due to the cost of classes. Anyway I talked to Tinker and he saw them for himself held them in his hand and said that he liked them and they could be the next Air Jordan. I even see that the toe cap for the 30s is some what similar to mine. So don't think I don't realize what they are capable of. I will protect my design as much as possible but I had to put it out there to get some feedback. So it's a catch 20/20. I will continue to push my shoe I don't care if nobody on here likes it/ It's better than what they have been coming with lately and with the technology I got for these it's blowing everything else out of the water hands down.at some people believing Tinker was being serious to this guy.
They're not gonna use some guys design who just came off the street for an Air Jordan, or any other shoe for that matter. Especially not that design.

Thanks for a real comment without the childhood antics. Yeah the whole shoe will need refinement because it is a hand made shoe not to be sold. People on here act like what they are seeing is the finished product ready to go to shelf and even if so like I said they look better than most of the latest Air Jordans. So why do people need to hate? Yeah the design may be older but it has taken forever just to get to a place where I could meet the guy who I wanted to be like ever since I was younger. They keep taking my designs as this not the first time JB or Nike has done this as I see elements from other shoes I designed that they come out with on the market. I don't get mad I just realize that I must be good enough to actually do this if they are taking design cues from me. I am not here to argue with anybody about if they are taking my designs or not. I'm not here to get people's backing. I already know I will design a pair of Jordans and hopefully become the next designer because I got crazy ideas yet to be placed on paper since my designs keep getting taken. I will wait until I'm on the inside to let loose on the things I got up my sleeve.

I see you have a lot of time on your hand to be a troll. All good. In reality you are correct. I did redesign the Kobe kicks. When he signed to Nike I changed my design and I put the large Jumpman logo on the shoe. And no to the smart fellow who tried to be funny saying that I thought I invented the large Jumpman. No that is not what I'm saying. I said look at the shoe design and then the added element of the large Jumpman. its not a coincidence. Had the large Jumpman been on a shoe that looked nothing like mine then that would be one thing but it's too uncanny.
Now when you look at the shoe I designed you can tell that parts of my shoe was taken to make the 29. if people that claim to like J's so much can't see it but people who really don't care about Air Jordans shoes like that can see then all this is is hate. Not constructive advice. Some people get out of bed just to be annoying. I could careless about what any troll or hater has to say. I know that my design looks just like the 29 and its been online since 2011 enough time for anybody to come across it. Especially when I posted it in other places online as well.
Also I used to send some of my designs to Nike. It's cool keep hating but you could use your photoshop skills to help me come out with the product that you guys want. Stop *****ing and whining about how the Jordans have went far left and help me create the best product. Instead of hating on my design. What can be improved? What would make them better?What are you guys looking for in the next Air Jordans? Performance or looks? I have technology in mind that has yet to be released on any shoe but I'm not discussing it here as I have yet to get them patented. I do however have a patent in the works for a new air module device that fits in the midsole of the shoe for cushioning and performance.
same shoe ^ ^
Whenever you see a design it never is exactly as the finish
product but my drawing looks like it was the rendering before
production runs.
Look at this here there is no way you can't see the similarities. Even down to the flowing lines on the upper. Stop playing acting like you can't see with your own two eyeballs and the brain God gave you.
All they did was take off my shroud. Push the Jumpan towards the back. Lowered the arch at the midsole. And raised it on the forefront of the midsole. Some of you get on here talking like its so drastic of a change that you can't see it. If you are copying something would you leave it exactly the same or change it around? If it's enough of my design left to see where it came from up to 90%.
To say otherwise shows where you are really coming from. I can show this to any other person accept a hypebeast sneaker fiend and they will say yes those shoes do look alike/ I suspect some people would rather have something to complain about and really they don't want JB to come with new heat because then they wouldn't have nothing to whine about. I will be the next Air Jordan designer regardless of what anybody thinks or says. I was destine to do it. When I do I will remember the people who were real and gave me constructive advice and the trolls who don't have a life.
