AJ XXX (30)

I agree that the aesthetics of the 28 and 29 weren't the best, but both shoes are very good performance models. I actually play ball, so they work for me but I wouldn't rock them casually.

Hopefully, the 30 gives us the best of both worlds.
 
Real talk, I'm a peaceful guy and I don't want to hurt anyone or get hurt

I just feel like that statement was idiotic Because I have tendinitis, and I know for a fact it's going to happen no matter what u wear, it's your body, not the shoes

Im totally playing lol

anyway, yeah I was dealing with it for years until I figured it out. I bet if you wear 11s to ball in your knees will feel a whole lot better all of a sudden. Im gonna go out on a limb and say that zoom air ended Penny's career but that's my own little theory. Hell, Jordan himself retired after a year of it. Vince Carter was just fine with Puma...

think about it for a little bit
 
I believe Jordan wore three models of zoom before retirement number two

Zoom is still my personal choice of cushioning after all these years

Not to mention when he came back the 18 and 19 had it as well, with the 19 had double stacked zoom air in the heel. Jordan has said that zoom air saved his back and career as to why he preferred it to air insisting that Scottie Pippin do the same. So I'm not sure about the zoom ending your career statement. Penny I think was just a case of unfortunate anatomy. Dudes body was breaking down faster than he could rebuild it. That's the breaks..

I think the XXX should be a low like the 3 or 4. That would be a nice change of pace for the sig

By today's standards, a  "low" is more like what they're putting Kobe and Durant in.  Pretty sure it will be a high(ish) top.  No for performance reasons but so they can

have the option of releasing a 'low' version as well, or charge a premium for it just because there's a few extra square inches of material around the ankle.
 
^^ they'll charge a premium regardless it's JB lol.

But would like to see a mid or a low that's both performance and aesthetically pleasing, no shrouds zippers or any other off the wall ideas they've been coming up with for yrs now.

yea i know

i hooped in adidas gdls and iversons the bulk of my time in hs

my tendinitis didnt bother me too bad then because i was a feather weight
 
 
Can't wait for people that are gonna google "Jordan XXX"
real talk i didnt realize that until i started typing it in lol

that **** so dated tho, i havent searched for that stuff since middle school

i just go to them sites and get to putin
 
after seeing all that they have done (or haven't done, if u ask me) since the xx3, i see no reason to have any type of high expectations at least as far as design goes. they have all been unpleasing to the eye, aesthetically since xx3. performance may be another story, but looks have resided in the toilet.
Its quite amazing that the Jordan Brand has stayed on top basically retroing shoes from the 90s. Like almost nothing they've released from the 2000s and on original has stuck and yet, it doesn't matter

Only the black red 12s had zoom, the 13s for the final season, 14s for the final game. So a season and a playoffs, youre technically right I guess though. Youll notice the 17s had regular air though. Jordan said F that sh..

That's cool, gloss  over the shoe he came back in and arguably did better in. He didnt do too much in the 18s and after the 19s, with even more zoom said F it, Im done. The story doesnt fit the narrative. He's gonna say what he has to to sell his shoes.

From 2000 on Jordans 15 - 29 the only ones i didnt care for were

22 ( black cw was aiiite)
2009 eh
2010 worst jordan ever
2012 look like team jordans

Thas it lol.
All the rest aint bad imho.

I like the jordan line because of the risks they take design wise.
Always exciting fail or not.

We are adding in the fact that the man was coming back from his second retirement not to mention all the mileage from playoff series and Olympic play.. To do two years after all that I still don't think I'm going to blame it on zoom LOL! But to each his own. It all love
