For me -- it's been an ill-fated concept since the V.5. It puts the designer at a ridiculous handicap to fuse two CLASSICS like the V and VI and tryand make a shoe better. It's an impossible task. Then again -- I was hoopin last night with a guy wearingwhite/ice green 10/7's...so what do I know...cause there is a market for them.

Yeah, I've honestly stopped caring. People can buy whatever the hell they apparently want. As long as that bottom-feeder stuff is funding better Air Jordanmodels and Larry Jordan hoodies, I'm straight.

They should really do a Tinker Hatfield "Alternate History of the Air Jordan Line" though....

Actually, they are going to do this with the 15SE releasing next year. This shoe is based off of one of Tinker's early concept designs of the AJ 15.Maybe this trend will continue and they will release other concept sneakers.

No it's not. The XV SE is just a remake of the XV's, it's not "based off of one of Tinker's early concept designs".

I think Octavio from JB designed the SE's.
 
dayum.... the XIV's are one of my favorite J's... woulda preferred a 13.5 over this.
 
Funny thing is people like these based on drawing and couldn't make up their minds on XX3 based on picture scan. Coming back on subject these lookpromising, even though I'm not the biggest XV fan out there.

They look good imo....but I really want to see some 4.5's

. I thinkthose would look hot, but I bet JB would ##!% that up.
 
I'm sorry but JB is killin' all that was what made Jordan shoes...Jordan shoes. They'll probably have a neon green and black colorway, jeez.......

Correctimundo my friend. Oc did the XV SE.... the intent was to Improve on the OG XV.
