Jordan X Dark Shadow- April 2018

[tonytobacco]

I'm upset to learn that players in the 90s swaped out zoom air, are you sure of your source?
But today when i watch the zoom air cushion of the 13's and the air sole of the 8's or 6's, yes i want to destroy a good Air jordan 32 to use its zoom air in the retro, trust me!


Strictlystyles love your picture!! sexy

Why would that upset you?

Some of us hate zoom. More power to them for wanting to save their knees.

Its funny you mention the 6 and the 8 but you leave out the one in between that has some of the best cushioning in the entire line up.

Good looks man. Though I wish FNL was running these.
Got a whole lotta wc points I need to get rid of.

Nice 20% going on for the shadow 10 on footlocker. Like I said.....no way anyone should be copping for retail lol. I can see a $130-140ish deal pop up and go even cheaper later on too. Good time to get them now as pairs are probably still fresh (non returns/outlets etc). Eat up people well everyone else sleeps on these!

He swapped out the full length max air in the Air Pippen 1 for a zoom unit. He also had custom zoom cushioning in some of his later sigs.

Interesting read. Even touches on the flu game.

Nice find.. thanks for clearing that up. I remembered it as swapping out the zoom but I guess it was sort of the other way around.

How people could sleep on these is beyond me.

A shoe only a Jordan fan could love.

I said the same thing about the Maroons

I was upset but not for that reason. I understood by ‘’sawp out’’ nba players opened the shoes to change the technology themselves with a cutter, you know.

For the 6 and the 8, the OG technology was the same than the 7. One heel airsole unit and one forefoot.
Of course today the 7 are the best retros for the cushioning.
I played in my Bordeaux yesterday, the full lenght airsole unit is still good after one season but today i have no pain in my heel and my knees.

But i have The 32 and what do you use to play basketball with a airsole unit?

Sorry but i have 2 questions.

So i didn’t understand, at the beginning pippen didn’t like zoom because he Liked being closer the floor with airsole unit but i thought it was the contrary, you were closer the floor with zoom.
And finally during the final he said zoom was good?

Your thoughts were right.. I just had it backwards so it confused you (my bad!). My memory was fuzzy but it was actually full length air max that he didn't like as much as zoom air. So they swapped out his max air unit to give him zoom air (which is what's in the article). Pippen pretty much always liked Zoom air better (even though he played in More Uptempos which had full max air).

I haven’t had any problems getting cashback on Jordan’s
Matter of fact I think all my ebates cashback are from Jordan’s

 

[Letyoufry]

Well my source is Pippen lol. Not sure about other players but he swapped out the Zoom Air of one of his shoes because he liked being closer to the floor.

Ok now i understand the phrase.

Yea it's in their terms and exclusions. But I've always received CB from them on Jordans.

 

[necro892003]

[Naruto]

Are these softer in the cushion than the space jam 11s

Space Jams are more comfortable IMO.

Good lookin! Went ahead and copped em off Foot Locker and will return my Eastbay pair when they arrive, barring the Eastbay pair being a better pair than the Foot Locker pair. I didn't even know about Ebates!
