I know it's kind of their job to hype, but it just seems like so many people have good things to say about the Shadows. On a related note, I was watching a "review" by Seth Fowler (I know the below "review" isn't him BTW), and he had commented how he wished they made the outsole of the Shadows grey, similar to the way the Blk/Reds and Royals have their outsoles the color of the contrasting color. While it recently dawned on me that that's one of the defining characteristics that differentiate the Shadows from the other two pairs (I always thought they were dope and knew they were different, but had a "duh" moment), the fact that he said he wished it had a grey outsole made me want to be like "dude, do you not realize that the black outsole is how they've always been?!?" Had they been grey, I'd bet money he'd say something about how they're not OG. I'm no historian, but that's just another example of how little a lot of these shoetubers actually know about shoes.

I knew the OGs had black outsoles, but it still makes me wonder why Nike decided to go with the black outsole from the beginning?

 

[casper90403]

what size do you wear?

10.5

Because it looks better and offers a better layer of contrast that a gray outsole wouldn't.

10.5

Ohhh gotcha, thought you were GS size

But what about the royals and blk/reds?...

 

[turbo95eg6]

I should upgrade to an iPhone X. I'm still on the iPhone 6 and is everything was great until I upgraded to the latest iOS. I should not have done that.

I'm still on iOS 10 on my 6 just for this reason lol. About to upgrade to a X tho.

 

[eddiemcnasty]

what was the lowest that sails were going for?

need to grab before they jump...

 

[0takusamsay]

But what about the royals and blk/reds?...

Darker than shadow grey/ Have you seen how light the shade of gray on 85 shadows is? It wouldn't look right if you place them side-profile by side-profile.

I think this was JB's thought process. The Blk/Reds have the bright red sole, the Royals bright blue, but the grey on the Shadows is pretty light in comparison, and wouldn't be that great under a white midsole. Though different from the theme a bit, the black was a good choice, and one of the dopest aspects of the Shadows.

My thoughts exactly. The OG shadows shade if grey is super light lol so they probably opted for a blackoutsole and it really sets the shadows apart from any thing else.

I said Game Royals were a meh colorway before. But after putting them on feet.....SHEESH. These are gonna be one of those "The ones that got away" colorways for lot of people down the line. That blue pops.

 

[KanyIZZY]

I keep saying that. Game Royals are fire.. 2 years from now theyre going to shoot up. I'm glad I copped with relative ease.

I upgraded because of this but I changed the battery for my old 6 and gave it to my mom and it’s smooth.. u can get your battery changed for like 30 bucks at Apple and your phone is back to what it was... I woulda never upgraded to the X had I known..

By the end Of summer they will probably increase in price ($40-50) but yea they won’t sky rocket for a while

 

[kilroythedon]

They won’t skyrocket.. the colorway didn’t hit the way they wanted em too. You can still find em in nyc
