With the jewel logo on the ankle and the Jumpman on the heel and the squashed profile, I don't even consider those Air Jordan Is anymore. I don't knowWHAT they are, I just know I'm not interested in the least. They may as well call them a Nu Retro.
The ONLY Jordan "skate shoe" I would consider NOT to be utter sacrilege would be a fatter-tongued "SB" version of the Air Jordan 1 in someof the more unusual OG colorways, to commemorate (as stated earlier) what real skaters used to push in the '80s. Maybe do the black/grey and reverse...
i pretty much can't wear shoes with forefoot straps anyway. They hurt for some reason--re-learned that when I pulled out my Mita Alphas yesterday. Ouch, ouch, ouch.
My opinion really doesn't matter one way or the other. And I really can't say much more than I already have. Just know that this is a shoe you really need to see--in three dimensions--and hold to appreciate. I'm not saying you all are going to like it. I'm not even suggesting that you all SHOULD...
23thegreatest23: That's your opinion. It's wrong, but it's your opinion. Shape? Yeah, it's similar to other basketball shoes. That's because IT'S A BASKETBALL SHOE. Shapes and silhouettes are limited, yes? I can't wait to see your opinion flip like Murray as soon as you get a chance to hold the...
Jerry Krause gets WAY too much blame for dismantling the Bulls and nowhere near enough credit for assembling them.
And that said, who's to say they weren't done as a group anyway? Pippen's constant harping about his contract wore on everyone, Jordan seemed like he was definitely ready to walk...
Tinker (and many others connected to Air Jordans on the design/marketing side) have ALWAYS said that they don't want people to like whatever the newest Air Jordan is right off the bat. If too many people like it right away, they feel like the design wasn't as advanced as it should be.
Judging...
Weuh, I mean THEYweren't allowed to take pictures, or even have cameras.

Those were one of the first ACG boots, as far as I know. The grey/pink/blue that just released was an OG color, and the $170 price tag probably isn't that far off from OG territory, either. Pretty sure the originals were Gore-Tex, and meant for serious mountaineering action. (Well, not Everest...
The trainers aren't half bad, although that's enough considering the other two are ALL bad. Nike's really been sticking it to the Vandals lately.
Would it be that hard to lay off on the stupid packs for a while and release something historic and cool like the black and grey Bos with the 34 on...
