But isn't this shoe the same thing? Look at side by side comparisons of this shoe and the 16.5. Finishline has a pretty good pic up. The patent toe, thepatent back in pretty much the EXACT SAME CUT. The gum sole, the XXesque MIDSOLE. The only thing I see in this shoe that is new is that ridiculous circle and if you look at some of the jumpman shoes from the early 2000's, you might even have to take that awayfrom them because some of those had circles too, they just had a jumpman in them and they weren't as big lol. Bottom line, everything on this shoe we haveseen before. It was pretty much the same with the XIV look-alike 2009's. They keep taking us places that we have been before and they need to take a pageout of Michael Jackson's book and take us somewhere we have never gone lol!
I don't care either way because if the shoe doesnt have a roman numeral next to it, it isn't a true "Air Jordan".

Sorry, but this is pure BS.
Jordan's since the XIX haven't even been comfortable. Maybe I would include the XXI's, but from no ankle support to rubbing of your pinky toe,I'm not sure how you can make that claim. You can get much better kicks for basketball for $80 from Nike. Most Jordan's now they throw on a gimmickto attract attention. I recently tried out my 2009's, same thing, cute gimmick that went over poorly that doesn't help them for basketball.
Jordan's are for style, since the XI, because you don't place a $175 sticker on kicks for basketball. What do you think the boxes or cases are for?
I don't think it's a coincidence that most players with JB wear team Jordan's or even older retros PE's instead

First off, i'm pretty sure it's been covered that JB players can't wear the sig shoes as they please. They are given team shoes topush them more.
The boxes etc are a premium that comes with the Jordan shoe. It's certainly part of the price but the tools implemented in the signature shoe are alwaystop-notch. The XX and XX2 are some of my favorite Jordans to play ball in. The XX1 was stiff to me but still a overall good shoe. I've never played in XX3so I can't judge them personally. The Jordan signature line is still one of the top notch shoes on the market. Saying there are $80 shoes better than theseis just obsurd. Jordan's for style since the XI? Be real. The XII was a PURE performance shoe in its day with the implementation of zoom air. The XIV stillto this day stands as one of the best performing shoes ever made.
Personally, I prefer the ZK series to play ball in these days because I enjoy what they're bringing to the table every year. I still do feel like thesignature line is making strides in the performance area. The 2010 is sounding VERY promising. Until I see otherwise from my own eyes, i'm sticking to myguns on the signature line being the best out.

Compare the performance of Kobe and Lebron's line to Jordan's for performance, it doesn't even come close. You can honestly say the 2K9 was betterthan the Kobe IV or Lebron VI for basketball? And the XII's were not a performance shoe, despite Zoom Air. I have the playoff OG. Anyone who has the OGwill tell you how uncomfortable they are. Notice I said OG, and not retro. The XII's are probably one the most uncomfortable pair of kicks I've owned,and unlike many up here I didn't start getting in to kicks yesterday. Jordan's are for style, because I'd say that about 90% of the ones soldwon't ever even touch a basketball court. Can that be said about the hyperdunk or hyperize? How many people are going to mess up their $180 sneakersplaying basketball?

I hate to say it.... but i'm almost on the verge of changing my mind on this shoe.
The window at the side is still one of the weakest gimmicks JB has ever thrown at us... but that, the translucent outsole with the visible zoom, and the patent(as played out as it is)
somehow seem to work, creating a shoe that (to my eyes) doens't look so bad.
Still wouldn't pay anything near retail for it though.

To some extent i would agree with this. It's a long time since Jordan's have offered a performance level that matches their price... if ever.

Did you even read my post? I said I prefer the ZK line these days for basketball over these. That doesn't change my mind on the fact thatthese are still performance shoes. I don't like LeBron's at ALL. WAY too stiff and heavy. Ever since the II they've been trash.
You seriously just said the XII weren't a performance shoe? Maybe not by today's standards, but when they came out there wasn't much close to themat all. Jordan's have LONG been used for style, yes. That doesn't change the core idea of the shoe being made. The Hyperdunk doesn't have a jumpmanon it. People choose not to wear them for style as much. Jordan is the only shoe that is as casual as it is performance. That's not even a good comparison.
You're really trying to good too hard and aren't even making sense with your argument. I don't see what you're trying to get at?

I'm making perfect sense, you just don't seem to get it. Did you read the post above yours? Again, do you have OG XII's? Because if not you'retrying to argue about the performance of a pair of kicks you don't even have. Zoom Air and all, the XII were some of the most uncomfortable pair of kicksout of the 100 plus I have, and the many I've owned over the years. Jordan's cost more than Lebron's and Kobe's and they don't performbetter. Kevin Durant's are also better for basketball. You would be one of the few who would say over the past six years Jordan's have been better thanLebron's line on the court and for comfort. How exactly does a window increase performance? Patent leather isn't made for style? People constantly makethat excuse about Jordans, because of the crap they release now. They are performance, blah blah. Well how come you can get $80 Nike's that perform better?Jordans stopped being about performance years ago. These might be a little better, but you have everyone from Juwaun Howard and Quentin Richardson to Ray Allenand Michael Finley who don't even wear the latest Jordans. They wear team jordans and and retros. And you think that's not saying something? Yeah, youcan play basketball in them, heck, I can play basketball in some air max 95's, doesn't mean they're top of the line performance kicks. And for $175and $190 you don't think you should have the latest technology and not the latest gimmick?

Word of Warning. There are pretty exact looking fakes going around of this shoe. I mean they Look dead on, even the tag. Buyer Beware. Unless it's fromMarqueeSole, or whatnot, be careful. RealTalk. Hopefully this helps people out.

Yeah, I have had "OG XII"'s and thought they were okay. By TODAY's standards, I don't like them. I'm not talking aboutNOW. I'm talking about when they originally released, they were changing the game as far as performance is concerned. There weren't many shoes whenthey dropped that could stack up for them pound for pound. Seriously, stop reverting back to them. Why are you even talking about them? Now they are morestylish, just like ANY retro shoe. It's brought back for style, not for pure performance.
As I stated earlier, JB players aren't allowed to wear the signature line during games whenever they please. They are encouraged to wear the TeamJordan's because it's how they promote the shoes. The signature Jordan promotes itself. It's always only been worn by the players at All Starweekend for a WHILE now. You think that is just coincidence? No. Do the players like the Team Jordan's more than the Signature Jordan? Maybe. Maybe not.That doesn't have anything to do with the fact of them wearing them during NBA games.
Next. Yes, I do think in the past 7 years that overall the signature Jordan line has been better than the LeBron line. I'm definitely not in the minoritywith that. The Bron III was a very clunky, bulky shoe that a lot of people didn't like. Obviously the IV was one of the heaviest basketball shoes that hasever been put on the mass market for basketball. The V did improve a little but didn't do anything revolutionary as far as the line is concerned. Yousaying you like "x" shoes better than "x" shoe is just an opinion. I'm not basing what i'm saying to you on opinions, i'm justbringing facts. You're trying to argue things that do not make sense, that's all. You may think that the Kevin Durant is better, but that's justyour opinion versus mine, so we could argue about that all day.
The window is supposed to allow more breathability and hug the midfoot better. Do I know yet if it's going to be super functional? No, but I sure as hellthink it's something new and innovative and not just a "gimmick". If you're saying the signature line isn't a gimmick, are you reallygoing to try to argue that LeBron isn't using rehashed gimmicks of older Nike's. Flywire, 360 Bubble, Shrouds, Foamposite, etc.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, because obviously you aren't understanding anything that i'm saying or getting at sir.
