get fit.

When has Jordan ever cared about anything else but his pockets?
 
this is way too expensive for my life. will wait for outlet prices to cop.
not a priority for me.. reviews on these are unbelievably stellar though..
 
For those wondering about the performance aspect, check out Nightwing2303's performance review...

 It's because your use to seeing kicks made in the dame 80's/90's, these are 21st century kicks.

i agree, gotta look at them in the same perspective
 
great review. seriously considering buying now, but i dont know if i want the deluxe. anybody know when the white/black pair comes out?
 
After watching that video, I'm actually sold on them but there's no way i'm paying retail when I know these will just be at the outlets...
 
Jump Town event is today. Excited to see what info comes out on these.

What hasn't happened since the 21s???

if you think about it cost-wise, it's only $43 more to have all three flight systems. looking at the cost of the shoe, $180 and $223 is expensive anyway. you may as well buy the sneaker that has all 3 systems instead of short-changing yourself for a savings of $43. or another way to look at is you'll risk your life getting some XI's for $5 less when you can easily walk into your store and get these for just a tad bit more than the XI's. i think the $223 is worth it.

those wolf grey's have grown on me A LOT. nike scottsdale won't confirm if they'll have these in their store. on the 10th, we can use our discount if they get them.
 
Yeah, there are already a couple examples on nikeid's site but they are listed as "currently unavailable" when you click on them.
 
For those of you that like this shoe here's a couple colorways y'all might like. IMO not even these colorways can save this shoe though.

Let me say this...

At first glance I thought the 2012's were rather unattractive but had JB led the launch with THIS colorway I think people would be singing a different tune. (I realize they're IDs)

I'm sure there's something to be said for it being its own shoe and JB not wanting to have to start off with a classic colorway from an older model just to drum up attention but first impression is everything.

This c/w would have gotten attention in a good way.

That $223 price tag is tough to get around no matter how you slice it, though.
