I just need to see this white/black-red gold pair. Has a chance to be the best one. Hope they didn’t screw it up. Need OG diamond turf colorblocking.

Welp. See ya on the 39 thread

 

[lawdog1]

I like the CNYs. That primary color is cool to me.

 

[ceo insane]

They’ll have to try hard to make a colorway worse than this.

Those or burgundy mint ice ?

I guess it might be time for Jordan brand to outsource their manufacturing somewhere else.

I’d still say the other one is a little worse, but looks like we’re heading to another sig with just unreal bad colorways. I just don’t get it, bring back the 5 colorway days at this point. This was an easy shoe to get right and they just can’t do it.

Just reminds me of the Air Jordan VI black infrared sample that MJ wore in the photo shoot.

The damn tongue was in the middle of his shin.

That's how I want the retro VIs to be! The short tongue isn't cutting it.

I don’t blame manufacturing as much as I blame design on this one. To think glueing down a thin piece of rubber to essentially plastic in a spot where you have a carve out for what exactly would be sufficient? To show the Cushlon they sacrificed durability? Lol it just doesn’t make any sense. They could have had a PERFECT hoops shoe on the heels of the 37 debacle, not just from a performance stand point but from pure aesthetics as well… unreal.

That’s the G&Ts talking but my point still stands

I understand that the implementation or thing behind that has nothing to do with manufacturing. I even cited the Curry reference. On the otherhand, the glue portion and fraying are manufacturing concerns since they are quality related issues. Not sure if JB is taking this seriously and would atleast make up for it by releasing an SE version. Also, while there seems to be a significant number of people that have shoe issues, is the margin big enough for JB to take notice like what they did to resolve the issue on the 28s? Or they would just ignore it like they haven't done anything with the 31s?

The more I see that pair the more I’m tempted to cop and destroy for 60 days then send them back

I rarely send shoes back but it happens.

 

[Mister Meaner]

I like both of these colorways just posted.

 

[SR-71]

the blue on this pic looks 1000X better than on previous pictures 2 pages back.
So not as bad as initially expected in the end.

Would have preferred without the red piping near the lace holes, but I'll pass anyway.

 

[dmoney23444]

They do look better in hand. Move em to a 2/10 instead of 1.

you sound like that guy Buckets on youtube

 

[jaynev]

I mean they’re fine but they’re interesting/somewhat off colors for a on court hoop shoe

Like, 50% discount and I wouldn’t care if it was either color

Please know that my opinions should be qualified with the facts that: (1) I am old; (2) I am washed and (3) I’ve never been a good dresser. So how Jordans might look with outfits is a complete non-factor in my assessment of them.

You’re not alone. I like to think I’m not that old.
