CONTRAST STITCHING IS KILLING THESE.

SO FAR ONLY OLIVES AND COOL GREYS.

WILL SEE WHAT KILROYS LOOK LIKE BUT I'M ALMOST POSITIVE THEY WILL BE A PASS.

 

[raposo927]

No thanks.

 

[joulze]

These will be copped for sure by me I love Orlando Magic colorway shoes!

 

[jacksodk]

Just waiting on the Olives. haven't had those since my 94-95 high school years. I just need to replace some of my sentimental values J's and I will be done with collecting. Too expensive, materials are cheap (I normally don't complain but to pay 160-180 for shoes when I was paying $100-125 just a few years ago) and too many weird designs and colorways.

Disagree. To each their own. Easy passin' With colored stitching or not, these are lame.

 

[dahero1017]

I had hope in these. Can't complain more money in my pocket. The contrast stitching kills it for me

 

[dimelo]

That stitching makes no sense smh

fixed

 

[Magic33]

If they didn't have the reverse stitching they would be ok, but JB hardly ever does the obvious

 

[reener]

color the stitching black with a sharpie then maybe

 

[SteveSteve72]

Yeah I don't like the stitching.

 

[rhsu888]

pass.

 

[ijapino]

I was really hoping for these or something similar:

Latrell Sprewell

Mitch Richmond

The contrast stitching should have been left out. In fact, I can't remember a shoe that looked better with contrast stitching. Either way, I still like the shoe. It's a nice BASIC colorway.

Look horrible.

PASS

Spacejam inspired? Wait, whut?

. If I remember the timeline correctly, the Johnny Kilroy commercial came out in 1994. Spacejam came out in 1996. I don't see the correlation in that. As for the shoe itself, shouldn't JB know that contrast/color stitching DOESN'T look good in any form. These will sit, unless people start calling them spacejam 9's

. Which I think is completely absurd. Smh...

Can't see the pics that ijapno posted with the Spree and Rock 9's, but I remember those, and yes, those would have been better to release rather than more of this gimmick BS.

Jordan Brand practically stole my colorway! I made this colorway in 2007

 

[MJG1026]

Joints are wack

 

[flaco425]

I think they look good. Kinda confused at why everyone is bashing them. I think they'd look very dull without the contrast stitching. Anyways they less people that like them I guess means a better chance for me to actually get a pair at retail.

This. I don't understand why JB does this to their shoes. Leave the contrast stitching to vans & chuck taylors. I've hated contrast stitching on jordans since day one.
