I finally got it, so these are supposed to be inspired by his bike racing team?

IMO they should stick to solid colors.

 

[sincere]

Man, I'm feeling this shoe and have been since the first pic.

 

[squatchnt]

Ray Allen's PE are crazy in that game!

 

[xxnamebrandxx]

Bottom right.

 

[xxnamebrandxx]

They're probably comfortable though and yes the silhouette is correct.

 

[untouchable jc]

Damn, that pic reminds of the good ole days. Man those Answer 1-3 so cheap

Once again, all it took was a nice colorway to bring out the best in the design of the new sig. Nicely done JB.

 

[sir charles]

So jb took this approach :x

I like the cw but the shroud just kills everything .
It could be such a nice kicks.

All this shroud talk reminds me of when the 16s and 17s first came out.

 

[daddyrabbit251]

I still love this shoe. Props to Russ for rocking the Slauson Boy blues today lol

imma be waiting till they come out with a "se" version or something so they can reload...these are sooooooooo wash.

They didn't do that we'll with the XIX Se tho

1- XVII + XX1 and XX3>>>>> everything else

I wonder if these are the All-Star version? They're actually not THAT bad zipped down. Still wouldn't pay more that $150 for them though. They should have made the 23 either black or blue instead of all white...

I wonder why Ray Allen chose to wear retros instead of the new shoe. I'm also interested to see where they are going past this initial design. These are making the 2012 look good. I wonder if the stealth cover can be altered to a shorter length above the tongue?

this is a old idea when you think about it.

look at da XVI lows.

that upper would fold up if you wanted more of a higher top feel and lace em down and fold em if you wanted em low.

 

[foamhead93]

Wish they kept the grooves on the midsole. It looks better that way IMO
Finally a good look at the traction. These look like they'll grip well
The print is actually pretty cool. Really sets off the shoe.

A crispy pair of those look real nice.

Tinker should have cut the shroud midway, gave the shroud a padded collar, and followed the line of the shoe underneath.
I'm loving the XX8, especially in the blue colorway, but it just looks imcomplete the way the shroud just cuts off at the top.

I'm with Ninja, the Lite/+ version should be a bit better.

I wonder why they changed the zipper on the blue camos.
