Air Jordan XX8 aka 2013, new "Proplate Zoom" Technology OFFICIAL THREAD.

[andrewmttran1]

i believe that the plan WAS to release multiple CWs at All Star weekend and that the Black Stealths ("jokers") were pulled due to complaints about the offensive wording on the outside.

Though plausible, I personally don't buy into this speculation because all the camos except the thunder camos have the same script.

To anyone who has been to the Nike Employee store recently...
What colorways do they have of the XX8?

None.

ES got stripped, and not just the shoes, with the wave of releases 1.5+ weeks ago.

What did it say?

What did it say?

Yes, the script is only on the camo/thermals, and yes it's in English. The pattern warps the letters, drowns them out in darkness, takes them in and out of focus and so on. Also, as the letters wrap around the back they go backwards after the seam.

It's the Jordan quote Tinker cited as a design inspiration, 'Stealth is like black cat. You never hear it coming, but it's deadly as hell. You don't **** with the stealth. My game is like that, when you see it, it's too ******g late!'

Yes, complete with asterisks

Props to Odysseus who originally posted it.

So none of the colorways of the "S.E.'s" are comming out until next year?

while they do have same script, appears easy to read on that CW

speculation ?

why haven't they been re-released ?

Haha true, I'm pretty sure the intent was for a "Do The Right Thing" theme similar to the Son of Mar's low thats coming out

Wow.  Not very appealing.  And this is coming from someone who has all the colorways that have released with the exception of the last 3.  Major fail color wise.  

 

[eltouha]

nothing "right" about those.

let's see if they fly off shelves.

 

[mikejeffjo]

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse 

Why cant they just do this 

 

[odysseus]

What in the...

This is what's going to happen

Me: Hey, there's new XX8s coming out next week

Bro: Cool, what do they look like?

Me: Wellll... there's white with this fractal blue line pattern, blue speckled yellow and yellow specked blue, black carbon with red logos and laces and a green bootie.

Bro: Uh, ok. I might be be down for this white and blue one, seeing pics of the rest might help but I doubt it.

Me: No, you don't understand, there's only one colorway. That's all on the same shoe.

Bro:.........

*hangs up phone*

i know this comment is going to open the flood gates and everyone is going to do a complete 180

but you do know that the white on the zip up part are words right?

the fractal blue line pattern is the background and the white says something that i cant make out

 

[xjsmoove23]

they're ok just want some regular color ways at this point
