Dudes acting like he took their pair and cut it up lol... 
Guys gotta understand if a shoe is coming out of Sportswear as a retro (including the Zoom Rookie) they aren't regarded as performance kicks so tech will be gutted as compared to original releases.

This does not include the Penny V which will be regarded as a performance shoe. I think if they had to do the Zoom Rookie over they'd improve the Zoom set up.

Thinking the same thing as I viewed pics. My OG Royals need a sole transplant.

Zoom rookies need double stack full length....they're terrible, ESPECIALLY in the forefoot area 

they sell "full length" zoom air insoles on ebay for $20. One of my best investments as far as shoes are concerned.

yea i have two sets of those zoom insoles already but then i'd have to buy my shoes almost a whole size bigger to fit them underneath an insole since they're too slippery to wear solely as an insole.
I bought the GITD's and would've needed to buy a 13.5 in them to be able to put a zoom insole in those. I just can't buy newly released shoes anticipating that i'll need to add my own cushioning to them

As heartbreaking as this is... this is a PERFECT "LOL WUT" pic.

Anyone up for the job (pause)?

Rock, what's your stance on them gutting the retro product yet charging more than the OGs?

 

[transam1079]

I understand both sides but personally I would never do this to a brand new pair.

 

[heatking]

do more of these threads! it is actually interesting to see the shoe dissected like this.

even if your trolling people its still cool to see these and the concords dissected

 

[koolchris1995]

Don't really mind. Never had much love for the electrolime.

I'd prefer him to ship them to me if he doesn't want them lol. But nahh it's good to see what we are really paying for.

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

can't front that hurt to watch

 

[sdot73]

was i the only one who thought the double stacked zoom was originally full length? on the newer releases i expected there to at least be in the heel AND forefoot

 

[chichoi]

thanks for sharing

 

[hypebeast69]

Ugly. wouldn't cop for 99.99.

Im the wrong person to ask Vood... Ive always been a businessman. If there are going to be people to buy the same product  gutted knowing its not a performance product then I will sell that bish til I cant sell anymore.
Thats just good business.  Now if I sold that product as a performance item and gutted it knowing folks will use it for serious play thats just wrong... but Nike Basketball is chief operator for that.  Sportswear just dabbles.. hence the Penny V

The sneaker dude in me would just say its messed up....but I always look at it from a business standpoint because I know people have the option NOT to buy it.

Moar please.

I feel you Rock and thanks for the reply. I'm not in the industry so I tend to favour your view of the 'sneaker dude' whereby it's flat out wrong to be stripping away at at a shoe so much that it only represents its OG by name only. 

  

 

[anticop23]

definitely should do this more often! thanks! 

 

[shadtothecity]

Pretty sure Nike stopped using real carbon fiber awhile ago to save money...

They use TPU shank plates now...

 

[rhapsodicboom]

How did that end up cracking ? :/

 

[rhapsodicboom]

I dont think thats real carbon fibre nike is using otherwise it wouldnt flex that way with the amount of force shown by his hands. As long as the shoes are selling nike can put whatever price they want even if it dosnt justify the product.
