    Do Xs still run tight as ****? I've only had 2 pairs ever(shadows from cdp and wh/red/grey from 05) and they killed my feet. I had to cut the straps from the sides of the tongue.

    If we're talking city series, gonna need those SAC jawns


    I really liked all the retro+ colors from their run in '05, I ended up getting the white/red/grey ones back in 2010 for a decent price

    Agreed, with or without toe cap it's a cop

    A lot, it only ran for 29 episode but it was really good. It followed Ryu and Ken at age 17 and Chun Li is Ken's love interest in this series. When Guile beat both Ryu and Ken up in that first episode it was crazy.

    There's a reason MJ ceased production on the toe cap Steels. They're not as good as clean toe. Money saved if they decide to put the cap on. :sick:

    In all fairness, Mike also thought the black/red Air Jordan 1 was "ugly".

    I don't hate the toe cap to be honest but don't love it either...Kind of indifferent...Just kind of feel like this colorway has be released enough in the same plain toe design, that it would nice to mix it up a little...It is absolutely an odd design feature though...

    I'd buy them like this...Without I'll pass simply because it's been there done that for me...

    Might be on to something here...Jordan Brand has been digging through old PE's over the past couple years...

    This has me thinking though...

    What if that "something very, very similar" is this?

    :sick::sick::sick:

    Tell me that doesn't look hideous on the Shadows...I think it's so much worse here because of the two separate materials used...With the steels it kind of blends in a bit better...On the Shadows it sticks out like a sore thumb...

    Toe caps looks good to me(mainly want that retroed for the blue Jumpman).

    Why do Shadows looks like it's dark brown though?

    The materials aged so it's developed that color over time...

    He said the Chicagos looked like clown shoes. In his defense at the time they did look loud. Fast forward 10yrs and Tinker produces seven near flawless models. Then he comes w that toe cap... thank you MJ for deading that in its tracks.

    I agree. I like it on the Steel X, but hate it on the Shadows. Shadows looks awesome with the clean toe.

    Maybe a toe cap uh? Ya I don't think I feel it on the shadows as much as the steels.
    I had the og steel 10swith the toe cap ending up selling them a while back

    Those things were tanks for me until last year. They still look good but I need to get them reglued.
