Jordan XI Adapt DEC 30, 2020

[onthenephs]

All angles look good except the most important one of all. Top down the shoe looks terrible, something with the contrasting lace pulls?

What happens if these malfunction and you can’t get your foot out?

Welp there goes that lol

**** like this is why other shoes are near impossible to get nowadays. Why cant people go back to baseball cards or something. I dont even want this shoe but still think its crazy. It screws people out of getting them that do.

I won the $900 pair.

Steal

copped the adapt 2.0 in Oreo for 25% off on cyber Monday....pretty hard to go back to tying shoes after stepping into them....now Jordans with that tech about time nike....unprecedented times call for unprecedented kicks....hands free shoes = no hand Sani needed

I mean, are these REALLY going to be selling for anywhere near thousands of dollars once they actually have released?

If it’s limited quantities and no restocks....yes

Right. But no one knows that yet. Pretty obvious they'll be relatively limited, but crazy to me to drop $2500-plus on them now when it's only a few weeks away from the release. But hey, whatever.

I agree. That’s bogus. But that’s the state of the game at this point. Nike laughing all the way to the bank.

I think on release day these flip for 1k easy

look at those hyper adapt, ugly as hell and they were selling 1k til they started producing more and more months down the line

Wow, they come with sound effects also. My toys from 1988 have serious envy right now. The pull string is behind the tongue.

 

[ALNotSure]

Hahaha dope

 

[art vandelay]

My question, and I actually asked this in the Adapt forum too, for cats that purchased any iteration of this shoe with the adapt technology, does anyone use the shoe for anything (hooping, gym, etc....) besides casual use. I would cop a pair of the Adapt Auto Max, but if they’re not even fit to lift and do gym **** in then I can really understand the purpose.

From the video up top here. The top lace (laceless though ) is going down. How would there be any true ankle support? Does the tightening stop at a certain point? Or do you control that?

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

still in

 

[deezrsackolishus]

feel it will be impossible

and funny thing

wheres all the early release heads?!?
oh wait

when they cant produce fakes of a shoe, the early release crowd is usually really thin

 

[BaltimoreLove]

THESE ARE ACTUALLY KIND OF FIRE...

 

[rainking]

Let's be real for at least a second. And I say this as a child of the 80s/90s, and a HUGE Back to the Future fan ...

This "tech" is stupid in most cases. It's an answer to a question no one actually asked. It LEGIT started as a movie dream, and a movie within one of the greatest pop-culture movie phenomenons of all time. That's why the IDEA is dope, and why anyone even cares or is interested.

But in real life, even in 2020/2021? Nah. I have the first-gen Adapt BBs. They're cool as a gimmick, but once you get over that, they're just annoying. I'm kinda sorry I even bought them, other than the novelty. It's not difficult to tie your own freaking shoes. It's quick and simple. It works, and has worked for 200 years. Having to go to your phone and an app to screw with it is nonsense. And then on top of it, you have to remember to charge your shoes on the pad, update the app ... it's a giant waste of time and energy.
