    To this day, I see no Barkley shoe resemblance.

    It should be called the "Darwin 2K7", because it just looks like an evolution shoe to me.

    i don't even think of basketball when i think of or see darwin's. i still got the tape roaming around my house somewhere. as for the barkin's...isee no barkley resemblance, but the darwin is definitely represented well.

    You guys need to see the bottom for the barkley influence. Plus the toe.

    They should do a fusion/collab of every major sig shoe from the 90s.

    I dont see what some of you are talking about, those are pretty damn hot!





    I think doing a series of collabs would be better. If they did too many it be a cluttered mess.

    The Problem is obvious.

    DNA from the past does not have an attachment to today's youth AT ALL. How can todays kids relate to what folks in the late 80's andearly 90's purchased and the Players who wore them? The Sharkleys are actually a nice attempt at a Fusion. The comfort is beautiful and some of thecolorways are nice. MJ was pretty ticked about the Black/Red and White/Black colorway produced and asked it not be produced. The folks over in Jordanaren't to happy about that Black/Red release happening.

    However, the reigns should be released on the young guys who were brought in to make a difference and let them just unleash new and freshProduct for the Performance and Transcendant Sport culture wearing Youth of today. Maybe a new regime will let that happen or Sport Culture and new Categorieswill hold the attention of todays Consumer for years to come.

    Lets just say Candace Parker will do it for the women no matter what they design for her. There is great excitement about her coming to theSwoosh.
