Nah white socks always look better, black socks with dark shoes make it look like you’re wearing some goofy boots

This is the best version so far. These need a swoosh on it imo

There's literally a big swoosh on the heel. 
Where do you mean exactly?

That's what I'm saying. The first two that we've seen which are the blacks and the gold joints did not have a swoosh.There's literally a big swoosh on the heel.

Why LeBron play us? I’m digging the shoe, but the wear test sample looks exactly like these new leaks, minus a Nike check or specific colorway. He played us like we were getting something drastically different, on his IG 
. I’m in for at least 3 pairs, but nothing crazy on the colorway side. I feel like an all black pair, all purple pair, or gold pair, will do the trick. I’d like to see a mainly white colorway with a black outsole - I think that color way could do numbers.

Looks like it.

With the way the crown base sets everything up, I think this shoe could have been absolutely legendary in a mid form.

Definitely not feeling these especially with a drop in midsole.

That's gen z making youtube comparison videos trying to sound like they know what the hell they're talking about. My playing days were in the late 90s and 2000s and there were some absolute tanks for hooping shoes back then. Nobody was griping over the weight difference of this vs that.

Weight differences look huge on paper until you see we’re talking about ounces. When you actually feel the difference it’s not much. As far a tech, said it before, Nike has been using the same stuff since 95’. Midsole foams have switched but they’re still moving the same couch

That's what I hate. In these videos they'll be like "the gt cut 1 weighed in at 12 ounces and the lebron 21 came in at a beefy 13.4 ounces". Like are you f-wording with me? They'll swear they notice the difference too. The weight of a bag of potato chips is keeping them out of the league and in the YMCA

Weight of a shoe is noticeable but not a deal breaker… I don’t really mind the AE’s for example.
What does get me is the extra height of the shoe because of max cushion setups… I used to swear by it, but ever since I got back into running just give me a decent foam and I’m good.

Gold joints have a swoosh on the outside toe box. Kinda like the OG blue Foamposites.
Based on the catalog pictures looks like the swoosh placement will vary depending on the colorway. Then again it could all change. Lol!

Stop comparing the 23s with the 20s, comparing these to those abominations is flat out disrespectful to 23s! 
Broke out my Pegasus 35 Shields and they kinda reminded of the 23s though.
