I had your second pair on my cart for a while. I’m a big Giants fan so I should’ve made it.😖

Hopefully the Shattered Backboards are attainable.
 
Here is Nike problem. Once they see something is a "hot seller" the ***** it out. This is the 4th or 5th different version on a classic in less than 2 years.

Linen
Linen linen
Linen with white vamp/quarter
SB linen/Linen SB or linen suede or suede linen (lol)

That tweet with the "sb x af1" is a mockup, no need to get your BVDs in a bunch just yet

😂😂😂😂😂😂. You the defen...you know what. You got it. Opinions get people in their feelings. I'm just gonna keep my to myself. You got it, you right. BTW, there Polos.
 
It's not an opinion. The colorway and style code is confirmed, but the color blocking shown in that photo is 100% a mockup. Light orewood brown and pink foam are also not the "linen" colors.


"Design specifics—including materials, panel layout, and color blocking—remain unknown for now."

I'm also thinking AI or an idiot "wrote" this because "The collaboration is expected to deliver a skate-ready take on the classic basketball and lifestyle model—one that could follow Nike SB’s successful reworks of the Air Jordan 4 and Janoski." The writing suggests Nike SB "reworked" the Janoski, despite the fact the Janoski has been an inline SB product since its release 15+ years ago
 
I get both points. And honestly Chexx Chexx I initially had the same reaction like 'damn y'all really stepping on the linens with all these linen derivatives/ variants,' but we know that's how nike been doing **** for a long time now so no real surprise.

I also get your point vinnuendo vinnuendo , it's just a mockup and although it resembles the linen it technically isn't the same colorway even if the mock up makes them look very similar. We have to hold our opinions until we see a finished product.


I don't think linen SB is needed for what it's worth. It's already a good color way on a good shoe. We don't need 1000 variations of that colorway to make it hot. If anything over doing the colorway takes away from the uniqueness it once had.

It's gonna be really hard to pass on some of these grails to the next generation if nike doesn't pay them the proper respect they deserve.

I'm all for retroing some of these classics that are otherwise impossible to get (like the Wu Tangs) but that doesn't mean we want 15 variations of that. If they drop 15 more Wu Tang inspired pairs with insignias etc it will take away some of that specialness that is associated with the OG pair.
 
Wonder Woman 2s makes sense to me.

Can't do see through shoes but I think it's a cool concept
I forgot about the movie but you're right these do make sense when you take that into consideration.

I'm more surprised they changed the color blocking. I can't decide which one is better.
