Forgot I had these

This is one pair, and probably the only pair, that I’ve beat up pretty bad. I wear them to work when I’m sick of my boots.

Young MJ in the return 1.5's ? I never knew he actually wore these or that these were even around back then for him to wear.

Take a good look, they were testing mid soles for the Jordan 2.

Not JUST a different reiteration. It could've had an af1 sole or a vandal sole or a blazer sole but instead had a new sole never seen before and wasn't borrowed or shared with any other shoe except the very next 2nd numbered official Jordan shoe line release. And since he wore em before the 2s came out but after the true aj1 release doesn't it makes even more sense why they're referred to as the 1.5s?
So why hate the 1.5 reference so much?

Ding, ding, ding! 3thaman nailed it. These weren't made for him because of his broken foot. They were prototypes to see if he liked the new setup for the 2's before fully committing to them in case they needed to tweak anything. The 1.5 name didn't come about until they actually released a few years ago.

lol COFs are easily my biggest beaters, bought them for like $80 IIRC and beat them into the ground.. I even wore mine to volunteer to care for (but, mostly, play with) Cheetah cubs at a zoo (back when those were open lol) when we were in South Africa

 

[vinotwofour]

not the first time they did a hybrid sole on a shoe to test the materials before the next model gets revealed. Kobe did this with the hyperdunks before they released the Zoom Kobe 4 where they put the hyperdunk upper with the midsole/soles of the 4's

Haha nice. I remember getting COFs for $100 and beating them up, wore em to concerts, in the rain, etc. They held up really well even though they have clear soles, cleaned em up and sold em for like $120 a while ago lol

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

Then that was a horrible picture of them

That's awesome. They are a good pair for beaters. The leather isn't soft and plush and works well for this reason. The only downside is how ugly that translucent sole will get. Strangely enough, I enjoy the memories of when I wore a certain shoe. Even if its nothing special as I don't get to wear mine all that often.

Agree with all of this. The leather is so stiff, they’re kinda like boots lol
