The Official Jordan XXXI Thread

[mambagrace]

Are you talking about the advertisement on the jerseys? Bcuz that is not a Nike thing, its an NBA thing. Nike doesn't even take over the apparel contract until next year

 

[icomefromdust]

The same year Nike starts it's sponsorship is the same year the ads will appear. You think thats a coincidence. As anal as Nike can be over sharing ad space ur telling me the NBA is solely to blame?

Anyway I'm interested to see how many CW's will end up at outlets. I may get a pair down the line as an outdoor beater shoe while I make highlights on my son.

Follow the money.

This is going to have ****** looking like Nascar Drivers.

 

[icomefromdust]

I want State Farm and a mustache on my CP3 joint.

 

[sneakdisser300]

The ads are gonna be the same size as the USA flag on the Olympic jerseys no NASCAR/Soccer style logos

 

[checkdasneaks]

checkdasneaks they look good on feet. Your in AZ too? Phoenix? Man its HELL outside lol. But back to the shoes I am looking forward to more colorways.

Yea brotha, west Phoenix/Glendale. Hot is an understatement. The 31s are growing on me though if I strike out on the 1s I might pick up a pair.

 

[dru812002]

checkdasneaks yeah man hot is an understatement lol. But I went to Nike Scottsdale today and they said they are not sure if they are getting the Banned 31s because he thinks they are more limited but they are getting the black/red 1's.

I'll have to hit up the HOH at arrowhead. Ever since they opened that location I don't make the trip to Scottsdale too much. Way too far of a drive to always be left empty handed.

These are starting to grow on me.....for on court wear.

If you even follow the NBA, they decided to do this three years ago and went to Adidas to develop a sleeved jersey to make space for more advertisements. Then they went ahead this last year and moved the NBA logo to the back of the jersey to make even more room for ads. This has nothing to do with Nike. The NBA is the one getting money for the advertisements

I think sponsorship would have eventually come no matter what brand had the NBA contract. Just happy to know most likely my Hornets will have that Jumpman.

 

[icomefromdust]

It's just funny how some people wanna argue the point of whether or not Nike is still keeping it 100 or selling out for...Idk it's kinda like arguing if Jeffrey Dahmer liked meat. He damn sure was no vegan. I MO

 

[one and done]

How low do people think the XXX will drop in price?

 

[icomefromdust]

Wake me up at XLII. If/When they mess that one up then I'll know they're full of it. I will stay sleep on the new sig til they drop sum heat. Had a bad experience with the initial cw of the XXX bleeding, liked the XX9 low but the rest have been garbo for the most part and we all now it mostly because MJ wasn't stealing kids dreams of free shoes back then he was giving John Starks 50 in a pair of J's! I know nothing I guess about the NBA but I do know the following as facts. I really enjoyed watching A.I. play pick up games in my HS gym, Ron Curry win McD's dunk competitions, and believe it or not Tyrese started singing at basketball games as a kid on this team called the Celtics.

At any rate, My expectations for these are low for casual wear but so what, buy what you like. We made Jordans popular and some of y'all have made them trendy. Some will make the XXXI look good with the Blake Griffin KIA jersey but I "my friend" will not. Lol.

the swoosh ruins these for me , pass

Tinker has already come out and basically disowned the shoe by saying it wasn't his design/ideas.

...and what about the XV, Tinker?

 

[icomefromdust]

Nobody said he was battling a 1,000%.

Tinker is a douche then. 31>30

The dual logos suck but Id go for these before Id ever consider the 30s.

 

[airtwo3jrdn]

Tinker never disowned them (you are reaching). He was in the spot for them at the launch.

 

[icomefromdust]

Tate designed these not Tinker, that was made pretty clear. Like the XI Tinker claimed design/inspiration rights to it for a reason. It's a classic.

No alligator arms here. (Not reaching)

 

[icomefromdust]

This is a gimmicky shoe with what appears to be some great tech, it was primarily driven by performance.
