Why do people hate the AJ 15

[merkurposite]

I've always liked the 15s. But to each his own...they were a love it or hate it design. I just happened to be in the "love it" category.

problem wit da XV's is competition...what sneaker are you copping over these at 150?

can't think of any to keep it funky.

when I saw these years ago on my friend's feet, I was having a hard time
appreciating it and I kinda lied by saying "Wow! you're wearing jordans!"
they were straight UGLY

but looking at these now... they look fine really. not the good but not as
bad as I thought before... I'd put them right there with the jordan 2....

not good, not bad, just ok...

It doesn't look like an ordinary sneaker, simple. I think they're kinda ugly, but I still like them. If that makes sense, haha.

never liked them then, still feel the same today.

In 2036, most sneaks will look like the XV's.

But when a sports shoe draws attention to itself like the XV does, it should have the performance to back it up.
It doesn't.

Additionally, it represents a time when JB was in a sort of transition... They knew that even if MJ DID come back a few years down the line, his best years
probably were behind him, and it's like they were more interested in pushing a fashion shoe first and foremost.

very good point.

They are just straight ugly. I can't even imagine wearing those out
