Top to bottom - right to left:
Grinch - volt tongue/speckles MC - white swoosh/wolf grey sole
MC/Mambacolor - black translucent/black speckles
MC/Mambacolor - gum/black speckles
MC/Mambacolor - gum/white speckles
All are black tongue/laces/liner (except Grinch), and all MC are...
Definitely disagree. I think the XI looks the least tech/material intensive of the 3.
But, I get it. If one loved the IX this is right in that wheelhouse. I just think it's a step back to the IX, rather than a step forward from the X.
A lot of people did not like the highs this year, but I liked them better than the IX highs - I just wish they had released more/better CW's - I picked up 4 of the 6. And all but the Rose Golds at a nice discount.
Generally, I would say if you are on NT you might have a "problem" - dunno how many truly casual collectors post here with regularity. I have more lows than that, but I only consider it a problem, for anyone, if it affects your other responsibilities - rent, kids, car, credit, etc.
I don't have...
Yeah, even with a clearance code, I think I am good on what they have in stock now. Already have multiple Mambacurials/Drill Sargeants, and I think one Bruce Lee is enough. Not interested in the other 2 highs. Dunno, when I get the Bruce Lee's in hand I may change my mind and decide to get...
Yeah, I wish they were doing that. But I wanted the Coda, so, copped.
I have the 25% code from my Grinch cancellation, but need to save that since it's good on everything.
I'm confused - why buy the Xmas X to sell? Did you get them at a discount? Just curious, not a shoe I would have chosen for reselling or speculating on.
Eh. All a matter of opinion of course, but I don't play ball so on court performance is not a consideration. I love the X's - my favorite since the VI. And I actually liked most of the CW's. Or a lot of them. I got most of the FK versions, but only a few of the EM/Fuse - same as the IX.
Just got my volt tongue/speckles Grinch in. Very pleased with them. Glad I went with the volt tongue (or rather, glad they didn't cancel my Volt tongue like they did my stock pair). Now to paint the Shozoku.
Agree 100%. Nothing about the XI is doing it for me. I considered the Achilles simply because of the Achilles icon on the heel - but in the end I have 2 IX Chinas and 2 IX thrillers, and 2 X Christmas, so I don't need another predominantly red low.
And I continue to be unimpressed with the...
