why don't you guys like the slide out box, besides being more difficult to get the shoes out?

because we’re not kids
Prefer just lift or flip a lid and pull a shoe out
Like how it’s been for last 50 years or so

2016 '95 PE's are my first and only pair of 11's right now and I thought the slide out box was nice. But I can see how it'd get annoying and gimmicky as time goes on. Plus the original '95/'96 box is better anyway both aesthetically and practically.

Though technically the majority will keep them DS in the box in the closet and never have a need to open them anyway.

I just leave the slide to the side of my closet from my space jams. The most annoying thing is that my soles yellowed I swear everytime I put them on it rains

I like the slide but box..but sometimes I just like to pull my shoes out and look at them for a day or two and then when I put the shoes back in the box I realize that I forgot to put the plastic sheet back also. Annoying

Those boxes are kind of trying too hard to be thematic.

You need more reason than that?
I dont know if you were trying to do this or not but I'm not going to feel bad if that's my only reason. All that pull out **** was annoying af. That's reason enough.. it's not like the box hurt my feelings. And if you need more justification, some of us are older and watching everything get put in its proper box while giving me this complicated bum *** box is annoying.

I would like a retro card. The old 11s cards or even card with the original ad on it. It’s not the original, so I think that’s what makes adding in little trinkets cool. I think they did that best in 1994. I also like the cards they added for the Aqua 8, Flu game 11, and the Hare 1s. Add in some commemorative paper too.

You know what.. I dont even want non OG's in that stupid box. Just put all XI's in the OG X or XII box like they do all IV's and III's. I havent liked that box since 2011 pair

That wasn't quite a slide out box, there was just a plastic overlay on a regular box.

pure garbage and useless

i am neither for nor against the slide out box, just wanted to know reasons why people dislike the slide out box. to be fair i probably don't wear mine as much as some here on NT so maybe it doesn't bug me as much. i have to agree that it does take time to put the shoes back into the box with the tissue paper and plastic cover then the box then the cover of the box if it's space jams.

THAT’S what the soles are supppsed to look like. All of the retros including this new 2018 pair are way too clear and translucent.

fell in love all over again with this picsThe only thing I haven’t seen is the liner on the patent leather to seal the OG look. But I don’t have any complaints looking at these.
