I expect a gaudy elephant print sock as a pack-in. They're just that predictable now.
The flimsy "storyline" about MJ letting you see something, but not everything, is stretched further than the skin on Joan Rivers' face.
"Michael Jordan lulled players in and defied their expectations... so we put a cheap plastic window on the side of the shoe so they'll stand out on
cluttered shelves unlike the 50 megaton bomb that was the 2009."
I used to love Air Jordans so much when I was a kid. It's depressing to see the line unravel like this.
I agree with most of that. There was definitely a lot of thought, engineering and advancements in the actual functionality of the shoe. I'mactually very curious to try on a pair just to see how they feel. The independent toe box reinforcement sounds crazy (in a good way). However, the actualoverall design leaves a lot to be desired. I understand that an Air Jordan is a basketball shoe first and foremost (a concept that seems to be lost upon manyJordanheads), but that's been true for ALL AJs, yet most of them (the earlier ones, anyway) were able to display a timeless design while retainingperformance, so why couldn't these?Originally Posted by nkwu11
I can appreciate all the work into the shoe and like a lot of what they did (or the ideas). As I said before, I think the colourways will make it look a lot better (EDIT: Like that Anniversary all whtie joint, I can mess with that). But there's no way in hell I can appreciate that stupid window. The story behind it, like the story behind so many features that have been put in different shoes or other products is great.Originally Posted by Philosophre
Thanks for the link. If you choose the "Transparency" link, it almost explains why the window is there. Still hoping for some sort of shoe sock. Or no more purple socks for me.

They should take some of the innovation and put it into retros. (not like the True Flights)
