Black preferred. White isn’t bad, either.
Now if any of y’all tryna get creative and throw in red or any other nonsense, please don’t buy these.

He only wore them with white laces 5 times, it was for the 1st round series vs the Bucks. All of the Bulls players wore white accessories for the series, wristbands/compressions/etc. MJ decided to also do white laces. The next round vs the sixers they did red accessories, but he didn't do red laces. So he wore them with black laces 13 times including the All-Star game.

They are also the same company that has had literally like 6 to 7 different molds for the Air Jordan 4 since 2020. Which they STILL refuse to get the ankle collar height, toe boxes and pull tabs right.

Question:
Do you think NIKE will ever release the OG Durabuck Leather again on any retro model or has Nike just gone Green/Recycle materials?,
Can anyone remember the last time they saw OG Durabuck on any Nike shoe for that matter? just curious.......

OG durabuck was made by a company Nike bought and put out of business 29 years ago. It’s never coming back if I had to guess

Not exactly. United States Shoe Corporation was responsible for the production of Durabuck and finally trademarked it in 1991. Nike was buying materials from them but never bought the company out. Not only in 1998 did US Shoe not renew the trademark because they no longer produced the material, but in 1995 an Italian Eyewear company by the name of Luxottica attempted a hostile takeover of the company (in hopes of acquiring LensCrafters, who US Shoe was a parent company of at the time).
Luxottica would end up buying US Shoe for $1.4B in April that year, and in the month prior, US Shoe would sell its shoe division to fashion retailer Nine West. If there were any documents detailing the process of creating the original Durabuck, I would assume they were either lost in the takeover, they're sitting in some old file cabinet somewhere, or they were tossed out.

I've bought frames from Luxotica before, if I would have known that they were responsible for no more Durabuck on Nikes I wouldn't have.

When will they learn that nobody likes that ashy material? They’ve ruined more than a few otherwise solid releases with it.
