More hyped for these than the shoesgrapes coming to....hydro slides with every release 10 years back was crazy cool
Shouldn't they have made the outsole clear

They just couldn’t use the same material as the AMM 5 dusk? Not nubuck but they not extra ashy either

These bm5 leaked way earlier than most....hopefully just bootleggers assuming and the final one we get will be better.

I doubt it. Jordan Brand excels at screwing up releases that should be an easy slam dunk.

Yeah not the most informative but he seems genuine. Hopefully he sticks with it, improves and can bring more info in his reviews.
That being said, shape doesn’t look too bad and the toe box looks much better than other pictures. However, I noticed there seems to be a white material over the plastic mesh under the laces. Is that a piece of cardboard? Is that how V’s come now?

It looks like they removed the netting and just left the mesh that always went underneathYeah not the most informative but he seems genuine. Hopefully he sticks with it, improves and can bring more info in his reviews.

That just look like a piece of cardboard, the mesh behind the netting is black.

Still can't believe the materials 
Guess they needed another way to make them "reimagined" so they could release them again in "true OG form" 3 years from now

They used to put a little piece of cardboard between the lacelocks and the tongue to keep the tongue from getting scratched in shipping. Probably something similar, especially if the netting is reflective.

Yeah I think I'm passing on these. Upper material kills it for me. I won't spend of the rest of my time in here crapping on these but it's disappointing they couldn't just use the same material as the last release. Maybe next release we'll get an "improved/true to OG" shape, correct upper, OG 23 on the side and optional white laces for a proper MJ PE release.

This is how bad things got. Who changes the mold and looks at it and says it looks good??
The 2006 is not OG shaped but it is infinitely more sleek and aerodynamic than those special-needs 2013s.
The 2013 is so bad it makes the 2006 look like an OG.
2013 on the left and 2006 on the right.
They even made the ankle pods bigger on the 2013s, which is crazy considering they wasted extra material to add inaccurate details.

The Lava ATC’s are the most solid proof they can get the toe boxes correct. Just base everything off those.

Glad to know that the white under the laces that I saw in pics is just an added extra layer of paper. That being said, I’m still all in on one pair. They probably gonna need a lint roller before stepping out the house but they’re worthy of a cop.
