Facts. People are acting like he didn’t wear the black laces as well. Honestly probably more.

 

[s dubl]

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.

JB don’t care bro. They’ve done way more stupid and unnecessary things over the years. This is the same company that has 3 different molds for AJ1’s and 2 or 3 molds for the AJ1 low. The madness will never end.

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.

[jordanhead718212]

Can't believe they didn't go with durabuck, absolute insanity. Wow.

 

[urn0tlike]

 

[WASHED KING]

Give me 2 ashy boys please

 

[pwguy]

These are fake, right? Materials aside, the shape is not good.

 

[OldManJays]

Oof. Was originally in but if they using that ashy suede HARD PASS.

 

[engineer]

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

 

[s dubl]

Yeah…. No. Reflective hits gimmick, cool. Shape not 100% to my liking, cool. Plastic Nike Air on heel, cool. Ashy suede, it’s a no for me, dawg.

 

[hitman243]

turrible

 

[headdetective]

These cats got 10 more years because of shhh like this.

JB has zero awareness or care of what to release.
