Pic is cropped ,but has no filter & is taking on my back porch, semi cloudy in the 412. How they appear in pic above is how they appeared to my naked eye. Now in bright sun or a cam flash the color looks drastically different, & will almost have a low key glow..

Overall Im happy with this release , definitely took them long enough to run them back.


Pic below is in direct sunlight ,no filter ,no flash.....

Spoiler: Glow

Kinda wild how they almost look like a completely different colorway in certain lights..

No reason to dis like anyone just because of a difference of opinion.

I dont like anyone who doesnt think the slight yellowing on the tabs and midsole on the Reimagined WC3’s dont look better than then the all white on the OG’s.

Respectfully.













Edit: I think I said that right but it doesnt look right. Reimagined > OG is what im tryna say.

Would the 2010 pair of powder 9's match the dudes shorts better, closer, exact compared to 2024.

Not sure if this was posted but, the only time we’ve seen Mike rock these on the court was against Sheryl Swoops.

 

[buddhashark]

Mike always dresses so well. Can’t believe he’d wear such a non-matching fit!

Thanks for clearing that up…if you’re talking about the OG pair. Not any of the Retros.

You were being sarcastic weren’t you? I don’t wanna be involved in this days long shade war.

No I wasn’t. I said a few days ago the 94 powders were a made up shade, and they never matched any of the UNC jerseys

lol people in here still trying to convince themselves that the powder blue 9’s match Carolina blue uniforms , let me say that again POWDER BLUE! POWDER BLUE.. they don’t match .. but who gives a ****… it’s same **** with some of bred colorways .. the red didn’t always match the red to perfection.. you guys can’t be this damn slow

 

[headdetective]

You been goin at cats lately bro

 

[Magic33]

My biggest gripe with this colorway has always been why wouldn’t they use the actual Carolina blue smh

Carolina blue has changed over the years

 

[JRepp23]

I don't think powders were ever meant to look exactly like Carolina blue. To me they took the color and added a vibrant twist, in comparison to the infrared on the 6 maybe. 90s vibe. The 2010 shade is near identical to unc color.

 

[jshortt]

I think there's a lot of overthinking going on in here haha. At one point, that Dark Powder shade was accurate to UNC's uniforms. Like a few folks keep pointing out, the "official" Carolina Blue color changed multiple times before they landed on the one they've been using for the last couple of decades.
