I think the difference is that you know the "story" of every sneaker today...not that those stories didn't exist before...

Confused by this statement???
Mike playing basketball during the prime of his career to play professional baseball is one of the seminal moments in sports in the 20th century...
Sounds like a solid story to use as inspiration to me...
Right?

The stories were developed by the athlete, culture or the era. Right now it's not really authentic. It's given to you like microwave food. You aren't going to see Lebron drop 50 in the aways.
Now sneakers have names driving them, before it was mainly colorways. I guess it makes sneakers more identifiable by saying, I want the South Beaches, Gammas, Kilroys when you have a billion colorways coming out. But it also adds to the hype, because with the name people wonder, will they be limited or not.

Have no problem with the kilroy theme how they used all the teams from an old aid and this theme right here. At least these themes play on parts of his career. Unlike thd now over flooding of the toro theme. To each is own but if a shoe has a story I'm def keeping an open mind.

What? Toro theme? It's just another Bulls black/red colorway...

Actually when the raging bull pack debuted it was a theme and one everyone wasn't feeling at first. The black was the (toro bravo) bull and represented his stealth and attitude for the game and the red was supposed to be for the matadors bandana representing his passion for the game. Don't see how raging bull isn't a theme because it's a bulls color way but this is a theme because it's a non bulls cw?

From what I'm seeing I really like these. I've always been a fan of the 9 model and this is a very simple but clean colorway.
