Just give us powder blues.
Why? Men's sizes never released with the toe cap. I only had the toe cap version cause I wore a size 7 in 94.they should release um with the leather toe cap though

Those were the pre-release pairs, and he put a stop to that. Some did make it to market, but the vast majority of men's sizes never had the toe cap, and subsequent colorways didn't get that treatment at all.Why? Men's sizes never released with the toe cap.

Eh.....that's incorrect. Even MJ wore them with the toe cap in the charity game held in Chicago stadium when he was still in his first retirement.
And there are plenty of og steel grey around with the toe cap.
JB would never get rid of it unless they were stupid.Was just about to post this lol but glad they kept the nba stats and stuff
Same thing I was thinking when people said there were rumors of these having something do to with him in Laney HSYea I don't see how they could fill that up with high school stuff anyway
The yellow Jumpman was only on the '05 samples and was NEVER going to be on these as was stated about 500 times in this thread, but NT's reading comprehension skills are, well, ya know...Didn't someone say the jumpman was going to be yellow...not that it matters

I don't disagree with any of that except that it wasn't the full production run. There were OG Steels that did not have the cap. But all of the GS Steels did have the cap.Those were the pre-release pairs, and he put a stop to that.

Wrong...What Firepower said is correct...The original Steel Grey X's only ever had the toe cap...Never had a plain toe for the original's...
Have to keep in mind that MJ never had any input on the design of the X's...Mike's retirement, combined with the abysmal sales figures for the initial "retro" run all indicated that the "Jordan" label was no longer going to be lucrative for Nike...Tinker was advised to let the line die and move on to other things...He designed the X simply as a tribute shoe...
Remember the original Steel Gray X's started hitting stores in November 94', a full 4 months before MJ even started playing Basketball again, and who knows how long before MJ started letting everybody know that he was coming back...The production run of the Steel Gray's were already finished and shipped to retailers by that point...They were able to stop the production run for the Shadow X's, which were the second color way to be released, and the toe cap was subsequently removed on this and all future color ways...

Yeah, it was that cam dude who has been wrong about 100 times on various restocks and releases, including that there are 2 XI models coming at Christmas, one of them being a Laney pair. None of the Laney predictions he made have come true.The yellow Jumpman was only on the '05 samples and was NEVER going to be on these as was stated about 500 times in this thread, but NT's reading comprehension skills are, well, ya know...
I think it's because someone on this board kept saying it was going to be yellow, to go with the Laney V's and XI's
