Like I said, Fall is expected NORMAL timeline. Thank you! Period.
 
40’s had potential but ended up being a bust imo. No expectations set for the 41. 2 of the colors already sound like they’re not for me haha.
I will always say that it always comes down to the styling of the shoe,.... Most don't see the potential until they see the styling,.... The 40 styling was kept plain to that the color ways would do the work, then add the fusions that enhance the appeal,.... The shoe is a great performance shoe and the only thing that could make the 41 better is a pure styling that tells the brands story from in a completely new siluette!!! That Velvet Brown, which will likely feature black and red, maybe some sail is likely going to be tied to something unique could me Ala Maniere or Travis Scott's Cactus Jack.... That Hyper Pink will likely feature some sail, red and black on this pair could be tied to any number of things as well as players including WNBA players... That white pair is probs going to be the launch pair likely with white, black, red and could feature some other color to it.... With the heat extractor panel that we saw in the last decade of shoes still being apart of the design..... Either way I'm just awaiting the first leak of the official shoe And then I'll know what color way is going into my collection?!?

I guess it makes sense for them to target the younger demographic (of Gen Alpha, etc.) with these releases since they will be the ones primarily playing a season+ of high school basketball in them.
 
Except the colorways of the 40 weren’t great outside of a couple. And the material used on half were questionable. The fusion were kind of cool but are hardly attainable.

List of colorways that you tried to tie to possible collabs aren’t anything given to sell the shoe on their own. Having to tie a shoe to a collab or even to a fusion don’t really help it being its own shoe.
 
I’d bet that white pair is a concord nod.
We can only hope that they do that, but let's be honest the 40 only shared a release color way with the 10, because the story telling in the shoe was all the combined cues taken to.make it work, so we can hope that they at least give us that coloway?!?
 
I’d almost guarantee they build off the 40 minimalistic design and solid materials. Atleast I hope so anyway. Need another sneaker we can wear on and off the court.
I liked that part of the design, because the shoe could be pairs with jeans, sweats and shorts with ease and they were overall comfortable once worn in good

Just for accuracy, the 40 Classic launched on July 12 last year. I’m still hoping the 41 lands around that same time this year.
 
I feel it should have. I find it impressive if they had put a Whole New list of stats from MJ's career on the bottom of the 40. That stood out to me the most on the 10 and it should have been carried on.

But as far as ties, it looks like they stayed with the most simplistic design possible due to how simple the 10's look compared to the other sneakers that were released around 1995.
