Air Jordan XX8 aka 2013, new "Proplate Zoom" Technology OFFICIAL THREAD.

[trappedintime]

Yeah, that was really odd. I saw them at the store and couldn't believe what I was seeing...thought that they were only dropping two colorways. They have to be a QS. I went ahead and bought a pair after trying them on...very comfortable and light. I can tell these are going be amazing ball shoes. Tucked in for casual wear with shorts doesn't look bad at all either. Will buy the red and blue camos when they drop.

They've said this model will get a TON of colorways. I think people are caught off guard that what we were presented with the black/green and camo makeups aren't the "go-to" colorways in this model. Are these a guarantee for ID though? I have a feeling that this limited run on these may be due to variations of the camo CW's thru ID. The biggest problem JB has had with the Air Jordan the past few years is that interest in it generally plummeted after the shoe released. They had everyone's interest for 5 minutes, and they want the whole hour this time. By making each CW somewhat limited, they could keep the hype and interest going for months, and at the end of it pop the ID option and pretty much deliver any of the CW's we've seen so far and then some. That would be a really great use of everything they have at their disposal from a creative design perspective and giving those designs some spotlight, while maximizing marketing efforts on these in a way we haven't seen in years. Ultimately it could meet what I imagine is still a goal: return the Air Jordan signature model to a high selling part of their line rather than a clearance turd.

I'll admit, I was a little hesitant about this shoe, but feel like it has potential and I'm going to be paying attention to where this goes.

There is a size 14 pair of volts on eastbay, cop and try and find a size trade. Or wear these.

Says they're out of stock or I would have already snagged em.

So Blues, Reds, and Yellows dropping on 3-2?

Might have to go in for the reds...

[Ja's 2¢]

[xjsmoove23]

I'm hoop and workout in em all the way up. Stealth!

 

[eltouha]

eastbay seems to still have a couple of the black volts and quite a few green camos.

 

[hebgbz]

Really wish I could cop these..damb my broke ***. the separate shoe bag thing just seems ridiculous to me as well

 

[kob8]

This shoe makes the XV's look good.... These are ugly.....

Thank you for letting us know your thoughts. Should we assume now that since you don't like the shoe, you won't be reading the thread anymore?

 

[anthracite8s]

To me, these only look half decent unzipped, for casual wear.

But not enough for me to cop.

to me they look hideously tacky like that. too hypebeasty lol. and the shroud is too high to wear zipped looks like u wearing christmas stockings u got off the fireplace

 

[virgobravo]

To anyone that wanted these but missed release
Footlocker and Champs just came up from maintenance, and it seems that both the green camo and the black XX8 are in stock with Full size runs.

NOBODY talking Bout these on court! That's all I care about. Nightwing was great but I like hearing what everyone else says.

 

[1Cn9wL8dg3]

i would grab a pair if i could get em for less than $190. Was FL letn yall use coupon codes on em?

 

[bigj505]

finally saw these in person today. not a bad look at all when folded down. would definitely only ever wear with pants tho. not worth the price tag either.

they are really light weight-wise and arent too loud. the night of the shroud is the real killer. would take them to get them permanent fold

 

[crazy ebw]

I like the shroud zipped all the way up, that way I don' t have to stress over what socks to wear.
