Your design is literally nothing but a rip off of other designs. As noted before, your first post was literally an adidas Kobe that you slapped a jumpman on. Your other shoe was was basically a god damn replica of the CDP pack Jordan XVIII.
People aren't hating on your designs to hate, they hate on your designs because they lack originality and look like team jordan shoes.
Literally an exact replica of the Kobe II with a Jumpan logo on it.
Like damn near exact replica.

I'm happy with direction they went with the 30s due to the fact that I like the cushioning setup and silhouette of the 29s, but just couldn't get down with any of the colorways. I was so close to getting the dark gray team orange first release, but the large jumpmans going opposite directions through off the smoothness too much for. One them was cut off too. That colorway did look sick along with the colorway Westbrook wore in the All Star game. This shoe being similar with no jumpmans on the side are perfect!

Oh and y'all need to stop hating on my boy Wade he clearly is top 5 shooting guards of all time and before JB gave him some beyond ugly shoe, he did rock the 2011, which is one of the cleanest and best looking Js. As well like I told everyone he would be the first to get a ring (which he carried the team on his own down 2 games) before Melo and LeBron that everyone was sweating. Had LeBron not given up against Dallas, D. Wade would have had another championship and finala MVP.

I haven't read anything on this model, just saw a pic and thought they were pretty decent. But what's the reason for Africa and North America on the tongue?
Edit- Read the launch info, didn't state the significance of the graphic on the tongue.

"Exactly when the Air Jordan XXX design journey began is up for debate. Arguments could be made for February 17, 1963, Michael Jordan’s birthday — or October 24, 1984, the day his Airness signed with Nike. There’s also April 1, 1985, when his first signature shoe hit market and February 6, 1988, the date he soared solo in Chicago as he debuted the Air Jordan III. There’s a litany of moments — game-winning shots, personal triumphs and titles — that form the Jordan legacy. But to dissect the journey is to miss the forest for the trees. The Air Jordan XXX is a unique synthesis of Jordan’s evolution as a player and a design collaborator."
"Each of the shoe’s elements results from a key performance insight or design inspiration fundamental to the player and Jordan Brand’s evolutions. The start of the design process, however, tied to a significant, if lesser-known, date: a bitterly cold weekend in February 2015, when – during a pre-birthday party dinner — Jordan asked long-time design collaborator Tinker Hatfield to spearhead the design of the anniversary-marking shoe. “The next morning I drew a shoe,” Hatfield recalls, “because I knew I was in deep trouble. We had no time. Then I realized it wasn’t good enough to sketch a shoe. I asked for that particular photo of Michael in the slam dunk contest and then I drew.”
"An “XXX”, signifying 30, transformed into a basketball net. Stars symbolized the athlete’s otherworldly talents and planets orbiting the Jordan universe took on surfaces — elephant print or carbon fiber — related to innovations initiated by past Jordan models. Elaborating his drawing, with help of fellow designer Mark Smith, Hatfield broadened the Jordan narrative and formed the story of the Air Jordan XXX, one that references a storied yet timeless lineage with an eye towards the future."
"The approach, Hatfield notes, created a “nice sort of circle. It's all very internal, rather than the external story of being influenced by a car or architecture or music. Those have been good tools, but this one was different. It was just in my head, so to speak.”

"Every time you put on a pair of Air Jordan XXXs, you hold the world between your fingers. Look closely and see MJ’s North Carolina roots marked with a blue dot."
Just an added detail for storytelling, nothing super significant about it
