mmm i respect your reasoning, nicely put. idk i just find it that with the white side panel, it makes the orange look brighter as an illusion to the brain, thus making it kind of out of place with the black canvas. like it doesn't flow well as a color combo to me. i feel like if it were fully black with the orange hits (just like you said, another form of breds), the orange will appear to be more edgy and dark which would kind of look flames with that buttery leather. and plus, lately, there has been too many 3-way color blocking 1's the frags, barons, chicagos in may, and now these... hell i ever think the b&w's come close because i hate how the color layout came for that shoe. im in need for that edgy shadow or bred jordan 1 shoe but something new....
