Unfortunately, it's a pretty safe bet to say that the red 11's will be bundled in some type of pack.

Not sure if this has been discussed yet, but does anyone know if the soles of this shoe will yellow over time?  

I haven't bought 11's in a long time, and wasn't sure if the recent released 11's still had the yellow soles.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

any clear sole on a shoe is going to yellow over time. However, the conditions you subject the shoes to will greatly affect this process. I've seen shoes from '06 with barely visible yellowing. On the other hand, I've seen some shoes from the 2010s with piss yellow soles. It really just depends

Thanks Greg for the quick response. much appreciated!

the original space jams i got yellowed quickly, even though i took care of them and only wore it a handful of times.

Whereas, the Jordan 2011 Blackout's hasn't yellowed yet, even under heavy usage and not taking care of it.

2 Different shoes i know, But, i was just wondering if anyone knew of the material of these clear soles, or from recent experience with 11's with clear soles if we'd expect these 72-10 soles to yellow?

Just try and keep them as dry as possible and you'll be alright. I think the moisture makes them yellow a lot faster.

Some days I like these others I dont.... Something on the shoe isn't doing it for me. Game time decision.

 

[Reminisce96]

The tumbled leather throws the whole shoe off, doesnt help with the same color sole/midsole. Kind of like playoff 12s in 11 form.

I can't wait!

Except Playoff 12s are f***king dope. Mid tuxedos XIs would look more Playoff 12ish than these. I love both XIs and XIIs, but these are... I don't know what to think of these. I totally agree with your opinions on what throws these off. Not liking what I see so far. And full on hating it for a 72-10 inspired shoe and a 220 price tag.

I'm just worried about the sole after time.

Is this what we're calling them now? I'm guessing you guys finally see the bow tie like design on the retros? I remember when I first told people there were 7s all over the Air Jordan VII and they thought I was crazier than I actually am. Now all of a sudden it's common knowledge, when years back I was "reaching". My theory with Tinker's designs is, if it looks like what you think it is, it's probably that. Dude's a mad genius.

I'm going to try to get these. Some pics they look amazing, other pics they look so-so, but everytime I pass on a Holiday XI I regret it. Even with the gammas and I never thought those would grow on me. I just hope it's like last year, and not like the year before.

EDIT: and to go even further into "what the hell is he talking about"  territory. There's a cat on the Air Jordan XIII. Not a panther, a regular a*s black cat. Some of you guys have seen these things years ago, other's won't even check and just right me off as a nut job, and very few will take second look and go "oh, never thought of it that way".

I just meant that IMO,

   in a mid would look more like    than 

   look like . 

I was just referring to the "tuxedo" lows if they were made to be a mid. I'm not suggesting we start calling anything by anything other than what we already do.

 

[deekaleci]

ill gladly pay 220 for these, materials looking on point and you cant go wrong with a black red and white 11 which could possibly have a GITD im hearing?

I'm still on the fence with these. I don't love them, but I don't hate them either. I would have to see these in on feet in person.

Its not worth trying to convince yourself to spend $220 on these if you don't love the sneaker..or if you're on the fence about the sneaker...unless you're gonna resell. Keep the cash..don't waste it on hyped trash. Nobody will get shot or stabbed over these 11s..lol..so what's that tell u?

 

[staffsgtdignam]

so this will be random


but due to how far off this release is

this MIGHT be relevant near drop date


so the footlocker family of stores which is FTL HOH footaction champs kid etc..

are planning to roll out an app for raffles

the app would work with location services and only allow you raffle sign up access to 3 nearby stores via the app

this way the chances increase for people who actually live near certain stores and screws over those people who do like 20+ raffle sign ups all over the city lol


they wish to due this to level the playing field and make it fair

but also to eliminate raffle sign ups by hand in person as its a very tedious thing especially come holiday season or a huge release weekend


the app progress is still in its infancy as of this typing but could get fast tracked

as FTL family were really impressed with how the adidas app has worked for the yeezy drops and have worked closely with adidas during those times(more coming)


again for now take it with a grain of salt as this could not roll out till next year or it could never leave beta stage as FTL has a long history of not completing apps

as some may know/recall they worked on an app that would text raffle winners to avoid the tedious call backs and it never came to llight

It would be kinda dumb for them to beta test this during the biggest release of the year.

You know you will end up buying these come release date. Especially since the end of the year is looking pretty weak, in terms of releases.

 

[Mr Dink]

Honestly, compared to Breds, SJs, Concords, Columbias, these 72-10s are pretty weak. But I'd be lying to myself if I said I wasn't gonna go all over the city on December 14, 2015 to enter 40+ raffles for these.

 

[SteveSteve72]

The leather kills these IMO.
