I also forget those people calling OG fire red IV's, OG MARS.Originally Posted by 916shoehead
you argued that the Laney Vs paid homage to the school based off the retro card, but what if that was the retro card for the XIV? would it make a difference then? and if so are you saying that the retro card makes a difference in the nickname of the shoe?
we dont make nicknames based off the retro card, we make them off of their colorways and what they represent, eg.last shots, spacejam, bred, fire red
i know i dont have the reputation to have my word trusted as much as a moderaters, but i've been lurking long enough to know whats going on..
JB forum is dying

Newb, please go away...
i remember these weird funky labels...i used to be like...there's plenty of space for them to spell out AIR JORDAN lol....smh at them forcoming up with the idea of Retro+....and then ABANDONING it...and making LS...but still calling non marquee colored retro's...simply"retro's" and not "LS" or "+"Originally Posted by indohan
Could be inspired by Laney High School's. But that doesn't give the right for people to call it Laney XIVs. In fact, any stupid nicknames.
Worst of all, Vs was not meant to be called Laney's.
Where does it say "LANEY"?
Space Jam is different. Color is created for the movie; Mike wore them in the movie.
preach!, i mean ya should've deaded that on site, i remember when that was being first thrown around here back in 2001 when the retros werecoming out.Originally Posted by daaznfella
and yea that whole "BRED" non sense has to stop...i mean it's blk/red....not something you put mayo on....
now thats some funny %4!&Originally Posted by Untitled
yeah people cand find the smallest thing and try to make it stand out so it can be a nick name for itOriginally Posted by s dubl
Probably because they are somewhat of a Laney colorway....I just started seeing this also. These made up nick-names need to stop.

thats pretty irelevant considering the fact that
A. most nicknames from jordans are just either plays on the name of the colorway or actually are what they say they are (space jam ACTUALLY say jam on the tongue, laney V's actually come wit the retro card paying homage to his HS)
B. by the logic your showing here you can argue that these low top XIV's were "indiana pacers" since reggie miller was seen sporting the XIV's numerous times in the 1999 season.
these XIV's were never made to pay homage to the laney HS ...if they were im pretty sure it would've been documented at any point during their 9 years of existance...
these nick names are outta control
space jam XI's say "jam" on the tongue instead of "jordan"

You made the right bet though, as these shoes are not called the "Laneys" Not officially nor popularly.
They are the laney colours, yes, and in that case your friend was right, but I don't think you two bet they were the same colours, just what the shoes were called.
Personally these are one of the best looking jays in my book, and maybe your $50 will go to buying a pair yourself.
You are right. Your friend is wrong. These are laney colours, but are not nicknamed laneys or have that mentioned anywhere in the colourway.
