if so these r not gonna sell at all. space jams only 25$ more. makes no sense. ill buy when they go on sell for 79$ or lower.

I'd actually pay full price for these over the banana-shaped joints that are dropping as "retros".

I wish they'd just go ahead and retro the 16s.. so I can cop the White and Navy's again..

I'm starting to lean more towards not copping. I already have doubles on the CDP 16's and 17's so there's no real need for these in my life. Ifthey're priced at a discount level and I'm strictly in need of some new basketball sneakers..I'll cop then. Until then....I can do better with my$.

Why is it that of all the retros coming out between now and the end of the year, these are what I'm most looking forward to?

I feel you completely. It's because we all know the quality of the Space Jams will be CDP-esque. All the retro quality sucks. If it"resembles" the original, it passes QC and its stamped a JB product.

Team shoes don't get much love in this forum, but some of the models over the past two years have been solid hooping shoes. I was a big fan of the 2.5sand also the Ol Skools.....really dependable ballin' shoes that u could get on the cheap if you waited for outlets/discount retailers.
The 2.5 was actually a good balling shoe.

I fully expect to see almost all the JB endorsees rocking this come Oct/Nov.

[greyson23]

black ones aren't too bad....but i'll stick with my 16's

 

[jayjunkie]

I was always a fan of the 16s & 17s. Copped at outlets/fnf/ea

 

[hlu1]

They look alrite, not bad!

 

[chief ediri]

I like them, but most likely won't cop.

 

[bh23enry]

Unique

Zoom in these?

 

[diddydadagger]

D-Wade is wearing these and the 010. they are trying to do away with the players wearing retroes

I hope that's true. Retros will sell on their own to all the hypebeasts out there, and JB needs to transition to the next phase of theirdevelopment. The only numbered retros actually worth balling in were the '04 XII, which were perhaps THEE most comfortable, stable, and durable hoops shoeI've ever worn.

That said, I'm a fan of a few of the newer team models, including the 9.5s, Elements, 16.5s, and True Flights, and think JB should have these on the feetof their stars.

 

[l silky johnston l]

I like them.

 

[23dwyanewade3]

cosign. definitely coppin these white black red. 16.5 >= 16 > 17 IMO.

 

[youngmoney15]

the are ok. look like a fresh balling shoe

 

[clkru]

the more I look at these the more I think they're one of the hottest looking Jordans - numbered or otherwise - to release in a long time.

 

[geegee]

these are dope

 

[retromj17]

im loving these...ill cop if the price is right!
