I'd def invest in a sole swap, especially if you can find a cheap donor pair at the outlets.

Man, I'd love to know what all Ty is still sitting on from that era. He blessed me with quite a few beautiful stockroom finds.

I got my 99 Royal-white sole swapped last year. I was going to do the rest of these but I think I have 1-2 Jordans to do first.
The white-black is the only one I wore often. All of the others probably only have 2-3 wears each. I think the obsidian I wore once.

Those blk\gray look familiar, mine looked and did the same thing.

Sigh. Back when Nike knew how to make its own shoes.

Somehow…, red one’s tongue got 2 tone portion…
Also looks like they got leather this time instead of part leather, part nylon like the 2012 release.

Wait, are these dropping? Better than the previous attempt at the "Pips" a couple years ago.

Since these pix are posted on US11’s site recently, I’d assume they will eventually be releasing….

This was the first I'd seen of it, but us11 has always been pretty reliable.
EDIT: Good lord, I'm really starting to hate the "authors" SN employs. They just spout nonsense without doing a second of research. Borrows from the AJ4 colorway that didn't exist until a few years ago?

In general, whoever writes for that site needs an education in grammar, verbs and adjectives. It hurts my head reading a lot of its “stories.” It’s bad enough that I oftentimes wonder if English is their first language.This was the first I'd seen of it, but us11 has always been pretty reliable.

Oh dude, I'm so glad it's not just me who noticed the adjectives. That Ebanks guy is the worst offender with misusing words. It's like he just pulls up dictionary.com's thesaurus and picks a random word to insert. They turned the comments off years ago, but I keep wanting to hit them with the...

Those wouldn't have been NEARLY as bad if it hadn't been for the black mesh on the tongue.

It most definitely isn’t just you. The one that drives me the most nuts is the never-ending use of “adjacent” and the sentence structure around it. If you haven’t noticed it already, I promise you will from now on never be able to unsee it.

No, I absolutely have. It's that and how they'll use a word like adorn to describe a colorway, but in the completely wrong context. "A military blue colorway adorns in the Air Jordan 4!"

Dude, 100 percent. Those examples are spot on classics. It’s sadly hilarious ignorance LOL
EDIT: Just noticed Sneakernews says the white/reds are GS ONLY. What in the flying ****

Sad to say, but it looks like unfortunately these are only slated to be released in "grade school" sizes
I mean, if the materials are good on these and it starts to set a more positive precedent for future release, I guess that's good? Someone's gonna have to get a pair of these to investigate and report back...

Yeah…, even the person like me whose native tongue isn’t English at all can sometimes be like “???”
BTW, this also looks so weird (perhaps, to all the Japanese) especially since the term “Neapolitan” means fully different thing & color here in JP….
