"pre-heat" CWs typically tend to differ from the player's team colors or CW. dating pretty far back- think Cannon LBJ9, KD6, KD7 35 degrees, etc... even recently KD9.
So I get it, something a bit "off the beaten path" is expected for the first CW. That being said, there isn't much terribly crazy about the "shining", but I think the subtle things like the shiny swoosh and heel tab, as well as the clear sole, etc... give it that extra umph. I prefer the 2K( always like the greyish CW) as well over both the Shining and the Ferocity, but I think the ferocity is nice blend of Pacers CW and the PG story as well.
As for what who prefers and why. without question, the more limited in 98 % of cases, the more appealing they tend to be. just the nature of the beast. Buy what you like, wear what you like, and keep it moving, right?
I smell you bro. I just like the fact this basketball shoe has that runner look influence and the colorway pretty much goes with anything. Plus black + ice blue sole = crack.
