the melo colorway just doesn't match, same w/ CP. they slap on the tongue logo and call it a PE.. not good enough.

the cps are trash. at least the melos have the same color blocking as the og cws. thats one of the main reasons i like them. if the color blocking was any different, i wouldve passed.

Do you guys think I'd be able to find someone who would swap shadows for DS legend blue 11s. I'm seriously on some retiring from anything that isn't a Jordan 1 at this point...
(Ok maybe some 7s but yeah...)

Well i would prefer to wear these f&f with shorts, but sigh not allowed at work.
I agree they look funny with jeans, but they are super comfortable for walking from my parking garage. It's a struggle to give each pair some time in the rotation.

I love how people refuse to get something just cuz it's not an og colorway. There have been plenty of new colorways across retro models that look really nice. If I see something I like I'm going to get it, regardless if mj put them on his feet or not

Would it make sense to get Melo 1s and Black Gums?

Melo's have that buck side panel, while the gums one are just dreadful and stiff. That being said, being an all black shoe does mean that its easy to rock with almost everything.

Two different shoes, so why not?

I'm pretty sure you have more than one black and red sneaker colorway in your closet.

I bought both. I'm pretty satisfied.

I think everybody takes in to consideration the similarities of the shoes they're looking to buy and the ones they already have. I know I do, but if I had to decide between the two shoes mentioned I would definitely go with the Melos. The gums look like a girls shoe to me. The wife picked up a pair and I like them, but I couldn't pull them off.

I do? But not of the same model...

I wouldn't say they were the same color though, that's why I said they are two different shoes pretty much. One is pretty much all black. But I understand what you're saying I guess.

And I understand where you're coming from, but like I said to homie, I'll wear all black with both or maybe some blue denim here & there but they'll both be treated the same. I'll do both, what the heck

And let me guess, to you a guys shoe looks like
You're stretching hard, real hard on that one.
Although I do acknowledge it is your opinion and all opionions are subjective.

I can't lie to you fam...I've been hunting these down for years!
I'm not trying to put labels on any shoe in particular, but the shiny panels on the gums seem to be slightly feminine. If they would've come in a solid black tumbled upper like those Japan joints I would have copped.
