Thanks! yeah I was aware that stripping back all the leather panelling was going to leave the upper a lot simpler. I did play around with leaving the jumpman on there, its not something I'm particularly against but I had the sleak lines of the IX-XII era in mind and decided to leave it out. I think preference with logo placement with footwear/clothing is really to individual taste and perhaps effected by cultural/social associations. Then again, the jumpman (iconic as it is), is a bit of an awkward shape to incorporate from a design stand point, you look at something like the swoosh or the three stripes - they have a graphic simplicity and its easy to think of ways of integrating them into the design of an actual shoe, there's not a huge amount to do with the jumpman other than simply sticking it where ever it fits on an existing design. Not that anyone would want to rework the Jumpman, but if you were to graphically simplify it to the degree of something like the nike swoosh, you'd end up with a mercedes star.Originally Posted by mcgregor triangle
That's a very high-quality photo shop up there. Maybe the upper should not be quite that plain, though. I've even gotten used to the oversized Jumpman and actually quite like it. Can someone articulate why exactly the large Jumpman is so off-putting? My theory is that ppl associate the Jumpman with the Nike Air that should appear but doesn't on the backs of retro Jordans..
Ok the PS looks like a GREAT WINNER.Originally Posted by eldikon

Anyway yeah with the upper I didn't want it to be so plain and found the brogue holing from the original design interesting so tried to reincorporate that into the rework. I'm going to make some more colourways and I think some of the ID previews are pretty interesting with the midsole options and flywire colouring so that might serve to spark it up.
edit: incase you're interested to see what the jumpman would look like on my PS here it is on some cool greys...

Since I haven't seen anyone do it yet...
I placed the liner from the UNC's into the wolf greys....Pretty clean look imo.
