Different midsole, different outsole, and/or more creative color assembly would have been nice.To me they do.
All black upper, blue jump man. Sure the blue is off, but it's still blue.
One guy had a point about SJs and Breds resembling each other better, but that doesn't change the fact that these are in that echelon. But his point further strengthens mine, I think: the color blocking on them is nearly the same with the exception of the midsole. That's fine.
So why the complaints? Do we just want nothing but the same freaking shoe, but different color accents (for example, imagine Bred but orange where there is red)? I'm just not seeing the logic behind these rants... we can have an all white 11 (columbias) with a blue jump man, but not an all black one?![]()
New and fresh are fine; lacking creativity is insulting and assumes that people will buy whatever, whenever, wherever.
But JB is emboldened by people buying anything that once sported a roman numeral and a jumpman.
And your comparisons to Space Jams work to your disadvantage. Why would JB release a shoe, that tangentially resembles a classic, 3 years after it was last released? Why not just darken the jumpman, lighten the outsole, remove the yellow ribbon, and call it was it is?
And if not, and the objective is to freshen the silhouette, why not broaden the color palate and get tastefully creative with the colors, patterns, and hues?
Cause where it stands now, JB is half-assing it. But how many of us give them a reason to care?
