All I see is the Jordan 2012's design rehashed . Colorways could save these

Same here I'm digging those I wanna see a COLUMBIA pair...oopps I mean "LEGEND BLUE"...lol
Yeah you have a point. These shoes are designed a year or two minimum prior to actual release. I wouldn't exactly call it lazy. Aesthetically unappealing is another issue....Come on man can we stop saying "what a lazy design" "these are such a terrible design". I'm sure you all know what it takes to design a shoe....you are all designers at some level and understand that the team was "lazy" when designing the shoe. They didn't set out and create a brand new process to make a shoe or anything.....na that didn't happen...lazy design.
There is a difference between "not liking the aesthetic" and not liking the design. If you don't like the way the shoe looks that is a criticism. But by all accounts they worked extremely hard to design a new shoe. Now whether or not that is true can really only be judged by playing in the shoe. All that being said....i think the shoes look way better in the on foot shots posted....but i still don't find the elephant print one that pleasing on the eyes. But if they shoe came out in all black no giant jump man with just the jumpman peaking out of the toe from the sole (just like XIIs). I would cop.
I wish JB would recognize that no matter how the shoe looks....it can be made likeable. Make every single JB athlete wear the 29. But them allllll over the court in the NBA. Even if they aren't the best looking shoes people assume pro's like playing in the best shoe.....which they can be coaxed into by seeing every nba player wearing them. Not too mention doing things in them that are iconic. If the thunder won the title and Russel hit the game winning shot in game 7 in the shoes....you have a winning shoe.
Be careful the fan boiz will come to kill you now, when I was asking yesterday, how come there is no carbon fiber and heel zoom in them "new" joints, cats were ready to get my with vengeance.
Just realized that they don't even have carbon fiber.
So to sum up, no leather, no carbon fiber and a $225 price tag for a "premium" product which is knitted together, has TPU plastic for support and zoom bags that could potentially pop.
Honestly,it sounds like an April fool's joke. I'm almost expecting tinker and MJ to come back and say "we're just messing with you. This is the real XX9".
That is the key, this is the target market these days.
were these made by hypebeasts, only for hypebeasts?
So that people from space and airplanes can see that cats are rocking the "new" J'swhy is the logo so big?
those are beyond tacky
im only in here because i saw it on the NT homepage
Yeah, I witnessed that. Lmao at dudes claiming TPU is better than carbon fiber

The next hypebeast move I expect from JB after lurking this forum and other blogs is to make these super limited to artificially ramp up demand and bring out the hypebeasts in droves, just like they did with XX8s and futures
I know right, I was not sure to laugh or cry over this one, just shocked.

Bro, I don't own any retros anymore. I'm not saying this is a hypebeast shoe but that's certainly what JB is going to try and turn it intoTo all those who put these and hype beast together, I hope none of you guys own or like Laney 5 or any none OG CW of any Js. That includes low tops. All rotted on shelves back in the late 90s. Hype drives 99% of what's selling now.
Lolyes, and the best cw will only be available in a one remote petrol station in new mexico
you know, to commemorate how mj's shoelaces came untied one time he was having sex in a petrol station outhouse with a complete stranger.
