that's very true I haven't seen a sole in these my guess a lot of resellers and/or ballers. My local hoh still has pairs of some CWS.

I broke out my black/lime green XX8s for balling and no one had a clue what they were. I was even asked if they were actually basketball shoes. Very few people know what XX8s are let alone own them. Never seen a sig this limited. I guess it's part of the stealth strategy

Cannot wait. Hope these aren't limited as the XX8s. Had to get 13 instead of 12.5 in 3 out of the 4 pairs I own because they were so limited.
Agree on the elephant print. The red and grey XX8 elephant print looked real tacky

oh I'm definitely not debating the limited factor but they had to be limited at that price and style, there was only a few cws I was digging but wasn't paying more than $85 for any of them.

Yall know i cant do that, I would love to, but I need my job lol. I threw non design info in when this thread first started, everything is still in line with what i first said, from the standpoint of the shoe hitting retail. I think i read 2 bills somewhere a couple posts back, How much are the new Kobe 9s? ... ..... ..... We didnt get the new Kobe 9s at finishline so im curious.....

Cant they just go back to what made the line great?
Back to the basics?
Real leather?
Full length air?
Only a couple of jumpmans on the upper and not jumbo ones?
Not copying from past sigs like a mr potato head air jordan?
Like seriously you want your line to be about elagance and high end why not cut the gimmicks out and make that **** worth the price for once?

Lol I don't expect any pics will leak before the reveal. I'm excited about these. I hope I can get a pair cuz the XX8s were too limited. It hard to compete against resellers and bots. I actually collect because as a kid I wanted to be like mike. I like the quality and style. I buy a few retros but I always get the new # models. Can't wait!

^yeah those have popped up in the name of xx9 for months now, FDH.
i'm glad to see an earlier reveal than expected. i was completely switched off from jordan brand for this year until i read that.

Here's a look at the invite Jordan Brand sent out. Doesn't give many clues but just something to add to the thread until the event

It's a chicken/egg scenario. If they make more pairs, they will probably sit on shelves. If they are limited, then word gets out and they instantly become more desirable = quick sell out.

Really intrigued to see what they do from a performance standpoint, assuming they'll improve the unlocked zoom system.

Not interested if it's flyknit.
Also are they really releasing in Oct? Seems a long time after the unveil. The XX8 was Dec to Feb

after reading the complex article on resellers, im lead to believe a lot of hype is manufactured and, in the case of the 28s, limited stock was made even more limited by resellers buying available stock
