idk i was at footaction the other day and they couldn't tell me, they said all they know was they got an email notification changing the release date but no explantion, the MGR was saying nike doing some stupid stuff
i just realized i missed the most obvious reason why they're doing a riverwalk pack in the first place, as it never made sense to me, it's not an anniv yr or anything like that, but it's really simple, the columbia's come out this yr for christmas, which were the ASG shoe for Jordan that yr, hence all the riverwalk stuff this yr

I was under the impression the Riverwalk colorway and nickname was a nod to Kawhi Leonard, who happens to play for the Spurs and is currently one of - if not the - premier athlete repping the Jordan Brand. A lot more current and sensible than the '96 All-Star Game narrative. 
Nevertheless, I'm very much looking forward to owning that particular version.

yeah no, because there's a whole "riverwalk" pack, i don't recall Blake Griffin or Chris Paul playing for san antonio yet the Superfly 3 and CPVIII both have riverwalk ver. also the flighttime 14.5 and Velocity, oh and the XX9 wasn't made for Kawhi Leonard, or well he isn't the ambassador for the xx9, that's still Russell Westbrook, and before you say well Leonard had them on during media day, Westbrook had them on in last yrs playoffsI was under the impression the Riverwalk colorway and nickname was a nod to Kawhi Leonard, who happens to play for the Spurs and is currently one of - if not the - premier athlete repping the Jordan Brand.

Ok thanks a lot!! I thought they may be the SB colors because Nike labeled the colors as Fusion Pink and Tropical Teal.

A few XX9 Concepts I made based on the wings add JB released, thoughts?

The top one isn't too bad. The wings and jump man are too busy. Maybe they could shrink it and put it on the heel.
The latest Trinidad James 1st and 15th compared the LeBron XIIs and Jordan XX9. He was merely talking from a casual stand point since he hasn't played in the XIIs yet. As of right now, from a casual stand point, James feels like the Lebrons are heavy. He also only likes the NRSL color way. Whereas, he loves the on court performance of the XX9s.
I just wish they had more interesting designs and color ways. It feels like early Mortal Kombats where the ninjas were all the same except for their color and stances. Even the PEs are elephant print or big jump man.

I know what the damn jersey looks like. the point is, people straight up pulled the nickname from their behinds. you have to string an awful lot together to get to the "riverwalk" name.... Ok, so it has a similar pink looking color and a similar teal looking color on it.... you're telling me they were made as a tribute to that game just because of that? Even if so, now you are taking that game's LOCATION, then further pulling a random element from it to name the shoe................ quite the stretch there wouldn't you say?
grey from the stars, white from the letters, orange from the ball. RIVERWALKS.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Jordan brand named them the riverwalk, not some random sneakerhead pulling a name out of their ash
