Pics of the XIV + IX Countdown Pack

Black/red xiv's are my favorite shoe of all time. I have to buy these.

too similar to last shots and has that eerie "fake" look to them

^^Exactly. Remember when we first heard about the countdown packs? They were supposed to be OG colors. I can accept the shadow X retro, because it'sbasically the shadow 45 with respect given to the OG collectors (even though I don't agree with this philosophy). When JB retros a shoe, it should standout from all the fakes, even if they feel the need to make a small change to preserve the history of the brand.

I think they obviously seek Mike's input on th design process of the shoes, but I don't think he's asinvolved as you would believe in the brand's decision making, especially after the Larry Jordan hoody incident.

sameshoe just with no leather in white pin stripes and different colored symbol

real talk though, i thought JB knew about this Air-Randy guy? how's he still in business? I'm not knockin' his hustle though, but can't JB dosomething about him having the shoes up prior to release date?

SORRY TO GET OFF TOPIC, but just wanted to know

Garbage. Passing on these also.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Thanks for the pictures, those are looking great so far.

I think these xiv's are trash. Why release another black/red xiv so damn similar to the other one? An easy pass for me.

 

[craze191st]

passin i hate how their making the sneakers look so similar to jordans that came out not too long ago so that in every pack theres a good chance ur gonna beforced to buy a pair you already have or looks dangerously close to, money making scheme, JB is only thinkin up of one shoe and then slappin on a previousrelease and calling it a day. itd be cool if they were much older OGs like indiglows but come on, last shots came out not even 3 years go.

These are clean. I'll cop this pack. It's a shame that the XVII's won't be an og color

Looks like they are an exact replica of the '02 release.

 

[nanbeezy]

Nice, time to wear my '02 retros again

 

[teamcharisma69]

gets a good pass from me however an indigo package would've been more to my taste

 

[All Ready]

Pics are crack, shoes are crap

All black shoes with minimal accents will always get the thumbs down from me

 

[retrospect90]

[czur1127]
