EXACTLY. That is exactly how I felt when I first saw those. Hell, throw a Reebok logo on there and they would look just as dope. Design = awesome. Logo = crap. The Nike logo flows perfectly with those, as would a Reebok logo. Adidas or UA? Not at all.Originally Posted by SoleControl
Just shows how bad the UA logo is and how bad the placement of that logo is. Because those are kinda hot.
I disagree, these remind me of the AND1 Quest too much with a little bit of soldier IIs,

Me thinks UA shouldn't ditch the logo, they should work on the placement though, and they should think of more original designs, that seperate them fromthe other brands.

1234.... Good question and a fair one. I knew some would post the UA real quick just so the regular sheep wouldn't pile on and say how muchthey liked it... But of course.. my point still shows thru to an extent.Originally Posted by the12the22the32the4
Rock, just curious - one COULD say that by the nature of your posts on the topic it appears you are hoping that Lebron leaves Nike and jumps to UA.
If that is the case, why?
If not, then why do you keep making posts that seem to suggest you would be in favor of that?
Not trying to take you to task (I respect NikeTalk legends) but with all due respect, it makes you look like you have: 1. a vested interest in that jump occurring, or *gulp* 2. an agenda...

People buy shoes for different reasons.
Performance
Brand Loyalty
Sheep.
Everyone who REALLY knows me knows Im Nike all the way. I own NO UA shoes.. Trainers, BBall or otherwise. However.. Save for the Midsole, this design actually does ok. UA needs better logo placement and should really think of making a Shield or crest to throw the UA into.
Do I have a vested interest in seeing Bron go to UA... .Not at all.. no money.. No product.. no job. I have what I have already. its not going to change if he stays at Nike.. goes to UA.. or makes his own brand.
Do I have an agenda? I always have an agenda... and thats to make this damn forum more exciting to have stimulating discussions which dont involve colors and release dates..
I do think Nike's Swoosh goes a very long way on a product like someone mentioned earlier.. but should that be the main reason you buy a product? To me no.. I frankly am scared to ball in much else other than Nike.. cause its who I trust and what I know.. BUT if someone made a performance product that garnered the respect of ballers unlike AND1 and other brands I'd try it out.
To say if Bron left Nike and you'd not follow is a personal choice. Some people buy for the Brand.. which means they are not a fan of Bron.. just his products. I get that. Those who would follow Bron to ANY Brand would be considered a fan of Bron...
Others may try what Bron tries knowing HE is putting his trust into a Brand.. they should probably trust it too.
I myself have seen MANY designs that have never come to light.. and this UPPER competes with many of them, because it breathes and is pretty sleek. I cant speak for that when it comes to the Outsole and Midsole. it needs work.
I could pretty much bet if UA improved their Logo placement and had a design which could stand on its own many woulf flock to it.
Just my opinion. Thats it. I love having one of those.. and 1234 I NEVER mind being taken to task!!!Its the fun part of having good discussions in this forum.
