im about to sell a few pair of worn once space jams (09), worn once cool greys(10), and DS Cool Greys(10) on ebay all size 13, i tried on the Lebron 8s and fell hard. the quality is amazing, and the colorways are something out of this world, i jumped ship, and i bought the south beaches and entourages.

This was my first attempt to dye the sole, since I saw a thread on customizing the anniv XIs.  Like so many, I just can't stand looking at yellow soles.

@RIPPAFLOW- OG SJ with blue soles, still think the sole is too blue?

, I still don't get why jb didn't release the jams like this ,any one with pics from the 95 playoffs can seen the sole is definitely tinted blue and that's how they looked in the movie as well, we were all fienden for blue souls in 2000 when they first dropped and they should've done it to the 09's since jb likes to change things up when they rerelease, great dye job though

Same thing happened to mine. I really couldn't stand looking at my 09 Space Jams. Shape was just horrible and the quality was even worst. Glad I sold them.
Thought I was alone in thinking the shape was off.

Man, mine look about like yours but I have a buddy that his are completely yellow and they are DS. I was tellling him about mine starting to yellow and he checked his and they were all the way yellow. Yea its common in all 11s, so you might as well wear them and get it over with .
