Yeah it's crazy to think the original Jordan 17 was leather and all that and also came with a damn metal suitcase for $200 haha LeBrons with that would be $400 now

I only have one pair of 13s, The Written In The Stars.Just curious, how many pairs of the 13's did you guys who "hate" them end up getting? Legit asking, no dissFrom what I can see, not a train wreck like the 13.
IMO, the 12's and 13's have zero cushioning compared to earlier pairs of Lebron's. Could not wear them for long periods of time on the court.

Not because I don't like the shoe, but they're so damn uncomfortable.
The posite piece on the upper kills my feet.
That's why I've only worn it a handful of times.
11s didnt have much cushioning to me, especially coming off the 10sIMO, the 12's and 13's have zero cushioning compared to earlier pairs of Lebron's. Could not wear them for long periods of time on the court.

Agreed, it was a good casual shoe but I regret trying to use them on the court.

Good point. Rather than let creators create they have groups of adults second guess each other into being useless. While giving them restrictive guidelines that must work with their current tech. ResultJust to chime in , the vibe at Nike is very "Group-Think". Tinker definatley had more freedom.
That bad, huh? Well, same here. Only got the lows. Zero high tops.
Would hope the 14's to be better because it would be hard to top these for me

I dont see how yall find the 13s uncomfortable.
Theyre comfy as hell.
PICS?
no 8s or 9s or 4s?Not trying to start the typical "list" of Bron models which inevitably will always happen but there's the 2, 7 and 10 and then everything else
I think you might have a point-Tinker probably had a lot more freedom when working on Jordans back in the day than Jason has with working on Lebrons nowadays.

Definitely my man, also bear in mind that leather shoes with multiple stitched panels were the norm for that era. Designers could actually make sneakers with multiple overlays, etc.
As axelrod said, there's strong 'Group Think' combined with a minimalist and cost saving mindset.
Nike Basketball stuff's gonna be hella generic for a long time unless there's management and culture changes at the Swoosh.
It does strike me as odd that the original design for the XIV was scrapped so late in the game. How did people not raise concerns about it earlier?
My theory is the design team had their collective heads deep into their collective butts, oblivious to the fact theyve been pumping out straight doodoo designs for a few years now. Then a very high level executive got his hands on the design and threw it in the trash.
Afterall AXELROD said the original design was cut like the Soldier X, with a zipper down the middle. ***** kinda BS is that?
That's the version I don't like.
The version I liked had the cut of the soldier X with a zipper in the middle. So good.

:x
Nah man. They looked good. Trust me.
I think the man AXELROD just has different taste cuz that sounds terrible

Every shoe looks team bank as hell regardless of price point.
Dudes with catalogs of shoes that suck such as leo chang need to hit the bricks for good,
100. Yes, yes, yes.Definitely my man, also bear in mind that leather shoes with multiple stitched panels were the norm for that era. Designers could actually make sneakers with multiple overlays, etc.
