It's things like this...(just dropped a few days ago) that make me think that "6" on the tongue is just laziness by Nike. They already had their stuff made, so they don't care, it's going out for sale!

The 6 on the tongue is a reference to the 6 million dollar man tv show.

Me either...just like that shirt that just released, "Lion on the beach" which clearly is talking about South Beach, definitely not referring to Ohio.I don't believe you

The lion on the beach shirt is lazy, but on the other hand, there's not much else they can do with the last remaining Miami stuff they've already made other than to try and sell it. I don't think it's a stretch that they originally intended the trillion dollar man colorway to be a reference to the old TV show, but obviously it would've worked a lot better if he was still wearing #6. It might still be possible that they'll change it by the time retail pairs release, and the ones at the event with the #6 were samples. Guess we'll see.

Those pics (whether retouched or not) make the NSRL look better.

I'll admit that the NSRL have grown on me with official pictures, but not enough to grab at full price.

The detail on the TDM are ridiculous! The pattern underneath the sole and on the swoosh are amazing. I hope they give us those options on IDs

These are actually decent. The 11s were ehh and the 10s were pretty good.

I hope so. Maybe this will end up being like the KD V where the Elites should have been the regular.

The side pane is ridiculously ugly and looks terrible in contrasting colours but it's necessary for stability.

Those NSRL's are the main pair that I want. I like the lighter more flashy colors. Really makes the shoes pop more.

I honestly think the 6 is in reference to the 6 million dollar man. All the other pairs have the twelve dots so they clearly wanted an emphasis on the number 6 for the TDMs specifically to go along with the theme. BUT I do think they intended it to double nicely as a reference to his number as well. Personally, I think the dots would work much better just because of the confusion it's causing.
