What is Jordan LS?

[uncle sam 1013]

The difference between LS and GR is that the LS is only men sizes as NJstress put it,
only urban accounts as Solekollectah put it and, the jeans as I put it.

It's a shame those final 2 LS's had jeans on other continents.
I had 2 do my own research for that, NT did have any info for me
I hope 2 one day get those LS jeans...

at some of these responses.

But Lifestyle means, limited release in mens sizes, to urban accounts like Footaction. Usually comes with alot of matchin gear, but it doesnt mean LS, forexample the Aqua 8s came with alot of apparel but arent LS.

are LS releases the same as retro+ releases? or do those 2 things even have anything to do with one another?

Retro+ are new colorways aka non-original colorways. I for one like the retro+ way more than the LS.

thanks NT now i know what LS means

LS stands for Life Style. I'm glad so many people felt the need to say that.

But what does that really come from?
The LS line was created to be shoes and apparel that is meant for casual wear instead of performance. These shoes generally had more unusual color combinationsthat were not traditional in basketball shoes. They also more often used materials that are not really geared towards performance, such as more suede andpatent leather, neither of which are really performance materials. Only certain retailers have LS accounts so they are more limited as they are not as widelydistributed. Of the major chains only Foot Action has an LS account.

Here on NT LS has become synonymous with the more wild colorways, whether each shoe really is designated as LS or not.

Pretty much all JB shoes have some matching apparel released around the same time, LS shoes tend to get a bit more merchandise.
