Recently, it was those Fontay Montana IX's. I'm a Knicks fan (and a Mets fan, for that matter) and so, I'm a sucker for the blue/orange colorway. I waited on line for those kicks...was SUPER pissed when I didn't get my size, but I was cool with the 10 (i'm a 10.5...normally a 10 is fine, but not for IX's). Opened the box to do my release day ritual (relacing)...
Truthfully, I didn't even notice that they weren't white...not until I put the shoe on my dining room table, where there just so happened to be a piece of printer paper. When I put the shoe on the paper, I realized they weren't white.
They were immediately sold.
Same story goes for the Ceramic VII's from back in the day...but back then, you didn't have to make a snap judgement on Jordan releases...You could actually look at them and touch them before buying...hell, they even let you try them on. And you didn't have to be at the mall hours before the store opened on release day...so when I went to pick them up, i peeped how they weren't white based, and promptly got back on the train...
I know the new generation doesn't match their sneakers anymore, but I still do...and off-white/cream/bone/ceramic, is HARD AS EFF to match...
