I think the AJ XX8 is the most versatile basketball shoe ever made. You can wear it low top or high top & the elastic outer shell provides good support. Super lightweight & feels like they propel you.
Lucked out & picked up an unclaimed pair at the mall after oversleeping for the SNKRS L. They're just too nice & clean to pass up, reminds me of white 14s with the color combo.
The 28s are like a high performance summer tire, great performance but not much longevity if you play in them. But there is no other shoe that I've worn where the performance is evident the minute you put them on. They're my personal favorite Jordans actually, so many ways to wear em.
The backlog has got to be significant and seems redundant for many of the shoes sold. I recently bought some Cons ERX 260 on ebay for $100 and they actually authenticated them. I wouldn't mind so much except it's taken 4 weeeks, these shoes didn't even come with the box. Not very well planned or...
I wear mine on the beach cuz I hate sand like Anakin, they're great. The first shoe or boot I've had that's able to stroll on the beach and keep dry feet with no sand.
The caricature champion Tshirt sold out on Nike but can be found at Lids, if anyone's looking. https://www.lids.com/nba-los-angeles-lakers/los-angeles-lakers-nike-2020-nba-finals-champions-celebration-roster-t-shirt-white/o-1347+t-36253091+p-15880846781+z-9-3210149487
The thin thread is a concern, but I'm guessing it's the same mechanism from the Hyperadapt & Air Jordan 33s, just exposed. Also the thread is what makes the auto lacing functional, as it really locks down your foot when using the system.
The 03s are TTS. For the person who asked about the achilles gear, you don't even notice it at all. The shoe is extremely comfortable & impressive. Don't think anyone can go wrong with any of the 4.
