I feel the same way. Waste of material but it will sell out unfortunately

next year is the year of the 5s. Just give me the Grapes, Laneys. And I'll take a pair of white/metallics too.

I picked up the signature shoes up until the AJ 2011 - most could be had for good prices and the material quality and tech were fantastic for the prices! The 2012 was a let down with overuse of flywire (plastic) so I have not bothered with it. I suspect that all future AJ sigs will incorporate flywire/hyperfuse at this stage so I'm done. I also scored some OGs for fair prices due to the oversaturation of the retro market.

I agree with you man. Flywire and JB just don't go together imo (at least aesthetically). When I think of JB's craftsmanship and quality I think of the XX3: carefully stitched, sewn, minimal/no glue, meticulate and well constructed. Hyperfuse/flywire, while great materials, just feel cheap.

I Hope this version comes out, even though it's a photoshoped version of the Metallics (Look at the reflection). The other pics from counter kicks were terrible
i swear i want to slap the tilt off that 23.

Buy what you like, but I'd personally rather have 6 pairs of my favorite OG colorways than 30 pairs of assorted "Elephant" V's, "Filbert" VII's, and "Piston" VI's.
There have been some nice newer colorways("Cavs" IV, "Motorsport" VI, "Raging Bull" V, etc.), but IMO, these are not one of them unless they look way different than these early pics.

The 23 only belongs on 1 AJ5 in my opinion. Red Midsole Fire Red.

how is elephant print not cool on the 3? that's one of the main things that made the shoe great!
