Black 5s with white laces probably the only mistake Jordan ever wore on the court. Can’t recall if he did any lace swaps after that.

There are some weird lace swap ideas on here
SoleByThePound
with red laces on true blue 3s calling them “Piston 3s”
noblekane
wanting to put red laces on powder blue 9s and calling them “From UNC to Chicago”
Blue Mamba
wanting to put the round fat laces from 11s on Lost and Found 1s calling them “Lost And Found And Round 1s”

Given the improvements on 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/11/12/13 (soon to be 14 with the Black Toes maybe?) I’d say it’s more of a teenytiny leap of faith and more so 20/22 vision as opposed to blindly.
And I’m not saying ALL of them are PERFECT but they’ve all seen improvements over previous versions.Also, which models are worse now in your opinion? Genuinely curious..

You’re going to need to provide some receipts because you’re clearly confusing me with some other NT’er. I’m not saying someone hasn’t made that statement before, but it surely wasn’t me. I would never lace swap a Jordan, that’s a bamma trait.

I’ve never been a fan of the look, but it would be a sweet touch for these to have an extra set of white laces.

The netting on my 2016s is starting to tear off. Looking forward to the next release. Hopefully the tongue gets tweaked. Make it OG like.

Interesting, fair though. Well I hope JB makes them well enough that everyone is fully satisfied come Spring ‘25.

This was my first Air Jordan. I bought the 2016 but couldn't keep them because of the shape. These if done right will be had.

If they were your first Air Jordan, what was wrong with the shape?

With regards to the first pair I had it was a kids shoe so I'm not comparing it to that. It was only size 5 and actually leather.
The 2016 was very bulky for my liking and the tongue bothered me. I had the 2000 as well so more so comparing to that.

Were the fire reds a better retro than the 16s or same?
My 16s netting has yellowed although soles still fairly clear. These actually sat in UK I got them 4 weeks after release
