Are people just not paying this post any mind?
Dude cuts up the pair and shows it’s not 3M

That screenshot I posted is LITERALLY from that video. He says "it's actually painted grey" and then put that overlay on it that says "Or 3M?"

Does that detail whether reflective or not change anyone’s mind on purchasing?

Yeah, I’ll go for em either way, but prefer it to not be reflective.
I’d actually rather them be 3M than just some painted white lines. At least they’d serve a purpose if they’re 3M, unlike just painting them to look like they have those white edges. Of course, I still think it’s tacky regardless but ugh. Still wanna cop. They could’ve done without the lines at all tho

Not for me. It's more of a curiosity than anything at this point. Like wtf IS it?
Instead of all this nonsense, they could’ve just made them with the true gray/white-ish cut lines. I guess that made too much sense to the JB people who concoct these needlessly silly ideas.
I’m easily out on these, and it’s one of my favorite shoes … in proper form. I would accept the goofy 3M heel NA and whatever these lines are if the rest of the shoe was an amazing retro. As it is, the shape is nothing great and that stupid tongue hasn’t been corrected nearly enough once again. Damn shame.

Yea I think with the proper shape and upper material and one very subtle change like the 3m Nike air these could’ve been a home run. I would’ve actually kept them all OG and thrown the 3M on the shark teeth, which were already silver anyway.

If they skip the shock drop that would be a first for a reimagined pair.
I know right…I’m assuming it would be this week, if so, cause it would be around 2 to 2 1/2 weeks from release…any later and it’s pointless

Limiting a couple releases will set the tone, and make people panic buy stuff they’d normally wait on, or might even pass on. It’s a scum bag strategic move by JB.
Basically they’re punishing us for them making bad decisions dropping too many pairs no one wants, and ends up sitting.

It’s crazy because I don’t know where the hype is coming from with these reimagined 5s I mean they set in 2016 picked up my pair easily. These dropping on my birthday most definitely going for another pair.
I'm not jumping through hoops to buy shoes anymore. If I can't get em for retail then I just won't be getting them.

People couldn't just enjoy discounts and stuff being easy to get. They had to be loud and act like it was "uncool" every chance they got

JB probably forgetting that most collectors have enough pairs of shoes to last them a lifetime.
“I can’t get a new pair of Cement 4s? Oh well. I guess I’ll make do with the 3 other colorways of 4s I have sitting in my closet that I haven’t worn yet.”
