I'll buy em if they release with the white sole. The contrast stitching doesn't bother me at all, just like on the citrus 7s.

 

[love4daculture]

New color way need to cut off there

 

[mjmoney23]

I actually like the contrast stitching on these. If they release with the white sole I will buy. They just don't look right with the black sole

 

[jamazing]

The contrast stitching just ruins them. They should left the stitching all black.

I was saying pass till the very last picture that one for me is its all about that white sole mannnn

 

[tobi]

Looks ewww imo but I'll see when RD comes by.

 

[victortheguru]

I would cop if I get the chance to

 

[toughmoney]

These look the best IMO, with the nubuck upper. If they really release the shoe with the
black outsole I will easily pass on these.

I agree. I wasn't really hooked on them until I saw that picture.

 

[michigan]

[jrunk]

I didnt like em at first sight of the early pix but the mn pic n the last pic got me hook line n sinker lol
White soles YES Black Soles NO
Just that simple

 

[victortheguru]

lol your hoping for a miltary 4 type release huh

 

[michigan]

I hope the photo blue will match up with my blue lions jersey. 

 

[futuredhughes]

Didn't JB first use the Photo Blue colorway when they introduced the Dub Zeros?

I like that blue in person, so these will be fire.

Must cop for me, as long as they release with the white outsole.

 

[mistamidnight]

I will be passing....

 

[alexv469]

[futuredhughes]

[odawg]

:x |I

People need to get fired for making these type of stupid decisions.



The white set it off perfectly.

Those look like one of the fake/clearance rack retros that flooded the market around '07 now.

 

[zstrauss]

they're actually not bad, but i think the kilroys just kill the rest of the IXs coming out

 

[clong7]

Not awful but not for me. Sticking to the olives and the CG's.

 

[michigan]

I thought its a white sole?  

 

[capitalkicksmd]

Definitely an easy pick up, new color way is always great . And the haters gone hate

When you see the black soles out in the marketplace, you'll know why...

 

[goldenchild9]

Ahhh ok.

It was a manufacturing mishap.

Was wondering what would possess them to make such a drastic change for the worse.

Now those white soles will be purchased.

Should be interesting to see how this one unfolds.  Straight to outlets?  Maybe they'll just drop them anyways like the Kobe draft days from a few years back.

Great post.
