Finally got confirmation of the upcoming colorways. Definitely not feeling the Montrose colorway. Will happily scoop up the Westbrook's instead. Going to be pissed if the carbon are not an online nikestore.com release. Still keeping fingers crossed that the JBC PEs will drop eventually...

man, scuff straight from the box is just as bad as sole separation after balling.


anyways, back to regular programming. the white pair are the nicest so far. i'd like the black shrouds more if they had those hole patterns in them. i'll probably wait till november, when i'll be visiting the states (hawaii) to finally see a pair in person.

Doesn't look like my HOH is getting them.  It's kinda strange considering they got every colorway that has released so far.  Maybe they'll be added to the list.

Man. My hoh got left out of the Saturday release. Smh

 

[ijumpman]

What's up with these crazy colorways, did Russell Westbrook get appointed to the design team?

 

[detroitonfire]

reminds me of

 

[chusifer]

just saw those days of flight 17s from earlier in the thread got hocked on ebay. cant believe people are willing drop THOUSANDS for a sneaker

 

[eltouha]

looking at that messy colourway makes them look like elephant enlarged and over two layers.

 

[si3n4]

I'm starting to doubt this weekend's release is limited. My niketown is getting both colorways and they have not carried any of the previous colorways. Seems strange they would get these if it truly is a limited release.

 

[si3n4]

Double post.

 

[joekamel]

Does Westbrook's own paris have his logo? The pictures I've seen out there for the OKC colorways being released don't seem to show his logo. Techinically not a PE then if you ask me.

They need to release the Wallace and Rip City colorways, complete with logos. It's about time Jordan Brand dropped some PEs, even if it ends up being limited. As long as its not HoH NYC limited like back when HoH first opened up, I can live with it.

 

[Champagne_Taste]

Wonder why they are pushing westbrook Instead of Blake? I mean yeah blake flops in all but he's what a 3 time starting all star with tons of commercials he's way more popular than Westbrook.

 

[solejordan]

saw the xi xx8 days of flight starting at $15,000. that's just extreme

You and me both.  

 

[bdrake823]

Some of these prices are crazy, I understand the 1 of 1's but 10K plus for every pair on ebay. And of course the XI's are the most expensive at 15K

And what makes you want to spend this much? Is it really worth it that much?

thats collector status bro, the same way i would think it stupid for someone to buy a musket when we have newer more efficient weaponry, they just want to collect it, it means something more than just its function

I saw a ducking article about a college girl who found a rare Nintendo Game at the Good Will, and it turned out to be worth $38,000 on the collector market. And we wouldn't be posting on this message board if we only cared about function. And lord knows I wouldn't be waking up early to stand in a stupid line like an ape or west coasters wouldn't be setting their alarm clocks at 5 a.m. On Saturday.
