Not to highjack the thread but...
You ever stroll down memory lane to the flagship pairs you skipped and why?
Got to the 25 and have been lmao the last half hour like oh no no no noo.

I went on an AJ flagship model hiatus between the 22s and 28 SEs (I likes the way the 23s looked, but never bought at pair). Those were some dark years, relatively speaking.

The one Flagship I've never been able to bring myself to buy. They were just too terrible. I did get a couple pairs of the Team version though, and loved those.
 
Besides the 2010s, there’s at least one colorway of each sig shoe that I could wear and enjoy.

I’m almost wishing I woulda tried for the Fragments after seeing these pics.. Can’t decide if I should get the DNA pair or hold off until the Bayou Boys. Bayou are still prolly my favorite of what we’ve seen so far, maybe tied with the Center of Gravity pair idk.

Gotta get atleast a pair of XX3s, they are just so damn beautiful.
Went through a dark period of my own personally and let go of every pair i had. To date its the one major blow to the collection that still stings. Had the Chicagos, Chicago alt, Motorsports, Carolinas and the Black and Reds, Each gone smh. Good thing however is atleast at the moment they go for some pretty damn good prices.
 
*RED DYE UPDATE*

For anyone looking to add red to the panels on their Warriors, gave a quick test run between yesterday and today and though it would work so much quicker unfortunately the red dye gets swallowed up by the black nubuck.
As those of us whove had hands on have noted the materials used on these are very good as such the cut is just too thick to really push out a vibrant red.
Even with multiple pass overs letting dry adding more dye it just would not give out anything but a darker more maroon red.
Stripped that and gave a go with some Duplicolor fabric red which usually does really well on interior parts fabric and other wise and it too got swallowed into the black producing a darker red.
As such the last and likely best combination will be a fabric medium of choice and your basic red paint for pigment. As always ill be sure to post detailed photos of the first shoe once ive got it dialed in for reference.
 
Precisely what I was worried about when I tried mine on
Not only that but my second and third go in these lasted about 2 hours of in game speed moves.

the other MAJOR flaw in design is the lace loop cables that rub and cause major blistering on the arches of my feet and this isn’t isolated. I’ve talked to half a dozen hoopers. Back to the 34 I go. I’ll try this one more time one my feet heal up. I’m at the point where if the shoe I wear is doing this to me feet. I’m out. They’re going back to Nike. PERIOD.

Been walking around the house trying to get this stiffness out but I think this plate is what is bothering me so these are a no go for me. Even sitting down if i shift my foot I feel pain and like my foot can’t freely move.

It’s baffling to me how big of a F up this is. You add pillows at the back for comfort but instead they cause pain along with the rigid sharp back of the shoe. Between that and the massive blisters from the lace loops on the inside. These just won’t work. And if they work for the odd person great.

I so wanted to like these and have walked around in them over a few days for short amounts of time but these just not working.
 
I'm getting the PF version, so who knows? I just can't seem to remember which shoes have that kind of a heel design that bothered me before. I know one was the KD V, maybe the other one was Adidas something.
 
These little corners at the back are my main issue. It’s been about 5 hours of ball so far and it’s killing my Achilles. If it keeps up Nike will get a return and I’ll stick with the 34s.

ironically those sharp corners helped saved my Achilles. Some guy jumped up and landed directly on this corners.

Cray.
In my opinion though a shoe should never cause you this much pain and or give you blisters this bad I’m gonna give this shoe one more go next weekend I’m going to play for a couple hours again and if it causes me any pain like this I’m done with the 35s altogether I’m glad I grabbed about four or five pairs of 34s. The 34s are just an all-around better shoe in my opinion the materials are nice on the 35s but again with the design of the heel and the lease loops and the way the material bunches up even wearing Nike elite thick socks it causes unbearable pain
 
23mj88 23mj88 for the inside-the-shoe cable issues are you talking about the same thing nightwing did in his review?

It's at 4:43 and there's a picture of the wound it created on his foot, at 5:13
