Air Jordan XXXVI (36) first info…

[rainking]

Heres my og set. This is the order they dropped in.

Man do I get pissed off every time I see a good pic of OG white/reds
They're all cool, and I got the OG Taxis on release day all those years ago, but looking at the white/reds and the obsidians today ... these are two shoes I NEED yesterday. Especially the white/red. How we are still waiting on a new release of those, I cannot fathom.

I have a hard time picking my favorite 12, but I always fall back on taxis. Idk what it is about them, but they are just so clean.

Not my pic and I’m not sure if real, but stumbled across these on IG (seems poster ends up getting a number of samples and early releases). Take it for what it’s worth

Kinda dig that pattern under the mesh. Lots of possibilities there.

So it really might be see throughish like that John Elliott/Lebron collab

 

[wizards23brown]

I’m wondering if breathability was a complaint from NBA players after going for from the 34s to 35s. Idk just speculating on why they seem to favor the see through thin mesh stuff.

These are pretty fire, this colorway and pic makes it a lot easier to spot the details. This shoe is a nice canvas, lots of potential for colorways and interesting color blocking. I love the flowing lines of the upper of the shoe.

Black/Reds are my favorite because it's the first shoe (and major purchase) I bought on my own but...nothing will ever pop like the White/Red XII. That would be my easy choice as the best XII if not for personal reasons. Need them asap.

After seeing the Lebron 19, it leaves me wanting more from the 36. Even though the 19 have cues to the Lebron 9, it’s fresh enough to stand alone. Design language everywhere is asymmetric and bold. The 35 and 36, inspired by their asymmetrical counterparts, went completely safe w/ curved panels and arches. On the 33 and 34 they took chances, I admire that.

JB needs to get the Air Jordan back to the front of the pack.

I’m not all excited by aesthetics of the 19s. Also, yet another suspect looking tongue. Ugh. Why?!? Anyway, the tech sounds interesting, but I haven’t enjoyed playing in any of the recent Brons and I’m not anticipating that will be different with the 19s.

I’m way more intrigued with the 36s. They look interesting enough aesthetically - I get some can call that safe. However, the 36s look and sound like a nice performance evolution of the 34s and 35s. I like how those play and I don’t need radical changes from those shoes, so the 36s could be very good fit for me. Is this JB pushing the limits like in previous models? Not really, but I’m fine with that. JB did something similar with the 28-29-30s and I feel like this is a better implementation of a multi year evolution of shoes as opposed to radical changes year to year.

Sold my white/red 12's in a set for $900 a few years ago. Wish I would have kept them if I knew JB was playing around retroing these. Soles were separating and I didn't trust mailing them off to get fixed and paying so much when a retro was possibly around the corner.

some shattered backboard concepts

Those nylon lace loops check out for me so atleast for now you can count me out on this one 34's also had those same kind of loops, and they we're really a pain in bum to play since they started to loosen after a while, and when you started to tighten them, you always had to keep your finger pressed on last set of laces so they wouldnt loosen up as you work your way up. I think Chris from WT also noted this in his initial review.

I agree, I didn’t like the laces on the 34s AT ALL. I’m always watching that top lace loop looking like it’s gonna rip off.

Unfortunately these laces look very similar to those. My opinion so far is this shoe has potential to be better than the 34s with some good colorways.

 

[wizards23brown]

Do these actually have a lace lock on them? The concept pics do but I haven’t seen it in the real pic.

 

[sk33termcg33]

34 laces were the worst b…

 

[KourtKleaner]

I definitely think that's the weakest Jordan sig in the last several years

 

[jacksodk]

Remind me of the XXX's

This has got to be one of the dumbest moves from JB. Why show them then.......crickets.

Maybe because all their branded athletes got bounced out from the playoffs?

They still have Batum, Blake, Uncle Jeff, CP3 (glued in his 12s), & even PJ wore the COG 35s pre-launch. I wish the guys would do like MJ '95 Playoffs, when he wore XIs to finish out the season. It would also be nice to see WNBA athletes rockin them.
