I mentioned how some Jordan's weren't well received earlier in this thread and was told I was wrong
The 7's, first shoe released were the Bordeux's. Looked like boots and had nothing to do with a Bulls jersey.
The 8's had Air Raid like straps and people complained about the carpet look on the tongue.
The 9's first colorway was the White/Black, the shoes looked like moon boots at the time. Let's not mention the Olive colorway that was on discount because most everyone didn't like them.
The 10's, kinda basic and not that "Wow" factor when they were first seen.
These were popular opinions of the shoes when they were released. The shoes grew on you as more colorways were released and you saw them more.
