Excuse that people use when a shoe does not look good. "It's a basketball shoe. It's supposed to perform not look good." Jordan Brand/ Nike can't always come up with a great design. This is one of those times. Atleast for this color way, the XXX looks terribly placed. The toe cap looks terrible. Just an all around terrible shoe. That's coming from someone in the 'older crowd'.These shoes are super fresh. I love the design of them.
I feel as if the crowd saying these are ugly af are younger people / relatively new people to sneakers.
The reason I believe that is because they expect all Jordan's to have a lifestyle design. Something that can be worn down with mostly joggers. Ex: Retro's 1-14. At the end of the day, Jordan's are performance / basketball shoes. You cannot expect shoes to have all this great new technology and materials and look like Retro's 1-3. Additionally in all honestly, Retro's 1-14 are pretty bad shoes to play basketball in.
Shoe looks like as if it well perform very well on court. As they are ended to do so.
