This is, or was, a performance product first and foremost - and you're asking people to wear WHITE SILK on their FEET.
In terms of technical innovation, the gussied up impax column is a total dud.
Marbled plastic? This is a dollar store version of luxury. It makes no sense. If the silk, which was an atrocious selection to begin with in terms of performance and sustainability, is so expensive, what's the point of pairing it with decidedly low grade materials? It's like setting a precious gem in a plastic ring.
If people didn't want the XIV retro for $150, who on earth wants a dumbed down XIV.5 for a whopping $190 in the middle of a recession? I would be stunned if this shoe isn't a total failure at retail.
As someone who's been wearing Air Jordans since 1990, I won't be buying the 2009 and, frankly, I'd like to know just who would. To me, it's a failure on every level.
Amen

The final product is not going to look like that. Look at how sloppy the laces are, all of JB's 23 have neat clean looks. I hope they change it up atleast a little because I still don't feel these. I would almost prefer a pair of black 19's and I would never buy that shoe.

Your the man...JB do something smart for once and listen...instead of releasing these to footaction,finishline,footlocker and etc, they should just release itexclusively to outlets and clearence racks cuz thats exactly where there headed
