Being an artist myself i think the rubber heel is design genius with its horizontal lines. I think had these not had the controversial tounge, and a few bette colorways, these would easily be one of everyones favorites.
anyway yall keep hating im gonna keep rocking mine.
You sir, stated just about EVERYTHING that made me love the XVs when they first came out. I love the fact that I rarely see anyone else wearing them, because this is one of the last ones that really had people on the "Love them" or "Hate them" side. The tongue turned a LOT of people off on the shoe, but that's what really had me interested in them, because there was nothing like them out at the time (that still applies today). JB just took the line and turned it into a trapezoid with these.
I'll keep rocking mine with pride as well.
