I’d rather rock with the yellow colorway on page 1 in dude’s hand than the official yellow ochre colorway.

Out of all four the yellow is screaming the most for a custom black swoosh.
Its weird that the swoosh is so light against the white backing, makes it kind of invisible.

Like, I get why they colored the swoosh. If you think about the scheme, you can figure out their thought process. Doesnt mean it works though.
Jordan Brand is bleeding the original colorblockings dry. So they create new colorblockings that derive from the old ones. So take the black toe colorblocking rules and add in the rules for the black trinity colorway. It equates to
when you keep the colored heel, collar and toe but put it on a black toe which holds the black swoosh and the white side panel. This is probably not news to anyone here.
But now we have this concoction;
which keeps the colored heel, collar and now swoosh but overlays it over the white panel once again while the rest is black toed.
So now you see where Jordan Brand is coming from.
What I see though is how much of a genius Bruce Kilgore was in the first place and how terrible these new heads are at this game. You see, Bruce knew the rules and why they were set in place to begin with. If you put a colored swoosh over the white mid panel, you end up with problems when you have a light color making the swoosh somewhat invisible
. So he made sure to color it black to avoid this
. We call that foresight.
Then with the SBB you have the awkward colored toe combined with the white midpanel. Here the swoosh is black, satisfying one rule but breaking the rule of the black based 1s by not having that splash of color (the swoosh
) sitting between and bridging the two colored ends of the shoe making the two ends look unbalanced to the eye. Amplified by the white panel.
I hope this helps explain why some of you are having a hard time with the colored swoosh. You dont like it because it goes against the rules of the design.
Black toes NEED a black swoosh
Black based 1s like Royals NEED a colored swoosh
not following these rules creates an imbalance which results in an eyesore.

The black and red colorway is interesting. I swear they've done mids in all of these though.

I'm actually an IT major bro so its funny to hear someone talk about usability/ design principles in a sneaker thread but you are spot on with a lot of what you are saying.These will be interesting. Official release info just coming out very close to rd makes me think these will be limited. I think red will be most available and yellow or green the most limited. I think stores will receive one or two colorways and these are probably men only?
Waiting to see more details but I’m going for red and yellow.

I really like the yellow personally. Would I prefer a black swoosh, probably. If need be, suede dye, a steady hand and a fair amount of time should do the trick.

I feel like either Jupiter or Saturn or Both used to be stars
you ever actually seen how far it is between jupiter and saturn to scale? ****'s intense

Then there's Saturn to Uranus and Uranus to Neptune
