We've adapted to tying our shoes since the Middle Ages.

False convenience with bad-faith pricing under the guise of innovation. Time to let it go, Nike -- you adapt.

 

[slaughterx]

These are... interesting.

 

[JumpmanATL7]

F the modesty. This is not cool. If they want cool just make the damn shoes in my avi available to the public.

Thank you. I want those mags so bad and I want to wear them not just have them as a collectible. I really hope they release again in numbers.

I think these would be so much better without the midsole lights. if they would just do og colorways with a cyborg upgrade I would buy, well maybe just one pair, I do think they are kinda neat but also kinda stupid, what would be dope is if they put all the tech dollars into to anti-yellowing icy soles and anti-yellowing mesh. we wouldn't need new pairs though right lol.. instead of five big ones for these make a 1:1 Og 11's with anti-yellowing soles and mesh I'll cop 2 pairs and not think twice.

How did this gentleman’s baby mommas momma get a pair of these, she work for the brand? Or will there be fakes out there (not accusing this person of having fakes)?

 

[staffsgtdignam]

I think they way overpaid for the technology of the lacing system and are trying to recoup on it. Limited runs kind of dictating that but, in any world, the only adapt worth 500 is the BTTF shoe.

None of us would think twice about buying a proper Adapt Mag retro for $500 retail.. That said, $500 for a new retro-based model is silly, even if they look nice.

I don’t think it’s scientifically possible to have non-yellowing, clear soles. Hence why clear soles are dyed different colors (even a slight blue for most icy soles nowadays).

Hope it hit

So you are telling me that we can launch men into outer space and land on other planets, but we cant develop a non-yellowing polyurethane? I bet NASA or basf already has non-yellowing or non-uv effected polyurethane.... any tinted soles are purely for aesthetics.

Unless they can develop a way to prevent oxidation in rubber materials, I’m not sure how they could possibly address this. They would likely have to develop some transparent polymer coating to prevent oxygen from getting into the rubber AND somehow not have that impact the wearability.That too, it would eventually wear down to the rubber so even that really isn’t a permanent solution.

Would've been pretty dope as snowboots, snowboarding or some.

[Magic33]

I don't think these are awful

The Jordan along the tongue should have been black

I wouldn't buy them, but they're cool. They're better than some mids they've released.

 

[Lee And His Sneaks]

Seriously don’t think NASA and their astronauts are concerned with yellowing apparel.

 

[tupac003]

I don't mind the concept. The colorway is ok...the price puts them out of my range, but if they ever do these in the Concord or Cool Grey colorway, I'd think about it.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Nike/JB really gonna sell people anything for any price.


I swear ya'll better not hype these last minute. We need to show them we better than this.

 

[kickvicisous]

I actually like idea of them trying to integrate new technology even though I prefer if they just made new models outright fornit but I understand sneaking it into to something that has a built in fan base already. That colorway does this thing no favors though my god

 

[perfectchaosrei]

You guys act like these are worse than the Jordan Air Force. 1 mashups

 

[mr23mj]

I’ll try for a pair

 

[howdythere]

I was gonna say the XI are officially dead but they got cool grey next year.

A shoe that sells a million pairs every holiday season is dead? Not even close.

 

[Kierris]

Niketalk is out of touch with reality. A lot of these dudes are narcissists who believe that just because they don't like something means it's dead.. JB is doing better now than it's ever done but let nt tell it, they are washed.

LOL Yeah, same as how some people think JB doesn't move loads of non-sig retros and that no one actually buys any Jordan-branded shoes other than the legacy models.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Hope I hit these

Gross

 

[deezrsackolishus]
