Jordan XIV Black Toe - November 2, 2024

[freshxup24]

Any size 10 out there? I know these sold well, but figured I'd ask.

I went with a 9.5 and they are just too tight, I went with 9.5 laneys and those were right on the money but these are a bit tighter

My pair landed, don’t see a major issue with the side panel material.

Happy with the purchase, we’re onto Cincinnati baby.

The side material is the least of my issues with these. Just a lazy *** retro when they’ve been doing at least somewhat better on a lot of others.

Oof!
Not to pile on, but it looks AND 1sh.
Almost like a Tai Chi

My pair came in today. I agree with everyone saying the quality could be better.

Mine haven't come in yet, but:

As "performance" basketball shoes (which the OGs originally were), shouldn't the side panels be stiff on these for athletic support? Granted it's not 1999, but I still see guys in the NCAA and in high-level prep schools playing in retro Js occasionally (why they do I have no idea), and I don't think you want soft, supple leather on the sides of your shoes if you're making quick cuts, do you? Not defending the quality of the build, but I would understand it.

Aesthetically- I like my pair. But my TTS is a pinkie toe killer. Haven’t owned XIV since about 2006. Will either look to half size up or let this release go

I unDS'd these yesterday and they weren't as comfy as I originally thought. They look great, but very stiff.

That’s unfortunate. Aren’t these supposed to have full length zoom? Is the insole PU?

I always appreciate this guy's comparisons.

He’s a super cool dude too

Nah forefoot an heel zoom. but the forefoot aint larger like the ogs. The lebron 22 tech is closer to the og than these

I'm glad I passed on these. Not because of the quality or anything like that, but Jordans in general are getting too expensive. To top that off, the KD 4 Christmas comes out in another 9 days. I look forward to copping those for sure!
