I swear JB could retro both of these shoes bi-yearly & I would cop every release.
❤
Happy Holidays....
Each with a High production release every 5 years and stagger the top 5 og’s so we get one of them each year.

3god part of what makes diors so awesome is the simplicity. i agree the clear sole is not good.
on another note, i just wanna say unc2chi is criminally underrated in terms of quality AND colorway. ppl are gonna beast over those so hard once they realize they slept
Most definitely. Leather feels so nice on those.

I can’t speak on the quality, though they do LOOK pretty damn good quality, so I’ll take your word for it. Based on the quality alone, if they really are all that in terms of quality, then I’d agree with you that they might be highly sought after in the future for that reason specifically. As for their colorway/color blocking, and the idea that that’s the specific reason as to why people are gonna “beast” over them in the future, I personally doubt it. IMO they’ll always be viewed by most as the “not quite” Top 3s, and I personally don’t even like the Top 3s. Even if their quality is VASTLY superior to that of the Top 3s, the Top 3s have the advantage of coming out first, using the mismatched color blocking (which I’m not a fan of, but has become popular, and the shoe will always be tied to the use of that trend of that time), and while I’m not a big fan of BIG SECTIONS (unlike small hits like on the True Blue 3s) of any shades of red, black, and blue all being on one single shoe, I think the UNC2Chis would be generally viewed as more attractive if they used Royal Blue, as opposed to the UNC Blue. If I had to choose one, I’d pick the UNC2Chi over the Top 3s ten times outta ten (I don’t do mismatched 1s at all), but outside of the idea that the quality is one day revered similar to SBB quality, I think the reasons I laid out are why they’ll never really get that hyped or “beasted” over.

I’ve been seeing Court Purples a lot lately, they look good on foot. Those light purple laces have definitely grown on me. I probably won’t UNDS them until my LA to Chi are beat up. At this rate, that won’t be until 2024 or later.

Haha. Same. My Court Purples (2.0s) are probably gonna collect all the dust for a while, as they’re not getting picked over my LAtoChis ever. One day they’ll see the light of day.

It’s the Day after Christmas 2013 and 2017 did anyone have any money left for these? Do the Reverse Flu Games belong in this batch? What socks y’all rock with these?

Damn I forgot about the Gamma 12s. Would've been a home run if the black was leather and not suede.

Those Gatorades are one of the worst 1s of all time... all of them. The Balvins May be the only ones worse.

Not sure what’s worse... the shoes or that you gave the shoes a theme song.

Not that you had credibility, but you just lost any that you might have had. There have been much worse Jordan’s over the years. You show your lack of knowledge concerning Jordan’s. That’s why no one on this board can take this
seriously.
