NOW HOPEFULLY THEY MAKE A NON-HYPERFUSE Version and just use full grain leathers or that MESH(on the back). That'd be a crazy looking shoe if it primarily consisted of that mesh.

They're really... something, that is one thing you can say for sure.
.
Undecided still.
That colouway isn't great but they could still look ok in the right cw.
Outsole on this particular one should be white. Also, the red is really dull for some reason, brighten the hue more.
Actually white outsole, clear air unit, and black lining and you've got your self a decent little homage to away Air Zoom Generations.

well bring on the V2
I have no interest in even photoshopping these. At least they will most likely be comfortable

I'm always amazed on peoples take on the line as a whole.
AZG is one of my favorite shoes of all time, especially perfomance wise.
I like the 9, give it time and people will come around.
I don't mind 6s as much as some of you do, I wouldn't mind to see that many colorways again though...

Perfect...The 8 and 4s are by far the dopest aesthetically....7s are perfect and the 3s are underrated...I'd put the 9s behind the 3s for now until I see some smokin colorways..but if the 9 gets on I.D. I'd put it over the 3 with ease.

This shoe is very interesting. I see a lot of familiarity with the Hyperfuse 2011; I like to see a signature shoe stand on its on a little more.
That being said, I think a lot can be done with it...The 180 bag and zoom forefoot setup leaves a lot left to be desired casually, but is my favorite set-up for actually playing. Colorways can do wonders, patiently waiting for more...In the meantime I plan to make up some of my own with these new pictures

Folks in the other thread seem a little more down on these
I like them, Breds are mine if they change the mid-sole to white. Can't wait to see more cw's.

This is a bit crazy/ I feel people fell into the lull of "basic is better" with the past few lebrons and even kobes, where they had Uppers resembling much of nothing. Minimal layers. Without flywire here or there on the 8s, you really had NOTHING going on. A design we all would've laughed at years ago. Now it's okay to like that, which is fine. Many shoes like some GPs or the past hyperflights/ultraflights had very minimal uppers... They really went in a whole new direction here. They finally had fans on board with a truly simple no flaws design in the 8, 7, 6, and even the 5. And now this is just so futuristic and out there.. I don't want to say it's on a jordan 10 to jordan 11 jump because before that, A few jordans had a futuristic look mixed in.
I'm sure the discussions went long and hard about how this one is so much different than the rest... Colorways will need to save this shoe. It really does have a wrestling shoe vibe. This one should've been the lebron 5. Instead there is a solid 3 years of simpler designs, then this one.. The backlash should be there. But maybe this drastic change is for the better.. It looks like a performance beast.

Nike leave these OFF ID. ID is cool but you don't want your main Guy's sig everywhere like that. Leave that for the team Brons. Why buy what's released if you can just soup it up to your liking for $35 more?

I was expecting worse, so not all bad.
Will get a pair to hoop in, just don't see these being worn casually.

Forgot about the PS's and versions.
In that case
Looks: 2> 7PS > 8V1&2 > 3 > AZG > 4 > 7 > 8PS > 6 > 5.
Wish the PS had been the actual 7. They're actually solid performers too. Though I've only had a couple runs in mine so far so their still breaking in.
8v1's and v2's are essentially the same looks wise. The v2 is essentially just a special mesh edition. .
The 9 definitely isn't climbing past the AZG no matter what colourways they come out with.
