Um, you just listed three pretty damn important aspects of this shoe.

"All black shoe"?   There is the cool grey in the shoe that stands out big time from the black and sets them off very nice.  It is #4 on the best colorways list.

It's #4 on YOUR best colorways list. That "cool grey" looks more like gun metal. As we know, Nike tends to use 5 different colors and call them the same thing (example: infrared). In my opinion, like I said before, the "Miami Nights" IXs looks more like a night in an empty bar with flickering neon lights. Where's the color? Where's the excitement I associate with a night in Miami? There's one vibrant color on that shoe, the bright pink laces. Take those away and it's a black/gun metal shoe with dark purple accents. Boring

. This is all opinion and I'm just explaining mine. I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying where I'm coming from and why the "Miami Nights" colorway doesn't get a Top 4 nod from me.

The big bangs will not reach south beach level.

Word. I guess I just think the Miami Nights colorway isn't what it's made out to be. When I imagine a "Miami night" I imagine lots of lights, lots of different colors. The Miami Night IXs scream empty bar with a couple of neon lights flickering, not Ocean Drive in Miami.

It might be me, so I could be stretching here but.....
How could a shoe nicknamed "Miami Nights" not be a black based shoe?
I'm willing to bet money that even in Miami.....aftet sun down it does get dark.
Miami NIGHTS = black based....Get it?

South beach 8s represent fun, sun & flamingos. Miami Nights represent bright colors & after hour fun via NIGHT TIME.

 

[Shwa3 Ma3]

Matter fact....that's why I could never understand when dudes misnamed those bright colored 8 lows Miami Nights.
What was so after hours about that bright #%@ shoe?

More like Miami on E-pills to me...

Glad JP cleared the mistaken nick name thing up thou....

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

good look on that Freegums video Sir, I was wonderin like crazy what was up with all the aligators in the design.

oh it aint only you good sir. sounds pretty spot on to me. now if tha flamingo's had a black base ........

 

[rocket]

IMO the Miami Nights 8 better exemplified a night in Miami. I never said the Miami Nights IX is bland because of the black base. I don't mind that. Maybe some color in the mid sole? Maybe some color in that woven side panel? Maybe some color in the lining? Idk it's just missing something for me.

Uh, you could do that with any shoe and get the same result

I can see these coming with the teal laces, don't see why they wouldn't

Um, you ever been to Miami? Ever went out at night in Miami? I've lived there for over 12 years, and you sir have no clue #!% you're talking about. The shoe is Miami. Miami isn't just bright neon lights. To me, the shoe is swank and sleek, just like the nightlife. Sophisticated with a Miami flair. Black blends with gunmetal, purple blends to to pink. And the pink check is 3M. All nice touches for the shoe. The low VIII's they dubbed as Miami Nights were

. I can't think of one spot in Miami that looks like that. Loud and annoying isn't Miami. Andre 3000 put it best - Sophistifunk. That's how I see Miami, and that's how this colorway is.

There's a ton of gear to match with this. Any charcoal grey polos with the purple horse logo, black with purple, hell I even have a Decepticons shirt that is charcoal grey with the old silver/purple logo. It all works...

  One I am not a reseller.

Irony?
Anyway, I don't see them going that high either.  Even when we still had no confirmation they were releasing in the US the prices were still low-mid 300's.  Only time will tell though



   Witnesskb24, where did I knock someone.  Knocking someone and calling things for what they are, are two different things homie.  As well read all of the convo.  As one can see we squashed that convo.  Now back to the shoes.  Thanks.  On another note thanks for revising this thread.

I get what you are saying Rocket, I wasn't knocking your opinion if you took it that way.  As for the "cool grey" comment, I myself consider them to be a darker grey, just calling them by the name on the box tag.  On the flywire (I mentioned this way back), the strands are the dark cherry (pinkish) color, which I said Nike should have made stand out even more versuse having it too subtle, which would have helped the shoe pop way better.
