I wish I could see the BT XXXI before I have to make a decision on the shattered backboards. Theoretically, I'd like to pick only one, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up with both. [emoji]128532[/emoji]

This has to be the smartest Jordan release tactic ever since the Retro.

Grab a pair off NDC next week. Hoop in them. Decide if you like them. If not, use generous NDC return policy and send back.

QFT, I have a DS pair of Banned 31's, but havent had the chance too hoop in them because my hooping rotation is a little out of control at the moment. I am still catching up on older models that I've had for a while. Just broke in my 29 lows I got from NDC on clearance last week, and I want to wear my 31's casually a few times before I take them to the court.
In the meantime, I look to everyone elses take. Based on what I think of the 29 and 30, and what people have said about these so far, I am optimistic. I think I'll like these. Probably break them out next weekend.

Played ball in these on Wednesday in Terminal 23, they are GREAT to play ball in. I loved them.

Slipped too many times when I balled in them. I guess these are ok if all you do is don't move when playing ball.

This
There's also been a handful of posts about what people think about them for hooping, and it looks like there's more positive then negative

i'm assuming its not direct as the fine prints released without the black/white 1s (that dropped last year i think)
Yo, they have a counter of all the 31s they are releasing..................which you can also consider as a counter for the Retro OG 1s that will be releasing soon.

So good enough for Westbrook, Leonard, and Melo but not for you and some of the other shoetubers? Interesting.

Its really early to tell, but it would appear the counter is only counting models that released with a corresponding Retro 1, as it's only showing the Banneds and Shattered Backboards. Rios, USAs and Fine Prints aren't shown. I guess we'll see what happens when the Black Toe 1s/XXXIs drop.

I wonder if they're going to do the same thing with next year's release and the Jordan 2? Underrated shoe in my opinion.

One can only hope. I hope the XXXII is fire.

So true. Pretty well executed too. Kinda like CDP but you don't have to buy both shoes and you can mix and match CWs

I already got the Banned, want the SBB, will most def want Chicagos and Royals too and it will make me super broke.

Just noticed something. In AJ 1 thread people talk about old, new and upcoming 1's. In this thread they talk about how the AJ 1 may or may not be released with the XXX1. Believe it or not retros are sold as casual shoes now. XXX1 is the latest in tech and a true "performance" shoe and very little is said about it. Just a thought.

The money makers for JB are the retro releases. Has been that way for a long time. The XXXI's retail for $185. Most retros are $190+ and don't have the tech that these do.

Just picked up the Fine Print's today:

Are the Fine Print's pretty rare? Only one store out here even got them..

So we should continue to talk about retros in this thread instead of XXX1's because JB makes more money and there is less tech? Is that your point?
