Wish they actually explained it in the link. Typical click bait.

I think this is a terrible direction for JB to go. Trying to slvage the Jordan line. Smh.

Kind of reminds me of the Fusions, but without the AF1 soles.

I always thought it would be interesting if they gave us sillououtes of retros but outfitted with current technology elsewhere.

These are hideous, what happened to Jordan Brand? How do you go from designing some of the greatest looking sneakers of all time to making garbage like this?

I hope its literally an updated and well made flyknit 1 with a classic looking but high performance sole. Slap a black leather swoosh on them for contrast like the kobe 11 ftb and we're good. Not like the Obama 1s though. I'd like to see the toe rand, lace rand and heel to be noticeably thicker than the rest instead of the one piece look the obamas had. Just start remaking the classic originals again every year but modernized. Start over. I think I speak for everyone when I say there hasn't been a newer model since the 23 thats been 'ok'. We're getting somewhere with the 29 and 30 but they aren't cutting it. So why keep trying to design another classic? Just update them instead. Stop wasting time with trying to come up with new classic. Its not going to happen. You already have the best designs and blueprints in your archive, JB. Just build them with whats available now that you would've used if you could when making them back in the 80's and 90's. 

Kind of like the Jordan 1 alpha I guess just not ugly and perforated. And with the flyknit 2 to follow and not just a one off thing. A flyknit V would be ridiculous.

They're watching....

Just hire me JBros, I'm in Oregon. I can help you.

...I had a dream last night where I was flying 1st class and Tinker was sitting next to me. To kill time I sketched out a Chicago 1 for him from memory. It was spot on. As always. I know he didn't design those but still...

It's clearly a photoshop dude

Signed up for the reveal. Curious to see how the 30... I mean 31 is all about

Staff calm down,that is not the final design.I was thinking just like you.I was about to be upset myself.Hopefully them designing the new Jordan's after each older model.Will improve in the casual look category.Because the last few newer models have been hideous looking.Older Jordans never go out of style.Because look wise they where ahead of its time.Thats why no other basketball shoe has ever came close to them.Im talking about casual appeal.Its almost like they said forget how the shoes look.Just make them with the best materials for basketball support.But what JB for Jordans and and Nike for LBJ have forgotten.Is that a shoe will sell more,and become more popular.If the she looks good of court as well.Thats something they've totally forgotten the last few years.Thats as far as the new models goes.Just like someone said on here earlier.I would like a good looking Leather Nike check on these.Since it's based off of the 1.We should get it.But we know we're not.This can go 50/50.People are interested in these.Based off the concept alone.Its possibility it can be successful.But there track record from the last couple of years.Shows me they could care less about how the shoes look.Niketalk could pick designers for a new Jordan model every year.And Nike could tell us we want the new model based off of every older model.Create it with a newer version look.We have a voting system about which 1 is release.It would be good money.Nike is living off of all of there old designs.Not there current ones.
