The blue is a strange shade in person. Saw them at FNL.[/quote]

Monitor settings will have some bearing on this opinion but those above look almost like a university blue on my screen but in person it is more of a photon blue maybe? I would suggest seeing in person before buying.

Looks like the worst colorway to me. XXXI deserves a better swan song than this

I'm really trying to figure out Nike and Jordan. They literally put out these subpar colors, don't make the newer Jordan shoes available for ID, and give these great player editions to players that are much better than what we see.
I get players want exclusives, but something about kids being able to wear what their favorite player wears on court is missing in this generation. I'm all for times changing, but that's just a bad idea. That's why kicks sit forever these days and retroes sell out. Maybe they're just setting up for future retroes, but I don't think people are going to remember "oh Jimmy Butler wore these against ___" "LeBron wore these when they played ___"
Just my two sense.

Meanwhile people will be running over each other and paying crazy resale process to buy the Jordan 1's in the exact same color :x
I don't like blue shoes but that's a good looking shoe, they did a great job of making them like the Blk/Blue Jordan 1's. The same as they did with the Bred 31's.

The Bred and Royal 1s have the same color blocking, but the Bred and Royal 31 have different color blocking so they couldn't have done a great job on making both like the 1s.Meanwhile people will be running over each other and paying crazy resale process to buy the Jordan 1's in the exact same color

Don't even think the blue is the same

The blue's aren't identical but the 1's are the inspiration, the shoes look the same.

Looks like solid outsole didn't fix the traction problem via youtube reviewers. Stating these are "dangerous" to play in. Not a good look.

I have three pairs of the 31's and I've never noticed the horrible traction. I play on dusty floors most of the time and everyone slips. I'll have to play in them again soon to see if it's really an issue.
True, but they both have the inspiration from the 1's so when people say they'are "Horrible" or they "Hate" them I'm like how?

these combine the greatness of the Jordan 1 and Space Jam XI, must be great.

Correct! Only review of the solid outsole up so far I think? I take it with a grain of salt, but either way, their sample size works for me to take from that. Same court, different shoes back to back. Best way to notice differences.

Yeah, the blue is too overwhelming on the XXXI. It's OD.

I just have a hard time trusting them boys. I'd probably trust almost any other YouTube channel over them actually [emoji]128514[/emoji]

They weren't wrong about the translucent outsoles. Wish I would have watched their review before copping the Michigans.

I never noticed the slippage, I might wear a pair today to see if it's true. I never noticed.

[emoji]128514[/emoji] Man i like their video ideas like the versus vids and testing the sole on the black cats. It's just I can't take wear testers seriously when they're trash. See nightwing
Is it because it failed their squeak test?
Lol, they definitely pass the squeak test though, they did mention that
