First, i loathe the highs so this post is strictly dealing with lows- specifically 8/9. While I do agree that overall the 9 EM compared to the 8 just based on colorways is a disappointment…actually a big disappointment. Out of the what? the 7/8 color ways we've seen so far for the most part I think we can mostly agree they've been just overdone and confusing. I do have a few I like (easters, black/crimson-pink), but overall going from the great 8 color ways to the 9s we've seen has been poor so far. What keeps me around though and HOPING more EMs drop with some great color ways is the fact that the more I play in the few pairs I have the more amazing they are performance wise - on the court, and also for plyometrics, and gym use. I have like 10 pairs of 8s but I really won't play in them much anymore because the 9 - as it should - upgrades, and just outclasses them in multiple ways.
So like you said, while the fk lows look f'ing awesome, they will no doubt be limited and just a pain to get. Thus, I'm really hoping for some f'ing restraint with some upcoming EM color ways…pull back from some of these fugly concoctions they're putting together
Agreed. The colors mostly suck but performance wise the em lows are awesome. I might settle for the pop arts at some point but I do hold out hope that they come out with some more tone down colorways.
