If you are referring to my comments, then you answered your own question. The VIIs are better. Copping a pair of birthday IVs is not the VIIs. I also was making a comment about the reason why Nike didn't release the XI inspired VIIs. Stating that due to Jordan brand not wanting it, BUT the charcoal is exactly liek the Jordan VII charcoal.

i personally and honestly think..... a player with a sz 14 and up shoe cant make it dope.....

Jordan was a 13/13.5

his foot looked proportioned to his body sz.

this seems like a shoe you will have to see in person to really get a feel for it. the pictures aren't doing it justice.

Beautiful Shoe. When do these drop again?

 

[tha real a2thamos]

The VIII is lookin up, I always end up wanting the first colorway of the Lebron and regret not gettin it.....still will wait for a price drop

 

[mrdozo]

Some of the colorways look nice, but this shoe literally looks huge. Massive, like freaking elephant feet. I wear a size 11.5 and this shoe willmake my feet look like a14. If only these colorways were on the 7's.

[foreverdecember21]

Wow i havent been a sneaker thread in a GOOD min
Things that i just wanna say

• %%+$ LBJ & HIS BRAND FOR STILL PUTTIN OUT Blue/Orange kicks
  
   and yall callin them "Knicks c/w" 
  
• 
   looks like this thread didnt miss a step from the Lebron 7 thread (Vol2)
• Those Miami Vice are catchy .. but theyre trash at the same time.. they look off to me (AS 7 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.. those)
• Word to Fred.. last year i use to post alot of ++! (under a diff username) 
• Kobe vs Lebron deal still going on
  
• Kobe > Bron ( i came to the realization of that this summer 
  
  
  
  
  )
• Dudes bickering about wat grown men wear then a person who wears the shoe comes out to defend his "love" for shoes 
  
• 8s are TRASH
• Kobe 6s are trash 
• Cliche $%% thread smh

Peace.

So they really setting up bracelet handouts on friday for a midnight saturday realeas... 

Why cant nike just leave it as a regular walk in release.. and Im saying nike cause they in charged of this release at this spot. Hopefully this changes.. 

 

[steve cash]

this is random, not sure if anyone else brought it up but why are they making "Knicks" colored shoes?

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]

I'm hoping it's to "make up" for not dropping the HWC colorway last year....i'm pretty damn sure the Heat won't be wearing Blue/Orange jerseys this year.

Sorry for not knowing what ur talkin about, but shoe is goin to need a bracelet to cop

?

 

[drewdioxin]

Anybody else wanna shed light on this bracelet bs?

 

[robsheedwallace]

Cali J,
Yea they make you line up like little kids on a Friday night. Hand out bracelets and take your name with size. Then on release dat you go back and get your shoe. If you don't have a bracelet, you stuck.

 

[executive76]

Did JB stop making Bulls colored shoes when Mike played for the Wizards?
Did Nike stop making ORL colored shoes when Penny went to PHX?

 

[chitown4eva]

those charcoals

 

[outlaw2j]

they are not meant to be the knicks colorways. cleveland wore blue and orange throwback jerseys a few times and lebron had his shoes made in the same color to match and it became a popular colorway so they continued to make them in his new releases. people started calling them the knicks colorway cuz its the same blue and orange as the knicks colors.
