Old school vs Nike?

That's what I was trying to get at when I was talking about the yellow color of the shoeand the Laker jerseys this season.

For ****s sake, if you guys want to really split hairs, I said those aren't Lakers colors--as in the same shade of gold (yellow) and purple. It's obviously a Lakers-inspired COLORWAY that, if worn by a Lakers member, will work just fine. But the colors on the shoes are not an exact match to what Lakers colors are, unless, as someone implied, this year's uniforms are really THAT yellow. As in, as yellow as this shoe. And if that is the case, all that means to me is Nike effed up the uniforms, too LOL

You know they changed the hue of yellow right? They aren’t the same shade of gold as the before.

I'm liking this yellow colorway. I wonder if the material is easy to clean since it seems to be porous. I would imagine the yellow would show lots of dirt. I hate to say it but I'm not jumping for joy with the $200.00 price tag. Right now ill cop what i can when they go on discount and only certain CW's will i buy. IF the BL's release, I'm 100 percent in.

Interesting. As the skin color gets lighter so does the shade of yellow.

I did not realize this year’s uniforms became THAT yellow. And I’m a diehard fan who watches every game. Like I said, I haven’t seen this year’s unis up close in person. It’s disappointing they went so far that way. Shoes still look like crap lol

I didn’t realize it until I got my Kuzma Jersey In and it was hanging side by side with my Kobe Jersey

Still kinda mad they made us wait half the season to give us the purples. Think the debuted them in December

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

Seriously though, why did they have to put that light purple on the back?

Every snarky designer out there knows that if they can sneak in a little "f*** you" to the consumer and get away with it, they'd go for it...lol

lmao.

And Nike shouldn't have done that. Lakers even questioned Nike about it.

 

[alchemist iq]

It's suppose to be golden yellow or banana yellow?

 

[marlee]

If those are real, which they are not, would be awesome. Hoping they do a Bruce Lee, Grinch and Chaos colors. Would buy them all. Thanks for pics tho.

 

[Magic33]

Wow

They look to me, but I would rather have them gold and black. Pass on the gold and purple.

 

[drisk34]

Nike definitely changed the yellow hue that used to be used on Lakers jerseys. They did the same thing with the Celtics green jerseys. The change was much more noticable at the begining of the season, now ive just gotten used to it.

 

[kobe824]

Good god that yellow CW is fire, wish I was rich enough to cop at retail *sigh* #BrokeBoiProblems

 

[mindmarathon]

I had high hopes for the 360s
The translucent outsole is great at first and after each wipe BUT after 3-4 steps, you’re on ice. I play on the average to moderately clean indoor courts that most of us would have access to

Anybody know if Nike is making all of the yet to be released colorways with the translucent outsole??. The only thing missing from this shoe being a performance beast is the traction, it is just not consistent.

Everyone always complains, the truth of the matter is this, no matter what shoe I see someone wearing to hoop in, they all have this in common: they all wipe the bottoms of their kicks several times a game.

That probably is too much yellow for my taste. May cop, but not for $200.

I agree. Too much yellow. May cop later, i'll wait, and cop more AD Mid that I have my eyes on that im missing.

Also, I think they will sit tbh. That's a lot of yellow for some people. But I am a sucker for the purple and gold, so I won't take that risk of hoping they end up on discount

I think they will sit as well, as too much yellow. I like them, but i'll wait.

Too much yellow for me but they are nice. I really hope they put some solid soles on some.

Yes. Agreed on both points.

 

[mindmarathon]

Only thing i dislike is the red logo and stitches.

What color would you prefer the red logo and stiches be?

 

[superstarlord]

2/3 Mamba Day deliveries, the other protros got held up apparently

 

[Bert.]

those yellows look terrible

no info on other color ways to come?

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I don't think so
