I haven't posted a reply for a while... but i couldn't resist this...
1st- people ARE entitled to their opinion...
2nd- objectively speaking... the history behind the shoe is reason enough.... (Jordan heads correct me if I'm wrong with the details, i DON'T want topass myself as a Jordan trivia expert or anything like that)
It was in some way a redemption shoe...
MJ wore it during the play-offs after his 1st comeback... he wore it when the ball got stolen from him by derrick Anderson....
and he wore it a year later when they beat all competition and regained the title.
It Is the benchmark for subsequent "modern" shoes to come out...
because it pioneered the use of carbon fiber, ballistic mesh, spring plates (as opposed to shank plates), extensive use of patent leather ( and not just foraesthetics.. it was a sort of stability rand for cuts and slashes)
and aesthetically... it was the break through shoe that started the "formal Aesthetic, that is now commonplace in athletic shoes... not just basketball.
it was the 1st of the four consecutive shoes his airness wore during the second 3peat.
3rd- this not as technical as the previous reasons i sighted...
The shoe just looks FREAKING AWESOME!!!!
