No, they really did not. His 1.5 maybe. Everything else overall is forgettable.

That’s not a JB problem. Performance has been out of fashion for years now.

Performance wise Melo’s line is top tier but as we all know aesthetically they never hit besides the aforementioned ones we know of.
M9, M10, and M3 should def get a retro.

Let’s be honest,
Even if the shoes had the most amazing design, we wouldn’t wear them off the court

Younger kids seem to love wearing Kyries casually. Also, on the hypebeast side, aren’t FOG 1s technically a performance model?

says who? I wear Adidas Crazy explosives off court. I wear PG KD and lebrons off court? I don't wear Jordan brand at all. over priced and same shoes coming out over and over again.

I'm shocked by this.
People usually don't go to Jordan cause they don't pay for real, is this the biggest contract they've offered?
I would love to see the other offers from Adidas and Puma

Your right. I am simply going off personal interest more than an over all view. The Jeter was really the only shoe I bought non J sig.

I was wondering the same.
Maybe Puma threw money at Ayton and Bagley too soon, and should have held out another year.
And Adidas is probably more dependent on Kanye for basketball now than a basketball player.

Zion and Tatum the new faces of the signature model?
I feel like he might get the Blake Griffin treatment and get his own team shoe or jump on the Superfly models. I feel like the signature models maybe just not built for him.

I heard on the radio Puma offered a lot more but Zion dreamed of the Jordan brand

All this tells me is that Zion is obviously not into sneakers like that. If he was he would’ve known better not to sign with Jordan Brand. To me it was a clueless decision. Might as well had signed with UA or Adidas etc. if he was going any direction other than Nike.

^speaking from what angle here? JB’s 2018-19 performance line was amazing, Westbrook’s performed better than the 33s IMO. The UltaFlys, SuperFlys, Omegas and CPs were all solid performers. I’d put them against any other brand offerings.

He's speaking from the angle that he has no idea what he's talking about

Both of y’all are crazy lol. No athlete other than Jordan himself has had long standing success with JB. It’s his shoe. Zions shoes will never have their own popular identity with Jordan’s logo plastered on the side of it. Get off the dog food.

“Solid performers”?. You mean strictly on court right? All shoes mentioned here are trash if we’re talking about anything other than on court performance. None of these shoes matter in pop culture or for casual buyers who want to wear stylish, significant shoes. Great players have their own signature shoe (usually with Nike), period. Don’t be mad at me for stating the truth.

I look at it from this way. They paid him way more than I thought they would. Which is not even close to what Z could have gotten from other brands. So JBs pitch and concepts had to be enticing. If the brand would focus more on him instead of it always being about the Jumpman, along with a new fresh design, and play backing hype it could work. I am not saying Im in line here. Just kinda excited to see if they will actually capitalize on a good situation.

We’ll see. Hasn’t been done with another JB athlete to this point. I’ll give em the benefit of the doubt and hope they do.

So we’re just making stuff up now?
Reports are saying that annually it’s the richest rookie shoe deal ever:

Good for Zion that he will get all the retros he wants for free and get paid a ton to do so. I wish that happened to me instead of copping every pair for $200.
