Russell Westbrook is debuting the Jordan XX8 tomorrow against the Nets
I cant even comment on how ugly this shoe is :biggums: :biggums:
Russell Westbrook has taken his fashion on court to a new level.

it looks like they took the idea of a turtle neck sweater and tried to make it into a shoe.
after taking a second glance, this shit honestly looks like something overly eccentric contemporary artists would wear

Looks like a rip off the "Glove", GP's old shoe.
As always, the AJ shoe has become irrelevant.

You got Nike shoes that uses the best lightweight breathable material.
Then you got these new Air Jordan's that are like a turtle neck wrapped around your foot. Those will be some sweaty ass feet. No air flow.

Not really, that material that creates the giant sock effect can be very breathable.

Shoes use to be white for home games and black for road games. Now they have team color shoes.
I can't wait to see the first player to rock those shoes in their team colors...:oldlol:
All blue or all green or all purple....:roll:

I guess Air Jordan shoes are going to the way of Michael's sense of style.
How MJ dresses today it comes as no surprise that his shoe evolves with his style. I'm sure MJ had input on design.
I pray Russell is gonna wear these unzipped. thats the only way it can be salvaged. dear god

the key to it is too never buy at full price, wait for sales or watch items on ebay on a regular basis

I thought they resembled something, just wasn't sure.
At first glance they do look ugly, and will undoubtedly look hideous with normal clothes on. But now that I see the Spike pic, they'd look kinda dope with the right uni on

They don't even make numbered Jordan's anymore

Meh, I actually think they're not bad, especially since its winter now. Roll it up to wear with your jeans, then roll it down as casuals with shorts. But it's probably going to be expensive as crap

They won't look bad with uniforms on. I think Michigan used to rock these if I'm not mistaken, and they looked kinda dope.

You're right, they seem to grow on me as well. They look very comfortable to ball in as well. And they do look way better with the zipper down.

I love the unzip look. I've never bought a pair of Jordan's ever and won't be buying these expensive ones but I'll be looking for some unique shoes/sneakers like these the next time I shop for kicks.

That's actually not that bad. Someone like Chris Brown could probably make that work with ease.

Jordan is done. Honestly, every shoe after the Jordan XIII looks like shit. CP3's are ugly, Wade had like one decent one. Melo's are good. Everything else is garbage compared to the Nike and Adidas shoes. Personally, my next bball shoes are going to be under armour.

This.
Plus his lead designer became a parody of himself. No longer had "it"
Much the same way MJ was the pinnacle of suave fashion in the 90's and now, everyone laughs at him.

lol the 1-14 are the best ones anyway, the retro releases and the new colorways make up for more than the newer shoes sales
There's always going to be new colorways and retro releases for classic Jordans, Jordan will remain king

That's how they're supposed to be worn to play tho. :confusedshrug:
Like I mentioned, they look miles better with a uniform on.
Oh, shit! Where did that OKC jersey/uni come from?
Is it an official alternate jersey?
P.S. they look very similar to those old Rochester/Cincy Royals jerseys.
