How da hell dem ugly olypic 6s make the cut
How did the Ray Allen 8`s got putout????????????????????????????????????????
word, so much better than those v's......
I know there's something wrong with this as soon as those garbage ass gay pride 6's win.
This is great! Its gonna get tougher to decide though!
almost correct in all of my choices
Those Beijing 6's are terrible. Easily the worst shoe in that group, maybe the worst out of all of them. But none of the other choices were THAT bad, even if they're not all the ones I voted for.
How do the Olive 5's not make it????? What about hitting the undefeated 4's on this list...
wow burgandy 5's over flint grey 12's! and i was suprised french 7's didnt get higher votes a shoe that the man himself donned on court. also the chambrays or the 14's should have got picked over the beijing 6's just my opinion tho
Looks like.4s are gonna dominate da brackets dis yr
Exactly one of the two shoes i voted for won in each group. Not a bad selection, it's nice to see that colorways didn't get voted on just because they're limited.
Am I the only one feeling those BIN 2s? I don't have them but they look so luxurious to me.
i got most my picks right but this is only the play-in round. show me the full bracket
agree with the picks minus those jordan olympic beijings r ugly how did they win lol
Fucking Stupid. The burgundy 5s suck ass. Wolf Greys, Tokyo 23, EA Laney and Quai 54 are all way better 5 colorways. No way they're ahead of DB 4s or Dave White 1s. Also the Thunder 4s over Bin 23 13s? seriously?
Burgundy 5's and Olive 5's are 2 of the illest 5 colorways
true
hype beast all new stuff ...you wouldn't like what you don't remember so it don't surprise me with your choices. you just started two years ago haha
except the laneys, 2000 release
Fair
how? the ray allen 8's run circles around the T23 5's. and any of the shoes in group 4 are better than those wack 6's...
wack this year to mee
First and The 2 finals will prolly be South Beach LeBrons and Concord 11s.. 2 pairs of sneakers none of ya can get
It's only Jordan's... Just the non-OG clorways
yeah me too homo
Too bad I have both of those...
haha everything I picked won I knew I wasn't the only one vote for ice x
wack ass picks
