ice blue X,Ray allen XIII,altitudes XIII for real sure...dont like miro's at all and to end french blue over beans....
ice blue's, ray allens, green beans and hands down Miro's they too sexy in my closet right now
I love Miro's artwork and I have the same name as him how could I not love those sneakers, just like I love Art.
1st -Cool Grey 11s are overrated to be honest. because their 11s a lot of people are going to vote w/ them. If i see someone rocking the Ice Blue 10s way more props to them then the 11s. 2nd -No knocks to the Ray Allens but the Lightning 4s are some of the best 4s ever created in my eyes. and some of the best sneakers in that colorway ive ever seen. Round 2 goes to the 4s only because it was a bad match up for the 13s. 3rd -Now i LOVE the AJ7s but the Miro's are just as ugly a sneaker as possible to me. but thats my opinion. Altitudes win....its like Kentucky facing NC State 4th -French Blues lose to the Green Beans....i dont think anyone could argue that. the green beans are better looking in every way. French Blue colorway should only be on the 13s.
Agree those ice blues are sexier but id never knock the cool grey 11s because there pretty dope but never eat the 10s agree with you everywhere else except the Miros are nice they might have a little too much going on but they pull it off there more for show than to wear
you kept it real about the Ray v. Lightning....I like wh/grn better than blk/yellow that's what it came down to for me
I voted for the Ice Blue Xs for the upset...dont get me wrong i love XIs, but I think the Cool Grey XIs are just an all grey shoe. nothing much to it.
It's funny people bad talking cool Greys, but probably went ape crazy to get them. That's when you know this shit be off.
the craziness gonna come later when the black and gold DMP 6s take on those em 4s ...weak ass eminem 4s get eaten by the dmp 6s all day everyday
I wouldn't be surprised if the ice blue X were to pull it off. I voted for them to me it's the better looking shoe
I will be really disappointed if the Miro's beat the Altitude. Besides that, I'm pulling for the Green Beans all the way though I know they won't make it past next round when they're put up against the Cool Greys.
Cool grey, Ray Allen, Altitudes, Green beans. And I'm not hating on the Lightning IV, but XIII's are my favorite shoes ever. I'd vote for any colorway of that shoe over any colorway of anything else. I've been stuck on XIII's since middle school.
I love XI but I don't like cool grey anything. Ice blue X, the two XIIIs are my vote for this round also. Finally, French Blue XII. Very classy looking XII and one of those Jordans that can pull off any color and still seem classy & sporty at same time.
Wow I thought the lightning 4's wouldve been a no brainer over the plain ray Allen's but I guess ppl were having trouble
it was hard. Thats my favorite colorway on that 10. but i gotta go with the cool greys. The altitude is the best of the bunch tho.
