this is ridicoulus...levis should have won...and eminem 4s lost to dmp wtf...dmps go for like 320 at most eminem over 2000+....how many eminem are out there ....like 4 if even
THIS IS COMPLETE AND UTTER HORSESHIT PERPETRATED BY HYPEBEAST ASS FAGGOTS VOTING FOR SHOES THEY THINK WOULD MAKE THEIR BITCH ASS LOOK THE COOLEST WALKING AROUND THE MALL.
Sorry maybe I wasn't paying attention but y isn't the grape 5s on here?
its an OG colorway. came out in 1990.
and '06.
Tokyo 5'$ to win it all.... They just too clean not to!!!! #$wagg
eminems out in first round?
WTF happen to the Em IV's!? That was a givaway. Cool grey's and Laneys are just classics, cant see any other non-og winning imo
The green bean 5s and Em 4s didn't make it? Wow that just ain't right.
Please like my comment,I'm lonely!
olympic 6's over thunder 4's?
yes.
Hit me up if you are looking for the Black Laser 4's in a size 10 or 10.5!
i'm mad the burgandy V's had to go up against the undefeated 4's...my 2 fave colorways and style of sneaker.....
alot of people are mad because they know certain sneakers resell for more than the winners in some catagories, now i dont know what to vote for , best looking sneaker or most significant ... i just go by what i like.....
raging bull V vs IV cool grey doesn't feel right.
WTF dmp's over eminem 4's!
how did the cool greys beat da ice blue 10's
10/16...I can understand that my tastes are different than the majority of the people but: 1) XII French Blue sucks if compared to V Green Bean 2) Would you kindly like to tell me what IV Oreo has so special? 3) Air Jordan IX always sucks, they are simply ugly! 4) IV Eminem defeated by VI Defining Moments is absurd... In Europe we have totally different meters of evaluation, that's for sure ;-) Please, don't take these words in a bad way. Respect!
i dont understand why the Eminem 2s & Ice Blues lost
plus the Eminem 4s too ? man .... fucking bullshit !
I'm going for the laneys all the way but realistcly the undftd 4s are going to probably win
Of course we're not going to agree with every sneaker that won. just like we're not pleased with some of the winners in the NCAA tournament BUT it's still enjoyable . No need to get all sensitive.
how do the tokyo 5's win by that big a margin, smh
how did the cool grey 11s win by that big of a margin? smh
Wuda liked to see ice blues and green beans win
DMPs over the eminems and cool greys over ice blues, WTF... C'mon Son.... Thats BS right there
Ur stupid sir dmp 6s shit get of ems nuts
I can believe it, the ix premio and the i levis are out... Final:vi DMP vs. Iv lightning
Not shocked. But I was really bummed to see the Green Beans out by French Blues.. Big mistake.
Me too, just because they got knocked off, i'm wearing my pair to work 2morrow
shame that regardless of whats heat in that bracket, they'll lose to cool grey 11's. i feel the same way about my beloved chrome 8's having no chance against the oly 6's
those chrome 8's are horrid!!!
NONE OF YA'LL ARE EVEN SNEAKERHEADS!!! HATE MY COMMENT BUY Your "HEAT" IS WACKK!!! Thunder should've made it & so should the LEVIS!! Man you all disappointment me the Cool Grey 9s are ugly! They come out in November. The olympic 6s come out in July.. WHOEVER VOTED AGAINST THE THUNDER YOU DON't KNOW HEAT
what does the release date have to do with anything at all???? the altitudes already retroed the cool grey 11s already retroed the laneys are about to come out what does that have to do with the shoe being hot or not?
DMP 6'S OVER DA EMINEM 4 ...DA SNEAKER GAME IS OVER
You sir are autistic those fukkin 6s shit all over the em 4s get off his cock
Get off emms nuts them dmp are fire
AND HOW DID THE COOL GREY 9s BEAT THE FUCKING LEVIS!! Obviously most of you don't know heat..
yea that is some bs the levis were tough
WHAT THE F**K!! THE THUNDERS ARE OUT OF THIS!!!! THE OLYMPICS ARE ALREADY BEING RELEASED!!!!! AND THE POWDER 10s OUT TOO!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did the DMP 6's beat the Eminem 4's!?!?! And how did the UDFTD 4's beat the Burgundy 5's?!?!
i dont get how everyone loves the burg's so much
Bkuz the dmp 6s are fukkin dope
wow those DMP VIs was a upset... Eminem IVs way more rare and hotter.
Eminems mite be rare but there not hotter those dmp 6s are one of the sexiest on the planet
how did miros lose and bin 9s those are two of my favorite shoes wtf
you sound like u have some terrible taste in sneakers
Those green beans shoulda won all day an night. Wack as hell.
Major disappointments and its only round 1. I swear if those cool grey XIs win theres no point in having tournaments. People seem to be fooled and blinded by the mess that happens near every Christmas with the XIs. I love jordans and everybody has their personal favs but it seems lately like the XIs are holy and any criticism or unfavorable views towards them makes you a hater or having no knowledge of jordans or not a "true" sneakerhead......
cool greys ar ok there way over hyped
