SWEET 16 VOTING – EAST REGION
[1] – Air Jordan V ‘Laney’ vs. [5] Air Jordan IV ‘Oreo’
MATCH-UP #1 – The Air Jordan V ‘Laney’ was a Retro+ colorway inspired by Michael’s High School, and easily cruised to the Sweet 16 Round by handily defeating its eighth-seed opponent. It’ll go against the Air Jordan IV ‘Oreo’ in a contest that pits two of the more aged Air Jordans in the entire Tournament. Will we have an upset on our hands?
[3] – Air Jordan IV ‘Black Laser’ vs. [7] Air Jordan V ‘Tokyo23′
MATCH-UP #2 – The 7-seed Air Jordan V ‘Tokyo 23′ is riding an immense wave of momentum, as it cruised into the Tournament after the Play-In Round and surprisingly blew out the Eminem II in the First Round. Does the online-exclusive Air Jordan IV ‘Black Laser’ have enough power to halt the Air Jordan V ‘Tokyo 23′ to a complete stop?
laneys are one of my favorite 5s, but i had to go with the oreos on this one. black lasers are an obvious pick. like stepping on holy ground.
LMAO have you ever held the Tokyo V's in person? I highly doubt it, otherwise you wouldn't be saying their quality isn't on point. I guess everyone on here likes to bash shit because it's too expensive for them. Pathetic
ah the corny oreo nickname smh a sneaker that never sold when it dropped back in 99 went on sale to $50 cause its just blah imo but of course hypebeast give it a lame nickname and call it there grail and all of a sudden when it drops itll sell out. anyway Laneys & Laser iv
Oreos & Lasers. Tokyo's are ugly af to me. I dont like the all yellow. Laneys are gorgeous but Oreos are so underrated and forgotten. That leather is beautiful !
Tokyos are trash compared to heat like the Lasers 4's...when the Lasers dropped they were $175 retail back in the day...store managers were marking the price up to $250 in my area on release day.
Get your chips up, maybe you can afford ah pair non sneaker head a$* chin! That's the worth of em....get ya kicks up, learn about Jordans learn the history and where the releases at...fuk boy they didn't come out in the states how much you expect them to be? Smh u tripping....
Didnt I been said Tokyo 5'$ no swagg a$* niggaz in the last post and y'all all hit dislike???!!! 0_0 now y'all the same niggaz Dick riding!! Foh
How the hell you guys get the white laser and black laser mixed up?..The black laser 4 was NOT an online exclusive..Morons..
LOL at Laney vs. Oreo. At the Footaction I worked at the oreo's were still on the clearance rack when the Laney's dropped and the Laneys sat so long I can remember the net yellowing. I kinda liked the Laney's back then, but never like any of the IV's without the netting.
This is really pretty funny and ridiculous when you step back and look at it. But props for the passion. Oreos and Tokyos for me.
