$250
dem shittz look like something they wore in a star war movie ! lol
dark vader jordans!
i feel like those could be fopotball shoes, just throw on some fuckin spikes and your good. You already got the ankle brace with that damn zipper
Put some high heels on them n strippers will be all over these they look like boots anyway I wouldn't buy it for 150 what made them think 250 is ok get the f&%* outta here JB
strictly for ball as i give props to the supposed high-tech materials and light weight. If i see someone rockin these tryna be fresh or saying yea i got mags son then ill die lmao. Bottom line: good for ball. but that $ tag is steep as hell.
@JManSam I think we've got the Lebron X to thank for that price (look how the price on D Rose's shoe jumped). It's like, "Oh, you'll pay $270? Check this out..." That's game.
Not Bad... need to see more...
JB gave up
Why are these being called the Air Jordan XX8 and not the Air Jordan 2013? Thought JB said they weren't numbering them anymore.
@Steelo_Brown thay are too ugly so they wanted to save them somehow
@Steelo_Brown sales my friend sales
It's clear whats going on here. After this is the XX8 lite, and then the XX8.5 and then the XX8 lifestyle. Y'all suckaz if you fall for this.
why though? they could've just made the shoe look like that without it being zipped up. looks like an outsole attached to an ankle brace. He said fck it we know they will buy them anyway
That's a mean midsole, but it looks like Tinker is going for the dress shoe look again. Time for new inspiration.
seen these unzipped, not feeling these at all! even if these are designed for balling and not street wear, they're still hideous to me! and its 250 dollars, nah no way, i'll wait till they modify these! what was tinker thinking when he came up with these
@dopeman978 No basketball shoe was ever designed for "street wear". They were all made to hoop in. That is not an excuse for a shoe being ugly. It's just what dumb asses these days use as an excuse to waste money on ugly ass shoes.
...these are designed for performance not street wear. In other words: BALLERS ONLY.
@umdaman I guess all the other J's weren't designed for "performance not street wear"? Shut that stupid ass shit up. All the J's that are "Retro's" now where designed for balling and believe it or not, people actually balled in them.
@Gusto: sucko my dicko... LoL!
@Gusto: C'mon man. You can do better than that. By the way,i came real close to being your daddy . Your moms didn't tell you we used to mess around. She almost swallowed your lame ass.
@umdaman I bet you would like that faggot. Probably have some dude pealing off your tight ass jeans and pink foams right now
sole is on point but idk about the rest got to see how they look with other colors
man these are horrible!!! i stop buying J's after the XVI's. everything else after that were pure garbage!!!
zipped they just look really weird. unzipped, they look pretty cool with the logos and the green popping up thru the opening.
they looked better unzipped.
They actually look dope wit da zipper down it has a 2/3 logo on the sides makes em look cool
now they bitting off UA, lol
@cnow1983 That's the first thing i thought when i seen em zipped. The problem is that there aint no damn support. the UA are essentially built-in ankle braces, these are essentially built-in sauna suits.
Another view! reminds me of the Payton Gloves.

I guess Russell Westbrook is getting the D.Wade treatment. Sign to Jordan Brand, be the one to wear a shoe that looks horrible, but probably performs great. Get your own signature shoe that looks just as bad, is overpriced and sells horrible. Jump ship for Li-Ning.
@BiscoeTheBoss lol bait and switched his ass.
Complete rip from the payton gloves. These are wack.
pretty ill to me
lol. when it's a retro all you lemmings will be in line to cop them.
@Big_Infinite and ur fake ass will be in line 1st, campin out & shit... fuckin fraud lol
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite change your name troll
Let's hope Russel Westbrook doesn't break his ankles in these. That would be very bad.
They can't be fuckin serious
The soles look nice. But doesn't the shoe look unfinished in a way? Like they gave up and just through some scraps on the top.
Just give up already. Please!!!! I don't see why these dudes keep signing with JB. Just stay with NIKE
Just because you can, Tinker, doesnt mean you should.
R u serious WTF is this it dnt even look lik a sneaker
@ToonGriffeyJr many kicks in the past didn't look like sneakers and now we all love them. that's been said - THEY'RE UGLY!!!
I need to see more pics of it before I can have a valid opinion but first impression is just 'wtf are those?' Oh well, might grow on me
