I like Jordans but I also like lattice fencing, is there anything for me?
Oh, it turns out there is.
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:28 PM ^
Well done!
October 2nd, 2019 at 4:40 PM ^
Hey you're in luck... you're in the same demographic as cheese covered waffle fries!
October 2nd, 2019 at 12:35 PM ^
I almost never like these...the Free Trainer V7 Week Zero shoe is the only one I've liked and it's really hard to find except in really unpopular sizes.
October 2nd, 2019 at 12:41 PM ^
That's the only Michigan Nike/Jordan pair I have. I really like them.
Oh, I also have a pair of Michigan '97 Air Max shoes, but I don't think those are really "Michigan" shoes... but do sport the colors.
Other than those 2, the rest are hideous.
October 2nd, 2019 at 12:40 PM ^
I'm still waiting for these ones to come down in price. Still $130 everywhere. Best looking Michigan shoes Nike has made yet. And, where are the Michigan Jordan XI's??
October 2nd, 2019 at 1:01 PM ^
See, I wouldn't wear these. I'd rather have either shoe up top in the OP and neither one is too good. Plain, Nike logo too big for that shoe, Michigan tramp stamp in the back. And that heel shape is something else. Also think these would make my feet look too small/narrow.
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:29 PM ^
Have a buddy who worked for Nike for over 20 years so he get a lifetime 40% discount which is the only reason I could convince my wife I needed these. Seriously considering buying a second pair because the other shoes they release are hideous.
October 2nd, 2019 at 3:15 PM ^
I dig it I like those ones
October 2nd, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
Sucks those bottom ones are so damn ugly because Nike’s React midsole is up there with adiboost for most comfortable midsole on the market in my eyes. Leave it to Nike though to fuck it up with an ugly ass pattern, especially for a school with the best color combo in the country
October 2nd, 2019 at 12:46 PM ^
I like the Jordan one. One of the best released Michigan shoe there has been imo. I've heard those react shoes are comfortable AF, but this design is nasty. The Element 55 is the worst shoe from the React lineup imo, why not release a react presto??
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:05 PM ^
THIS. Drop Prestos in any form and I'm all over them.
October 2nd, 2019 at 12:51 PM ^
yuck.
October 2nd, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
Neither are great but those element 55s are complete dogshit.
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:15 PM ^
word, dogshit.
October 2nd, 2019 at 1:18 PM ^
The first ones are fine but the element 55... oof. No thanks.
October 2nd, 2019 at 1:27 PM ^
Throw some glass bottom platforms under them that you can put goldfish in and sales might top 100 pair.
October 2nd, 2019 at 1:58 PM ^
I'm gonna be really critical now, so just don't read if you can't take it! The first pair: if I can see the dang glue seeping out of the edges that is a deal-killer for me.
The second pair: look like a late 80s Suburu Outback, covered in plastic. You know the first time you have an accident them sh*ts are gonna look like a discarded children's toy. (Borrowing some vernacular from Do the Right Thing and Mookie.) Also looks like they borrowed some of those cheap stockings they keep at the store so old women can try 'em on, slipped them over the front.
One of these days there will actually be a nice Michigan shoe, and I will be tempted to buy and wear it.
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:14 PM ^
Nope.
Dammit, wanted some too. Too busy looking and whats up with the lattice on the Jordans?
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:16 PM ^
These are both pretty bad. If I were an ad exec for Nike, I would pitch a pair of shoes designed by a blind man with their name in braille on the side. No matter how hideous they were, people couldn't make fun of them because they were literally designed by a blind guy. I'm pretty sure they'd sell like hotcakes too.
October 2nd, 2019 at 5:55 PM ^
In other words, you want to get sued for violating Yeezy tms...?!
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:17 PM ^
what was that old timie florist commercial ...TD Florist maybe, those Jordans would fit that outfit with that maize shizz on the side.
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:24 PM ^
You're thinking of FTD. That's supposed to be Hermes, but their POS website calls him the "Greek" god Mercury. Really?
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:33 PM ^
I'm nauseous.
October 2nd, 2019 at 9:03 PM ^
Probs mean nauseated.
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:37 PM ^
Strike 1, Strike 2, smdh. I’ve been ultimately disappointed in the apparel since Michigan joined back up with Nike/Jordan.
October 2nd, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
Is this the distraction vs. wins on the road against ranked teams? sad
October 2nd, 2019 at 3:13 PM ^
I've been underwhelmed by the shoes each year. I did buy the below when they came out and Ive liked them the best so far...
October 2nd, 2019 at 8:24 PM ^
Agreed, those look good. I was tempted, but they only have sizes for hobbits now.
October 4th, 2019 at 8:06 AM ^
Yeah I was going to buy another pair but can't find any in my size. My wife bought them brand new when they came out and they are really comfortable so I was hoping to snag another pair.
October 2nd, 2019 at 3:51 PM ^
Are those shoes trying to rival's MSU's lime uni's from earlier this year in terms of ugliness?
October 2nd, 2019 at 4:41 PM ^
They are running out of ideas for shoe designs.
October 2nd, 2019 at 4:48 PM ^
Basics are good...
Michigan has had the same uniforms for years, and they're still sexy as hell compared to most.
October 2nd, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
Agreed
October 2nd, 2019 at 4:47 PM ^
There are so few times in our lives where the words "BUTT" or "ASS" could be used as adjectives.
Thank you for allowing me to stretch my creative writing skills!
October 2nd, 2019 at 4:50 PM ^
October 2nd, 2019 at 5:05 PM ^
Pass on both.
October 2nd, 2019 at 5:15 PM ^
ugly
October 2nd, 2019 at 6:17 PM ^
I just buy navy blue Jordan’s at Marshalls for under $50 and call it a day. My daughter bought me a pair the first year and they’re the ugliest dam things I’ve ever seen.
October 2nd, 2019 at 6:56 PM ^
I thought Nike had good designers
October 2nd, 2019 at 7:52 PM ^
I think a couple of their lead designers have gone to Adidas. In case anyone really cares if you ask any kid under the age of 18 nobody likes Nike, Adidas is making a HUGE push in football and every kid I've seen is posting stuff about "that three stripe life". The problem with some of the bigger Nike guys like OBJ and a few others have shoes that never drop for regular people so they could care less about them, however Adidas drops color schemes for damn near every school.
October 3rd, 2019 at 12:58 PM ^
Every kid on my sons college baseball team is wearing adidas cleats along with puma casual and fucking champion fleece....CHAMPION! A year ago Walmart was giving the shit away and now it’s at Macy’s! Wtf?
October 2nd, 2019 at 7:49 PM ^
Go to StockX and I've seen a few pairs of Team issue Jordans floating around on there. Get ready to pay a pretty penny though. The problem I have ALL of the fucking jordans they have done team issues with are the worst Jordans. Why can't they do some 1's, 3's, 11's, something other than the ones they have done so far.
October 2nd, 2019 at 8:56 PM ^
That second pair reminds me of my favorite beer Spotted Cow, Ah beer
October 2nd, 2019 at 9:02 PM ^
Glad to see Nickelodeon involved in the second one.
October 3rd, 2019 at 1:10 AM ^
On behalf of us who had a pair of the original Air Jordan’s 30 or whatever years ago, I don’t get it.
October 3rd, 2019 at 12:59 PM ^
30 years ago an animal had to die in order to manufacture a pair of Jordan’s. Now they look like a fake thriller jacket.
October 3rd, 2019 at 3:14 PM ^
Mmm... yeah. Those are heinous. While I'm glad overall that we re-upped with Nike/Jordan, Adidas' newer sneaker offerings are much better-looking than Nike's.
