The Air Force One Insideout MITA is a size 9; @PERRIN_Chris and @M-17, I saw that featured in Sneaker Freaker back in 2006. It was not a general release, only for that gallery. I like the comfort of the AJ Vs and the IIIs. For some reason, the Spiz'ikes which has the III midsole isn't as comfortable and soft as my 2003 Retro IIIs. I only collect AJ IIIs, IVs, and Vs, so I would not know how comfortable other JB shoes are.

I do have the Air Max CB 34 lows, which has a neoprene lining, its very comfortable for the heavy look and design. BTW, @PERRIN_Chris, I wear 9.5 for NIKEs and sometimes a 9.0 AJ V fits me; I do have/had a used AJ V Whiteouts in 9.5(have to look in storage, not sure if I sold it or still have it) but the left shoe-inside net have broken from the leather.

Not all are to begin with. Some were give a gamble, while other shoes in the beginning didn't have the technology like most performance sneakers do now a days.

Spizikes I can deal with. I'm not a fan of most of the poop JB has produced of late.

8.5-9.5 is my range that I can deal with. If I'm desperate though I've copped a size 10 before.

It's just NIKEs strategy. Just look at the JB line, in addition to the Retro Jordan's it has those hybrids like the AFJ, Spiz'ike, Son of Mars, and Flight Club. Like you mentioned, most of the Air Max line have had the Free and even the 360 midsoles. Additionally, they changed the uppers with flyknit material to cater to whoever will buy their latest concoctions as long as Hypebeast.com features it; and all bunch of malarkey will be all over it. Roshe Run took a long time gaining a following. I remember three years ago when it only sold for $65.00, now you can see it sold for +$100 only because it has a camo-print on the uppers.

Besides NIKE, PUMA is another brand that did a hybrid and it was a FrankenClyde(only one I know of) which is simply a pair of Clydes with a Basket sole; but if you look at most of the older PUMAs, if not for the marking on the side panel most look a like!

You want to see a Frankenstein shoe @Chee-Hu? Check this Wing Tip Oxfords, despite NIKE owning part of Cole Haan, slapped on top of a Lunar sole.

Not gonna lie, but I'm kinda feeling them. If the grey ones had black instead of yellow then I could see that as a nice alternative.

Not sure where else can purchase them besides online, I have seen these in UNDFTD stores and still waiting for non-neon color soles.

Chee-Hu · 07-05-2013, 12:56 PM

Truth be told, I almost bought a pair or two of those wingtip Oxfords. I just couldn't justify the price tag on them. I'm still eyeing the brown pair. They look pretty decent and do not look at all chopped up. Lunar soles is becoming my favorite of all time so far.

M-17 · 07-08-2013, 03:12 PM

It may just be me, but I'm not liking how these turned out. JB could have chosen a better colorway imo.

Inspired by Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Don't see the "inspiration" imo.

Chee-Hu · 07-08-2013, 03:37 PM

The cw doesn't out for me as well. Too much going on that do not mesh together.

PERRIN_Chris · 07-10-2013, 07:35 PM

I agree, those Vs are terrible, not as bad as the all elephant print though. At least I'm not motivated to spend any more money on more shoes!

Amen! I used to have the mentality of having every single pair of Lebrons every released 3-4 years ago including PE and whatnot. I stopped after the 7th installment. I'm kinda proud of myself by going 1yr+ not purchasing a pair lol.

+1 to going a year without buying a sneaker not needed.

No one thought I could do it.

What do you guys think about the DB3s re releasing? I used to feel special having them, since they were pretty rare, oh well!
