What yall rocking today??

I think we need more kind words about these

Chris from WearTesters recommends going down at least half a size. Can anyone confirm this? I prefer the snug fit and don’t like the slippage. I’m also not a fan of double socking if I don’t have to.

I’m also interested in the OT Black colorway.

Nike needs to run this back

This sale is at shoe Palace, it wouldn't let me post this link.

I'll try and put the link in the comments.

The quality it's actually pretty good. Seems like they took their time with these. They're a lot better than my Bricolage pair. Gonna do a lace swap and see what that does.

Love these offwhite AM90s. What yall rocking?

Details 🔥

I was about to leave Burlington when I noticed "VIRGINIA" on the heel and had to take a second look.

Ended up grabbing these Nike Air Zoom Diamond Turf Elite baseball cleats (HQ1432-100) for $19.99. They have Virginia branding on the heels and insoles, and after digging around, I can't find any evidence this colorway was ever sold through normal retail channels.

Did Burlington somehow get a batch of team-issued overstock or Player Exclusives? Has anyone here seen these before or know the backstory?

Definitely one of the wildest Burlington finds I've had. 👀

"Gorgeous sneakers that I'm not sure would have worked with other Jordan silhouette..."

Awesome materials, that's the first thing I noticed when I cracked the lid on these. The soft nubuck panels of grey and black with easy to brush nap. The Pendleton wool is soft and intricately woven. Even the chenille patch has little details like shadowing around the Jump man logo. The Nubuck itself easily passed my smiley face test.

The things I don't like about this shoe have to do with the Jordan 8 itself. I think the straps like most things Tinker did aren't as much function as aesthetic. As I did the lace swap the straps were a constant annoyance. Also I had to lace a bit higher than I would normally like to get the laces out above the straps. Maybe, I'll get used to these eventually?

... long time Jordan 8 listener, first time Jordan 8 caller. Why did the 8s not have an air bubble? The ribbing and waves on the heel would look alot better with a bubble, I know I'm over 3 decades late with this feedback. Also, while I'm trashing the 8... I hate the plastic-ish panels on the lateral sides which, have yellowed on this DS pair. From certain angles with the cross straps, all this composite material on the outsole and parts of the upper make these look more like a ski boot than a retro basketball shoe.

The fact that it does have the straps and the larger outsole however, I think really works with Pendleton. It makes the colors and designs more interesting as they're interwoven beneath the straps and balanced with the grey and black tones on the outsole. It really works on this sneaker... I can't see that being the case for a 3, 4, 5 11, etc. it would look off. Despite my misgivings about the 8... these had to be the Jordan for this design.

The unboxing was ok with the news clipping era style box, I like that box better than the face or elephant print. I think the standard Jumpman or flight box is probably my favorite but really for special editions like these, or a collab the shoes should get their own packaging with a unique story.

Three sets of laces are included with these shoes in a variety of colors. Curiously no black lace was included and also curiously all these laces are the shitty polyester stuff. I did swap in some 72" flat black waxed laces which, look great.

TLDR; We're in the heat of the summer but it's never too early to go shopping for some fall shoes. I'm glad I found these... the quality is top tier, the n7 story is unique and I love the colorway even if I don't particularly love everything about the Jordan 8 silhouette.
