    I bought a pair of these shoes back in 1997. One of my favorite shoes to ball in back then.
    I still remember your old video buying a used pair of this shoe.
    It's a shame they didn't do this retro justice.

    Another great overall video review. I remember when the OG Jumpman Pro released and I was confused on which model it was. Ended up purchasing all the colorways of the Jumpman pro which I ended up selling. As for that Kicks magazine, man that brings back memories. I believe I still have that copy.

    Many thanks for that quick tour of that grail SLAM issue. Have searched and searched for a reliable digital version or a non crazy expensive physical copy.
    The non Jordan primeness of the Jumpman always soured me on these even though they look great but the review has me seriously rethinking whether I want to buy

    I had these in the black/blue colorway when I was 7. They were my first pair of Jordans. My brother had the flu game 12s and I remember liking how they had design similarities.

    Completely agree we need a re-release of the pippen 2 in only original colorways the last eggplants were straight trash. Duncan's foams definitely could use a comeback. If they do you'll get all the credit!

    I feel your pain my dude!! Love that the shoes are back….they are one of my favorites but the downgrade in tech is ridiculous especially if you’re charging more for the product. It’s not like they can’t source the components….they still retro the 12s. Even if they don’t use the carbon fiber plate…at least have the full length zoom! ALSO…YES…please do the PIPPEN 2s….it’s still a shoe i love and don’t own! ❤🤓💯🙏🏽

  • @HellenicRenegade

    I always loved this shoe. I had an American friend that would buy every single Jordan upon release, and one day we went to Norwich and he scooped these up in the black/white/gold and I believe I bought the Jason Kidd Zoom Flight 5. Both awesome shoe's. Glad these Pro's have been retroed, not sure I'd play ball in them, however the White/Cherrywood Reds do look really nice.

  • @owintwenty2
    @owintwenty2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Didn’t know that they release this colorway back in the day. I had one of these because all the Jordan 12s black/white at the time were sold out.
    Also, cool that you kept that magazine. I still have one where they featured the 2001 nba all star weekend and took a pic of everyone’s shoes. That was worth walking to the convenience store and sitting on the bench, dreaming about these shoes.

    I love those first gen Jordan Brand models, they were so dope. It's a shame that JB keeps giving us knockoffs of their own shoes. Almost every Team Jordan from that era that has been retroed has been made with crappy materials, stripped tech (well, that happened even with the XVs) and some color changes. In the Jumpman Team two they switched the cushion with Zoom in the back and an internal air unit in the forefoot instead of the OGs Zoom in the forefoot and air in the back. I still have some hope that, when or if they retro the Team J from 2000, they do it right.

    • @xlixity
      @xlixity ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I doubt it. They know the demand for these is nowhere near the demand for the mainline Jordans and thus the pushback/outrage will be minimal, so there's no real incentive to offer the original premium experience.
      Unless of course Jordan brand _want_ to push the model as a top item like they're doing currently with the Jordan 2s.

    The original one, and the Black/Blue color way were some of the first Jordan/Jumpman brand shoes I bought with my own money. The way I understood what the Jumpman Pro was, back when they released, was that these were meant for other players. And, It was a separation in branding from Jordan. I don’t know if PEs were a thing back then, but I would assume that the numbered Jordan’s were for Jordan himself, and teams to wear. I’m getting these for nostalgia purposes, and might even try to find a pair of older ones to get donor parts to replace what I don’t like on these. When is the release on these, and are they going to be a general or limited release?

I ended up giving the Jumpman to my cousin, he kept telling me it was ugly and no one would probably wear them anyways (hah, was stupid enough to fall for it). My dad was so pissed because I specifically asked him to buy the 2 pairs when he visited the US (we didn't have a lot of options in the Philippines back then). I remember him telling me we aren't rich enough to give away a pair of Jordans, and that I should work for him and earn my next pair 😆

    I had to custom edit these myself to to be happy. Nowhere on the shoe does it say Jordan or Nike or 23 or have the custom nike swoosh logo. I had to add an insole gel inlay to get it feeling right. Got silver lace tags with the jumpman logo on the left and the swoosh on the right. At the back of the shoe i printed out a laser adhesive sticker put the exact font of the 90s 23 and placed the 2 on the left of the Jumpman logo emblem and the 3 on the right. Then and only then did I have a shoe that i felt like i had a partially emblematic nike jordan 23 jumpman. Looks outstanding with the presentation but still missing the words Jordan or Air or Nike.
