NW, you’re 100% correct about shooters. I’ve played with guys in their 60s, look out of shape, but boy are they deadly with their standstill “jump” shot.
I respect what they do with retros and I think they should still release them but they seriously need a page out of kobes book an start protroing shoes.. could you imagine that jordan 3 flyknit had they used a softer foam midsole and perhaps replaced the air bag with zoom? I would 100% double up on em even if I have to pay resale
Spizikes literally took the most iconic components of the most famous jordan retros and stitched them together to make a work of art. Kinda wish they got more attention, kinda happy though since resellers don't care for them.
I honestly love the whole collection of Jordan Legacy 312. The more I've seen, the more I've grown to like the whole collection. I ended up getting all 5 colorways myself. I don't know what is the hate about them. I personally think it's a perfect blend. Good thing most people hate on this I guess because I was able to cop all 5 selections at retail/below prices.
My first pair or Jordans was the 2.5 I loved that shoe and balled in them until they fell apart. Loved the silhouette of the 2 but with the elephant skin and touches of the 3.
I bought a pair of Air Jordan Executives in the black/gray/red colorway... I love the way they look. They're a very subtle hybrid... Next on my hit list... The Air Jordan Jumpman Team II in the anthracite colorway!!!
I don’t like the direction they’ve been going in. At some point they’re going to have to actually drop a high performance basketball shoe that can represent the brand better as whole all that retro stuff is really getting played out! The new air jordan models have been lackluster and not as premium as I think they should be
I can't knock on a hybrid because I think they do their best to put together something new from something that is old. And sometimes it work (Spizike, Son of Mars, 6 Rings) and sometimes it doesn't (Fusion series, Comfort series, etc.). I will say this, I wish they would release some of those SE's like the XV SE, or the XIX SE. Those were fresh! And better looking (IMO) than the original models
I don't like Hybrid J's cuz that's too much going on one shoes. But I'm into 3lab5, 5lab3 and 4lab11, just put some concept from one shoes to another which is dope for me.
Clearly this segment needs to be re-named "Get Off My Lawn". A couple of old sneaker heads/ ballers talking about the good ol' days. LOL!!!! Thoughts on Hybrids.... Much like the cars there are only a very few that actually seem to be attractive. When done right I think they fit right in with the flagship shoes. When the pieces look forced (elephant print on the Legacy 312 comes to mind) it creates that "WTF" factor. However comma I think Jordan Brand WANTS the WTF factor so I guess they're still winning...
I swear that Jordan shoe with the lower toe strap is just like the original Barkley Air Force they put out in the early nineties. The Barkleys didn’t have the white as it was all black and blue and it didn’t go so high as it was more a mid, but other than that it is just like that original Barkley. Which was an amazing shoe.
I typically HATE Jordan/Nike fusion sneakers. But the Jordan Legacy 312 and Jumpman Lift Offs are 🔥🔥🔥. I have a pair of Lift Offs and I plan on copping some Legacy 312's.
I think there are sneaker purist when it comes to Jordan... Either your with hybrids or you're not. I love this series and MJODAN23 is spot on someday it must stop I'm 48 and that day is right around the corner but I will hold on for as long as I can... "Old man sneaker head"
I'm cool with hybrid jordans if they are done well. The Don C 312s kinda grew on me....because of the colorways. If I had to choose, I'd go Team Jordans over Hybrids. But that's just me.
Dope vid as always guys, really enjoying the trash talk series. I gotta say, I collect only what Jordans the man himself wore, and if possible on OG colourways. I actually played in all of them, apart from the first three ones (bricks, I am old...). I think that Jordan brand needs to both preserve their heritage and also create new silhouettes for the new age of basketball. I have to say, my new favourite shoe to play in is the Jordan 31. It's an amazing shoe, very easy to rock outside and pays homage in a right way to the 1. It is also one of the best performers out there. I do not necessarily like the Don C stuff, but I do not mind it. It's only a shoe, I'm not gonna hate it cause there is no point. Would I buy it? On a discount, maybe. Brand new, no. I also think that I will stop collecting heavily when I complete the whole Jordan series, from 1 to 14 and then the 18 (I hated the 16 and 17 really, I'd only buy them in the future if they come out on an OG Wizards colourway and the man himself wore it). Now can we please have again a general release of the Playoff 12s? PLEASE? Thank you.
Call me flat out wrong but I thought with the air yeezy series atleast the first 1, kanye had 90% of control on the design. I only say that because they had an issue with him wanting things like a Jordan 3 or 6 outsole and Nike said nothing Jordan only Nike stuff. So he used the air revolution outsole to bypass the issue. Again I could be only semi right but just what I remember
Great vid guys! 👍 hey Nightwing I wonder if you can help. I was trying to find a air jordan that released like in the late 90's in a graphite blueish color with a strap near the top and on the strap it says air jordan. Majority of the shoe is made of soft material and the bottom looks almost like a 13. Any ideas? Thanks Nightwing
A legit Jordan from Jordan brand is nice and I’ll wear it if I like them. That’s simple. Then again, I don’t care one bit about peer pressure so that plays into my perspective.
The only hybrid that i like but really dont wear are the spizikes, i just like the face that some colorways are really cool but the overall shape is like ewww wtf is that lol, i like retros better
Personal thoughts on hybrid's are if they are fly pick them up, if not just leave them. There is always going to be a pair of shoes that someone thinks are amazing and others who think they are trash, there are so many shoes being released that we shouldn't trash a single pair of shoes because they don't fit our personal style. I think that certain colorways of the spizike are trash and certain colorways are fly, do I own a pair of spizikes...no because I didn't want to let nike/jordan brand I like this style of shoe so much here is my money. Please don't knock someone who what they wear because you don't understand it. Hybrids are crazy idea brought to life, let's celebrate those crazy ideas not bring them down.
Don’t knock the ultraboost bro that’s the most comfortable shoe on the planet I care about tech over names any day. And I even stopped buying Jordan’s cuz they hurt my feet to damn much and I thought my feet hurting was normal hahaha but when you put on your first pair of ub and your feet feel just as fresh four hours in as when you first put them on or even crazier when your feet hurt and you put them on and your feet feel better at the end of the day more than when you first put them on then you got an AMAZING product. And Nike 4% and Pegasus turbo just still don’t beat them they are true contenders but by no means replace the ub shoe. And I’m actually waiting for my element react 87 to come in the mail to see how they stack up. I got high hopes but if the zoomx couldn’t do it I don’t see how react can beat the ub shoe. If I could put an ultraboost bottom inside every shoe not even showcase it i wouldn’t even think twice to have that in my shoes. It is so comfortable. God bless love these videos and convos keep me coming
I mean if you look at Don C's style or designs this hybrid just doesn't fit what you think a Don C collaboration would be. Honestly in my opinion there is too much going on with the shoe.
Performance wise, a hybrid Air Jordan would be awesome. Westbrook’s PE with the 31 that had the sole of the 29 is a great example of how to do it right.
The Spiz'ikes, 6 rings, and Dub Zeros were all hybrids and they all looked great, IMO.
it fine if we buy at discount.. not so much as retail.. and NO one want to buy resell for this shit..
Dubzeros aesthically are decent, the other 2 are 🤢
NW, you’re 100% correct about shooters. I’ve played with guys in their 60s, look out of shape, but boy are they deadly with their standstill “jump” shot.
Be sure to leave your thoughts on Hybrid Air Jordan models and where you feel the brand is headed into the future. Thanks for watching!!!
I respect what they do with retros and I think they should still release them but they seriously need a page out of kobes book an start protroing shoes.. could you imagine that jordan 3 flyknit had they used a softer foam midsole and perhaps replaced the air bag with zoom? I would 100% double up on em even if I have to pay resale
Don't care for hybrids some just don't look right/good but spizike the greatest/ best hybrid n the son of Mars high looked ok
Jordan CMFTs all the way!
Spizikes literally took the most iconic components of the most famous jordan retros and stitched them together to make a work of art. Kinda wish they got more attention, kinda happy though since resellers don't care for them.

I love these videos, but man the 6 Rings are SO NICE I mean come on 😂
This is one of my favorite series of videos you do! Love the collab!
6 rings are so dope!!
My first pair or Jordans was the 2.5 I loved that shoe and balled in them until they fell apart. Loved the silhouette of the 2 but with the elephant skin and touches of the 3.
I bought a pair of Air Jordan Executives in the black/gray/red colorway... I love the way they look. They're a very subtle hybrid... Next on my hit list... The Air Jordan Jumpman Team II in the anthracite colorway!!!
I enjoy watching you both together and laughing. I catch myself laughing throughout the video 😂
Dope colab with MJO23DAN, prolly one of the OG sneakerheads in the youtube community. underrated channel tbh
Jap Dcp thank you 👍
As a 36 year old sneaker lover i love these segments
I don’t like the direction they’ve been going in. At some point they’re going to have to actually drop a high performance basketball shoe that can represent the brand better as whole all that retro stuff is really getting played out! The new air jordan models have been lackluster and not as premium as I think they should be
I love the legacies
I like the dub zero and 6 rings.
Love the 6 rings. Even tho 1st look at the dub zeros I was like wtf are those? Then the white cements came out I was like DAAYYYYUUUMMM!!!
The cement Jordan Spizike is the only Jordan hybrid I like.. I get a pair every year
For me the hybrid are very detailed design, jordan legacy 312 have a combination of jordan 1 and jordan 3 but can it use to basketball nowadays? 😐
I have the Infared 6 rings and the Chicago Bulls 6 rings and I love them!
Next video thoughts on SNKRS APP shock drops/surprise drops
Joseph Masood I like this topic. We should definitely expound on the whole online experience.

I mess with the spizikes and these aren't bad but I hate the looks of most of these hybrids
I f*cks with the 6 rings!🔥🔥🔥
I swear that Jordan shoe with the lower toe strap is just like the original Barkley Air Force they put out in the early nineties. The Barkleys didn’t have the white as it was all black and blue and it didn’t go so high as it was more a mid, but other than that it is just like that original Barkley. Which was an amazing shoe.
I don't like hybrids, but l love those.
some are fine if you get for discount
CMFTs Are the best hybrids (In my opinion)
When I first saw these, I was like damn "fire" still wish I could have coped
I typically HATE Jordan/Nike fusion sneakers. But the Jordan Legacy 312 and Jumpman Lift Offs are 🔥🔥🔥. I have a pair of Lift Offs and I plan on copping some Legacy 312's.
As far as hybrids, I have 2. Spizikes and Son of Mars. And i love them.
The volts are just an insane colourway
I think there are sneaker purist when it comes to Jordan... Either your with hybrids or you're not. I love this series and MJODAN23 is spot on someday it must stop I'm 48 and that day is right around the corner but I will hold on for as long as I can... "Old man sneaker head"

So it’s a jordan 1 and 3 with the alpha forces not a big fan of Fusion Jordan’s but these ain’t bad
The rambling at the end is amazing! You should talk more random stuff
I love the Jordan Son of Mars low hybrid that's my 2nd Jordans. Can't afford the retros.
Jordan legacy and spizike are amazing shoes
Where did you get that bugz/Jordan space jam print?
“You can’t shoes with you to the grave”....the hype beasts don’t wanna hear that 😂😂

Thank you.
Knowledgeable Guys!
If you could create your own hybrid to be the ultimate performer. What would it look like. Across all brands, not just Jordan’s
dub zero, spizikes and 6 rings are dope, this guys must be from the 2015 plus
Yo
Are the hovr havoc mids worth copping for outdoor hooping?
I don’t mind the hybrid Jordan’s
Call me flat out wrong but I thought with the air yeezy series atleast the first 1, kanye had 90% of control on the design. I only say that because they had an issue with him wanting things like a Jordan 3 or 6 outsole and Nike said nothing Jordan only Nike stuff. So he used the air revolution outsole to bypass the issue. Again I could be only semi right but just what I remember
The OGs sneakerhead!
Love the hybrids but they just have to look a bit better, less busy in design and more functional
And the spizikes
I always like the 11.5’s
hyperdunks reviews pls
Great vid guys! 👍 hey Nightwing I wonder if you can help.

Majority of the shoe is made of soft material and the bottom looks almost like a 13. Any ideas? Thanks Nightwing
Sergio quintanilla Jordan Pure or Team Pure
It might of been team jordan
I really like the Jordan hybrids, y'all forgot to mention the Jordan son of Mars
A legit Jordan from Jordan brand is nice and I’ll wear it if I like them. That’s simple. Then again, I don’t care one bit about peer pressure so that plays into my perspective.
If they removed that stupid front strap, those 312's would be dope AF
I kinda like the hybrids/collabs cause you can rock something unique and stand out :)
MJO23 kinda looks like Vin Diesel :O
Cleofer Shene Orcino second Vin Diesel comment I’ve heard and nobody has brought up Len from Steal My Sunshine lol
sorry man it was my first impression haha , thanks for this video with nightwing, peace :)
Can you play in jordan legacy 312??
Hi
6-17-23 FTW!!!!!!
The only hybrid that i like but really dont wear are the spizikes, i just like the face that some colorways are really cool but the overall shape is like ewww wtf is that lol, i like retros better
Jordan 1 '86 / '93
Personal thoughts on hybrid's are if they are fly pick them up, if not just leave them.

Please don't knock someone who what they wear because you don't understand it. Hybrids are crazy idea brought to life, let's celebrate those crazy ideas not bring them down.
I agree some Hybrids look weird because it feels like they fucked up the classic OGs but some Hybrids grow on you so idk lol
Wait a second you like the 11 legience and not any other fusion ? crickets*
“I can’t take these to the grave with me”
Actually, you can
I'm with Mjo23dan on this one. Never liked hybrids!
Those hybrids aren’t that bad
Those fusion 1’s are a no no for me
wuddddderrrrr thhhoooosssse???? lol
Don’t knock the ultraboost bro that’s the most comfortable shoe on the planet I care about tech over names any day. And I even stopped buying Jordan’s cuz they hurt my feet to damn much and I thought my feet hurting was normal hahaha but when you put on your first pair of ub and your feet feel just as fresh four hours in as when you first put them on or even crazier when your feet hurt and you put them on and your feet feel better at the end of the day more than when you first put them on then you got an AMAZING product.

those 1+3+force thing are hideous...
Performance wise, a hybrid Air Jordan would be awesome. Westbrook’s PE with the 31 that had the sole of the 29 is a great example of how to do it right.
NW, second time u talk about hybrids and don't mention the 6-17-23. no good
Jordan brand needs to relax on company weed sessions.
If Mike didn’t score in them, they arent Jordan’s. The end.
