Hey Guys! Class is in session. Today we are gonna get a mini history lesson on all things Cool Grey in the Jordan Brand line. Professor Nightwing is reporting for duty. Thanks for watching! And happy hunting!
This man is speaking FACTS!!! when Jordan Brand went away from OG colors in the early 2000s people were not feeling them AT ALL!!! shit I can remember when the jordan 9s came out when MJ retired and people werent feeling them because at that time people did not believe he was coming back and a lot of people moved on to other shoes. whats crazy is how these shoes sell out with such shitty craftsmanship!!!
Love this. Back In 2006 this was the first shoe I had to wait in line for. Granted it was only for an hour, but still my first one. My favorite thing of these was how they got the moniker of “Cool Grey” while the color code is actually “Silver” & “Light Graphite” on the original release, made it a cousin of the cool grey family to me.
Thanks for the info about the outsoles, how the manufacturer them. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who is interested in that type of information.
I enjoy all the videos Chris. Thanks for putting us on to Sole Savy , those guys are building something great over there. I've gotten a few favorites with their help and even won some Js in one of their raffles. Keep em coming 💪🏽
Just got mine via raffle. Got to admit, wasn't a fan of it initially and not a cool grey fan in general. However, it's growing on me, the superb quality considering its nubuck leather. Maybe its the elephant print being grey so cool grey makes more blend and sense. Thanks for your review videos, always watch before purchases! Cheers and stay safe!
Mine is on its way!! I’m excited to get my hands on these. I watched this vid then a few weeks later they were released in Australia and snapped one up. Excited!! Thank you wear testers love your channel
I been watching your channel for a while. I like how you carry yourself and the knowledge of Air Jordans Good stuff. Much respect from one the old heads Niketalkers since 2000 when the air max crew was together.👍
I got my cool greys in today and I literally have two different pairs of shoes, the suede/leather that they used is so inconsistent I literally got the same pair as you, one is super tumbled and the other shoe is super smooth, I agree with you, they both look really good, they just aren't the same lol
Best sneaker content on Retro kicks. Bar none. Chris & DefyNewYork are my GoTo for any info I might need. I see that the Cool Gray 3 is dropping this week... I hit up NightWing because I know I’ll get a 💯 HONEST REVIEW!!!! Much respect from Philly. Your Boy Coyle.
Hahahahaha....that outtake is great!! Those cool greasy look great, plus actually having that comparison is sweet. The left and right factored though,.....wow. I mean, that’ll absolutely feed that conspiracy 🤣🤣
Cool grey 3’s were indeed a Lifestyle release, I have a few tees from the first release. Sucks that have two different textures on your shoe, similar to my playoff 12’s from 2001.
I know your question was not aimed at me, but I just wanted to let you know I agree. I'm over Nike and JB. Moved on to New Balance, Adidas ( the new Forum 84 line is CRAZY good!), and some other "non hype" stuff, and am now enjoying sneakers again. Even if I do have to pay resell, it's typically not a crazy price, and the quality is always on point. I don't miss the headaches, and there are so many other good shoes out there it's a good time to be into shoes.
@@johnnycriscoa.k.atamesjayl5910 Definitely appreciate your answer! I've recently been in to my adidas and pumas... after missing out on all of the jordans this week, I think I'm just done with that side for a long time to come!
It’s the new bandwagon culture that ruined sneaker culture. Resellers and hypebeast have drastically saturated the market. It’s probably more fake sneakerheads and resellers than actual genuine sneaker lovers. People that don’t even know anything about MJ, Tinker Hatfield, or sneaker history, claim the AJ1 is their favorite shoe, after never having a pair before the hype. Then there are more resellers with bots than there ever was, they’re literally a parasite to the community in every way. Simply buying shoes that they know others want, so people can’t have them. It really ruined the game; too many corny suburban kids entered the game all at once and took over and ruined it.
Darnay Blue agree, but what really makes me mad with Nike and JB is that the whole bot game is easily nullified, yet they refuse to put any programs in place to protect the consumer. I don’t know what they would gain by allowing bots to overrun their sites, but they do time and time again. If you were a conspiracy theorist, you could prob come up with some crazy situations where Nike/JB and resellers collaborating in the aftermarket would actually make a lot of sense. Anyway, I just had to move on. I think we will see a day where there is a backlash in trends, and anyone wearing a Travis Scott Jordan 1 or equal will basically be made fun of....
I believe the reason why they don’t make the polyurethane coloured is the same reason why Boost is wrapped not painted. Apparently it would change the chemical compound of the material, therefore changing its properties, likely for the the worse.
@@francisaponte8500 haven’t lost yet, head to your local footlocker, champs, and finishline Monday morning. Whoever didn’t pick up they pairs is up for grabs 🤞
“Truck Drivers Face” is an Amazing Dinger....I’m putting that in my memory banks....ill Review.....I hope to see someone do something on the Slept’On Converse 76’/Birth of Flight Pro Leathers... Those Cool Gray 3’s are nice....I’ve never seen such a Left Twix Right Twix perspective on our sneakers like, Great Wrinkle you delivered to us. Peace And one more thing...You two are my favorite wife and husband connection...Keep Up The Great Work
The sneaker that got me into sneakers! I need these. My favorite colorway and one of my favorite silhouettes! Just hit on the Carmines on SNKRS, so hopefully I get blessed with these too! Shout out to Mr. and Mrs. Wing!! Love from Pixburgh
I believe the current outsoles are tinted light blue is because of the UV-protection which should prevent it from yellowing over time. UV is actually a killer for most materials especially plastics but I don't exactly know if PU can be "UV-protected" or colored as well. PU-insoles tend to be white with a print or glued lining over it so they can at least color the PU white. Allthough I can imagine with all the different color variations and cheap labour costs in China & Vietnam it would be way cheaper for the brands to manufacture all the outsoles in the PU's natural color and then paint over them. Paint itself can be UV-protected these days so you get two strikes in a row.
Hey guys! I’ve been watching your videos ever since I first needed to do research to purchase my first ever basketball shoe and since then I’ve gotten some pretty gnarly ankle injuries. I would love if u guys did a video to tell us which shoes fit the best with any kind of ankle brace you guys use that would be a major help!
Just missed on the Jordan 6 carmine ! Freaking resellers man!! Anyways I will definitely get this pair I was also to poor to get them when they released back then 🙌🏻 Stay up Chris
If I remember correctly, I think you mentioned in a video way back that they couldn’t dye eTPU (Boost) pellets because it messes with the chemical composition or the integrity of the material? I would assume PU mid soles are the same way. Also, good job on explaining tinting rubber, did not know that’s how they did it.
Had the same truck driver issue with a pair I tried on at Footlocker. Left was fine, right looked like it had been worn previously for a week. Creased AF!
