Air Jordan 20 from Coutdown Pack
 While many heads have been looking forward to the October Countdown Pack featuring the Black/Cement Air Jordan III, don’t count on many people lining up for its other half. Some have complained about lopsided packs from the beginning, but pairing two shoes and balancing them equally is a bit of a challenge if you ask me. This Jordan CDP has a bit of an interesting side story to it being that the Jordan 3 was Tinker’s first Air Jordan and the Jordan 20 was his first since “retiring” after the Jordan 15.
The Jordan 20 that was called upon for the package is not exactly receiving as much love as it probably could have. A bit of a shock, Jordan Brand decided to call up the “regional” Air Jordan 20 and entirely black out the shoe. The regional Jordan 20s were far from being as popular to the other 20s in the line. One could find many of them hanging out at the outlets well after the Jordan 21 had released. Rarely do I inject personal opinion into my writing, (what you choose to wear is up to you!) but to hold silent about this is too hard. In a year that we are supposed to “Countdown” the Jordan shoes in what many thought would be a year of “greatest hits”, the trend seems to be that a package consists of one chart topper, and one ringtone rap classic. If a “regional” Air Jordan can make it into a CDP, what else can we pray we won’t see? Jordan 11 low LE? Jordan 15 Moc? Jordan 22 PE? Pics from KidKrazy007 at NikeTalk. |

never liked the 20s and this made me not like them even more… good to have the site back btw
Comment by hdogg — July 30, 2008 @ 11:27 pm
Ugh JB!!! you guys dropped the ball again! You should’ve put the stealth XXs instead of those! I still might cop tho only for the 3s!
Comment by sneakeraddict317 — July 30, 2008 @ 11:28 pm
i hate to be the critic but why couldnt they just release the stealth colorway that was the best XXs in my opinion i was plannin to get 20/3 but these just killed it for me like nicekicks said i also think many people will be waking up early to get these
Comment by ripjordan — July 30, 2008 @ 11:31 pm
i meant wont
Comment by ripjordan — July 30, 2008 @ 11:32 pm
Why?
I like the “black out” idea, but not for the Countdown Pack. I wanted to get the III + XX pack, but I am not too sure now.
Unlike most people, I really wanted the XX’s just as much as the III’s… now I don’t know what to do.
I may get the V + XVII cause those V’s are worth it (and the XVII’s are ok enough to get the whole pack)
Comment by PhilWil — July 30, 2008 @ 11:51 pm
I am definitely getting ‘em now, AN ALL BLACK 20’s with the BLACK CEMENTS 3′S! FINALLY! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU…!!!
Comment by oldjumpman35 — July 31, 2008 @ 12:10 am
they should’ve put da white/black XX’s that were a quick-strike. I missed out on those. These look ugly.
Comment by hotboy16 — July 31, 2008 @ 12:10 am
ugly . maybe worth it for the III’s .. buh idk bouh these .. the stealth woulda been wayy better . and why would they reverse the engravin and put it on the shoe insteada juss the strap ? thats not even the 20th anniversary engravement .. its like the dubz .. ugly .
Comment by EZBuketz — July 31, 2008 @ 12:11 am
GREAT PACK FOR PPL WHO LIKE BLACK J’S

Those are so ugly…
Comment by Flatsole — July 31, 2008 @ 12:19 am
this has to be the only 20’s that i have ever liked. because of this, my chances of getting the package just went up tenfold
Comment by bkbigjay — July 31, 2008 @ 12:29 am
Um Black Cats! ? they r Not bad at all Better than the QS
Comment by Stevo — July 31, 2008 @ 12:38 am
goddamnit! these are so f*cking ugly.
Comment by glen mac — July 31, 2008 @ 12:38 am
man thats that @#*(@# i be talkin about. i was hyped because i heard the 20’s would be the Stealth joints and i really wanted those. so here i am thinkin “yess, finally a pack where i want BOTH shoes”…..NO!! they come in with this “wolf dookie”. i mean, damn, they couldn’t throw a LITTLE red on them joints?! i might as well use that to ball on the indoor courts or somethin. i ought to go up to nike/jordan brand and stick this “size 12 in Jordans and 13 in Air Max” foot up some A$$!!!
Comment by Biggrizzly — July 31, 2008 @ 12:42 am
IDK bout yall…but this pack is a must cop!!!

Yeah
Comment by Air Daniel — July 31, 2008 @ 12:59 am
stealth’s are 10 times better than these..WTF !?!
Comment by KEARNEY — July 31, 2008 @ 1:00 am
these look like a pair of knock-offs that “hustleman” would sell 2 u for $85! its about waiting 4 tha right month 2 GET A PAIR OF exclusive jordans. i like 2 let a pair of jordans come out and they will be full price and then tha shoe will go on sale depending on what shoe it is.these 2-pair packages sell fast and tha sizes are hard 2 find,for example:4 those of u who go on (23isaback.com)….yeah.!this is the official website with release dates and shoes that don’t even be seen on nicekicks.com until about a week later.. tha 2pair packages
are going 4 about 425 on up… depending on size though.. but anybody who reads my comment this website (23ISBACK.COM) IS THE OFFICIAL SITE.
Comment by young G. S. — July 31, 2008 @ 1:32 am
^ young G.S.
Don’t come on here trying to hustle that 23iswack site. All that site does is steal photos and then tags their name on it. Maybe Matt won’t post up photos or info as soon as it hits the web, but thats because Matt has a relationship he has to keep with Jordan Brand and Nike. Leaking camera phone shots of shoes is not a good look nor is posting info that isn’t verified.
So if you want to talk official, don’t even mention 23isback son
Comment by sneakFREAK — July 31, 2008 @ 1:37 am
What are y’all talking about? There’s no way the stealths look better than these. I’m not even a big fan of the 20’s but I’m seriously contemplating getting this shoe.
Comment by King Mike — July 31, 2008 @ 1:38 am
the stealths were the best of the 20’s hands down. these “black cat” 20’s could have been left for some other time. like i said, they could have just done a black joint with hints of red like that leaked photo 2 years ago with the all black wit red trim 3’s next to the BMP’s. what happened to THOSE?
Comment by Biggrizzly — July 31, 2008 @ 1:45 am
Would have been a really nice pack if they did the stealth 20’s. Atleast throw in some patent leather or something!
Comment by JMan904 — July 31, 2008 @ 1:54 am
weak.
the stealths went harder.
i will just continue to rock my east midwest 20s.
fresh.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by stacks — July 31, 2008 @ 2:57 am
stop all the hatin thats all i hear on these things, get your numbered jordans while you can these packs are the last time there retro’in any of them.
Comment by david — July 31, 2008 @ 3:00 am
no its not, genius. the guy in charge of colorways (mr. gentry) said in a video that they will continue to retro jordans, just in limited numbers. why do you think they are dropping 3 more new colors of the jordan 1, einstein. smh @ people who think they know whats goin on.
Comment by Biggrizzly — July 31, 2008 @ 4:58 am
These poorly planned packs are just killing the Jordan Brand. I’m starting to get pissed off. I give up.
Comment by glen mac — July 31, 2008 @ 5:30 am
I cannot emphasize how filthy ugly garbage junk these 20’s are. I wish I could slap the dude who screwed up this shoe. This was a grail pack and JB comes with this garbage. What is this tacky crap? Lasercut the whole damn shoe. JORDAN BRAND: LESS IS MORE, EFFIN IDIOTS!!!
Comment by glen mac — July 31, 2008 @ 5:32 am
Given that it’s only really in the last year that I’ve gotten back into sneakers, the CDPs have been a grave disappointment for me. As someone who’s just starting a collection it means that all of these Jordans are out of range, particularly as I’m limited to internet purchases (very few stores are dropping these on this side of the pond). It is literally impossible for me to get a hold of a pack for less that £200, and given that each pack provides one shoe that I actively don’t want, it’s just too expensive.
Give me QS releases of retro classics and I’m in.
Comment by Dan Love — July 31, 2008 @ 5:53 am
I like this 20 a lot!!!! i love th black out idea!!!1 i got the black cat 3 and the 4!!!! Really like my J’s in black they can go with everything you wear on…can’t wait to oct!!!! Yeah Puerto Rico Represent!!!!!

If ANYONE COPS THIS CDP IN A SIZE 12 and doesn’t want their XX please e-mail me at ikonradio@gmail.com
I am copping this pack but would love to have an extra XX without having to copx2.
I know its early and not quite October but I will remind you as it gets closer.
Comment by IkonRadio — July 31, 2008 @ 6:38 am
yeah can’t go wrong with all black Jordan’s!
Comment by Smokey Da Bear — July 31, 2008 @ 7:15 am
I don’t comment often, but Jordan Brand should’ve used the white cement III’s, and the stealth XX’s for this pack, That would have made it a definite must cop for me.
Comment by Rafi215 — July 31, 2008 @ 7:34 am
Alright, so 2007 was “THE YEAR OF AIR FORCE ONES” which was, in my mind, a major let down. Now 2008 is “THE YEAR OF JORDAN” celebrating 23 years, and JB does so with these combinations of retros?!
This is like a tribute album to hip hop with Run DMC and Soulja Boy being on the disc *_*
Comment by mic check 212 — July 31, 2008 @ 7:50 am
the threes are also the first shoe wit hthe jumpman[i guess its because mj won the slam dunk contest the year before] the only packs im getting are the 21/2 and 11/12. maybe the 10/13 also.
Comment by sneakerhead3 — July 31, 2008 @ 8:16 am
I AM WAITING FOR THE 11/12 PACK THAT IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CONTAINS TWO PAIR OF JORDAN’S THAT I LIKE THE OTHER PACKS ARE JUST A WAY TO MAKE PEOPLE BUY SHOES THEY DONT WANT THIS IS CRAZY AND IT WONT STOP BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BUY THEM JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE JORDANS
Comment by swanson — July 31, 2008 @ 8:43 am
I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO TO YOUR LOCAL RETAILER AND PURCHASE WHAT EVER JORDAN SHOE THAT YOU WANT THE DEMAND FOR J’S IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE SUPPLY THATS WHY THEY ARE ABLE TO CONTROL THE CONSUMERS BUYING POWER. WE AS CONSUMERS NEED TO TAKE BACK CONTROL ESPECIALLY WITH THE ECONOMY BEING THE WAY IT IS
CRAZY!!!!
Comment by swanson — July 31, 2008 @ 8:46 am
Even more reason to save my money for December.
Comment by dj.jbras — July 31, 2008 @ 8:49 am
I really wanted to get this pack the 3’s are my favorites but I hated the 20 the strap just kills the shoe for me. Now they make this ugly all black ones it makes the 20’s even worse. I maybe will still cop and use the 20’s to ball.
Comment by thakickboss11 — July 31, 2008 @ 8:56 am
They’ve done it again!
Somehow they’ve managed to turned a potentially good pack, for BOTH SHOES (had the Stealths been released) into another “One Hit Wonder.”
Now, the demand for single kicks in CDP’s are going to drive prices even higher online.
Comment by Darneezy — July 31, 2008 @ 9:02 am
Hey thats me at the end!!! Im famous LOL…
But really I dont think the 20’s are THAT bad but they could have come up with something different.
Comment by Kidkrazy — July 31, 2008 @ 9:06 am
oh wow these are whack.
Comment by anonymous — July 31, 2008 @ 9:19 am
these are the ugliest shoes in a cdp yet..but they are matched up with one of the sickest jordans so i might have to get this pack…
Comment by retro_tierno — July 31, 2008 @ 9:35 am
I hate these. This is such a one-sided pack now. Why JB why? I was actually looking forward to the XX’s much more than the III’s. Oh well, that’s $310 that’s staying in my pocket. And I hope they don’t do the XXI’s regional in the I/XXI pack. That would just upset me.
Comment by Dj75728 — July 31, 2008 @ 9:37 am
Scratch that, XXII’s. My bad ya’ll. I’m tired.
Comment by Dj75728 — July 31, 2008 @ 9:37 am
To the author of this article: Much respect for the heart to tell the facts. No need to hype these and you didn’t. The packs have become soooo disapointing. No more retro’s after these? Not leaving us sneakerheads many options. These are simply a joke. If I saw them on the streets I would assume they are fake. No quality anymore. Getting the III’s separate from the pack.
Comment by TGD — July 31, 2008 @ 9:47 am
SLAW! lol….the 20 (stealths wouldve killed here!) is comparable to the horrible a$$ 21 that came out (shouldve dropped the red italian suade)
Comment by aphro — July 31, 2008 @ 9:50 am
this colorway is hideous..i dont understand y jb didnt just retro the white red black colorway..or maybe the stealths or quick strikes…hoo ever oked theez..jeez..i wonder wat other stupid colorways your gonna approve…i was lookin foward to the XXz…now im just dissapointed…i hope this is a gas
Comment by Sanerio14 — July 31, 2008 @ 9:50 am
The should have made the Upper out of a Dark 3M, w/ lasering. These are dope, but once they get messed up, its a wrap. some sort of 3m integration would have been dope though.
Comment by BXKix10 — July 31, 2008 @ 10:03 am
These should have been so much better.
In my opinion, the XX’s were a decent shoe, however, this “Black Cat” version is simply not good enough. Shame on JB for just cash grabbing, with one great shoe, and one below average shoe.
Comment by Stoj23 — July 31, 2008 @ 10:17 am
these r mad ugly, they shuda release the white patent leather ones, those is hot, see now ima have to skip out on this pack

Comment by big dre — July 31, 2008 @ 10:30 am
Man, them XX’S are hideous. They look too bootleg. I like the XX’S but this colorway was a bad idea. Only a clown with no style will be rocking those joints.

Lol, A clown with no style. Call me a clown cause you would catch me on the court with these ballin’ hard.

Comment by cosmo10292 — July 31, 2008 @ 11:21 am
they shoulda came out with the stealths, that would have been the best pack, now im not coppin
Comment by alex2223 — July 31, 2008 @ 11:22 am
The design on those XX’s are just about as goofy as they come. The 3’s in the pack aren’t worth $305 out of the box for added garbage.
Comment by opus138 — July 31, 2008 @ 11:24 am
THESE ARE GARBAGE…I CANT BELIEVE THAT JORDAN BRAND COULD COME OUT WITH THESE…THEY ARE GARBAGE…IT WOULDVE BEENA BETTER PACKAGE IF THEY WOULDVE CAME OUT WITH THE STEALTHS…BUT DAMN THESE ARE SO FREAKIN GARBAGE…BUT IMA HAVE TO STIL BUY THEM FOR THE 3′S…OTHER HALF ILL SELL ON EBAY…

I swear if that 11/12 pack has a low 11 then I will take my entire Jordan collection and burn them all! LOL. Ok that ain’t true but I’ll be really mad and never support JB again
Comment by Austin — July 31, 2008 @ 11:50 am
@Austin: 11/12 pack will be Black/Red 11’s(from 2001) with Taxi 12’s. Already confirmed, so no LE’s thankfully. What if they release a 15 Moc in the 8/15 pack, I’d buy that
Comment by Dj75728 — July 31, 2008 @ 12:06 pm
abelino, you’re idiot, period, point blank. Why does a person have to be “broke” or have to say they “can’t afford them” because they make a pass on the CDP?
Honestly, there’s NO POINT in paying $310 ($330+ when you add tax) for ONE SHOE you like and then stuck with one you won’t even take out to look at. ESPECIALLY this pack.
It’s not even “worth” an actual “I’ll think about it,” all because of the III’s in the pack. I’d rather spend almost $300 for the III’s alone, rather than WASTE the dough on the entire pack… as much as I’m sure others will also.
This is why sites like Citysole and FCNY/LA offer the sneakers in “half packs” because people don’t want GARBAGE paired with the greatest of the greats.
All we heard/read about was this idea of the “Countdown Pack,” pairing some of the best Jordans with one another, in celebration of the XX3 and the 23rd year of the Jordan sneaker, then we get bamboozled and hit upside the head with weak colorways and are supposed to buy them?
You can have them (these), because fact of the matter of this, if those all black XX’s were released when the Regional XX first dropped, it would’ve been in the outlests, faster than Burlington Coat Factory gets defective clothing.

Black Regionals XX’s,that’s it!?…C’mon where is the creativity JB.. I could’ve jus dyed my red/white midwest regional XX’s and came up wit these. lol
Comment by jerronimo — July 31, 2008 @ 12:36 pm
THIS IS A DEFINITE PASS!! I AGREE WIT MATT as everyone has been saying its the 23 Countdown pack, so Numbers add up to 23 - and it just so happens to be a HOT SELLER, AND and OUTLET DUST PAIR! Not to mention they try to make us think its hot by making the weak pair a different colorway, or change minor details..Im glad I sold my jordans a few years ago, and I was kinda excited with the concept of the CDP’s - but I have yet to buy a single one! My only assurance lies with the XI/XII PACK!! THOSE (CROSS MY FINGERS) WILL BE LEFT ALONE and True to Form!! PLEASE!!

These Jordan 20s are a MAJOR let down.
JB really needs to start consulting with influencers like Matt to at least get SOME good input. Like mic check 212 said, this shoe is like a Soulja Boy track next to any Run DMC classic hahaha.
smh JB, smh. I was really looking forward to this year, but honestly, only the Jordan 23s and maybe 3 packs have been worth copping.

Comment by jheadforever — July 31, 2008 @ 1:37 pm
I hope Jordan Brand or Nike has people reading feedback like this. I know they check ebay to see public interest. These are way beyond bad. You can get a nice pair of Js on ebay from a reputable seller for the $310 plus tax ($330 where I’m from).
Like someone above said, this is just Jordan saying we will buy whatever they produce.
Comment by Pissed — July 31, 2008 @ 1:48 pm
@jheadforever: pickyourshoes.com, flightclubla.com or flightclubny.com, 23isback.com. I wouldn’t recommend 23iswack though as they’re overpriced.
Comment by Dj75728 — July 31, 2008 @ 1:49 pm
In a year that we are supposed to “Countdown” the Jordan shoes in what many thought would be a year of “greatest hits”, the trend seems to be that a package consists of one chart topper, and one ringtone rap classic.
^haha thats classic and basically sums up these packages
Comment by Jon Blaze — July 31, 2008 @ 1:50 pm
these are nice. when its wit da 3’s den they gonna be tight! dis pack is a must cop 4 me.

look fake
Comment by Terry Davis — July 31, 2008 @ 2:17 pm
im not completing hating on them, because i love black sneakers, but i was also lookin forward to the stealths so ima have to pass on these ima still get the pack and try to get rid of these for atleast 100 because to me the threes are worth the 200…look at flight club, there selling for over 200 on there…so if ur a die hard fan of the IIIs i would still cop and jus sell this half of the pack there is gonna be people wanting this black cat version of the xx no matter how wack it is

Mess with the fusions and those 6 rings, but please leave the Numbered Signature shoes alone. Maybe the worst I’ve seen.
Comment by leftover — July 31, 2008 @ 3:02 pm
well, i never liked the 20’s. i never knew how to wear em. guys would let those straps cuff around their jeans. i dont like that. but for me, going plain black for shoes like this works for me. i guess the black ones are better, but those came out 3 years ago. thats too soon. and you guys know it. so why are you guys getting mad? they would never release that same color so close in time
Comment by BK-Big-Jay — July 31, 2008 @ 3:03 pm
wow…
i was so excited about October
and then i hear pics of the 20s r up
but then i c them
and they r ugly… they r actually ugly
im so confused… i jus dont understand
how could yu possibly mak da 20s ugly
its lik they are purposely tryin 2 mak 1 shoe superior 2 the other 1
Comment by Dizzle — July 31, 2008 @ 3:48 pm
these shoes are horrible!!!! I’m a real 23 fan i bought 2 packs so far and liked 2 shoes. I hope jb has someone to read all this sh@t and see how many people hate these. I guess i’ll have 3 packs with 3 pair of shoes i like now. those 3’s are most haves!!!!!
Comment by mr gentry — July 31, 2008 @ 4:13 pm
Third best pack so far……..many of yall don’t like the XX so I’m guessing yall would hate it regardless of the color.
I’ll rather have this then the 4/19 or the 7/16
Comment by luck — July 31, 2008 @ 4:20 pm
cant believe everyone is hatin on the XX’s so bad, ofcourse everyone is gonna get the pack for the 3’s I am just glad that they did do a Black Cat XX. Its something different. I hav always bought every single AJ, and the XX wasnt one of my fav’s but to bring it back in this pack with a different flavor is a good idea. Original is good, thats where the 3 comes in, but i bet out of all the XX’s this color is better then the others. Even the Pic Air Daniel has are pretty good (look at comment 32)

……….JB let’s get serious now! the stealth 20’s were the most sickest jays when they came out…and i still think they’re sick today (besides 23’s). But regional?? come on JB…..i swear if the 11/12 pack is messed up it’s a rap for me for sure!!. I’m already calling it quits after that pack anyways because JB is taking a “2 year break” after this year so…….later JB it was nice knowing you! lol

No Deal!!!
Comment by Slim — July 31, 2008 @ 5:24 pm
JORDAN BRAND: THE PUBLIC HAS SPOKEN. YOU HAD A KILLER COMBO (CDP) IN THE MAKING AND YOU SCREWED IT UP AGAIN WITH THESE GENERIC LOOKING 20′S. I WANT THE IDIOT AT JB WHO CAME UP WITH THE ALL BLACK COLOR SCHEME TO BE FIRED. YOU SUCK AND DEFINITELY DO NOT GET IT.
GREEDY IDIOTS. WILL NOT COP, I’M SICK OF THIS ISH.
Comment by glen mac — July 31, 2008 @ 5:51 pm
it’s like NIKE/JB had a surplus of these that didn’t sell and decided to pawn them off in this CDP.
WHAT A JOKE!

Comment by 2dollabillyall — July 31, 2008 @ 6:10 pm
those look real comfortable
Comment by rafael — July 31, 2008 @ 6:40 pm
man why didnt they just do the stealths? disgusting, im still gonna get the pack though because the III’s by themself are going to be just as expensive.
Comment by pup — July 31, 2008 @ 6:45 pm
Not going to buy this mess. Come on, Nike/JB! We can tell you’re giving us 1 sorry Jordan (in my opinion the III in this case!) and 1 good Jordan (XX), making one suede and one leather. All the count down packages have 1 leather and 1 suede to keep prices down. I’d pat $325-$350 if they’d release OG-like retros in each pack. I’ll just pray the AJFXXs will come out right.
Comment by WILLYWILL82 — July 31, 2008 @ 6:49 pm
No no no no no, not going to get this pack!
Comment by lo — July 31, 2008 @ 7:09 pm
Looks like these shoes have the same material as the Jordan 17 CDPs.. which mean they will scuff up in transport, and have all sorts of markings by the time you take em out of the box, which means they won’t be worth nothing to no one.
Comment by Slippy — July 31, 2008 @ 7:16 pm
This reminds me of the VII /XVI pack. I got to Finish Line and looked at the Hares and almost laughed. They looked terrible in person and felt cheap. Left them there disapointed. Can you hear us JB?
Comment by cantdoit — July 31, 2008 @ 7:45 pm
nice
Comment by rising_tied — July 31, 2008 @ 8:23 pm
SERIOUSLY WTF is up with jb?
these just screwed up the package i like the XX’s but these are just fugly, just bring out the stealths give us what we want
Comment by JP — July 31, 2008 @ 8:37 pm
Man i was looking forward to get the black clement 3’s with the red white and black 20s, a pair that i wanted when they came out and my brother was able to take me. i had forgotten about them and when the packs were coming out i thought this could be a chance to get those shoes but now i 310 for the 3s makes me think again.
Comment by That Guy — July 31, 2008 @ 9:32 pm
Why laser the whole shoe? should’ve kept it simple like the OG’s then these would’ve been more respectable in the public eye. But my personal opinion is still out
Comment by atxboy25 — July 31, 2008 @ 10:03 pm
those are garbage
i am deffinetly selling em when
i get this pack.. if anyone would even buy em
Comment by Mark — July 31, 2008 @ 10:11 pm

anyone who likes these XX’s are sooooooo corny and the 3’s forget about it.although i wanted the black colorway, the tired ass jumpman on the heel looks like it will start craking after a few wears.beside i got the retro white cement ,the flips, and the fire red 3’s so this pack is a definite nexttttttttttt

Comment by da718general — August 1, 2008 @ 2:37 am
I don’t understand why so much people don’t like the 20’s, Tinker whent a whole different way with this design because it doesn’t look like a ordinary shoe but it works as a real performance shoe and that’s just what a basketball shoe need. I love the 20’s and I find it is the most beautiful shoe design till now.
Comment by Jan-Maarten — August 1, 2008 @ 6:34 am
WTF…these XX look like house shoes!

Comment by dabombfactory — August 4, 2008 @ 12:25 am
I’m glad these comin. Now I can finally wear all black wit a pair of J’s on, and they look straight. The 3’s are fire to.
Comment by kickz2fresh — August 4, 2008 @ 9:40 am
cause I couldn’t get the Black Cat 3’s
Comment by kickz2fresh — August 4, 2008 @ 7:05 pm
These look TER-EI-BULL… Its like all the kicks in the CDP look like your local hustle mans bootlegs (as far as quality is concerned) or they just put one fugly shoe in with a classic… 7/16 CDP was the best package thus far… it had a grail and it had another classic OG… if this continues i cant say imma buy more and i have a feeling they are going to destroy the beloved 11/12 package and ruin my whole X-Mas lol
Comment by DMVsneakerFiend — August 4, 2008 @ 9:03 pm
This package will do well. Although i like the stealths better, this black/black colorway is hot. The reflective designs is a plus. And you cant go wrong with the classic black/cement 3’s.
Comment by irunthachi92 — August 5, 2008 @ 7:20 pm
WACK, WACK, WACK, WACK. THAT IS ALL I AM GOING TO SAY ABOUT THESE I WAS NEVER A FAN OF THE 20′S

Comment by rodney — August 11, 2008 @ 1:47 am
these arent too bad. Im actually digging them. some black cat 20’s with the lasering on it. not too shabby. i really want the 3’s tho, so regardless im getting the pack, gotta see how the 20’s fit and look on me before i decide if i’ll keep them or not.
Comment by Mercy151 — August 23, 2008 @ 4:22 pm
these is mad ugly…they look like funeralshoes.Does ne1 kno wen da 11/12 package come out?
