    Hey Guys! The Air Kiy is taking us in a bit of a different direction today. Here's a look at what they have to offer along with Chris' thoughts on the whole idea of them. Let us know yours down below. Thanks for watching!

    100% agree on the larger point of this video. Here's hoping the giants in the industry will change their release mechanisms, because current state is clearly not working for consumers that actually want the products.

    I remember back in the 80s and 90s being able to go into my local owned shoe store and buying Jordan's with no issue. If they weren't in stock they could order them no issue.

    I actually like how these look. Disappointed the materials aren’t high end with that $300 price point, so I would end up passing on these 💔

    Only Nightwing can give out these kind of reviews with a bigger point/perspective

    The idea of a pre order, an actual pre order I might add is wonderful. I don't mind waiting for production of the shoe. My pair is guaranteed. Especially when it's so difficult to cop pairs already made on release day. The brands love the frenzy of releases where some get them and others don't. Their logic is, you didn't get this shoe then you might buy something else. No I won't buy something else. I wanted that specific shoe. If I wanted something else I would have bought it already. Sorry for the rant.

    When Bape dropped those kicks Air Force 1 didn’t have a patent at the time

    Nike should do preorders. They can have you pay $50 up front and the rest when the shoe ships. On top of that they can make enough to keep the retail stores happy.

    The pre order idea is excellent. Virtually everything else clothing related I buy these days is through something like that, why not sneakers?

    The only bootleg Jordan worth are the Fugazi “One In the Chamber”and tbh Reps have been so good to the point it’s better than the actual shoe. Nike/Jordan releases this year have been so disappointing when it comes to quality

    The Bapestas and the Revenge Vans are simply expensive and "accepted" due the hype surrounding them.

    Seriously was contemplating on buying a few pairs but after watching your review, knowing your background on performance and materials throughout the years, I am definitely going to pass and save my money for something else. I'm happy you did this review because I was literally going to pull the trigger. thanks for the honest review..

    I'm a fan of SIA, where the man draws inspiration from things (like the Jordan 1), and puts some additional story telling in, and really puts quality materials on the upper

    I don’t know which one is more popular nowadays, sneakers or reselling…. Great video man.

    This is one of the best reviews I’ve ever seen. You make very valid points and I’m here for it. Preorders take a while to get but that’s understandable because it’s made to order. If this concept was applied to highly sought after sneakers, it would change the culture for the better. I personally like the look of the shoe (KIY) and the colorways but I refused to pay that much for a bootleg that’s poor quality. Great job on this review man.

    If these are $300, you can def find some Jordan 1’s for less than that on resell. These do look alright though.

    Pre-orders for shoes....one per household? Hmmmmm...Very good point!! But we know Nike, and Yeezy will not do that. That would just about kill resellers and make botting for kicks a thing of the past.

    So, about pre-orders, while on paper I think its an excellent idea, in practice, it probably wouldnt work so well. If they did that and actually made pairs per order, you start playing with the idea of pre-ordering months to a year in advance to accommodate manufacturing on mass demand for hyped releases, second the days of early pairs and getting reviews and knowing the quality before hand changes dramatically, perhaps they could do a small sample run, but even that far in advance, would the retails pairs even use the same quality materials by then. I think logistically it would be tough to do pre-orders so who ever wants one can get one, even if it is just a hours to days time window for pre-order availability, PLUS I think would probably want to do regular stock because their other partner retailers have to eat too, unless there was some way to pre-order through these retailers. A lot changes when you introduce pre-orders, I would be all for it if it made sense and improved the current sneaker climate, but its a slippery slope that I think could be disasterous, and things are already moving toward disaterous as it is.
