Jordan Flipsyde
Posted by Alex Kroviak | Oct 7, 2009
Last year, the Flipsydes dropped to disappointed reviews. For this coming November, they’re back, but can these AJXII-inspired models change the opinions and avoid the outlets? Drawing design cues from the “Taxi” XIIs and “Flu Game” XIIs, these will drop in two new colorways. The black pair is accented with a red outsole, leather toe caps and heel logos. The other uses black leather for accents on white uppers. Both feature mid-panel eyelets in red or gold. For added heel protection, the Flipsyde features a heel air bubble and an uppers made entirely of pebbled leather. Believe it or not, but there was a time when old school skaters were anti-Nike SB. Much has changed since, obviously. Can Jordan Brand transfer its dominance from hoops sneakers to the skate market, or is this another anti-purist move hurting JB’s image? |

Hey Dwight, I was stating my personal status on the subject that you had brought up. I was not trying to talk sh*t to you or call you out. So assuming (once again) that I am some jock who poses as a skater was a bit uncalled for. If you want to try and start punk azz internet fights then be my guest but I dont feel the need to go down to SD and talk to any of your homegirls about skating or if they know what the flu game is… cuz really I dont care who knows what flu games are or what jordans these are linked to. Half the people buying these cheap excuses for a skate shoe arent skating in them, they think they are real Air Jordans. But you can have your thoughts about anyone and everyone if you so choose, its all good with me.

jordan brand kill yourself.

um yeah, to the cry babbies itzpaqmanb and Nightwing2303…
you narrowminded children act like i’m directly talking to you.
go to thrasher, or slap or transworld blog and ask any of those kids what the “flu game” shoe was and you’ll get laughed at.
so nightwing, you are a jock that fronts as a skater. that doesn’t even count. you probably carry your board by your trucks if you even do skate. come down to washington street park SD and ask any of us what the “flu game” jordan was and see what the reaction will be.

DwightSchrute - Im a skater and Im a basketball player. I know what ALL Js are about since I grew up watching him. I have used many Js to skate in from the AJ1, AJ 3,4 &5 along with The AJ12. So dont just assume that skaters arent fans of sports, and dont participate in sports other than skating. Now I personally think that JB making a skate shoe isnt the worst thing that they could be doing, but if your going to do something do it right. I thought the first Fltpside was cheap and uncomfortable and would rather skate barefoot than in these. This version looks more rugged but still a bad shoe.

skateboarding and Jordan just don’t mix. the only relation Jordan had with skateboarding were the Jordan 1’s. other than that no skater will know about the “flu game” or what jordan these are linked to.
As if Nike SB, and 6.0 weren’t enough.
Oct 7, 2009 at 1:08 pm
