The sneaker industry is filled with renovated and refurbished designs. Companies from across the industry often borrow cues from each other, the Jordan Melo M5 borrowing midsole characteristics from the AND1 Onslaught Mid a prime example. We all thought Bape hijacking the iconic Air Force 1 silhouette would be the lowest move on the board. But then there was the facsimile FILA Helmsman forcefully adopting from Prada. And now there’s the Southpole BioFuel—a blatant appropriation of the Jordan XI (11). The ‘Fuel is moderately priced costing only $70, but really, is there anything more here than just another pair of bootleg pair of kicks you can buy at your local convenience store on the down low? At least those have a Jumpman on them! Via SC and Slam.

Gross
I hope they have some clear ones in carolina blue soon!
I dont see why people get so offended and worked up over it.. either you buy them or not … there are too many other important things in life than to be loyalist to jordan who probably is getting royalties off of this.. Love jays but honestly WHO THE **** CARES!!!!!
y would anybody buy anything 4rm southpole they been played out for about 4 years now
AS for the comment about disrespecting jordan brand.. i take it as a disrespect when jb hikes up prices and lowers quality of the same exact shoe they sold 10 years ago.. prices i understand but quality… ?
I hope the people at southpole get aids
They Might as well do that. The Jordan Brand is flooding the market with bullshit *** mixes of different jordans and ****. Jordan has taken it too far, its like they are reaching to sell anything with a jumpman symbol.
The shoe game I feel is taking a hit with the Retro craze. Nothing is sacred anymore so it leads to releases like this.
its ****** southpole what do you expect? And when has southpole ever been considered hot? That **** is for bum niggas…
Freddy and rome said it best.**** jb its gone too far.im still gonna buy certain shoes from them…..but im gonna mean mugg the cashier when I do it!
Everybody is always talking trash about JB but they will still spend the cash on the kicks so just shut up and cop! Stand up and don't buy them or shut up and cop, period.
