Southpole Biofuel
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.

  5. 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 FUCK CARES!!!!!

  9. They Might as well do that. The Jordan Brand is flooding the market with bullshit ass mixes of different jordans and shit. Jordan has taken it too far, its like they are reaching to sell anything with a jumpman symbol.

  10. The shoe game I feel is taking a hit with the Retro craze. Nothing is sacred anymore so it leads to releases like this.
