Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

The annual shoe releases.

The Nike shoe is not yet available. It will be at MDen a week from tonight on 8/13 and will be $110. It's Free Trainer 8

And here is the Jordan shoe that was released a couple weeks ago. MDen is sold out in pretty much every size but you can get these directly from Nike at Nike.com. They're the AJ Trainer 5 and they cost $125.

This is a curious comment after reading M gear (along with Cal and Marquette) mentioned in the post about UNC players selling shoes... and the user who claims Poole sells stuff on his IG... WD you better be clean!

Joking aside, I expect compliance to look into that guy calling us out. Plenty of ways to acquire them that don't involve player violations and I hope nothing turns up.

My running shoes for a while were a pair of team-issue Adidas trainers, which were little more than a white Adidas stock shoe with maize and blue accents and a little Block M tab on the shoelaces. Got them through a family member who knew an assistant coach for a non-revenue sport back then. Honestly, they weren't anything special.

That being said, those were offered and given without being asked for. It was just a "hey, what's your shoe size?" and the next time they saw them, boom, box of shoes. Shaking people down for team gear strikes me as weird.

I wish the athletic department would do what Oregon does and basically have a surplus sale where they they sell all of their athletic gear from the previous season to fans discounted prices. Like they'd sell jerseys for $50 and shoes for $75. It would be great way for the department to make some extra money, get rid of surplus, and garner fan support and excitement. Like look how hype this looks. You can get shirts, jerseys, helmets, shoe PEs

They did that for years and years. Used to be the UM Club of Ann Arbor ran it (IIRC), it was in Cliff Keen the first few years I went. It was mostly practice gear, but lots of interesting things if you poked around. Then the Athletic Department took it over, had it in the Track and Tennis Building for a few years, then let it die during the RR era. It got to be kind of a fiasco. The hockey program still does theirs every spring, but that tends to be more hockey gear.

In short, it’s been done, and Athletics doesn’t seem keen on doing it again.

Last pair of Michigan shoes I bought (Nike V7 day zero) I got on Black Friday. I’ve worn them 3 time OSU, South Carolina, and the National Championship game. Of course Michigan lost all 3. Those mother fuckers are cursed, don’t buy them.

I like the AJ Trainer 5s.  

Just bought a pair on Fanatics.  If you have an Amex, check your Amex Offers, I had a $15 off $100 discount for Fanatics.

Man, our football players are in no danger of trying to resell these shoes in the secondary market.  Those are just butt ugly.  What about some classic Jordan 3's that are white and have slight maize and blue highlights!?

I like both pair.  Different strokes.  Some people still wear Chuck Taylor’s, no need to bitch and moan about other people’s tastes.  Thanks WD!!!

It's almost as if they're trying to only release the worst stuff for the fans. I bought and love the Jordan 32's but most of the rest I've seen is just awful.

I love Michigan and our colors as much as the next guy, but they just don't work as the only colors in a shoe. Unless you're a Michigan athlete, these and all other team shoes look pretty tacky.
