SouthPole bites Jordan Brand (Air Jordan XI) with the BioFuel

| October 20, 2008 | Comments (50)

What are some of these sneaker companies thinking? We’ve seen some serious biters in the sneaker culture, but this my friends is sad. As the title reads, SouthPole bites Jordan Brand with the BioFuel. Any Jordan head can easily see that the BioFuel is a horrible copy of the Bred Air Jordan 11 (as seen in our banner). Can people even use the word original anymore when it comes to sneaker designs? We know a lot of people caught feelings when they first laid eyes on Gourmet’s Air Jordan inspired Fall 2008 Sneaker Collection, and SouthPole’s BioFuel will most likey get the same response.

Over the years we’ve seen some shady moves, and terrible sneaker designs but this takes the cake thus far. The BioFuel ticket price is $70, and thanks to SoleCollector for the info. This is another sad case of sneaker biting gone wrong. BioFuel, that’s a lame name anyways…

We have to ask for your thoughts in the comments section.

    lol i seen these on the slam magazine

    at first i was like what is jordan doing now
    and then i saw that is was southpole

    i woould never wear them but they are cheaper than
    jordans

  8. Zack Black says:

    if you said southpole sneaker….i would say hell no you dont even have to show me a picture

  9. Izzo says:

    The type of person that rocks South Pole, is probably the same type of person that rocks fake kicks. So…in a strange, fugazi way, it almost makes sense.

  10. 50yen says:

    mann what’s the release date for those!!!! I need em in my life..LOL isn’t marques Houston or mario advertise for southpole?..horrible

  11. sneakerman says:

    DAMN THEY WORST THEN FAKE JORDANS

  12. Nightwing2303 says:

    Thats just tuurable…

  13. brettTHEjett says:

    well…

    this is unfortunate, but it’s obvious that JB will kill it’s self blinded by dollar signs in their eyes, before a rip off would. These are just like fakes, and conveniently priced like fakes.

    these don’t touch the ‘game’ as much as fakes do.but i can see a day where chinese rip offs have better quality than actaul JB

  14. CenValCali says:

    I’m gonna go 2 Mervyn’s to cop matchin Southpole fits 4 these freakin ugly shark biter’s shoes that should neva left the assembly line in some third world country.

  15. c brown says:

    Why is Sole Collector Mag doing an article on these anyway??? There are a million wack sneaker companies that bite AF1 and JB all the time….magazines should be giving them shine…Sole Collector its writers and editors should know better then to showcase these horrible knockoffs..

  16. Gar says:

    WOW THAT’S HEATTTT!1!1

  17. scout says:

    WAT DA F***. LIKE FOR REAL, fake shoes is one thing, but SOUTH F***ING POLE. KILL YO SELF EXPEDITIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!

  18. DRE says:

    I’m playin ball in these… TODAY

  19. UsweatMYkicks says:

    South pole is fuckin wack anyways. they copied JB on purpose to get exposure. and its workin. we talkin about it…right?

  20. southpole already gets a bad rap for their clothing…….and this doesnt help em at all!!!!

  21. lil raisin says:

    lol… poor man 11′s/// cant wait to see some1 with them lol/….flame on !!

  22. 4DRUMZ says:

    JB is always knocking itself off… why not Southpole! I guess for Jordan and JB it’s a little better to be self-deprecating and somewhat flattering what SouthPole is doing! I agree… Sole Collector should feel shame for even covering these!

  23. Jerronimo says:

    Wow…..those are WHACK!

  24. flyyguyy says:

    The man what’s next an akademiks biter shoe for the jordan 3s man this is just like those filas that look like prada cups the shoe game is done yo

  25. Mr.310 says:

    THEY LOOK LIKE SOME SORRY A** BOXING SHOE’S THAT NEVER GOT USED!!!

    WHO EVER GETS THESE KICK FOR COLLECTION… U MIGHT AS WELL SELL UR SOUL TO THE FAKE SHOE MAKERS!LOL

  26. FillUp703 says:

    I just threw up in my mouth a little

  27. DaVe516 says:

    worst the them fila fake pradas

  28. jaime says:

    This is no different than what other companies have done with the AF1…unacceptable.
    Biting is biting, period.

    Yet some folks still chose to accept those AF1 biter’s kicks…that shit is just as embarassing as this.

  29. TokyoMike says:

    I love these…..I love any/everything Southpole makes…..that’s all I rock (Apart from Crocs…..)

    Now, excuse me while I tie a piece of rope from a tree branch and hang myself…….

  30. Markiss says:

    Damn I’m def gonna cop 2 pairs, OH wait I didn’t have my glasses on (new perscription) thought these were the bred 11′s but instead their the living abortion step-child.

  31. ChicoDusty says:

    No disrespect to any of my Latinos for what I am about to say… There will be a WHOLE LOT OF ESAYS rocking these.. SMH WTF….

  32. AsH says:

    HahahahahaahhaahhaahahahahhHHAHAAHahahahahA!!!! What can I say that hasn’t been already said? Real talk tho how did they make it onto the cover of sole…. right? Kicks off court of all things wow? Id wear these if these were given to me… to take out the trash after steping in it… or go rock climbing or sum sh!t were I’d f@^k them up so bad you’d think they were jordans at sum point..from a distance!!!!!

  33. domi(dom-e) says:

    ahhhhhh snaps!!!! i hope they drop the space jam, and the concord verson of these so i could have some to laugh at!!!! south pole ant been hot since…1990-never…lmao!!!!!

  34. AF1_G33K says:

    Hahaha, i’m coppin’ X2.

  35. Foxmulder says:

    How is this any different than Bape copying the AF1? The only diff is the price point and limitability.

    If these sneakers were “designed” by Nigo in some fruity colorway and rocked by Pharrell all the while costing a dime and a leg, you can bet all the little hypebeasts would be snapping them up and reselling them on Ebay.

  36. sneaky913 says:

    cheaper then jordan but same quality

  37. Theshoeguy says:

    Be better if they didn’t say Southpole on them.

  38. 2legit2quitt says:

    HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN. IS SOUTH POLE FUCKIN SERIOUS? MAN I WOULD BURN EM. SOULJA BOY SHULD WEAR THESE.

  39. j.ny says:

    Its all about the money as everyone knows. The common mentality of mostly every company outside of nike/j.b., addidas and puma…..”Lets take what worked for them, add our little distinct b.s., and make some money off of these idiots!!!!”…and hey sometimes it works…look at bape and ect.

  40. j.ny says:

    And also smart idea on south poles part….putting this through S.C. Mag….that’s smart marketing on there behalf trying 2 attract the “sneaker heads”. But shame on S.C. For actually going along with this b.s.!!

  41. macabrecrown666 says:

    if anyone is thinking of getting these, let me put it to you this way, you are going to have to go sneaker shopping at SEARS. enough said.
    By the way, there is nothing worse than fakes, they represent all that is wrong with this world. A sneakerhead’s punishment in hell is being forced to make and wear fakes for all eternity.

  42. JRa says:

    Those are probably made for people who are less fortunate and live in third world countries..What if you seen NBA players rocking them? That’ll be CRAZY!

  43. Nick says:

    these joints are hot garbage! If you check the link to SC you’ll realize I’m not down for this BS in ANY WAY…

    Did anyone else really think someone could out-terrible the Helmsman this year?

  44. brettTHEjett says:

    Those are probably made for people who are less fortunate and live in third world countries.

    …..yeah like the U.S.A

  45. 4DRUMZ says:

    Maybe SC got the price wrong and they’re supposed to be $7… you know… like the Marbury’s! I can say that because I’ve got a pair of AF1 knock-off Marbury’s… it’s my dirty little secret… I wear them… and I LIKE IT!

  46. tjholmes26 says:

    Lol heeeeelarious!!! This should be illegal.

  47. Los Man says:

    these are mad comfortable yo. And no one can tell they are south pole joints when i rock plastic bags over them. I just hear, “those are some fresh 11′s. Good idea on how to keep them clean.” I just nod and keep it moving.

  48. can I get those at Payless, Walmart, or Kmart?

  49. STRICTLY FOR THE WANGSTAS
