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

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.

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

  9. 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. 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

    Thats just tuurable…

  13. 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

    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..

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

  21. Comment by lil raisin October 20th, 2008 at 6:32 pm

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

  22. 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. Comment by Jerronimo October 20th, 2008 at 7:39 pm

    I just threw up in my mouth a little

  27. Comment by DaVe516 October 20th, 2008 at 8:13 pm

    worst the them fila fake pradas

  28. 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. 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…….

  35. Comment by Foxmulder October 20th, 2008 at 9:23 pm

    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. Comment by sneaky913 October 20th, 2008 at 10:07 pm

    cheaper then jordan but same quality

  37. Comment by Theshoeguy October 20th, 2008 at 10:42 pm

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

  38. Comment by 2legit2quitt October 21st, 2008 at 12:40 am

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

  39. 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. 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.!!

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

    …..yeah like the U.S.A

  45. LOL

  46. 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!

  47. Lol heeeeelarious!!! This should be illegal.

  48. Comment by Los Man October 21st, 2008 at 9:39 am

    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.

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

  50. STRICTLY FOR THE WANGSTAS
