The BrandBlack Ether is finally available to purchase.
The Ether features the same tooling as the J Crossover 3, so you’ll receive the same traction and amazing cushion from these bad boys. Obviously the upper is completely different and offers a premium classic vibe while remaining modern. Utilizing ballistic mesh, Fuse welding, and suede paneling achieves the Ether’s unique look.
I felt these to be more supportive along the upper while still retaining the tooling that I enjoyed from the JC3. They’re also a little cheaper as they retail for $120.
This Olive version of the shoe is available now at BAITme.com but more colorways are set to release next week.
How’s the fit and sizing?
Go tts or 1/2 size down for snug fit.
Just waiting for the tweet/fb post/IG/etc launching the Weartesters PE…
I’m in that camp, too.
flames- wouldn’t rock em on court though
They don’t come with the JC3 shroud? I remember photos of the shoes with shrouds. Anyway, the toe area of the these and the JC3s are different so I’ll get at least one pair in a 12.5 for sizing purposes.
This is dope too, but I prefer the Weartesters colorway. Wish they’re available for purchase but it definitely won’t be.
Hey nightwing, I have a question to the containment of the ethers. I read some Reviews of the JC3s, which said, that they really do not contain the foot on the footbed on lateral movements. So I decided to pass on them. Do you think the Ethers will have a better containment? I really need containment and I hate sliding over the footbed while doing cuts or changes of direction…
Thanks for everything! I really appreciate all the Infos and work you put in Weartesters!
I’m really curious about this too, its the only thing preventing me from buying them.
These are FIRE. Can’t wait for the Weartesters Ed.
Sneakerhead confession: I like Brandblack’s offering more than the current nike shoes on the market.
I like these. Looks like you’d be able to wear them around casually for any situation, but also ball in them in a snap.
Exactly !
These look casual more than anything..
They look casual but Josh Smith wore a pair recently in game.
I tried to grab a pair of these but, they sold out in my size. Brandblack is selling fast!
