In response to the sole not having that slant, we all know about it but we know it isn't something we can change and also it is not something that really stands out as the nike mag "the shoe with the side slant bottoms" so we all just overlook it, at the end of the day these shoes are MP replicas and the MP could never pull that slant thing off
Makes sense, though I do think the slanted bottoms and protruding clear area on the outer sole adds to the overall aesthetic and futuristic feel of the shoe. It makes you think "I've never seen that on a shoe before... must be something they figure out in 2015."
