XI’s restocking and no one cares. What a time! Everyone eats! I Love it. Hope it stays like this through the Columbia release because I’m gonna stock up on those beauties :nthat:

Man you’re 100% correct. The whole discussion started because the post from one of the sneaker tubers said these are better than the OG and I literally commented “opinions are not facts.”Guy hit all in his feelings and said that dumb ****. I actually like the shoe but I guess that’s not good...

This clown on IG just told me that these are “structurally and objectively superior to the ‘89.” Like dude if you want to say you prefer the leather aesthetic , hey whatever floats your boat. But to say these are structurally superior is dumb on so many levels I’m gonna have to refrain from...

Some pairs I’ve seen have been more dull. Could be a pair by pair situation or dare I say ….which factory they come from 🤣

Is it? XI‘s are notorious for the pinky toe issue if that’s what you’re referring to and sizing up a half size doesn’t always help, you just have on a too big shoe that’s still uncomfortable.

Yeah everyone’s foot is different, 8’s are just so clunky and hot because there is little breathability. I will say I haven’t had the opportunity to wear a pair of recent 8’s.

I hope I can get a slightly less ”artificially tumbled” pair. Which factory gonna have the least tumble? 🤣 Either way these are looking much better than I expected when the first pics started to leak.

Dude sounds like he’s trying his hardest to sound like Mike Rich

These look much better than some of the earlier pics I’ve seen with the glossy leather.

Great now I can look forward to a bunch of grown men crying about how they’re “creasing too easily.” 😒

Yeah I’m 40 and I’m just now getting to the realization that my foot went up a half size the last few years and I have a whole collection of size 10’s that are snug asf. I don’t wear my sneakers very often at this point of my life. If someone was to see me in public 9/10 I have on a pair of Crocs 😂

I haven’t worn any recent 13’s. I have the flints from a couple years back but I haven’t gotten around to wearing them yet.

I’m gonna hold on to my 2019’s simply because I’ll always prefer to have the shoe with the original materials and now with this reimagined pair it pretty much guarantees we won’t see a true retro for another 4 years.

Yeah as far as comfort goes any retro outside of a 3 just isn’t comfortable if that’s what you’re looking for, and even those aren’t comfortable when you compare them to modern sneakers. I don’t work out in Jordan’s and I don’t even hoop in Jordans at this point. The XI that I’ve worn the most...

We getting a shock drop this week or nah?

Well there was an OG XI with a leather upper if my memory serves me correctly. Outside of the lace loops it’s not a foreign concept. yeah no.

What are you talking about “true to OG but they have a leather upper” ?? Neither pair is an OG XI so I don’t understand what point you’re making here. I just know this shoe as far as shape and aesthetics looks closer to what I had as a kid. Everything that came after the ‘00/‘01 releases looked...

We gotta normalize not propping up the older releases just because they are older. JB has its issues with quality control etc, but they always have since before they were even JB. Some of the older retros were trash. It is what it is, after the first retro era some time around 2005-2006 ****...

$330 is crazy

I haven’t gotten a QFT since my old ISS/sole collector days lol
