2 things I did that really worked well
1. Just removing the insoles made the shoe too stiff. I removed the insoles but I wore 2 layers of socks. I wear thin nike black socks.
2. Now this is very interesting, I experimented with gel heel cushions and I felt less pressure on my toes for some reason.
My mom bought me these when I was 12; these were my first jordans. Someone posted more than a year ago to bring back the carmines. And guess what happened.
That's the f ing reason I'm looking for those exact sneakers right at this moment.

I bought two packs just because I never had the XI OG or the 01 retro (or any XI). But the first time I wore the XI I knew something was off thiseven without a point of comparison. Someone posted it takes a break in time for the XI like some other 90's era sneakers.
Good point. I got 2 packs myself. I feel bad for the other guy looking for a size 12. And I'm not a reseller. I wouldn't knock people withlow post count , everyone started at ZERO.
XI's feel like the sole is made of plywood. Stiff as hell. Can't imagine balling with these shoes. The XII's feel amazing. It could be thedifference between the tech used between the shoes. XI's being airsole, and the XII being zoom air. Never owned an XI before so some of you people canjudge it...
