I agree!
Do the 2019's LOOK like OG's, in this picture I took??
Someone on IG said they did.
Those shots you posted of the ogs almost made me disappointed in these tbh.

Honestly if the outsole had a been a vibrant true red, outside of material quality differences, aesthetically speaking these would have been almost 1:1 compared to the '96 originals (imo)
This is an excellent point and something I have thought many times. Colors might have been a bit different but not as much as it seems. The oxidation is a big reason for the color.Over time I have started questioning the outsole on the 96. Were they really that color on release? or are we looking at an oxidized outsole effect that was once a true red? Close up eastbay pics from back then look pretty close to what we got a few years ago. Is it possible for 25 year old outsole to oxidize to a max orange like color over time and be perceived as vibrant? The pic I posted a page or so back shows a clear difference of color from the jumpman to the outsole. I believe at one time they matched upon being made.
If the red sole was more of a true red, and brighter, I would say yes. They got the shape pretty close. Definitely #2 as retros so.

Can 100% verify with certainty that the dye has faded from the OGs producing a lighter shade. Even more so if the pair in comparison did not have the best storage.Over time I have started questioning the outsole on the 96.

Why yes..they do.

Good choice.I decided they're staying with me no matter what.
The 2016 "Space Jams" were the first step towards recreating the OG shape but they still needed some adjustments. When you sit them next to the '18 Concords, '19 Playoffs, etc the difference is very noticeable. From the Concords to the Cool Grey's JB improved the shape, with the Cool Grey's currently being the closest to the OG shape IIRC. However my point was that we still haven't gotten an actual Space Jam retro in the current mold as the pair we got in 2016 were MJ's PE's from the 1995 Eastern Conference Semi Finals I think? A proper retro of the movie pair has yet to occur.Thought space jams were the first of the 11s to actually be close to the original release?
And needs to.A proper retro of the movie pair has yet to occur.

With the exception of the shape, what else is missing other than 23 vs 45? The color was accurate to the movie pair.And needs to.
I agree. A Culumbia with a stitched 23 is needed with this new shape. We know they can hit the correct tint of blue on the outsole. But when they do decide to release an actual Space Jam, I want the same attention to detail. The 45 pe is a true favorite of mine regardless of shape. So I can wait.With the exception of the shape, what else is missing other than 23 vs 45? The color was accurate to the movie pair.
If they did a 23 retro in the cool grey mold, 9/10 people wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from the 2016 pair. I’d love a new pair of jams but I’d rather see them put effort towards some other pairs that haven’t seen a good retro in a while/ever.
