I actually got rid of these just today. Only have the 2019 pair now. . I think the red on the 19s is closer to OG though. Overall 19s are better even though I loved my 01s since they were the first blk red 11s I ever owned.

I had the 2001 Air Jordan 11 Black/red pair in my 9th grade year. Came out 12/15/2001 for $125. They were a very EASY purchase considering how high the demand was. I remember having a $160 Nike product voucher from returning the charcoal/red Flightposite 1’s. Of course, I saved it to use it on those that year. I remember waking up at 12am EST. to go on Nike.com to get them. Full size run and ordered my size 11 with no issues.
Later that morning, my brother wanted to get his pair at footlocker at Iverson mall here in PG county. I went with him and it wasn’t any long lines, no stupid raffles, no guarantee tickets, and no nothing. Walked in, asked for his size, tried them on, paid for it, and left. I remember as we were leaving, that’s where we started to see more people coming in to get a pair. Back then, it was more exciting to get the newest retro J’s and more appreciated after getting your pair. I guess it’s because retros were still a new thing back then and people wanted more. I miss those days!
