Nah I'm not old enough to have seen the OG XI. I joined NT in 2005 when I was literally still in my mother's womb.

Lol.
Back to what BigJ was saying. I, like him didn't notice a different in cuts from the OG to the 2000/2001s. As a 10 year old when the OGs came out, the last thing I cared about were patent height cuts. Shoot I could barely see anything on that blurry 13" tv with the rabbit antennas.
After all these releases I didn't notice it was such an issue with ppl. Only problem I remember was that ppl hated the CDP XI's because of their quality.

Don't forget that anything OG related is desired for the masses. If the OG had a flaw on all the pairs then people would want the flaw on the retros also.

Like those peaks... 
no biggie to me but again, I'd prefer the no peaks cut.

My thoughts exactly. It's one change from being absolute perfection: stitched 23.
Luckily I have been painting Ultra Boost and have the materials already to turn my DS pair into Breds. But, I still want a pair on ice. Guess I can pray for another restock.

I agree, but I think the 45 on the back of an XI problably going away for a while.

High cut may be OG but prefer the lower cut.

People that prefer the low cut never really experienced the OG.
The reason i prefer the higher cut is because it gives a similar look to the original, while the pairs after the Defining moments, do not ( which I wore to work today, funny enough.)
This is a good example. The "newer" pairs before the 16s wouldn't look like this......They`d look weird as hell This part of the video is what REALLY made me want them......

Only the true OG sneakerheads are gonna know where this is from, lol. (besides the title being at the top of the picture, lol)

I just like the high PL cut because it looks better. The fact that it is OG status is just icing on the cake. (Had the OGs as a kid too for whatever fictional credit that's worth.)

It's easy to see in pics but if you don't compare then it's a different issue.
I had gs OG 11s and they were just Jordans for me back then.
They dropped in 2000 and they passed the eye test for me even though the height and such had changed. They looked like 11s to me and the internet wasn't popping like that back then.
I STILL didn't bother to compare to the OG because they still looked like 11s to me then too.
The CDP and 09 jam patent DID NOT pass the eye test for me because the profile was so low that it was obvious and an issue. The last concords had an improved height to me so they were decent in my opinion.

All this patent leather talk regarding Concords and what not.... To this day, I still wish I was able to cop back then :'( I struck out hard body and didn't have the funds to afford resell. Now it will be 6 years later, I'm just going to wait for the next retro and I will be ready then.
