All OG Jordans were pretty much a GR. You should be glad they are a GR, and you don't have to go too much out of your way to get a pair. I still remember being able to walk into Footlocker a good 3-4 months after the OG XI Concords dropped in '96, and picking up my pair. And then getting a pair of Columbias too. I bet people would love to not wait in line and get their pairs easily. I know I do. You should be hating on the bulk resellers that have their families waiting in line so they can make a quick buck. Those are the people that make me sick.Originally Posted by king0033
and with this... not sure how i feel, i am sick of everything being GR everyone has them which changes the idea of the XI being so sought after. when dudes who don't know +@%+ about shoes are rocking them just because they are expensive jordans, quite like we see now with spiz'ikes, it just seems to cheapen the idea of being a sneakerhead.

I still can't comprehend how the mold has changed so much since the last time a true 11 release, back in 2006 with the DMP XI's. It wasn't so long ago. What the hell happened seriously?

i aint doubting u at all. the new 11's shape does looks bad. they do look like fake 11's. when there on the feet they look a lil better then when there off but hopefully nxt year JB updates the molds for wateva 11 that drops then cuz i really am hatin these molds. but i was actually sayin to my homeboy last year in that i want a pair of cool grays b4 they was rumored to drop n i was very happy that they was confirmed.Originally Posted by Animal Thug1539
You're right; I see that. But I own 2 pairs of '01 concords and both have subtle differences. But overall, they're pretty much identical.
But when you compare these new XI's with the 00's-05's, you will see a big difference.
These new CG's look fake as hell.

It was the first XI to have an inverted Jumpman, and synthetic leather around the ankle. Additionally many DMPs had irregularly cut patent, I know my pair sure does. I also find the DMP to have the worst cushoning out of all XIs. Just an experience coming from someone with 95,96,00,01,03(ie)06,08,09 XIs. Also the last/mold for the new XIs (08,09 and 10) is a more accurate replica of the original 95/96 XIs than the 00 and 01 models,at least visually. Although I prefer the 00/01. Just my experience... Flame on!

French is right. Funny that you said that because I was just looking on ebay when I came across the DMP's and noticed how well those were made. Those were the last true Air Jordan 11. Not even 5 years ago.
The appearance is one thing, but the comfort is another. I don't own the CDP XI or 09' SJ, but others who do complain about the comfort in toe-box area. I can already tell these will have the same issue.

and both SJ 09 or CDP are different compared to the 00/01 retros. the DMP is closer to the 00/01 retros than the newer ones..
the thing that i dot get is why they're keep changing the molds..
there are so many pics of the CG10 right now, and the shape is also changing all the time. im still a bit confused about picking this up..

Yup. A few people I know had this problem. I wore mine about 4 times before half of the 23 was missing on the left shoe. Right shoe was still perfect. Sold them off and my 01s came back from retirement. Lol
