You just got to distinguish the fake sellers from the real... very easy
yeah, not very hard if you know anything about sneakers
well, the thing is like this..........

there are many sellers who are selling AJ11 COOL GRAYs now, and some of them have a very good busines, as you can see many sizes are sold out.

like this seller offers so many pairs of XIs, http://shop.ebay.com/cabordo.1/m.html
i don't know if you guys thinks he is selling authentic or fake, but i think many other people think these XIs are real since you can see every pair has so many bids.

here is another link, http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1607593.html

this is a post from a Chinese sneakers website, you don't have to read Chinese because i can translate it for you.

Here is a seller who sell aj11 cool gray fro 1180 Chinese currency which is about 173 USD (basically 6.8 chinese YUAN = 1 USD)

from size 42-46, (us 8-12)
according to this seller, those shoes are "factory products" which means these are authentic shoes but without official releasing process.

I don't know how to understand the definition of "factory products", and those shoes seems like very-well made and good quality, but i just don't think these are authentic shoes.

In addition, some of the other Jordans have the same situation such as AJ3 true blue, AJ13 GIGI, AJ 3, 4, 11, 25th anniversary.

I will post more selling links from this Chinese sneaker website, and all of them are so called "factory product".
again, you don't have to know Chinese, i can translate.
i guarantee this will amaze you guys.!!

aj3 anniversary sz8-12, price: 749 yuan = 110 usd

http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1617493.html
aj3 true blue, size 11.5 and 12, 699 yuan = 102 usd (those are without boxes, but really good quality )

http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1628112.html
aj3 true blue and CDP, sz 8-13, 650 yuan = 95 usd

http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1154928.html
aj11 anniversary 7-12,  1240 yuan = 182 usd, but the date is 2/24 2010

http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1216904.html
aj11 anniversary 7-13, 1050yuan = 154 usd

http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1521794.html
http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1493727.html
http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1575660.html
these 3 link are aj13 gigi, and price are various, but all of them have a relative low price and seems good quality.

http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1542921.html
http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1614334.html
these 2 links are aj13 white and red. price 1060 and 950

http://bbs.hoopchina.com/1591630.html
Foamposite, 7-12, price 950 = 140.



there are so many examples, so i cannot list all of them, but i think these links above are typical.

these "factory products" have good quality and price, and most of them with box, even some of them come out several months earlier than official release.

i hope someone can tell me they are  real shoes or high-quality fake.

PS: pay attention on EBAY, many of EBAY sellers (especially sellers in Hongkong, taiwan, and CA) have the same type of products as i provided links, so you basically cannot find any differences of tags, soles, and carbon fibers, and they just tell you those are real deal.

I wonder if all those shoe prices include shipping, cause i would buy all of them in a heart beat. xD
 
basically, those sellers will NOT offer international shipping.

but if you are in China, you pay like 20 yuan = 3 usd for shipping, you can get a pair of shoes in 1 or 2 days.

that is unbelievable cheap... so many of seller offer free domestic shipping within China because shipping cost is a tiny part of the price.
 
for the people who have the cool grey 2010 already? what the sizing fit with these compare tot he space jams. fit small like it or wat? thanks
 
SUPER PISSED RIGHT NOW

got my size 11 from jay about a week or so ago.  took em out of them box and noticed a few minor flaws but no big deal.  put em back in the box to rock later.  well finally got around to trying them on today and guess what?  i put the left shoe on and and something feels weird.  I take it off put my hand in there and notice there is about a 1.5 inch gap in between the toe end of the insole and the end of the shoe!  I cant wear this ****e.  even worse the insole has a sticker on it that says "mens size 11". 

NTers beware if you havent tried em on yet do so cause it looks like I got a size 9 insole in a size 11 shoe. 
 
Im not sure if this has been posted or not, but the CGs will be an "all store" shoe at finish line

This is one of those risks you take, when you order shoes early.

I ordered my girl a pair back in August, but I knew there was a chance of something not being right,
and I ended up with two different shades of tint on the sole of each shoe.

I still think that a majority of these early released shoes are B-grades, judging by the obvious flaws I have seen on here in the past month or so.

I would have to agree. Maybe Jay, Marquee and the rest of them boys are connected. Let's sell b-grades for profit so they don't make it to outlets. How many b-grades actually make it to the outlets? SJs? Cdps? We know 25 pairs of Anniversarys just hit.
 
On the real, I've been waiting for these for a while but if my pair ends up looking all compromised with the patent leather trimmed and the toe-box smashed in - I'll sell mine and try to aim for a 2001 pair.

I can't do this anymore. I'm pretty content on what I want and if the 'new' JB can't offer it than I wont be buying these hyped up products anymore. $50 increase for LESS is downright disrespectful.
 
Wow at that smashed looking toebox. 

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? 
air_jordan_dmp_xi_01.jpg
 
Yeah I was set on getting1 or 2 of these but I may skip it like I did the SJ release, glad I am not into buying every J that comes out anymore, just a couple a year and if its garbage quality or a hassle to cop I am cool with skipping it. Actually may even wait and see if these are over produced and sit like all the other non limited sneakers these days.
 
im skeptical if these are actually even "stolen" shoes. I wouldnt be suprised if they buy these B Grades in bulk from Nike directly.

It makes sense because Nike would def make more money selling these in bulk for 20% off retail to these chinamen rather them hitting outlets at 30%+ less than retail. Id assume some of these wouldnt even pass the outlet test but the chinese eat them up in bulk.

It just doesnt add up that there is such a significant quantity of stolen/early release shoes that continue to come out like clockwork with every release and always through the same suppliers.
 
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.

Oh well, I'm officially passing on these, although I already know my GF will try and buy me a pair. Gotta tell her to aim for the 01's.. Damn shame JB.

And to Fifteen, I feel bad fam. I would demand a refund. If not, file a paypal claim if that was your method of payment. That's one of the reasons why I dont buy early.

so are the kicks real or not? you kind of go back and forth there.

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 hope you treat her extra well from here until then, because those '01's are a hefty penny.

If I can get a pair of these 2010's, and flip them for the net worth of a 2001 pair, I'll have no shame in doing it.

This is when I truly regret selling my only pair of 2001's a few years ago. 
 
laugh.gif
 But you know the best time to search for them is around the same time the new versions drop. History repeats itself.

Yeah, I kind of regret selling my 3rd pair of '01s also...
