Man it’s going to be a late night What was the first pair and last pair of XIs you two bought?
1st pair? a 96 OG Concord from promoshoes, paid like 600ish in 2002.
last pair? referees or last space jam release.

Stop it fool, you know damn well that ain’t the same shoe. Let us be. LOL
True. Other than not being black, having no red trim, the wrong color outsole tint, outsole pods and spring plate, and not being the shoe MJ wore in the ‘96 playoffs, it’s spot onits got everything you want thou
Rip in piece.
Yeah glueing those back and they’ll be good as new.hyperbolic b..just glue em back
The hell? It and the EP rands are why I hate them. And I had a lot of pairs. Just give us the gdamn OG colorway properly, just for once!That smoke sole....Antonio banderas gif baby
No lie good Sir. Love the smoked sole theyve ran recently.That smoke sole....Antonio banderas gif baby

I know I've said this a billion times ... I just cannot wrap my head around what their thinking is on never giving us the OG pair for real. If it was a case of them thinking this style of 11 low is a niche shoe no one today cares about and doesn't sell, fair enough. But that's obviously not the case when they crank out loads of random colorways that mean nothing. Like that "highlighter" pack from not long ago. Clowns will put out an all volt version of these but not the OGs. Rad. They're sitting on the OG makeup as if it's their ace in the hole for a rainy day when sales are in the toilet, like it's the Concords or black/red mids. It makes absolutely zero sense.Can’t believe some are applauding that stupid smoked out sole . It’s incorrect and JB needs to get away from it already and give us the OGs with the correct outsole. Smoked sole is epitome of what we DON’T want.

I'm of the view they can make it look like the OG if they want to; why can't they? That said, if I had to take my pick only from XI outsole treatments that we've already seen in the past few years, personally I would take clear vs this smoked thing they started way back in 2003. I don't even call them smoked, they're translucent black/very dark gray soles. Heck, they could use the milky version of the XI outsole from the 72/10s or Baron lows and that would look a lot more accurate to me. It would certainly look better even if it was still technically wrong.I feel like I've had this conversation with you guys before, but what do you want them to do with the outsole on these? The OG was smoked. Granted, it wasn't as dark as the retro, but if the options are darker smoke and ice/clear, I'm taking darker smoke. I feel like the closest they would be able to get any more would be the pre-yellowed stuff they used on the OW 5's.

Maybe you consider it nubuck and that's fair but not me.. nubuck and durabuck is what I call BC IV's from 2012 and 2000 Infrared VI's respectively.
