Do you think the XIs are overrated?

How can a shoe be overrated? They don't have stats that we can compare their hype with. Alot of people like them and will pay crazy prices. The end.

The AJ1 were the first Jordans EVER. Does that make them any higher than the III's? Not in anyone's eyes.
The AJ VI were Jordans first championship shoe. That makes them better too right? Not in anyone's eyes.

Just because a show is the first at something, that doesn't justify anything about them.

The III's are just overhyped in my eyes. Always have been

What do you guys think? Discuss.

Definitely not overrated, 'coz it is one of the most iconic signature Jordan body of all time! It definitely brought JB to the next level of hype.
It's one of my top 3 favorite body in Jordan line.

I don't think they are overrated, just overpriced.

I remember the love/hate people had for the XIs when they originally released.
People either loved them or thought they were just hideous!
I love almost all the Jordans I- XIV but i have a special attatchment to the III-VIII.
It has alot to do with when I got into kicks as a kid.
I was mad at Jordan for retiring when the X's dropped and amped up all over again
when the XIs dropped. Every shoe holds a different meaning to everyone.
To the people in my age group, or to anyone who actually watched the man play.....
the XIs are far from overrated more nostalgic if anything.

Agreed.  I remember seeing the commercial on tv, and for a couple of seconds they zoomed in on the shoes. I was like

^^^^ I'm just stating how I remember the release as a kid growing up in Jamaica Queens.
While some people could careless about the XIs when they first released other
Kids were wearing the Concord XIs with tuxedos to prom Lol. I'm not singling out the XIs
on the love/hate tip, I just find it funny how times have changed and now there is
mass hysteria everytime XIs drop. It wasn't like this when the OGs dropped.

I look at the quality of the 01's and feel like the Hype is justified. I look at the quality of the recent XI's and I feel they are overrated.
