imo they're overrated. Only color-ways I like are the Breds and Concords.

No other Jordan shoe ever has as much hype, as many people camping out , as many fights , as many new and old collectors waiting on this shoe to release , as many resellers counting down the days until they buy them just to sell them at the most ridiculous prices as the Jordan 11's! And as many people say it is overrated or overhyped, which they could be, you "WILL" still see them in line waiting for them to drop , counting down to the very last second online until they can try to order as many as they can , or bribing their hook-ups to hold them a pair. But that's just my opinion

I think that was a huge part of what created the hype back then. At that time, the world was suffering from MJ withdrawl. He left the NBA so abruptly, and while at the peak of his game no less. When he came back, the hype and obsession of anything MJ promoted was increased 10 fold because people were so hungry for the comeback and everything that went with the Jordan era. I still remember the huge upswing in values for his basketball cards when he made the announcement, and the stupid prices (in comparison to past "common cards" of his) for the first cards that came out with him in the #45 jersey. It only stands to reason that the latest AJs to come out since his comeback would also be a major consumerist target.Originally Posted by Mister Friendly
No not really
Jordans were very popular before the XI but the AJ XI took Jordans to an iconic level. It changed sneaker collecting. And its not really about the 72 season either, they were sought from the first time he wore them against the Magic in 1995 Playoffs. They were just so different.
