They may or may not have remembered seeing these XI's on the court or the glorious occasion that was the Retro 11 in 2000-01. I didn't get a chance to see these in person, however I saw them on this guy's feet at FNL the other day and they really, really did look just like the fakes we've been slaughtering here for several years now...
I wanted this CDP for the Taxi 12...and would've gladly split a size 10, 10.5, or 11 with anyone wanting the abhorration that is the CDP XI... I've got Space Jams that I've only worn twice, DMP XI that are very gently worn every Easter and twice throughout the rest of the year, and my tried and true Cool Grey XI that I've had since RD in March 2001... so the pressure to get this for me was minimal... and blacc/red/white colorways are ALWAYS my LEAST favorite...
I feel a sense of loss that people are on here gloating at one another for being able to get these or not... in the end, why pay over retail for sub par quality ? ? ? I could pay essentially the same resale price of the 12/11 CDP for a pair of OG Taxis and Retro 11 in blk/red... and since I didn't stumble upon this CDP (thankfully) I probably will just get a DS pair of Taxis and/or another pair of Playoff 12... blk/red XI are WAY OVERRATED IMHO and I would accept these as a gift or for below retail...simply
EDIT: cesarhpr1986... chunky pics of your excess of 12/11 CDP
... I would like to see your personal collection in Sneaker Showcase sometime...
