awesome collection! those OGs are the ****! wish i had a pair but oh well 2012 version it is lolhere's my og, 01, and cdp's. Might get these just to complete the collection or use as trade bate.
mhmmm that thick patent leather cut out..... giggityhere's my og, 01, and cdp's. Might get these just to complete the collection or use as trade bate.
I would love to see pics of that!I don't know what some are implying about the wearability of the OG 11. Really, the only thing to even slightly worry about is the sole separation from the primitive glue Nike used back then. If you know a decent Cobbler (yelp one nearest you), they will make the sole fit even better than the factory standard. I believe it should cost anywhere from $32-$36 for them to strip the old glue, clean the dirt, and reattach the soles with high quality glues used in italian leather shoes with no glue discoloration.
A friend of mine did this. If I can get a hold of his pair I will take snapshots. The sole job looks better than my DS pair which has excess glue and slight glue discoloration.
Truth. Only shoes that crumble are pre 05 with polyurethane midsoles. 1s have rubber, and 11-13s have phylon so you have nothing to worry about in regard to that. In 05 they changed the type of polyurethane they use in 2-10s so technically they shouldn't crumble, at least not for much longer periods of time but we'll have to wait and see.I don't know what some are implying about the wearability of the OG 11.

^^^ I honestly think JB likes to change things here and there in order for people to spot the difference in each retro.
Dope triplets fam.I agree. Each time the shoe re-retroes, something small is changed. The OG bred xi's had black and white carbon, white lining on the the patent leather, and the sole was a different red. 2001 has a black/silver carbon plate, red was more vibrant, no while lining. CDP's had the jumpman reversed. etc^^^ I honestly think JB likes to change things here and there in order for people to spot the difference in each retro.
@sneakerfan1 - very clean pairs bro. I had 3 pairs of 2001's 2 months ago until I sold a pair. I just bought a pair of OG's and should have em soon.
A pic of my 3 2001's before I sold one.
Hands down my favorite Jordan

Thanks everyone. Honestly as someone who's had every version of the black/red xi (owned 2 pairs of 2001's at one point), i have to say the og's are by far the nicest on feet. The white lining serves as an elegant break between the black patent leather and black mesh. However as far as the shape of the shoe and thickness of patent leather i think the 2001's are the best.awesome collection! those OGs are the ****! wish i had a pair but oh well 2012 version it is lol
These + royal 1s + grape 5s + Columbia 11 (please?) + aqua 8 = a hurt pocket
I wonder if PYS is getting these... If so, I will honestly save myself the trouble cuz their prices have been decent as of late (280 for Concords, 290 for CGs, and 260 for SJs)
