According to this one, the Legend Blue XI slated for this December are supposed to be true to the original specs. Also, they'll have the original packaging. And they're going to be mass produced.

‘OG Specs’ .. ‘legend blue’ ..
I mean it can’t be Columbia cause they can’t/won’t use the name. So it really tells us nothing about the color. There will never be a release with the color “Columbia blue”.It seems contradictory in itself with that one. If it's just a differing name predicated on legality matters but if the shade of blue is highly similar to the original 1996 version, then it should be acceptable for us in that scenario.

I use the space jams as an example of getting the retro as close to the OG as one could reasonably ask.Right. We'll just have to wait and see early photos in the months to come to get clarity on the color of the finished product.
I'll be happy if they can get it similar to the original 1996 version. It should be common sense that we're never getting something 100% identical to any original product because it's replication we're dealing with here.
As long as they don't look like the the crappy 2014 version, then we should be satisfied.

If they do these as well as the SJs I’ll be very satisfied. I never owned the OGs but did have the 2001s and never even wore my 2014s cause I was so tired of the wretched banana shape by then. The shape is now so good I think if the color is on point it’s possible this ends up being the best retro of the CW ever.
You’re probably right. Time slips away and it’s been 6 or 7 years since I’ve even held an OG or 2001 pair of XI’s. It was so bad the improvements probably feel better than they are. But I’d also take re-done 5’s and 12’s over a new XI moldThere is still plenty that can be improved on the XIs. And the 2016 SJs leave a fair bit to be desired. The uppers aren’t even padded.
I’m about to beat these into the ground when the 2024s release, but I need to keep them as clean as I can for now to do a true comparison laterI use the space jams as an example of getting the retro as close to the OG as one could reasonably ask.

I just remembered that they already made a low top version of these joints that I copped already lolThese could have made a nice white/red colorway in 96’
