But technically the 2016’s weren’t space jams right? They were the dark concord 1995 p.e. retro? Ima let the OG’s correct me if I’m wrong

That leather cut definitely too high, it threw me off. It damn near took over the whole shoe. Part of why I sold mine.

Don’t think they want them low but the Space jam retro was the first time going back to the higher cut. The front half looks fine but that second half going towards the heel and jumpman just looks too high compared to the OG.

Too high is better than too low in this case. They improved the cut on the Cords and Playoffs though.

I dont need 65% of my shoe patent leather. And honestly the only pair that was just too high was the first time they switched it in 2016. They have improved it ever since. I dont think anybody wants the too skinny PL from 2008-2012 era

I remember many years ago someone on this board was attending Miami of Ohio University and for a homework assignment for some class they had they asked over five hundred people if they preferred the patent high cut or low cut on XIs and high cut won by a long shot. Maybe someone can dig it up.

Nothing wrong with pointing out flaws when they charging us 200+ retail. Y'all can accept whatever. JB know what they're doing.

The 2019 Playoffs was a great retro, but the outsoles were too dark. The OG had this bright “candy apple” shade that realllly popped. It was a beautiful thing that just went perfectly with the black patent and white edges. I hope we see them brought back like that again one day.
Tempted to go cop a new pair.. How y'all's holding up?Nothing wrong with pointing out flaws when they charging us 200+ retail. Y'all can accept whatever. JB know what they're doing.

I always thought that bright red came from aging

Yeah I think it’s mostly aging. The red may have been a tad lighter though. Maybe. It definitely pops

I don't know, 96 and 2019 look pretty much the same

I have thought this for years. Red outsole oxidation results in a brighter more vibrant red. I have a DS pair of the 96, you wont convince me the outsole stayed true to form while all the other originals oxidized to a noticeably different color.

No, OG bred 11’s came with a very bright red out the box - As they aged/oxidized, the red would turn sort of orangish, almost like a burnt orange color . It was like a candy apple red or scarlet when they were brand new though. The 2019 retro was much darker, almost crimson like.

They definitely aren’t. I’ve owned multiple pairs of both

11s used to be such a joy to own
I don’t think I’d ever buy another pair now
i still like the concords, playoffs and cool greys tho
the comfort and fit of the shoe is just non existent now
