Official Jordan XI Thread

[JRepp23]

Dumb *** Nike about to release multiple OG 11 colorways a year, but limit them to 15k pairs or something stupid…They set up the game plan with the Neon 95’s and Black / Red 1’s…

I really think they want everyone moving on from the original colors. Or paying the supreme price to have them.

ngl the box on the 2011s were fire

 

[Dr.BlasterCombo]

Ain’t no such thing as too soon. Nobody cares about the “you ain’t got these” mentality in 2025. Keep all this stuff in stores forever for all I care

I'll say the latter.

Since this is a broad thread that covers the Jordan XI, I encourage everyone to come up with predictions or ideas of colorways for this iconic and popular model on here whenever it comes to mind.

I'll start. I'm going to make a random prediction that they're going to come out with a "Reverse Concord" color scheme sometime in the future. I think they should make the patent leather and Jumpman logo purple. But keep the materials the same, i.e. the upper having the traditional ballistic mesh on XIs. I can see them making this one since other popular models have undergone the "Reverse" gimmick.

Oh man, please don't remind of this stupid from December 2011.

I'm going to say this one and the Galaxy Foamposite release disaster from February 2012 messed up the shoe game forever.

I still can't believe fools camped out in the cold for those bootleg looking Concord XIs back in 2011.

I recall seeing on the news that it was disastrous at some stores in malls with fools ripping open the gates or going underneath the gates like roaches and rats when they weren't completely open.

Since y'all brought this one up, perhaps I'm going to share a story on here that my friend shared with me in early 2012 after that stupid release.

I want a space jam type color blocking with all concord replaced with red. And a Concord color block with red replacing ,,,,concord. Pretty simple.

I’m actually surprised they haven’t tried tha yet lol. I guess the 72-10’s kinda

And then rinse and repeat with other primary colors. So simple

In fairness at the time we wasn't aware of the differences in shape and quality. We just wanted the shoe. I don't remember yourubers doing full break downs back then.

We???

I was aware of the step down on the XI going back to the DMP in 06, which is why I didn’t buy another XI mid until they fixed them in 2016.

 

[KanyIZZY]

Don't agree that DMPs were that bad.. they were right on par with the 2000s pairs but anything after is fair game IMO. The one thing I never liked on the DMPs was the Jumpman that was bound to crack.

I'm up late and stumbled on this article on this website.

Here's an article link about the Jordan XI from this website for y'all...

UnDS'd my Rare Airs for my trip to LV

 

[trappedintime]

DMPs rule. Especially now with how cheap they are. I’ve been wearing these a lot. Found another barely worn pair with crumbling jumpmen for $140 that will be backups to these. I really love the all day wear in these 2000s era XIs once you replace the air unit with foam.

Reglued, not swapped. I’ve been getting great results with NuAntidote under the light. These things couldn’t have been much clearer brand new. Here’s the difference with some 35s after one treatment:

Today's Vegas kicks:

These are about 1 million times more comfortable than my Rare Airs that I wore yesterday. 72-10s have always been my favorite 11s (flame suit on), but today - 16k steps - proved their comfort. I *LOVE* these things.
