The insole on the 2000-2001 XI

[swishasweets]

On my columbias the insole reads Nike Air but i just saw some pics on ebay on some cool greys and they have the jumpman?? How is this? Did the columbias getthe nike air and the cool greys didnt or do i have a pair of OGs?? (posted in here cuz i want some pics on your 2000 columbias to verify)

yeah sometimes they do that. for example my 00 black/metallic 5s have nike on the soles but my white metallics have the word jordan on the soles

I think its obvious the Nike to Jordan Brand transition came into play when the Cool Greys came out while the Columbias it had not went into affect. Because aswe know Jordan Brand is its own entity completely separate from Nike. My white/black 11s have the Nike Air on the insole. Also now just reading Diab I thinkthey wanted to keep the OG look since the Columbias were an original colorway while the Cool Grey were not nor the White Metallic 5s.
