Wonder if this pic will end the age old debate.... Vol. Navy XIs or Blue reflection on Concords.

[s dubl]

I know most of you have seen the pic with MJ in a jogging suit running across the half court line in what some say concords with a navy reflection, some say navy XIs. Seems like it always ends up a debate what they actually are... I always thought they were navy XIs. Maybe this pic can end it.

*****NOT MY PIC. GOT IT FROM THE PE THREAD IN SNEAKER SHOWCASE*****

discuss....

I'm on my phone right now and don't feel like searching for the pic that's always debated so if someone can that would be great.

good pic, except the white laces on the refs.

Pic for reference

In both pics they are blue.
You'd be fooling yourself to think otherwise, especially in that celtics stadium pic.

They were Wizards P.E's

 

[toneloc83]

Navy

 

[dankenstien88]

Looks royal blue to me.

I dont think they are the same as the samples posted in the OP. The blue on the samples looks less "brilliant"  then the pair MJ is wearing.  ...but then again it could just be the lighting, its hard to tell with such crummy pics.

Ive always thought they were blue, the pic of the table I posted is a blue pair... could be what MJ was wearing. I mainly posted for all the colorblind doubters that thought they were concords...

 Haters gon hate.

I mean... Concords ?.?. Really people.?.?.

IDK who wouldnt think MJ has the authority to request a pair of his own signature shoes in the colorway of the team he is currently playing for.    




Any info on when those samples were made ? The shape of the ankle almost makes them look like they were made with the 1995 mold instead of the 2000.

That particular pair is actually navy. Heres a better pic.




Heres a pair of black ones with the same color placement. (SC pics From Gentrys personal closet)

  



And heres a close up of a pair very similar to the pair pictured in the OP. These appear to have a smoother leather upper and stitched "JORDAN" on the eyelits rather then glued on plastic found on most pairs with "JORDAN" on the eyelits.

 

^Color of the soles looks very nice IMO

 

[franco23x]

Would be better without Jordan on the eyelits

 

[nikedealer]

Oh my good ness these are fake early release pairs... cant you see thru the toe cap?  Oh no....

 

[pimpala50]

What about those VI's to tha left, sport or navy??? Smh, not up for debate jus throwing another bone in da game, but clearly tha pic wit MJ is deffinately with blue patent.....

 

[milestailsprowe]

I can never understand why we dont get more XI retros. Alot of these samples would be great releases.

 

[downyboy]

these pictures are old. nothing new to see here.

 

[nikedealer]

^^ I can never get tired of seeing Samples.... Especially from Gentries closet...

 

[rcjbbp1313]

we need all of these to release

 

[boomshipit]

^ Thank you. Wasn't this settled years ago ?

 

 

[cicero avenue dopeman]

what is this 2001?

 

[futuredhughes]

Either way they both are fire.

Love the navy and white 11's.

 

[chicagoldrs]

I can see why some say they're concords and they look blue b/c of the pants and the lights reflecting off them. I hope they're Navy XIs that will eventually release however!

 

[drfeelgood]

the navy blues look dope

Don't count on these ever hitting shelves

Damn they are so nice. It'd be great if they had a gr on them
