i know this might be a disgraceful question to all jordan collectors .... but i have no clue wut they stand for ..... can someone educate me?
 
Sorry you thought it was ie but its Air Jordan 11 LE which stands for limited edition. It is the Original lowtop that was released in two colorways back in the day with the mesh panels. Dont beleive me-- any one got the original kicks mag from slam with all the nikes ever made? check that and stop givin faulse info when you dont really know. Ask EKIN if I m right. 1
 
^^^^ WRONG !!!!!

its I.E and it was aprt of the shoe description , it says:

air jordan low I.E
the colorcode was: white/light grey - cobalt

people made up the LE stuff cause they sold so poorly , so they could get them outta their stock they said its LE and not IE.

trust me , not limited edition in this one , jsut a rumor that became "knowledge" , although i dont know why nike out the IE in the shoe-name , maybe pat got some info , or even scones ?

Yo cogneeeto, that's a lot of words in caps for someone who's dead wrong. Here's a couple of pics from eBay auctions....the first is for the XI low in black and red. The second is for the white and grey.

Can you tell me where it is that you see the letters LE????? I don't see them anywhere. (unless you count the "L" from Low and "E" from red) I do however see an IE at the beginning of the color description of the white pair....strange.

And by the way, we all know what they are, we've just never got a definitive answer as to what I.E. stands for...and it is I.E.

Im dead wrong huh thats not the LE? It was put toghether by our vice presedent of special projects T. Hatfield. It is listed in Nikes International Book of Numbers as the Air Jordan 11 LE. Need more proof from a dead wrong guy call 503- 671 - 6330 and please this is nike talk not nike hate.

OK ---now im done 1love
 
Then SLAM is wrong. (You mean to say that the box label is WRONG, and SLAM is right?)

It's I.E., not LE. I have a pair, on the box it says the name of the outlet, and the price tag reads $24.99.

It was so un-LE that it was so unpopular and it had to go on sale.....at $24.99
 
Oh, and if it was Indeed LE, then why didn't the I.E. also appear on the box label of the Black Red colorway ?

Why did I.E. only appear on the box label for the white/cobalt ones ?

I usually don't reply to this thread anymore because there is at least one person who tries to wrongly proof their point.

There is no place where the box says LE, NO PLACE ON THERE!!! That is only the Box Tag from China, the Box Tag from Taiwan also doesn't not have the LE on there.

The Box Tag for the Black/Red XI Low. There is NO PLACE where it says LE. SHOETRENDS is ABSOLUTELY WRONG. SLAM MAGAZINE is ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

This is the last time I reply to this topic. Maybe the next time this BS topic gets posted I'll reply.

Here's a clearer picture for those that still want to argue the point.

BTW - They weren't "LIMITED".

Q: What's the story on the Air Jordan 11th lowtop, LE (limited edition)?

A: First of all, the Air Jordan 11 lows were NOT "L.E." They weren't limited. Some vintage dealers who were stuck with too many of them in their stock decided to call them "L.E." (limited edition) because they wanted to sell them for a higher price than they were getting in the market. So, they went around saying that they were limited (when they were not) to try to create hype. And, we all know what happens when one person starts a rumor, eventually it spreads around and just about "becomes" fact (at least as far as the rumor-spreaders are concerned). The funniest comment I ever saw about that example was from one BBS guy who said, "I bet you don't even know what the Air Jordan 11 L.E. is, so shut your mouth, son." (Or something to that effect anyway.) Well, I had to laugh, because that fool was mouthing it up about a shoe, saying it was LE when it wasn't, acting as if he knew what he was talking about, and even criticizing someone else for not knowing about the shoes, when really HE was the one who didn't have the slightest clue. So, yeah, rumors go wild, don't they? And, it doesn't take much to start them. And, for every crazy rumor, there's a crazy reader who will believe it. Also, it didn't help anything that part of the color code for the white/grey version was "I.E." And, written in capital letters, at a glance, people might confuse "I.E." for "L.E." I don't know what the "I.E." represents in the color code, but, indeed Nike has done that before, written cryptic color codes that nobody understands. Note, the black/red lowtop did NOT have "I.E." as part of its color code. It was only part of the white shoe's color code. Nowadays, it's just about considered "fact" (as far as many people are concerned) that those shoes were called "L.E." but in reality, they were never called that.


Pat is as reliable as Ekin IMO.

Heck, we've made mistakes at SLAM before and we'll probably make them again. I agree that it's "I.E." After all, it's in the color code line, not following "Air Jordan Low." Still like to know what it stands for.

I've been thinking about wearing my DS white/grey pair soon...or maybe I'll wait for the reissues and keep those DS.
