Is it normal for the Air Jordan 11 Retro 2000s (Space Jam and Concord) that the carbon fiber plate can be bend like this? Or are they simply fake? Does anyone have an authentic pair from the 2000s and has tried bending the carbon fiber plate? I bought them in 2000 and believed for 14 years up to this very day that they are authentic as all other details of the shoe look authentic until I tried bending the carbon fiber plate today, which was possible! (Can't bend the plate of my Concord OGs from 1995). Thanks for any help!

Note: The shoes look beat up as they were heavily used

looks legit to me, but if you can bend them like that the graphite plate probably broke in half or have de-laminated. i don't think the 2000 retros had a very thick graphite plate anyway.

these are 100% authentic. if u apply enough force, you will be able to bend a carbon fiber plate.

Does the carbon fiber have a crack in it? I've seen lost of older XIs with carbon fiber that is falling apart or split in half.

Looks fine to me..Like you stated they have been well worn, that's all.. They are "broken in" if you will.. I'm guessing the Cords haven't seen as much wear.
