Why is everyone so worried about what is OG and what is not?
And this is coming from someone who owned OG Columbia's, Concords, and Black/Red in high school then the space jams and cool greys in college.
I just don't get what the fascination is with what colorway is what.
What's next? Are we going to start attacking everyone who calls them "Breds" lol....because back in 95 we called them the "black and red xi's." As long as we are keeping it real and true to the originals I guess...

Jordan didn't have on the Spacejams in Spacejam, wtf 
And like people said, this debate has been going on since like 2000. Both are arguments have their merit, so I don't see how now one side can claim their veiw are facts
Lets just are to disagree and move on

Technically the original three as well as SJ and CG from early 2000s are all OG based on definition. Original means also means 1st time, as in first production.
With saying that, I'll say the original three are the OG XI and only the early 2000s pairs of SJ and CG are OG, everything after is just a retro of the OG,
It's all differing perspectives and both sides have merit depending on each persons interpretation of the word "original."

So you're saying the original release of the CG and SJ are in fact, "not original?"

Correct, they were not released when the 11 ORIGINALLY dropped so how could they be ORIGINAL?

Space Jam came from an original concept that MJ actually wore.

OG doesnt only mean when they released though. There's not one single definition for it. It was an original concept based off a movie he wore them in at the time/around of the 11 release.

Because of the basic definition of the word original.... "Present or existing from the beginning; first or earliest."
So, like I said in my first post, it's up to everyone's interpretation of the definition. To me, the original three are the original XI models and the first production (early 2000s) of the SJ and CG are the original release of the SJ and CG.

cool greys are NOT OGs, PERIOD! OGs dropped in '95-'96 and we didn't know anything about a CG 11 til 2000. so there's that. SJs were in fact an OG colorway from the original '95-'96 release, only they were an MJ exclusive that didn't release to the public until 2000. so...
OGs = concords, breds, columbias AND SJs.
OGs = concords, breds, columbias AND SJs.

wrong, thats the ONLY thing it means.
How can they be from the 95/96 release but be MJ exclusive? What you just defined is a PE.

Exactly its an original colorway/concept he wore. Is it that hard to grasp or understand?? Plus your definition of OG isn't THE definition.

It really is though. The definition of OG: The colorways released during the original launch of a Jordan model, its that simple.

Y'all are trying to expand it to concepts and PEs, by that logic the Red Pod 13s are an OG color way which sounds silly.

Did Space Jams not come from something he wore in the movie at the time of the original 11 release?

The movie was at least a year after the OG release plus like i said they were PEs at that time. I'm not gonna argue but if you couldn't buy them in 95/96 i don't see how you can call them OGs. If y'all wanna use your own definition that's your prerogative.

Yes, an original retro+ colorway. Anything done for the first time is defined as original, not just shoes.
Fist time we see that color, it is original. Whether he wore them or didn't, or if it was during the first production (mid 90s) or not... Based purely on definition, the first time it is produced, it is an orginal color concept.
