Back when I was obsessed over Jordan's until I sold most of mineView media item 1742120 I could use the space jams again but this time the Cool Greys shouldn't have the blue sole.

They were flimsy as f***. Do you hoop in them or just peek at them in the box from time to time? Don't tell me that leather part by the ankle is the same, its a sheet of paper compared to the 95s.

The 08-present retros are garbage. The rear leather piece is super thin on those. But the 00-01 was thick. Not 95-96 thick, but close. Obviously were never going to get OG quality on anything other than OGs. But the 00s were as close as were going to get.

Well I haven't bought a pair of XIs since Jordan burned me in 2000 so I wouldn't know what later retros were like. Like I said, they've been garbage since 2000. Unfortunately that doesn't mean they haven't gotten worse.

Man, I'm STILL 50/50 on these. They look good & all, BUT they'd look SOOOO much better if they were CUT & SHAPED like THESE.....
**** ALL OF Y'ALL THOUGHTS, OPINIONS & THEIR ENTIRE EXISTENCE. OG '95-''96 shape OVER the '09-present shape ALL ****** DAY!
Especially, when it comes to the WHITE outline & the CUT/HEIGHT of the patent leather. H***, I'd TAKE the 2000-01 shape over the present shape, I know it they're FAR from PERFECTION, but as least the OVERALL cut of the shoe was decent. They were ALSO EXTRA comfortable, the present 11's feel like mid-cut STEEL TOE BOOTS. Even with shoe pads their STILL UNCOMFORTABLE IMO, & and overall look/shape/height looks like some HIGH QUALITY FAKES... Anyways, I MUST get, & DOUBLE UP on the All-Star/Aqua 8's. I'm also tryin' 2 get AT LEAST 1 pair of the Chromes, SO it all depends on HOW my money is LOOKIN'. I'm ALSO 3-0 on 11 releases, I have the Playoff's, Gamma's & Legend Blues so I'm tryin' 2 go for 4. But, I MIGHT JUST SAY **** IT. Anyways, SORRY 4 my rant y'all... Here's some pics of how bad they've STR8 up BUTCHERED the 11's over the years...

Just like NT, someone not knowing what he's talking about speaking.
If you think those Space Jams were garbage, I hope you haven't gotten a Jordan in the past 15 years.

Things are just looking better on my end for these 72-10 XI's. I have 2 sz 11 on lock since months ago with my local FTA Manager already on lock.
Just found out better news to put the ICING on the CAKE, my lil cuz just got promoted to store manager at my local mall for FTL.
Already spoke too her about this release this morning and the she said the first thing that came too her when she got the store manager position
she thought about me. Yessss! Marv Albert voice. I'm gonna be cooking these HOLIDAYS.

Wow, the upper is cut and constructed completely differently. remastered my *****, I could engineer a better cut than they're using in China.

Repped @Detlef Schrempf, I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! The OG/Upper cut is BEAUTIFUL, it SET the WHOLE shoe off with the RIGHT amount of EVERYTHING!
THE WHOLE SHOE IS JUST AMAZING, and that ONE LITTLE, BUT BIG DETAIL of the WHITE outline along the TRIM of the THICK patent leather.... It made them SOOOO CLEAN with the Bulls Home & Away jerseys, GIVIN' em the PERFECT contrast/amount of BLACK, RED & WHITE!
I SWEAR, THEY NEED 2 GO BACK TO MAKIN' JORDAN'S IN KOREA, & TAIWAN! Anyways, here's another comparison pic of the OG 96's & STEEL TOE PLASTIC '12's
*Props 2 @waverder*
Man, IT'S SOOOO many cons in the 2012's, it's ****** ATROCIOUS!
BRAHMA STEEL TOE BOOT Carbon Fiber
Lil' Jon & THE Eastside Boyz "Get Low" cut THIN AS ****, almost plastic lookin' patent leather
Different color mesh (Could be DUE to age on the 96's tho, I'm NOT sure)
Krusty The Clown toe box
UNNECESSARY REVERSED Jumpman
Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star comfort & padding
I've never HAD the OG's or 01's (Got 2 try them on tho) SO I'm I MISSING anything?
Also, HERE'S two '01 & '12 comparison pics.
*Props 2 @Klackety Klack*
Like I said, @ LEAST the 01's had COMFORT, HEIGHT & A DECENT SHAPE. The '12's look like HORRENDOUS FAKES up against em.
Once again, SORRY 4 my RANTS I just HAD to get THIS off my CHEST. My apologies if I broke any RULES to the moderators. PLEASE go EASY on me if I did, I'm STILL NEW around here.

you all realize the reason they changed the toe box right?
Nike changed the toe box to protect wearer's toes. as bad as it looks it's better for our feet.
also i hope you all realize for those that never had the OG, the toe box on the OG after some wear looks like these. the only thing i missed was the OG was way more comfortable with the ballastic nylon being softer. and the banana shape that people complains about is there once you broke them in btw. I had these since they originally released until last year i sold'em. sz11 retro vs sz11.5 OG btw.
i had the 2001 as well, but those i had the problem of one shoe's toe box looked like the OG and one toe box was more rounded. i ended up couldn't take it anymore and sold them to a friend along with my 01 concords back then in about 2003.

I've figured for a while now that many other OGs as well we're not add good as people say and that they only desire the OG because they are the OG. The shoe that come to mind for being uncomfortable are the OG 1s and 6s, thanks for the REAL insight instead of speculation
