The Spacejams are the space jams becuase of the movie that made them popular. They were first a Jordan XI PE worn in a few games before and after the movie's release. He wore a PE with a "23" and a "45" stictched on the heel.

Just because the color changed from the original to the retro does not mean that they are not the same shoe(Or that the retros are not OG retros). The legend Blue 11s are still an IG retro of the Columbia XIs. 

If you have another rebuttle, Imma just assume you're trolling, or your pride wont let you be wrong but either way the facts are the facts my friend.

SMH, not gonna bother quoting the rest, but you are wrong here. the "45" MJ wore in the 94-95 playoff were samples (NOT PEs) with Concord purple in the jumpman as well as the pods. THAT shoe also said "jumpman jordan". not space jam. The shoe MJ wore in the movie was a different shoe than the "45" which had the "space jam" on the tongue above. Those are NOT the 2000 samples. The 2000 release came out with the "jumpman jam". 

THIS is the "space jam" from the movie as you can already see the blue and with 23 on the back. They were two completely different shoe.  The "space jam" was also a sample shoe only used for the movie.

by your standard the grey toe and red pod 13 are OGs too...smh

The 2000 retros were blue because the filters on TV at the time made them look blue instead of purple, which is their actual color.
Here is a pic of an actual pair MJ wore for the movie:

i stand corrected. 

but they're still not OGs. player samples does not = OGs. 

either way, has nothing to do wtih these 72-10 release.

yes I do consider those 13s OG because they were made and produced in the OG year that the rest were. They just weren't released. Even if I call them an OG sample is still an OG.

And please tell how game worn shoes that only MJ had AND played in are samples and not PEs...

because those shoes Nike & Tinker told him there were samples and not to play in them. and mike wore them anyway. they made those for him to see what the next year model would look like and didn't want to show them to the public yet. 

the only PE i remember Mj wore was the V with the 23 on the side and the 10 with the 45 on the side. other than those every cw MJ wore up until the first retirement could be bought in stores. and then Jordan Brand started having Reggie, Eddie Jones, Ray etc having PEs from XV on wards. 

personally i only consider the CW that were initially released as OG.

But neither the black/silver 5 with the 23, the grey toe 13 nor the Spacejam 11 are Retro+ colorways.
They all existed either as sanple or as PEs during the initial production of that model.

Space Jams are my favorite sneaker of all time.

Space jams are nice, its just that there are so many sneakers with a black upper and white lower that they don't stand out and look unique.

For example, the black/reds have that red sole, which really makes them stand out because you hardly see sneakers with aa contrasting red sole.

One day i will understand what all the fuss is about for space jam 11s.

they are a great looking, simple and versatile shoe. That Royal (or Concord) with the Black upper is a very subtle. Never really cared for the Concord or Bred XIs. Spacejams also have this mystique to them.
 
The space jams are retro+ not an og colorway, retros are shoes that are released for a second time after the original release space jams didn't release for the first time til 2000 so not a og.
 
obviously we all have different opinions on what's an OG cw. some say unless it's originally released and some say if MJ wore them.

agree to disagree.
 
I say it is because (my opinion):

1. Jordan wore them in game

2. Were made around the same time as the other Jordan 11s
 
Terminology is the only issue here. OG colorway is seen as synonymous with OG release. "OG" becomes problematic when OG samples and PEs are ignored, because they are OG colorways, as in colorways made during the year of the shoes origin that just were not released for (insert here) reasons. Hence the confusion in what to call releases such as the Metallic 5 with the embroidered 23, pre grape 5, cdp 10, Double Nickel 10, space Jam 11,Red pod 13 and Grey toe 13. They released separate from the OG collection but they were made at the same time as the OG.

It's all up to interpretation and opinion in the end. I consider these all to be OG colorways.

OG - original Jordan release
Retro- re-release of the orginal Jordan's
Has nothing to do with what Mike wore, samples or PE's the fact is that OG and retro are types of releases period
