That's not an accurate pic of the space jams. They were pretty clear when compared to the "milkiness" of the Concords

Notice that you can clearly see through the toe cap of the space jams.
View media item 1702772Definitely not the same as the space jams

And how you can't see through it on the Concords? That's milky vs non milky

Indeed spacejams from 09 and 01 were not milky at all. The 09 tended to be icy clear similar like the dmp 11 the 09 had a slight yellowish tint from the beginning. Yet both versions of spacejams you could clearly see through the toe tip and jumpman under the outsole.
The milky outsoles started with the 2011 concords.
 
I hope this is like the "University Blue" release. It wasn't smooth, but there were shoes for everyone who wanted them. No raffles, no chaos, and as far as I know, no underhanded employee crap (this is how it was in my area).


I honestly can't believe I'm still all in for these. I seen enough bad pics to turn me off. But in my mind, this is a mash up of Jams and playoffs. Plus if I get these, I can ease up on wears of my playoffs. They don't look bad, but they ain't what they used to be.

serious question, you guys all know how easy getting those legend blues last winter was. The fun in copping 11s for me has become less and less with each passing year and personally it's because of the increasing lack of exclusivity. I attribute that to the number of pairs that were produced and sold, wasn't the number close to 500k for last year's 11s? and they've been on the rise every year?

should we honestly expect JB to produce and sell like 600-700k pairs of these 72-10 11s? that would be so disappointing for me. Some of you might not feel that way though but that's just my opinion.

I swear today's new age sneaker heads live and die by hype and exclusivity. Buy what you like and keep it moving. The second i stopped caring about hype and what everyone was or wasn't wearing was the second stopped caring about 80% of jordan releases.

i've been in the game 20+ years and, these days, i only care about exclusive stuff.  whats so wrong with trying to get something that less people have?

i wouldn't consider wanting exclusive kicks "hypebeast" mentality.  i consider hypebeast stuff anything Supreme related.

Like I said, buy what you like. If you like a shoe that happens to be exclusive/rare/hard to get that's fine. But buying a shoe just because no one else has them is lame to me. It's not even about the shoes anymore at that point. Flexing with shoes is for the kids in my opinion

Nah I always been one to like the exclusive stuff like that dude and I see were he comin from...
I like wearing my db2s cause I love the way they look first and love u don't see them that much n they r my favorite pair I got for that reason I miss my Miros such much and mad I had to sell them cause I never seen another pair in person again
And wear exclusive kicks is nice I wear my lms a lot and while there not crazy limited or exclusive it's nice to have a shoe that ppl ask about or say that never saw

 i don't buy to flex.  but i do go after shoes that are exclusive.  for example, i went after the Jordan 1 Pinnacle Vachetta simply because they were limited and pricey.  I knew alot of people werent feeling the price and i knew they were mad limited.  love the shoe regardless...

Maybe it's just me by I just don't get how whether or not a lot of people wear the shoe influences your opinion on it
 
You're in the wrong place(forum, website, etc) if you are concerned about other people having the same sneaks. You still wearing the same Jordan's even if they are a "limited" color or whatever.
 
So what dude is saying is he likes the vanity that comes with having an exclusive shoe and not the shoe itself. That's the definition of a hypebeast folks. When I used to care about what people though of me and what was cool, I wanted exclusive or really hyped releases. But now five years later I find it sad and insecure. I buy what I like. That's not to say I don't like exclusive shoes. I love the em 4s but hate that they are exclusive. Conversely, I loved the orange blaze 8s back in 2008 although they were the least popular.

Also XIs have not been exclusive since 2008-prior. Everyone who camped out got the Spacejams and cool Greys(me but I sold them). Jordan's just became more popular more recently that's prob why you'll see everyone with legend blues and only a few with Spacejams. It's because they are older not because they were limited or exclusive
 
There are no exclusive xi's that been released unless you talking about the dmp xi's that was recalled all xi releases are gr

depends on your definition of exclusive

those green snakeskin lows were limited

ironically the most limited 11 in recent years were the GS pink snakeskins

the numbers on those were insanely low


but generally 11's are made in a high production run

smallest production run for a GR 11 in recent years are the gerogetown 11 from this year wasnt too mass produced for some reason

of course i leave out pantones since that was in a pack for obvious reasons
 
All xi's that have came out are GR's now you can call them limited but in noway xis there an exclusive xi's the Ray Allen PE's are an exclusive xi. Exclusive shoes don't release everywhere example regular footlockers and finish lines etc green snakeskin were just limited in numbers doesn't mean exclusive, BIN 23's, doernbecher's, or quai 54's would be exclusive releases

11s are not limited or exclusive. It's the hype that makes them go in seconds as well as the hype that makes their resell price so high.
 
Nothing still can't beat that white mesh with that black patent leather! This right here is a weak excuse for making it and that childish twilight skin tone sparkly leather.
 
The green snakeskins were considered a limited gr release thats what i mean by limited like royal black jordan 1s and gamma blue jordan xiis
