Jordan XI '72-10' Release Date: 12/12/15

Some people use resellers as their own personal buyers because they don't have the time to go out to stores and gather raffle tickets or b up at the crack of dawn fighting with websites...it's a convenience thing for some...
 
Well, this is the first new colorway of XI's I may actually get. I wasn't a fan of the other colorways.

They are still an OG Colorway whether they were released or not. They were first seen in 1996 but just werent released to everyone. They were an OG Player Exclusive. Just like the metallic 5s from 2007 and 2011, they are still OGs though. You're talking about the Space jams as if its a +colorway made after 1996 like he cool grey 11s. But I guess its all up to personal interpretation of what an OG shoe is. By your Logic, The OG metallics havent dropped in 16 year; the Grey toe 13s arent OG, the pre=grapes arent OG, nor are the CDP 5s and Black/Gold 1s since they didnt release in their "OG" year.

I wont insult your intelligence, nor will I keep going back in forth with you. I will suggest that you read this post on the Space Jams and the history behind the shoe. 

http://*************.com/news/10-facts-about-space-jam-and-the-air-jordan-11-it-inspired/

Taken Directly from SC: 

"

The original 'Space Jam' Air Jordan 11 featured a concord Jumpman.

You already know the 'Space Jam' 11 originally appeared in the movie, but did you know MJ's first PE featured concord Jumpman branding? The number '23' on the heel was also stitched instead of printed.

"Michael Jordan debuted the 'Space Jam' 11 against the Orlando Magic in the 1995 Playoffs.

Fresh off his return from baseball, MJ led the Bulls against the upstart Orlando Magic in the 1995 Eastern Conferene Semifinals. In the series, Jordan debuted the Air Jordan 11, including the 'Space Jam' colorway, before it officially became his game shoe the following season. Shaq and the Magic handed Jordan's Bulls their only playoff series defeat of the dynasty era."

"Number '45' was featured on the heel of Jordans original PE and samples for the 2000 retro.

When Michael Jordan returned to basketball, designers adjusted the '23' on the heel of his Air Jordan 11s to his new number '45.' Of course, Jordan decided to switch back to his original number during the Eastern Conference Semifinals and the new feature was already outdated by the time he debuted the shoe.

When Jordan Brand retroed the 'Space Jam' 11 in 2000, they sampled the shoe with '45' on the heel, but settled on '23' for final production."

"3 different phrases have appeared on the tongue.

While we’re accustomed to the script on the Air Jordan 11’s tongue reading ‘JUMPMAN JORDAN,’ the ‘Space Jam’ colorway has featured two other phrases in the past. When sampled for a retro release in 2000, Jordan Brand flirted with the idea of adding ‘SPACE JAM’ to the tongue, which you can see in the picture above. However, when the final product hit, it read ‘JUMPMAN JAM.’ In 2009, the colorway was re-released with the standard ‘JUMPMAN JORDAN.’"

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.
