[taggpoppernj]

In all honesty. when the XI's dropped back in 96, my favorite color was the colombia's. then came the concords and then breds. Its just that yellowingis the real problem about that shoe. I think that's why you don't really see anyone with them on compaired to the other colorways.

 

[nktran001]

Yeah, it's the discoloring that is a turn down and no one wants to make it any more worse than it already is.

The Grapes V's were the same way in the summer of 1990 they were on sale racks now people swear their the best V's

 

[yo andreee]

I never liked the Columbia XI's... That's my opinion..

 

[blackmambakb24]

the patent yellow leather on mine is already yellow... but who cares.. still rock em with pride!

 

[superfly]

they are straight.......

I love the Columbia XIs!

Too bad my ORIGINAL deadstock sz 10.5 pair that my uncle gave to me were stolen just a couple years ago.

I had a small collection of 8 pairs back then before I started to activelycollect and I guess I'm lucky that they were the only ones stolen. Although they were my faves, I still had my Bred, Concord, and Cool Grey XIs, PlayoffXIIIs and a few others.

Been looking for a Deadstock OG pair for over a year now in 10.5.

 

[andfattoo]

patiently on my search for an OG pair.

 

[solekollectah81]

Good luck finding a icey pair, but I think it is one of the top 5 greatest Jordans.

People need to quit posting crap like this. Youknow damn well that fakes don't have carbon fiber
and air in them. In case some of you don't know YET, cdp 11s are like 23s with the pinky toe issue
until you wear them like 5 times and mold the sole to your foot contour. They fit true to size unless
your feet are jacked up, (they don't even crease in the toe box

).Fake 11s are horrible period.


Some of you just post things and only know what you read that was posted by an 11 year old.

i have a ds retro size 12 pair of columbias for sale just drop me a pm & we can talk... & there is NO YELLOWING AT ALL on the PL or the bottom

 

[dj4rmtx]

I loved the Columbia's. I remember before I got into shoes my cousin had these ('96), and I thought they were one of the dopest shoes I had ever seen.

 

[the12the22the32the4]

They're great when DS, but they are one of those that look awful when they get worn. I can deal with a non-icey sole, but the yellowed patent leather justreally hurts the shoe for me.

+1. dont follow hype

 

[kingjames216]

Prob my favorite 11 but they were super tough to keep white and icey....Jams are tied with concords for 2nd

 

[jreese44]

I loved the colorway, but couldn't get wit low top patent leather XI's though. Like everyone else said though, the yeloowing of the sole is the onlybig problem. I've seen some DS one's on EBAY before that were in great shape as far as the yellowing. It was minimal, but they are sort of a rare findnow....
