Original AJ XI November 1995

OG Concords are the GOAT.

Everything from the massive amount of patent leather, to the ice blue soles.

Memories, memories, memories....

It's a damn shame we will never see a pair of XI's like that again.

Ha, I was in like 2nd grade when that catalog was out...those X's for the discount would have been mine if I could have gotten a raise on myallowance...haha
 
ahhh, high school. yeah, back then, i used to think the X's were sooo ugly.

who else wants to start the RETRO AIR GO movement.
 
Personally, I thought the Xs were terrible. I thought the XIII were wresting shoes.

But the XIs were just UN-@%@*@!*-REAL.

The XIIs were awesome too. I had the Grant Hill's and the Kemp's.

Such a ridiculously great shoe and awesome model. XIs will never be cut like the OGs were again. Period.

I swear...I called that Eastbay magazine calling for that specific product number for months and months. CDP XIs are a joke. Retro XIs just aren't thesame. DMP XIs are okay but not like OGs. They just aren't.

Yo...I remember when people called them plastic shoes...or marching band shoes. I loved them though. These shoes used to get a lot of hate and nowthey are regarded as the best sneakers of all time. Crazy.
 
somebody seriously censor out the product number

Man, just looking at those catalog pics brings back memories. I was still in high school when those dropped
 
Looking back the '90s were insane for sneaker culture, very cool to see the shoe game evolve over the years
 
I never had a pair of Concords or any XI for that matter when they first dropped. But I remember some dude rockin a fresh pair of OG Concords back in schooland I couldn't keep my eyes off of them. They were just beautiful.

XI's will always be regarded by most as the g.o.a.t. for Air Jordans because of how sophisticated and elegant they look. The design is timeless and if Icould ever go back now and buy what I couldn't back then I'd have at least 10 pairs in my closet today. I wish.......
