Air Jordan 11 Retro- Black/Red “Playoff”- 12/14/2019

[Kierris]

Best 3 silhouettes in order for me:

Jordan 11
Jordan 6
Jordan 3

11’s are iconic. Concords and Breds are GOAT sneakers period.

6’s from a design perspective are absolutely incredible. The way they shape your foot, the inspiration, the use of Infrared on the flagship colorway.

The 3’s were where Jordan’s first became a unique shoe line to me. The elephant print design is so unique and something that if someone explained to you, you’d probably doubt it’d work. But seeing it on the BC 3’s and WC 3’s.. it’s just poetry in a shoe.

Damn our top 3 is almost the same except I'll have the Xiis instead of Xis.... Great taste

Yea that’s probably my top 3 as well. After that it gets pretty hard though. Not sure how I would rank the 4’s, 5’s, 7’s, 12’s, and 13’s.

For me playoffs 11 is my first jordan I ever got, and it’s the shoe where the bulls first wore black nba socks, Jordan was the ish with the bulls unis, black red knee pad, with black nba socks and ending with the 11 playoffs. Truly iconic this one shoe is.

HARD as ****, not to have these at least in your top 5...

ALL-TIME.

Like I said before, the 96's are just PERFECTION.

I'm assuming the 2019's, are BASED off the Taiwan 96's...

No one's mentioned that the mesh panels on the OGs have a purple-brown shine when hit with light.

It's been talked about a few times.. I think this thread had a few pages about it. Some said it's there, some said its time. My only gripe with 2019's is how inconsistent they were. 1 of my pairs almost looks like an 01 release and the other is better but STILL nothing like how Concords and CG's came out.

They all have inconsistencies though.

 

[KanyIZZY]

I only got 1 pear but haven’t even worn em yet. Compared to my pack pair they are really close. Not sure why that release was so slept on.

We talking DMP VI retro from 2020? Not a chance in hell those were slept on lol. The hood LOVED those and folks that wanted them finally copped. I think they made a lot and there were restocks etc but that was JUST before the reselling thing took off.

But ANYTIME I was outside during the height of the pandemic .. that was the shoe everyone wore. ..maybe your area was different?

They were slept on in the city of socal

Maybe which id find interesting. I remember the restocks and retail price point months after release. They were mad easy to come by. But I never really saw more than a person or two wearing them, since they released lol

I'm STILL kinda kicking myself, for not grabbing this pair off eBay, last year. They were FLAWLESS, but the seller wanted at least a stack for them.

The first pic looks just like a 2019 pair, but with those VIBRANT red outsoles. It just goes to show you how well some of the 2019 pairs, turned out.

On a real note tho them mesh panels lookin like soggy bread

 

[Kierris]

My 19' pair looks better. Good to see those things are still holding up like that.

When talking about the GOAT jordan, I agree it's literally impossible to pick only 1. At the very bare minimum, you HAVE to at least go with top 5 and even that is a very tough task. For me, and this is in no particular order, these are my top 5...

White cement 3
BC3
White cement 4
Bred 4
Concord


If I round out the next 5 for my top 10, and these can also be interchangeable, it goes like this ...


Bred 1
Black/Infrared 6
Bordeaux 7
Charcoal 9
Bred 11


Those are THE 10 best jordans and colorways ever created imo. Keep in mind I love everything 1-23. I don't stop at 14.

 

[charmcitykid]

If I can only choose 1 colorway from 1-14, it goes like this...

Bred 1
Chi 2 low
BC3
Bred 4
Fire red 5 (silver tongue)
Black/infra 6
Bordeaux 7
Aqua 8
Charcoal 9
Steel 10
Concord 11
Taxi 12
Bred 13
Last shot 14

Aqua 8s don’t get enough respect

2 - none I don’t like this model at all

ii = Trash

2 pass

I thought I was the ONLY one. In fact, I thought the 2's always looked like a pair of Fila's. It's a reason Jordan almost left Nike, after those. They've ALWAYS been UBER trash to me.



I'd still like to own a pair of the Chicago's, just for collection purposes though.​

They were sitting on some of the sites for a bit. They were definitely easy to come by. They came out kinda during the height of all the pandemic uncertainty. They were before Flint 13s. That's when everything became so hard to get. The FR 5s were easy to get too.
