HOLIDAY 2021 - Cool Grey 11

[sicembu]

Not a troll. I just think that with how high the patent leather is on the 2021 release they look like crap. Just look at the 2000 release and see how it should look

My buddy that lives in Asia said that everyone gets their XIs from a person by the name of Mango. It's crazy because they have a different supplier for each number of Jordan they buy through lol. I was... damn fakes are that serious there???

 

[dragicon]

Things must be changing in Asia because when I lived there, I just went to the Nike store to buy my Jordan’s

It's like $80-$100 cheaper to buy a pair of fake Jordans and a lot of people are out of work or making considerably less money. There's a reason why you see a ton of people with the Jordan 1's and retail stores are still fully stocked.

 

[rafbuddy]

At the end of the day, prices be too high to justify buying on the resale market. This ain’t about bragging rights, it’s about affordability. Nike did this to themselves, so if you can’t afford the resale it’s all good. Y’all judgin peeps too hard lol

My experiment failed, I couldn’t pay over 75 United States dollars for faker Jordan’s.

Was hoping maybe I could get a pair of NFT 11s to wear but they’ll be $40000 by summer.

Any seller with LJR Batch

Just go on Reddit you’ll find tons of high end reps, from Jordan/Gucci shoes to Gucci clothes/north face/Canadian goose jackets and recommend sellers so you don’t get jiped. I went deep diving on Reddit when I got sold fake LJR batch black toe 1s on eBay.

Interesting, the 2021 release is by far the best pair of CG XI’s we’ve gotten imo

 

[Boo_Radley_]

I copped a pair off SX, seems fishy that it got processed, verified, shipped less than 24 hrs. Have y'all experienced this? I've never seen this type of turnaround with SX. With my luck they are fakes.

Yeah this happened to me recently as well. Shoes were literally at my doorstep 5 days after I ordered them. During Christmas week at that.

 

[airflight69]

Ohh ill def be in for WC3 and 4s when they come back, along with Bordo 7s, playoff and Taxi 12s... and I want those UNC 3s. Probably Chicago 1s too because I dont have any red 1s.

Don't forget cherry 12s

 

[slaughterx]

Just need flu games

 

[iTookanL]

Wtf is a LJR batch?

A specific factory that makes some of the best replica AJ1s, AJ11s, and others. There are many different batches and there are even factories that use retail soles and material (though they cost more money)

All the recent 11’s are much closer to the og in terms of shape and patent leather height. The 2018 Concord was almost spot on. Make the patent leather thicker and the toe box slightly more narrow and it’s a 1:1. Love the current 11 mold.

 

[1988supersport]

I loved the playoffs and jams, only j I can think of I regret not doubling up on. All the recent 11's seem better then most other Jordon retros. Wish I could've got the cg's but I'm too salty to buy resale.

yeah, everyone has a preference. I just happen to like a smaller amount of patent leather. I also think the toe box on the newer pairs looks a little wonky

The PL is so high on my concords I don’t wear them, I look like a greaser

 

[Kierris]

This is hilarious cause it's so true. This is why I usually give myself at least 6 months before I rock any gr Jordans I cop especially 11s.

 

[rbk93]

Any cop usually gets rocked next day unless I pick up more than one pair of course, but I always rotate. Some get worn more just due to comfortability. K Kierris

It's like this with any Jordan on release day or week for sure lol.

 

[1988supersport]

Them jawns getting wore especially if they some 11's. U got more willpower then me.

 

[Deleted member 107398]

I rock my kicks whenever *shrug* idc what the next person is wearing I’m washed anyway so I don’t even “dress”…all hoodies and sweats

*Bonus* ironically found this old pic of the day I picked up the 2010 CGs (12/23/10)

Spoiler

 

[aceofjays]

Patent leather damn there on the midsole lol

This.
It took a while for me to come around but these last couple years were it.
I refuse to pay for some ****bois next Porsche just to turn around at some point and find out the pair i thought was legit was actually fake or to impress people who other wise could give a damn about me personally. My stance especially given the quality of fakes has totally changed from looking down on them to acceptance of the issues at hand.

 

[zombiejohnny]

I rocked my pair today. Definitely more comfortable than the last retro of the Concords and Breds that I own.

 

[Deleted member 107398]

^ clean, these were definitely executed nicely

This happened with my new beginnings pack. They turned out fake. I already had 2 legit packs and them sh*ts were aweful

And the ‘fakes’ aka factories just tryna make some bread off selling directly to the consumer have pretty decent quality control and leather quality.
