+2 I understand the hype but this will be the first Dec XI release i'll be passing. Space jams are fine with me. Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler! so you'll cop these? U make the yeezy thread look so much better
Patent leather cut looks great. but this colorway looks unispired. just black/reds with the sole of the space jams. .. i want completely new colorway!
I didn't forget those. They aren't relevant to the newer releases since they originally dropped in 99/00 along with the space jams. I'm talking about the newer release pattern.
I thought about mentioning the gammas, but those were different. The smoke soles were enough to say cop (even though it is my least favorite XI and I simply copped to add to the collection). But, if these do release, they aren't creative enough for me to warrant me spending $225-250 (cuz JB will up the price)
This. in the 1995 nba playoffs mj wore the black/concords which were pe's (#45). they were often mistaken with the space jams which he wore in the movie (#23) which had a blue jumpman and blue herringbone sole during one close up scene before the tip off in that movie. In the 1996 nba playoffs mj wore in a few games the aj 11 low i.e. in black/true red-wred-white. in most gamee he wore the mids black/reds
Yeah....but the guy mentioned about the playoffs against Orlando. Those patent lows were only worn in the finals against the sonics. they were hard to spot as they look quite the same On tv. only those clear photos made it clear that mj wore some pe lows.
Nike should of just released the original blk/concord space jams. That would of been a nice treat. These just loo strange I'm just so use to seeing a red jumpman with a red sole.
If it's like the Space Jams just with red accents I'm in. If it's the Sapp PEs I'm in. If it's the Space Jams with Concord and the #45 I'm in. If it's iridescent I might be out, not sure how that would look on a XI. Will wait for pics before I decide. I always felt not many colorways would work on the XI. Don't think it can get better than the OGs, Space Jams, and Cool Greys. Pantones, Gammas, the all red joints, they're all decent but just don't compare to the others I first mentioned. IMO, if the Playoff like joints drop they'll be right up there with the other classics.
The iridescent still is a question mark though Does anyone know if it is confirmed then patent will be iridescent, and will it be black based? PO2345 confirming these as an example worries me
