Official Jordan XI Thread

We good on the legend blue colorblocking considering we already got them for Xmas

Better be these with a better shape

These and the cherrys are the GOAT XI lows. I would def cop a pair. Maybe would even double up.

To me one of the X factors in putting the Concords and Space Jams over the Breds is they're both more versatile/wearable

The Breds are bold, the Jams are understated

Jams are a solid 3rd place for me among the 11’s. Still a 10/10 shoe though.

But yea, I do have a bias toward black/red colorways, precisely because they are bold and aggressive usually. In fact, outside the 10’s (Shadows are just ok to me, prefer Chi’s/Steels), I don’t think there is a single model 1-14 where the black red isn’t my favorite. I go back and forth between the black reds and white reds for the 12’s, probably a tie for me there.

Why is K Kierris banned from this thread?

Do you like the black tongues more than the black metallic 5s?

Probably not, but it’s dang close. BT’s are definitely a very close second. And Carmines are a very close second for me behind the black/infared for the 6.

The 3 and 4 are a bit tougher. After the black cements, the fire reds and white cements are pretty competitive. I think with the 3 the white cements probably win by a hair. It’s arguably the most iconic 3, even if the BC is my personal favorite. For the 4’s, I think the Fire Red is perfectly executed, and it might just edge out the WC for the #2 spot for 4’s.

Here's the latest news/speculation about these. It's the University Blue XI Low after all. I was clearly wrong with previously speculating these were going to be a tweaked version of a sky blue and white XI Low.

But this one speculates it isn't sure if it's an exact copy though. We'll just have to wait and see.

[OldManJays]

Might be in for these. Would make a great summer shoe.

 

[g-time]

100% in for those.

 

['96Hov]

Do I double up on Space Jams (my forever grails) or buy a pair of 2018 Concords?

I still have 2 pairs of the 2011 Concords, one DS and one lightly worn

These are the tough decisions...

 

[KourtKleaner]

Should've gave us a mid version of them

 

[therealest1]

 

[g-time]

And I’m fine with that if I even get them.

 

['96Hov]

Nas in the Breds

 

['96Hov]

Do you think we'll get the Concord jumpman next time the Space Jams drop?

I've never understood why Varsity Royal was used on any of them considering the shoes Jordan wore in the movie were Concord

 

[jordanhead718212]

The last retro had the Concord jumpman...

I know but they seem to alternate

I'm hoping for 23 on the back + Concord

Zen Grey 11s my favorite low, bet yall dont remember those

The lows last year had royal. I think that's a sign that they will go back to being royal. Being 30* years old the 2000 and 2009 space jams are very sentimental to me. The 2009 release actually brought me to this site, so I actually wouldn't mind the royal accents. Maybe even a lil lower PL. Technically these aren't the OG's so I am down for some changes. Fingers crossed for holiday 2026 . (30th anniversary) I will def triple up. 23 on the back as well please. JB I know you hear me.

Never liked the slide out box. Great storytelling but it was a journey just trying to get the ******* shoes out.

 

[g-time]

Exactly. Slide out boxes were a pain in the ***
