AIR JORDAN 11 “GRATITUDE” / THANK YOU - 12/09/2023

[g-time]

Sounds like a normal Jordan release for Davey..

 

[slaughterx]

I’m so in the fence about whether I want to try to get a pair of these.

It’s an iconic shoe and they do look pretty cool.

…but it’s not the kind of shoe I wear.

Cant wear what you dont have...

 

[Davey Magoo]

Cant wear what you dont have...

Now I have to get them.

...purely out of spite.

They dropped to many OG colors back to back...space jams...concords...breds...now for years it's just weird colors or a spinoff twist like this upcoming one. ...jams aren't a true OG color but close enough.

I consider Space Jams as OGs because they were the first black pair of 11s we ever saw. Lol

 

[slaughterx]

All I need is EA on these and I think I'm done for the year.

11s just aren’t as easy to wear with jeans and casual clothes as 1s, 3s, and 4s since they look a lot more athletic than those shoes plus people don’t really mess with patent leather like they used to in the 90s and early 2000s.

They messed up doing the win like 82's and 96's. Those should have been December releases.

After we get Columbia's , they'll probably have to go back to gammas

I’d be good if they made their way back to these

 

[slaughterx]

They need to GR those Drake snakeskin highs, barrons in high top form, and retro pantones...

Win Like 96s were a December release.

Lol weren’t these massively hated when they dropped?

Possibly? I thought they were pretty limited though so I don’t think many of the people that did like them could even get them.

11’s will always be GOAT to me. It is Tinkers true masterpiece, his apex. He already had a ton of classics but with the 11 he just outdid himself. The 11 was so ahead of its time and plus the history surrounding the shoe just makes it timeless.

IIRC they were also like $400 retail, no?

The model doesn’t resonate with younger people like 1s and 4s do though.

 

[slaughterx]

Yeah, all Pinnacles were $400

 

[jordanhead718212]

I hate Suede 11s just like how I hate suede foams

11’s >>> 1s and 4’s, regardless of how many Gen Z’ers love them lol.

 

[KanyIZZY]

There was a time when 11's were everyones fav over 1's unless you were a die hard but 99 IV's grew to give them plenty of comp.

 

[sneakaprince]

Kanye never wore 11s.


The younger generation didnt see Mike play and they don't connect with the 11 the same way. It's just the shoe their parents and older siblings used to obsess over.

Totally subjective but the youth have spoken about 1s and 4s vs 11s..

11s resonate with a lot of old dudes though so I guess, in a way, they might be considered a new age “dad shoe”?

 

[frank mucus]

As a guy born in 2006, the DMP 11s are my grail. So these are a must cop for me.
