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

JB just wanted us to have game worn pairs

 

[DEV.Woulf]

And the YouTube video did posted also said it was his right shoe that was the worst... And go figure as is mine.

Seems to be more affected than the left pairs from reading comments.

 

[Mr Dink]

Don’t have to worry about creasing if I don’t wear my shoes.

Actually my right shoe had worse creasing than the left as well.

15001 and it would be perfect! Damn you Nike!

that's worth a day's walk.

Everyone with creasing issues must weigh 250lbs or more

249lbs here and very minor creasing

I'm 5'2 and 290 lbs of pure muscle and so far from just trying them and standing on tissue paper there has been no creasing to report here.

Absolute units are exempt from the 250lb crease rule

It’s probably a case by case scenario, but some of those creases look terrible for sure.

What does weight have to do with the patent leather creasing? I'm 160 lbs.

They do, but we'll have to see.

Like I said, my 2019 playoffs which I have worn regularly have thin patent leather, just as thin as these and they don't crease as bad as what has been posted. And it's a cheaper SZ factory pair, compared to to my gratitudes which are LNM

 

[zombiejohnny]

What does LNM mean? I keep all you saying that.

 

[scb23]

I doubled up. One LNM and one LN4. Both look identical and great to me. I haven’t owned a pair of 11’s since the ‘95 OG’s and the 2000/01 retros. Patent is definitely thinner than those, but I love the quality of these otherwise. I’ve been wearing them around the house for 4 days and no creasing yet, and I’m not planning to ball in them so I’m happy with them so far.

I balled in the OG 95 concords hard for 6 months and patent still looked great, but I also had teammates with them that looked like trash bags after a month. My 2000/01 retros (space jams, columbias x2 and concords) got a lot of casual wear and some outdoor ball and held up great. I even put a pair of columbias through the washing machine and patent has minimal creasing to this day. Definitely don’t expect the Gratitudes to hold up like those did! Height difference of the patent and ankle is quite noticeable vs the 2001’s, but gratitudes feel closer to 95’s overall - medial patent height is a bit high IMO, but looks great still. 2001 retros were too low and that problem got worse over the years so I’m happy to see the higher tide on these. Gratitudes aren’t perfect, but I’m grateful to have them back in my collection. I’ll be wearing and enjoying them. I’m too old to worry about creasing lol.

Please don't get this started again lol.

It's the factory code. That's all there is to say.

 

[wombat]

LNM pair in the Big Easy

 

[badboy0074]

Wore this a bunch of times since last year and only wore the gratitude once and this cherry is SZ no crease

It means perfection.


SuperDanTheShoeMan YTer says LNM at 15k and they are creased for life.
