Great read, hard to not consider them as an 11 low though. Although not anexact low top counterpart but a variation.Old NT was the best NT.
We really used to get to the bottom of stuff fairly frequently around here…
The colorway for the the OG Cobalt’s was supposed to be “I.E. White / Light Grey-Cobalt”…Probably meaning Ingrained Elephant which would’ve been way too long to print on the colorway line…An error on printing the labels caused the I.E. to sit on a line by itself…Comfirmed through Tinker that it meant nothing…In fact the actual name of the shoe wasn’t even the Jordan 11 Low, it was just the Jordan Low…As Tinker put it “I wasn’t interested in an exact replica of a XI in a low top; I was more interested in doing a low top that was partly the Jordan XI, but fresher.”…So the actual 11 Lows ARE the patent leather pairs, while these are just the Jordan Low
Box labels and naming were one of THE most inconsistent things on OG sneakers…They were literally an afterthought for the most part…Literally some labels would simply read “AIR JORDAN” as the name of the shoe while others from the exact same shoe would read “JORDAN 11” or “AIR JORDAN XI”…But y’all can read through this old thread for a bit more info…Also added an old interview with Tinker that gets some insight into the model

Yeah, nothing about these screams XI low. Only thing in common is the midsole and sole...but they were known to re-use and swap midsoles/soles out for different uppers on different shoes coming out. They still do.Old NT was the best NT.
