Air Jordan 11 Retro- Black/Red “Playoff”- 12/14/2019

[nuclear1990]

Red tint is becoming the chemtrail of og details. Some notice it and some ignore it/refuse to accept it lol

Like heel contrast on infrared VIs.

 

[JRepp23]

not even close to being the same. sorry that you sounded so sure about this, but you are wrong. here is a pic of my OGs for reference. the retros will peel in no time whereas this has stood the test of time for how many years?? so yea...

My apologies to you. I'm just going off what mine look like. I don't see much difference.

 

[pmpdaddyrobford]

I want the mesh to be black and that's it :/

This release is going to be crazy!!

Not only does the playoffs appeal to us, the black/red colorway appeals to everyone outside of NT, let alone it being an 11 and the holidays.

Come release day, don’t expect a far to easy cop

Brah there’s millions of pairs. If you strike out on these you put in no work.

I was just finna say that these will be just like the jams & concords if you want a pair you’ll be able to get a pair everyone gone eat off this release !! we not in the 2010-2012 era no more

Then your pair sucks. MJ's pair on championship night didn't suck. Mine don't, either. I already told you I don't give a **** what was intended.

MOSTLY kidding. I already said it's not that big of a deal, brotha. But it also is if you had it. I am sorry, I can't own a pair of OGs for 23-plus years and now pretend it didn't happen. But I assume we are getting these retros without it, and I'm cool with that. Black/reds are my third-favorite OG 11s, anyway. Still, there IS a difference. Minor, but real.

Just for the record, in no wise am I denying the difference, that’s clear.

However, turning a factory mishap into a “feature” is taking it too far IMHO.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I expect and easy copp if the foot apps are still running the same in december

 

[jordanhead718212]

Yeah if red tint is gonna be the new heel contrast/speckle density, i'm out. Not gonna read about mans complaining about that from now to December

 

[dhtowng]

I honestly don’t know what’s so great about the supposed red tint anyway. I mean I get that it was there on some pairs but given the fact that it was never intentional make it a mute point to complain about it’s absence IMO. Doesn’t make the shoe look any better or worse either way IMO. It’s intended to be just black mesh. Some people just have to have something to cling to. These look perfect in those SBD pics especially and they appear to have the so called red tint so there’s that. Be happy.

I think he's referring to how the OG 11's had the 23 printed INTO the collar/heel lining rather than ONTO. I believe the OG's used textile printing which is essentially applying a design directly to the fibers of a material, bonding it to said fibers in the process. Which is why as the OG's were worn in more, the 23 would fade away and not crack and peel like the 23 on current 11's which is simply printed onto the collar material.

 

[dhtowng]

Fading, cracking and peeling all suck equally. The 23 on these will be fine. 23s on all my 11s from ‘09-present are all still very much in tact. No problems with cracking/peeling whatsoever.

 

[redstars001]

Whatever the case is/was with the red tint, whether it was intentional or not, whether it was made in China or Taiwan, whether it was different factories, I personally would like the black mesh to be just that, BLACK and keep the red on the logos and the sole, no tint necessary.

 

[bestintheworld]

Man those pics sneakerbardetroit put up yesterday those look incredible. I’m so excited for these, initial pics had me about the red on the sole but these are a no brainer

 

[nuclear1990]

I wouldn't be mad if they stitched in the 23. I know that's not true to OG but imo it looks better.

The only 23 that I've had chip were....the CDPs.

 

[3god]

I want the mesh to be black and that's it :/

 

[KanyIZZY]

The red hue thing is one of the details with the least priority. The correct red on the sole and JM is more important. I'm just really excited they look so good so far.

 

[3god]

For a long time I’ve had Concords at the top, but these Black/Reds are bringing me back to ‘96 and ‘01 big time right now............... never had the OG but I was dying for them.. might have to put these back at the top.

#tintgate

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Black and reds are the goat

 

[doublemesh96]

These and the concords might be the 2 most accurate retros ever. Can’t understand why all og jordans don’t get this treatment

 

[andoneflip]

These are so fire cant wait to get my pair

 

[3god]

Black and reds are the goat

Of ALL Jordan’s?

 

[akademikgenius]

wow. Haven't had these since i was in high school in 01..Might have to cop me a pair

 

[nuclear1990]

Of ALL Jordan’s?

Those and Chicago 1s would be my top 2.
