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

[fdub]

I actually got rid of these just today. Only have the 2019 pair now. . I think the red on the 19s is closer to OG though. Overall 19s are better even though I loved my 01s since they were the first blk red 11s I ever owned.

I had the 2001 Air Jordan 11 Black/red pair in my 9th grade year. Came out 12/15/2001 for $125. They were a very EASY purchase considering how high the demand was. I remember having a $160 Nike product voucher from returning the charcoal/red Flightposite 1’s. Of course, I saved it to use it on those that year. I remember waking up at 12am EST. to go on Nike.com to get them. Full size run and ordered my size 11 with no issues.



Later that morning, my brother wanted to get his pair at footlocker at Iverson mall here in PG county. I went with him and it wasn’t any long lines, no stupid raffles, no guarantee tickets, and no nothing. Walked in, asked for his size, tried them on, paid for it, and left. I remember as we were leaving, that’s where we started to see more people coming in to get a pair. Back then, it was more exciting to get the newest retro J’s and more appreciated after getting your pair. I guess it’s because retros were still a new thing back then and people wanted more. I miss those days!

Ive sold off at least one pair of my multiples of all my J’s EXCEPT these. Bought 3 pairs in 2019 and absolutely refuse to sell any of them. Simply my fav shoe ever, EVER! If they retro again I will buy 3 more pairs.

[doublemesh96]

I’d rather them do a playoff color blocking with a translucent hyper royal sole

Not really I just think they are using samples and stuff that never been retro

These look like **** imo.

…the mock-ups in the photo look good.

At least we got an incredible bred 11 retro a few years ago. Pretty easy to just skip this velvet pair and pretend they don’t exist.

 

[badboy0074]

This velvet is for women so its fine

 

[dragicon]

Vrelvets? At least we bypassed the speculation of it being the Columbias this upcoming season (such is tradition)

 

[ZOMBAVELI THE DON]

Reimagined breds

 

[slaughterx]

Better left to the (re)Imagination.

 

[slaughterx]

Columbias are coming...

You could probably find something like this on Temu if you really want em

Nice I was a senior in HS, copped them easily in Detroit from Sibley's Shoes. Was shocked how easy they were because of the CG fiasco from earlier that year.

2001 cool grey release was one for the ages possibly worse than 2011 concords in many areas. My whole mall got shutdown. I was a senior that year too. Lost my gold chain in that riot

Saw this and had to agree. I was working at Niketown NY when these released that holiday season. We got so many pairs of Blk/Red XIs in, they literally went around the store asking employees to fill out a sheet with their size to get a guaranteed pair at discount. In my time working there, they have NEVER done anything like that and had not done anything like it since in my time there. There were even leftover pairs into January after the holiday season. So much so, employees were stashing pairs all over the building to buy later that LP couldn't even account for. I was able to snag 2 pairs during that time. Definitely one of the more rare XI releases I participated in.
