Yea, would prefer a Nike tho since they got NBA and MJ rights so they could do it again if they wanted.

I got rid of my red 45 like 2 years back got the white one coming in soon tho

95 > 2018 > Does it really matter?
DMPs are not included in my opinion btw. Those are fire and always will be.

DMPs are special case. If they don’t count them it’s 95 and 18 no contest

I was born in 95 and pretty sure I had the 00 pair as A child

I never noticed the distaste for the 2000’s. Always thought of them being second closest to OG, behind the 18’s of course. I think 2000’s have 18’s beat in comfort tho.

A couple quick pics. Pair #1 haha.

Are these concords cut different from the last Space Jam release?

The 12 Jersey and the 5s is a BAD false equivalency to the 45 Playoff 11s. The original shoes actually had the 45 for the 11s. Only Mike’s jersey had a 12. The 5s he wore were just regular 5 PEs with a 23.

People bring the 12 jersey thing up all the time when complaining about the 45, and it’s a terrible comparison

Slightly lower towards the front. That’s it.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

they're really marketing the $%#@ out of these too..which makes me think there will be enough to go around for those who want them


SNKRS app for me

Bruh every time i open the snkrs app they reminding me to get notified lol

They aren't Mitchell n Ness but these I have had since 95. Bought them both in the 8th grade. By the time I started wearing them, he switched back. Still glad I held on to them.

 

[doublemesh96]

Wow so close to the og! Toe box a little off but pretty damn close.

Still waiting on a medial and overhead shot comparison

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

If they actually use the reserve process thru the footsites, then I'll feel relaxed. If they do the fcfs crap..it will go down all over the country!

Knowing nike they'll probably make em do fcfs so they can be all over the news again

let's hope not tho

Though this is true, Nike/Jordan Brand could still use this as a marketing scheme.

They really shouldnt though. Its a situation driven from a theft. I dont see much marketing there.

they raised and straightened out the collar

When you get a chance, can you give straight shots of the back of both together.

They shouldn't but it is a story/apart of history. If they did a shoe inspired by the reseller culture nothing is off limits.

Sure, butI doubt they would. The 45 and it’s story holds a little more historical capital IMO. The 45 11s and even the 10 wouldve dropped way before 2015 according Gentry H.

Making the 12 jersey into a gimmick would truly be rock bottom.

I would say they passed the rock bottom phase......your just putting a stitched #12 on the 5's not creating a monster.

 

[JRepp23]

Im buying a 6 rings concord before Id buy a 5 with a #12 on it.

 

[JACKFROSTY843]

It don't matter how many pizzas are brought to a party...their will always be some who can't get a slice.........never bite the hand that feeds....

 

[Canadian Destroyer]

Were you still debating at this point?

Yes. I’m in the minority here but have posted numerous times my dislike for the 45 and the High PL cut.

 

[Dubby]

Wow lol that post was like 200 pages ago but anyways as crazy as that pigeon release was that doesn’t compare to the 2011 concord release. That pigeon release was an isolated event in NY. That concord release was shutting $hit down all over the country and made national news. Don’t really see how you can compare the 2.

Was catchin up fool. Did cats die over these in 95?
