Watched that movie on video when younger. It easily could've have passed as royal. HD wasn't around those days. Plus in 2000 it wasn't givin that much thought. Most just assumed yep, that's the same color and everything. Still pics over the years educated me as well. Mostly this forum/site actually.

color was concord. I assume it varies just like with other colors JB uses, I've seen some pics where the purple on aqua 8s look bluish

Nike switches colors around on certain retros and it pisses me when they do that. Just when you think you got the original Jordan you always wanted to get back. Nope, shades of red, purple blue, actually matter to certain. But it smart in one way to keep us all coming back for more. I don't want to by 5 diff versions of the jam to fill the thirst of what I wanted out of just that one perfect pair. To me the pe is a perfect retro, to others a jam with 23 on the back is perfect and I agree. It depends on what that shoe personally means to you. The Brand knows how to keep us coming back. Colors are the main attraction and they know it. A shade of red has made myself buy several diff jordans of the same model. I hate to admit. But when you want that perfect pair you continue to buy. Hell aqua VIIIs are one my all times, and a shade of GREY got my purchase and I had originals and own the 07.

I kinda agree with this. I feel like this shoe doenst know what it is lol. In Nightwings video he is like "What is it, Space Jams, or PEs"? I don't know. It makes me wonder how Nike isn't decided on what it is. Honestly, I don't have the connection to Jordans as others do. That's not to knock anyone who wants this shoe. To me, and I know I might get roasted, but I'm gonna have to try these on. I don't really like black shoes.....I'm kinda digging these though. I think I have decided, if I can go to the mall and try them on and like them, I will buy. If I dont, then it's no big deal to pass.***shoulder shrug***

With you on your comment, they put the space jam packaging all over it. But a 45 on the back of the shoe. PE or the movie, where are they going. With all the packaging, you would think they would take it all the way. The shoe says PE the packaging says Movie. I love the PE version more but still this is how Nike does, give a little but not all. With all the hype, 23 should have been on the back to match the movie version completely. This is what nike does to us. Wanting that perfect pair.

he's right... nightwing's pair is sitting straight, da first pair is tilted towards us so it skewes da angle.

So what do you think about the 3 pics above? Just wanting your thoughts if possible about all this.

even with the overhead angle it's clear the pl height is higher and thicker than nightwing's pair

i would wait till ya can verify they're da exact same size before we all jump to conclusions..
i hope JB actually commits to da higher cut Patent leather...that nightiwng pair is a lil bit deflating, why 1/2 step on da OGish looking mold and pull a 2009ish cut last minute?
not to mention da 2009 pairs are wild uncomfortable..

i don't think verifying size is necessary, especially since the retail pair is a retail pair and the gm pair is not. Many"early" pairs had ridiculously high pl cuti would wait till ya can verify they're da exact same size before we all jump to conclusions..

nightwing's pair lacks that bulkiness da early pairs & OG's had...

Ugh how we know Nightwing pair is legit? I hope mines look like the MS/early pairs honestly. Thought we was making progress. NW pair is better than 09 but not good enough. Hope his are fake. Damn!

OG PL didn't swallow of the while upper like people claimed to justify the early pairs and i hope retail pairs don't either
OG PL was higher originally but not too high

Eh I guess your kind of right. I'll give you that. I just now took the time to actually look at nightwings video and they actually don't look bad and are pretty on par with what I was expecting. I just think a lot of people (maybe younger) don't understand just how bulky OG/2000 11s actually used to be. A lot of us are excited to see that look come back and after those early pics the mere thought of going back to that horrible low/banana profile is haunting to say the least. Anyway, if this "app" mess prevents me from getting 2 pairs of this shoe I swear I'm going to raise hell.
