right...

Considering I own both, I think I have the audacity/right/sense to know what i'm talking about. I know what feels good to me, and like I said, these CG's are more comfortable to me. Sue me. Dudes just can't give anything pre-jb 2005 props around here. I certainly notice the lapse in quality of their products, but it's not all bad, and the cushioning in these definitely isn't.

I have no problem with you saying these are better then the 01 black/reds but by your own account the black/reds would be less then a 7.5/10 idk about that part. The 01s are pretty comfortable.

Never said that. Only said these are more comfortable. We all know the '01's have better materials, but the cushioning in the 2010 Cool Grey's is more comfortable.

^I guess I took your rating as an overall rate and not just for comfort.

I rated them in general, not as opposed to the black/reds.

Flash from the Iphone. It's not a deep blue hue though, which I like. Seems like most of the pairs from Footalog came with the deep blue hue, while others (mine coming from Sneakerape) are lighter.

i dunno...i personally think the blue sole ruins the shoe.  but thats my opinion.  I like the clearer sole with a slight blue tint to it,  not the super blue soles everyone seems to be a fan of...hopefully the actual released date pairs wont have it but who knows?

i ordered on footalog on the 9th and paid the extra 12 bucks for fast shipping. Did anyone else get anything other than a paypal confirmation? and about when should i be looking out for these?

Q F M F T . . . .

Like I said the other day fools be recallin the early 2000s like it was "The Matrix" or something; just a perfect world wit perfect kiccs... not at all cuz

  

i'd take jordanfans opinion on these more seriously then alot of other people who are hyping up the 2010's that haven't owned a pair of 2000 or 2001 xi's. he has both pairs and if that's his opinion after comparing both pairs it holds more weight to me then those that don't have a pair of 2000 or 2001 xi's but are voicing their opinions on comparisons.

that being said I personally would rather spend the extra $100-150 and try to get a pair of 2001 cool greys but that's just me.

Thanks. And of course I would prefer the original CG's over these, but I have yet to run across a pair of DS size 11's in my size that wasn't, as you stated, $100+. I just really can't bring myself to pay that much for a pair of shoes, at least not at this point in time (college life 

). But these 2010 retros are cool.

 

[soleflyer23]

its gonna be crazy when these release...

 

[sneakerinterior]

Can't wait.

Got a pair of 01 that was worn once on the cheap off ebay just last week.  Unless you're someone who is dead set on getting a DS pair of 01 cool grey, they can be had for under 200 these days.  Size 12 too.

 

[ELTORO84]

I got my pair from Footalog yesterday. The soles are not as blue as they look in the Pics. The quality isn't bad either. I'm very happy with my purchase. Flints XIIIs and White/Red XIIIs next on the list.

Nice pickup bro where the H##=ll u been hiding at. I got my pair on lock down here in the H. My patna from Northline footlocker say he can hold my size 14 for me if a chunk him a little on the side. If I give him 200 ill be straight, but he had asked me if I knew anyone else that wanted them and I told him that I would see. But neways nice pickup how they fit on you are they narrower than the OGs and to do they suck compared to the 01 retro quality wise. Never did even get my hands on or seen the Space Jams in person up close so I never knew

One week after ordering them.

 

[marley]

So to those who have them. Is it safe to say the sizing on these is comparable to the 2009 Space Jams which tend to run considerably smaller than the 2000/2001 XI releases?

I'm normally a 10.5, but got an 11 and they fit perfect.

 

[gottabdashoes]

I wear an 11 and got 11.5. They also fit perfectly. I recommend a half size up just like that SJ's.

The space jams fit slightly tighter than the older retro xis.
I would suggest getting the same size that you got in the space jams.

OK tnx 4 all!

QFT again.... I've been looking for DS Cool Grey XI size 11 HARD for like four years now. I've got my original pair in pretty decent condition, just got the "apple-juice" bottoms

Havent seen them for less than $300 lately but I haven't been stalkin them like I once was. If I could blue-RIT my yellowed bottoms or SeaGlow then RIT I wouldn't even trip off the 2010s. I'm gonna get them though for Christmas just like the SJs though and then all be movin on to somethin else
