Defining Moments, It's been 6 years

[showtimexii]

I bought a pair of the XI's and love wearing them, so comfortable compared to the last couple XI retros. Never had the VI's but would love to find a cheap pair to restore!

Recently saw a lightly worn pair in my size go for 300 on here

So sad I missed out

I'm happy with my decision but since I plan on wearing my 11's not sure whether the DMP's would have been a better choice.

If you're lookin for an XI with icy soles that stay icey it looks like the 2011 concord is your best bet. Although the quality and look of the 2000 concord is much much better.  How much did you pay for the 2000?

The thing is I had a pair of 2011 Concords that I recieved from Snipes. The quality and comfort was terrible compared to my 2001 Bred XI's. So I had to move the 2011 Concords for $335 shipped. Then I used that money to buy the DS 2000 Concords for $340 shipped.

  Last night I decided to Rit dye (royal blue) and Seaglow the soles and it turned out nice even with the slightly yellowed soles. So now I can rock them without having to worry about piss yellow soles in the future.

  
  

There you go. Good work!! I have the 2000 concord, dmp xi and the 2011 just because its my favorite of all time (I know cliche but I cant help what I like

).. Sounds like you did the right thing tho. I honestly like the quality of the DMPs the best though. If you can pm me with some pics. Id like to see the work. Glad you got what you wanted tho fam. I cant hate

Thanks bruh, I will pm you pics of the Concords this weekend when I have more time. Do you really like your DMPs better quality wise over the 2000 Concords? Let me know why? I have to admit though every time I see the black&gold plated carbon fiber on the DMPs can't help but

Really would love this pack!

 

[chicagoldrs]

I wish I would have been able to get this...can't justify paying damn near a G for shoes after the fact.

Yeah I know.
Totally not worth it bro.

You can always make the argument that nothing is worth the inflated resell price.  Look at Yeezy's, or South beach Brons......are they worth the $700-$2500 they command for a pair??  Not at all, at least IMO.  But if you had to pick a pack or JB shoe(s) that represent the man, and the culture, none do it better than this pack.  For me, this pack is priceless because it includes my two absolute favourite signatures, AND they're in the CW's I love with a little twist.  Black/Infra 6's are my #1, and Concords are #2

 I have two packs myself (one to rock and one to stock) but I definitely do not have a pair of these! I need me these.. SO SO FRESH! 
@Vaddy I just like the feel of the dmp. The sole is clean, the quality is on point and the gold accents are on point IMO. Don't get me wrong I love my 2000 concords too, but I see people rocking regular concords more than a DMP, especially now

...Its all personal preference tho and if you are happy with what you got then that's what matters fam

What a gem!!  You're a lucky dude!  Is this a recent photo???  If it is, you've done a great job at whatever you've done to avoid the gold bleeding into the mesh

Not a recent photo but I do check them every season. They are fine. Gold bleeding aint that obvious with nature light. All I am worrying about is the black color fading on the icy sole.

Were you one that recieved the lettered lacelocks on release day or did you pick up after release?

 

[kingofspades55]

Yes they still put every other package to shame...SMH the resale price is still thru the roof.

Had no luck on the RD. Bought 4 packs from eBay later for some reason, 2 of them were Jordan Eyelets'.

 Both Jordan Eyelet pairs were much icier than the regular pairs.
