They're way better than the Cap and Gowns, it's not even close tbh

Facts. I'll pass on these too, just like I did on the Concord with 45. Should be no deviation from the OG, especially since we've had to wait this long.

I like them. Enough to wear them. Certainly not in my top 5 cw of 11s and definitely overrated for sure. What’s weird is I normally like my laces to be almost camouflaged and not stick out in any way. But for these I actually really like the thick white 11 laces that pop against the gray.

More unique and flow better on the silhouette. Only 1 grey based mid 11. Cap and Gowns are redundant and the worst of the black based 11s, that or the Gammas.

For me, in order it’s Spacejams, Concords, Cool greys, breds, Columbia’s.

Yeah I can’t do the cap n gowns. I need some contrast somewhere. Hear the quality is on point so I thought about customizing them.

Too much grey, to the point of monotony. The low-top version had a more balanced ratio of medium grey, cool grey and white that worked really well with how the white rope laces sat.

Y’all gotta take it easy on Wizards era MJ...In that last season the man averaged 37 minutes, played all 82 games (Started 67 of those)...I mean he was putting up 21 a night on average over that whole two year run...AND he turned 40 midway through his second season...
Never-mind he had five games where he scored 40+, including one where he scored 51...
He wasn’t Bulls era MJ for sure, but damn if couldn’t still hold it down...

Cool Grey 11s was such a brilliant idea. Wonder the back story by those who came up with it.

You say that with skepticism I’m sure... what exactly did he say about it?

He said that since it was such a basic color that no one was using at the time, they decided with a two tone grey based off the success of the Air max 95 with the faded grey. And in his words it simply worked. Sole Collector interview issue 22. MJ/Tink cover with the Titanium.

I remember reading it when I first got the magazine way back. Had to dig it out to be sure. lol. I dont think he was taking all credit but he def included himself.

Assuming this is a compliment to GH, that’s the first time in my 17 years on this site that I’ve seen him spoken about positively

I sure was not giving a compliment. Just giving info from an interview. The quote "we decided" can go several ways. To some degree I do not believe he deserves all the **** he gets. But on another hand, he sure as hell dont deserve the credit he thinks he should get.Assuming this is a compliment to GH, that’s the first time in my 17 years on this site that I’ve seen him spoken about positively

Well if he is the main guy behind making the CG XI a thing, kudos to him. That’s dope. Even if it was a team
