Legit.

One question though that doesn't correlate with the legit check though. Why are the concord's from 2000 have nike air on the insole and the space jams of the same year have a big jumpman? These were released after the space jams and they have a nike air insole? Doesn't make sense to me.

^ who the hell knows. I would say that it could be because they werent giving the Retro+ releases the NIKE AIR treatment. But the Jams are not a retro+ according to them.
That would have explained why the oreo 4's and columbia 4's that came out in 99 didnt have NA. And why the Laneys and white/silver 5's didnt have NA. And those are clearly retro+, as can bee seen on the box label.

So who knows, They were transitioning at that time, and the shoes were all over the place in that respect.

Back then all "retro +" models had the "Nike Air" emblems replaced with Jumpmans. (i.e. Laney V's, white/silver V's, white/navy IV's, white/chrome IV's, black/grey (oreos) IV's...etc..) The Concords from 2000 were an "original" colorway, so they still featured the Nike Air logos. The Space Jams were technically a "retro +" colorway (meaning it was a new colorway of an older shoe). Sure, they were featured in the movie but they weren't apart of the orginal series of XI's that released that year.

This trend continued until the white/cement III's were retroed in 2003. Since then, all retros (og colorways and newer colorways all featured a Jumpman instead of the Nike Air logo.
