Not from what I have heard.  I've heard numbers will be similar to X Jades last year, but instead of 2 staggered releases, the entire quantity will be at once.  No "limited" release, then another release like Jades.  If that's true should be plenty to go around. 

Actually...this "King of the Jungle" colorway will actually be one of the more limited colorways...like the Jade's last year...

JM

Seriously i felt like the Jades where everywhere or was there two jade colorways?
 
Not trying to start a big crazy side discussion, but is anyone else super sketch about getting major shoe releases offline early? Im gonna wait for these to hit stores and the internet.
yeah, i thought those were fakes. there was someone on here that used to sell tons of jordans before they were released and they were fakes. 

people used to call out the early releases on here as being fake. i don;t know though, because i always wait till RD so it doesn't matter to me.  
 
Solid review DW, thanks for that. Waiting for a specific colorway or for these to pop up on iD and then it might be game over.
 


These guys get everything; I wished they did better reviews..... with a little less sound

The XI's are flat out sexy... Sick shoe, crazy modern look. They look like a halo basketball shoe. These are gonna turn a lot of people into lebron high fanatics as if there wasn't already enough. The X's didn't interest me at all other than the EXT's and some of the higher profile CW's like the Jades and Xmas. I was just never crazy about the shoe. I liked the 9's much better. I like the X lows better than the highs. I buy and rock what I like tho, always will.

They have fake armory slates and red pair out already, they also have an all volt fake XI I honestly thought was a real sample when I first saw the pics. Idk how these replica company's can get the molds and design of the shoe almost perfectly before it even releases. See for yourself:

SMH, wtf man...

I like the slates so much I'm considering buying them early. They're available for $300 which is pretty low considering. I'm sure they will be extremely easy to get considering such a low price for early pairs. After all they are a GR shoe.

So glad to be interested in the highs again, lol. I know I'll catch some **** for hating on the X, But the XI just puts it to shame IMO.

Feeling these a lot

That price hurts my soul though especially knowing that Nike has been raising the price 20 bucks each year
 
These xi's look like zoom rookies 2.0. Flywire is a nice touch on these. These murder the x's.
I do get a slight zoom rookie vibe when looking at these from some angles. I liked the look of the zoom rookie (no so much the pods) and I didn't have the comfort problems everyone else seemed too have. You could feel the stiffness of the mid plate but nothing major. I am glad to hear the lacing has improved over last year.
 
DW can you tell me if the armorposite is like foamposite material?
Doesn't feel and respond like foamposite material in my opinion.  The armorposite pieces are a little "softer" not as thick and "solid" feeling like foamposite material is, if that makes sense.  I always felt foamposite material was very dense, with no much give, the armorposite feels even lighter, and less firm, but maybe it is more the way it's used and placed in "fragments" as opposed to the foamposite we usually see is giant solid pieces.  The armorposite has a different slightly matte finish and texture to it as well.  Overall seems a bit more flexible to me, but extremely light and still quite strong in shaping the shoe.
