Since it's initial introduction, 11's have always fought an up hill battle for the publics appreciation. In that interview Gentry did with G-Rock (Owner of the Theshoegame.com), he stated that the publics perception of the 11's when they were doing street research was anything but positive. However today it's the brands higest selling style of all the J's (Gentry's words, not mine). I think right now, everyone's first instinct is to hate it cause it's not an original classic. But as time moves on, and we get better angle shots of the color, texture, and quality (the final product), peoples opinions are gonna swing. Either way, the shoe is destined to be another "Hype Machine" (along with the rumored Laney 11's pack) and sell out instantly. Thus ultimately prompting Nike/JB to try new colors in the future. I been on J's since my first pair in 91, and I for one am happy to see them trying something new. I hate signing into Facebook and Twitter and seeing that picture of MJ & Scottie laughing, with the text reading "These "Beeps" bought the same damn shoe "AGAIN". I just look at it and be like, "wow, they're talking about me". Womp Womp........
