I always remember my brother went and tried to buy just the 11s by themselves and footlocker wouldn’t sell them separately. Luckily there was another guy there trying to do the same thing but he wanted the 6s so they put their money together to buy the pack. Good times!
Just got my pair, they were sitting. I like this pair more than the Concord honestly, it has the milky outsole, which I prefer over the icy outsole (icy outsole does not age well), the leather is easier to clean than the mesh.
I know some people want OG releases exactly like they were, but speaking for myself as a collector for over 35 years, having had so many different Jordans, having a pair that feels OG but with elevated materials is exactly what I want. If I got a classic muscle car, I'd want better seats, a updated sound system and a better engine than the original if i could. Why not with shoes. I would have liked black jumpman and white numbers, but these are damn near perfect.
My Jordan 11 grail has always been the DMP 11 because of the replacement of the Concord for the gold. When the 72-10s came out, (which is also one of my top favorites) I fell in love with the leather panels instead of the mesh so these are a perfect blend and I love this rendition. i cant wait for mine to come in the mail.
update: mine came in the mail and they're amazing. no real complaints at all. a nitpick that I noticed was the way they stitched the front and back of the upper together. I remember years ago they updated that technique and made that transition more seamless. I feel like that and the widow peaks on retros are those small details that make them close to originals but at the same time they could of kept the newer techniques and they would be fine. hopefully JB never tries to make a retro with the old Jumpman stitching file with the crack to be more accurate lol
This is the best olace for the most honest and real reviews. If its good or bad you say so. With actual facts and opinions. So glad i found the channel and definitely going to be joining the discord
I definitely been cooling out with my sneaker purchases but these need a double up. Concord 11's my favorite Jordan and I missed out on those last time so these make up for that. Look at the shape!! *Chefs kiss*. I like the added leather instead of mesh. Easier to keep clean
I am so in love with this shoe. They listened and perfected the shoe the way that it should have been done. I literally can’t stop admiring this shoe. I’ve been online shopping every day the past week just to find the perfect fit to rock with them👌🏿🔥🐐👟
i actually like concord after i paid resell for bred, and i cop this one instead of paying resell for concord and with it i ended my collection for good as im getting old and need to save for my future thanks Chris and Jody for past 2-3 years of review, i always took your guys opinion the most and decided to purchase or pass 120 pairs in. 3-4 years going through global pandemic, still remember when i watch u guys in my tiny apartment room when self lockdown time due to covid at 2020 now im not even living in that country anymore good job all✌️
You’re right, these are better than the original DMP; and I personally think they are equal to the original Concords. Such a gorgeous looking sneaker with the leather and gold hits. Really, an elevated look. Definitely 2 pairs for me. ❤️
The people saying these are on the same level as the Concords are on some serious crac! I mean many consider the concords as the greatest 11 of all time. The concords blow these put of the water!
Been waiting for this release for a while. I definitely like this release more than the 2006 pair. Loving the leather upper, the mesh upper was a dirt magnet! I'm hoping to grab a pair of these via the shock drop, or the December 9th release date. Thanks for another dope review from Weartesters!
Being an old fan of this channel. I remember getting into sneakers and watching the 2012 concord 11s performance review with I believe you can fly song in the beginning of the video.
This is the last shoe I'm looking to purchase this year. They look really clean and I've never been able to get a black and white pair of the 11's. Hopefully I get the W on snkrs or FLX 🤞
You’re the best shoe reviewer in the game. Literally the GOAT. Thanks for all the great informative content. The DMP 11’s are one of my favorite AJ’s ever.
I’ve waited well over a decade for something like the DMP 11’s to come back. I sold my 6/11 DMP pack around 2013 when times got tough for me. I was lucky enough to keep the box, and just used it as a display piece until the DMP 6’s came out last year. Now I can finally complete this set again, even though the Gratitude 11’s is not the same as the original pair from 2006.
I did the same. Sold my pack in 2010. Was never going to wear them cause they were a size too big. Buy the time i got in the store my sz was gone but i wasnt walking out empty handed.
That's fucking CRAZY!! I just got these for my birthday and literally opened up my RUclips to see if you guys had done a review on them yet and low and behold, it's the first video that's there when I open RUclips!
Crazy how you brought up the 2s, because I’ve been looking into getting a pair. Took this as the sign to pull the trigger and get them 2s 🔥 n for the question, I think they are hella underrated (ofc imo)
Just hit the shock drop with these. Haven’t wore my 2018 concords in about a year and half but I couldn’t pass these up lol. Still waiting for columbias to come back, never got the legend blue back in 2014
The leather upper is the big reason I like these. Feel comfortable knowing I can wear these and not sweat trying to not mess them up like my mesh concords
I'm lucky enough to have copped the Concords in 2018 - when SNKRS was actually good. These Gratitudes are dope, if I cop - coo, if not - no sweat. I just enjoy taking part in the Shock Drops and seeing the W's, and eating popcorn when people react to the L's. Its always been part of the game kids!
Got my first ever pair of low11s (jams) and the next day i got blessed with a steal offer for these and im truly grateful, really sleek and truly a shoe for any occasion.
My lil bro had the original dmp pack and gave me these cuz he didn't like them (mind you had the jordan on the nylon lacelets)....randomly asked for them back cuz he wanted to wear them with an outfit needless to say I never saw them again 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️....couldn't complain but now looking back
Still love the concords....favorite 11 simple and clean!! Seen some Iverson clips the other day from georgetown rocking these n they looked amazing..forgot how nice they looked
I like Chris and been watching his videos now for the past 3 to 4 years. I respect your take but honestly these may be a good pair of Js but without the mesh is just doesn't hit the old school vibes. I wont be goin for em so hopefully someone can cop em. I will say Ive purchased multiple T's from Since Ap and I hope you guys have more coming soon! I wish you wouldve had some Ts for the Cherry 12s!
Def still a cop but would have preferred closer to the '06 pair. I prefer the mesh over leather on XIs personally and would have been nice to get a gold hangtag as well. Not sure i am a fan of other slight tweaks from the '06 pair but still a very clean colorway on one of my all time favorite Jordan models. I do wonder with leather instead of mesh if its a sneaky cost saving exercise from JB. Believe the did it to the Neapolitans XIs recently as well. Some high end meshes could be quite expensive ; do wonder if it looks like a premium swap but could be actually saving them money.
Yes I was wondering if choosing leather or mesh was an economic tactic, either way, I still prefer the leather uppers over the mesh because it sorta gives that high quality look and will still look good after years of use while the mesh tends to yellow a bit and also stains easier. Other than that, the only thing I can nit pick as well would be like you said no gold hang tag plus I wish there was somewhat shoe trees like how they did the space jams(not really necessary but why not), and maybe some extra black + gold laces…I mean after all, they’re at a retail price of $230 + tax!! Overall tho, very pleased by this shoe and was luckily able to hit for retail today on Snkrs shock drop!!
@WearTesters I love the channel and your perspective on kicks. I like some of the more in depth details from you and your spouse in your recent uploads. However, as an OG I dont like these. No ballistic mesh and the outsole has that dull look. It needs to be icy! I love 11s and I think they messed up on these.
I love Concords, they’re my favorite 11 but it’s a pain in the ass to keep them clean, so even though mine don’t look that bad I prefer these a lot more and they even look more luxurious and finally I can get the DMP without being a pack properly
Still have my DMPS pack from 2008&2009. I was living in Colorado springs and working in the mall. Footlocker was a few stores down. I went to get a pair and they told me they weren't selling because people said the box was to big smh. So they let me get 4 super cheap 🙏🔥
@@_Crunch you have to be a Nike member. Every now and then members receive exclusive access to purchase products before public release. It’s a small window of opportunity and usually limited quantities, so you could still miss out, especially if it’s a highly anticipated release.
I’ve watched this I don’t know how many times and this was the first time I put together how Chris said they were made for pulling out so you could grab the right sized skin that isnt being worn by anything…yet
I keep on coming to this review when i hear a lot of noise about these kicks since they've been released. Thank as always for a honest review. Merry Christmas to you guys and bless you more for this show.
I like the 2006 DMPs a bit more than these Gratitudes. But as a very similar / tribute act to the DMP XIs we aren't getting a full on DMP XI retro anytime soon , likely a very long time tbh. So can't pass these up. Despite a few variations still a very similar colorway to the 2006 DMP XI's , so have to grab these. I do hope in 2024 the holiday XI is a retro of a previous XI colorway we've seen before very close to its original form. Space Jams, Gammas , Columbias even Pantones (though the first 3 i named would be my top choices). Might be way too much to ask or expect but perhaps Columbias earlier in '24 and then Space Jams or Gammas as the holiday XI would be amazing. But i'd be content with just one of those colorways in 2024.
@@brewcityalien true , did see the rumors and mock ups for the Space Jam lows in recent weeks. Wasn't sure if confirmed or still rumors but yes thats a no go for the highs. But still i stand by my point ; i want a super clean XI release we've seen before close to its original form for the holiday '24 XIs. Space Jams tend to be in that 7-9 year cycle and we are in that but yes forgot about the lows. But Columbias, Gammas and Pantones would also be fantastic and were my other choices i listed and all in that 8-10 years since their last retro category as well. Don't want another Jubilee or Cherry type holiday 11 in '24. And though i like the Gratitudes and probably going for them would have preferred closer to the '06 DMP XIs. Hopefully '24 holiday XI is an iconic colorway retroing again very close to its original form , like the Cool Greys we got in was it 2021.
Bought mine out of total impulse on Saturday 7am..haha. just got them today, i don't even want to wear them (for as long as i can) but these will complete my DMP and GMP packs.. as long as these are considered Golden moments ✨️ then im happy ❤
I wore my 2018 Concords shortly after I got them to a company picnic and the dust from the red soil stained them. Looking forward to getting these and keeping them clean.
I wore these for the past few days. Can confirm that oob these are a pinky toe killer. I ended up stuffing the shoes with shoe trees + extra rag at the pinky toe area and applied heat with a hair dryer to stretch out the leather. The pinky toe pain had since gone away. Also, the patent leather do creases after a few steps. I've learned to just embrace the material. Because of all leather construction, I have been wearing these mainly in the rain. So far, so good.
I can't freaking wait to get these! I really hope it is possible because omg these are beautiful. I don't know which one I like more. The Concord or these. But I would almost say these, to be honest, but not sure.
When I seen the white leather instead of mesh I had to get em. Missed out on the OGs 95’ had the white SEs when they re-released and the reverse tuxedos. These will be my 1st pair of the original cut of the shoe.
Once again, as always, another excellent overall video review. Thank you and, as always, very much appreciated. I have been on the fence about this model but, seriously like the leather upper on them thus, I will HOPEFULLY pick up one pair maybe two. With this retro, with the already slightly yellow or cream tinted soles, I won't have to be so OCD about the soles yellowing. But, to all the fans of this retro, good luck on obtaining a pair and hopefully at retail. Would be interesting if Jordan Brand released an Air Jordan XI 11 in the original playoff colorway with a black leather upper. I would definitely be in for that. Wouldn't have mind if they released the Air Jordan XI 11 "Cap and Gown" with a black leather upper.
Update. Through some holiday time of the year miracle, I was actually fortunate enough to be able to purchase a pair from today's Nike SNKRS "shock drop".
It’s definitely a cop for me, even though it’s 235€ I know it’s not the Concord, the reason why I prefer this one here because the Concord Turn yellowish and the DMP you can clean better.
These are my favourite 11's above all. The leather and the gold hits just make it that much more premium for me. I coud give a damn if they're not OG, i still like them better than the OG Concords.
Actually, the Columbias always featured a leather upper with mesh eyelets 🤓
Oh yeah, thank you!
I need those in my life holla at me lol
Beat me to it
i remember i bought a pair, week later my crib catches on fire and they turned basically yellow 😭 they were never the same
I’ve been waiting on this review for a while. Weartesters are the only two reviewers who I trust on every sneaker release. You guys are real ones
@@DaveyjdigitalFacts. Jaydasneakerguy has some of the best on foot reviews.
@@DaveyjdigitalIs it really hard to visualize a foot in a shoe silhouette youve seen 1000s of times? Even if its a new model? Is it that hard?
@@Daveyjdigital what about Seth Fowler or Elliot Page
@@imMATTure Not everyone has seen it 1000s of times. 😂
I like to hear them talk about shoes and the stories behind them but they have far been surpassed as reviewers

Dang and they wore the same size?
Wow what are the chances lol. Lucky lucky them. 😊
BRUH…! I’ve said it before: Your wife is on top of her editing game! Always on point with the timing & everything 👏 👏 👏

Really crossing my fingers for a W on these!
My first 11’s hopefully 🙏🏼
Same!! Hope you will get a pair mate.
Will come back here after (allegedly) 9dec, to check if we both can rock our first pair of 11’s 🤞
You’ll get em , they make around 2 million pair every December . Just gotta put the footwork in
When ?
@@cduenas2008 release date , they make so many cause it’s Christmas
Same here
Never owned 11 highs. I would like these in my collection. 🔥
Whoever sleeps on these because you already got the concords is gonna regret it! This shoe is fire 🔥 I already got my pair. Ima double for sure
Call me a broke boy, but paying $250 after tax when your concords are near ds is crazy

That box is a super nice ode to the original DMP box. Had the pull out hole so you could choose either the 11's or the 6''s.
I can't freaking wait to get these! I really hope it is possible because omg these are beautiful. I don't know which one I like more. The Concord or these. But I would almost say these, to be honest, but not sure.
These for me! Can wear em with damn near anything. That blue outsole throws it off for me. But I'm just not a fan of blue in general.
When I seen the white leather instead of mesh I had to get em. Missed out on the OGs 95’ had the white SEs when they re-released and the reverse tuxedos. These will be my 1st pair of the original cut of the shoe.
I still have my pair from 2006 so definitely need a upgrade plus I like the fact the tongue isn’t mesh it’s leather
It's just like the 72-10s which I love....Leather us the way to go
BEST SNEAKER VIDS ON RUclips HANDS DOWN 💪🏾
Concords above all which is why i'm passing on these because my 2018 concords still look brand new
Got Concords damn near DS that being said. The quality and look on these has me seeking the double up 😂😂🔥🔥
Concord above all but those are sick!!! Hopefully I get lucky and I can get em... Another Great video 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
$230 retail (without tax/shipping) is getting to the point where I consider a new hobby
Got them on SNKRS. Finally a high profile drop I got to hit on. I was on the edge because I got the craft 4s but I’m glad I hit.
Copped on the shock drop but sheeesh $230. Oh well, happy to hit can’t wait til they come in.
I got the DMP 6's that came out a couple years ago, hoping to get my hands on these too. 🤞
Thanks to this video I'm definitely going for these
Once again, as always, another excellent overall video review. Thank you and, as always, very much appreciated. I have been on the fence about this model but, seriously like the leather upper on them thus, I will HOPEFULLY pick up one pair maybe two. With this retro, with the already slightly yellow or cream tinted soles, I won't have to be so OCD about the soles yellowing. But, to all the fans of this retro, good luck on obtaining a pair and hopefully at retail. Would be interesting if Jordan Brand released an Air Jordan XI 11 in the original playoff colorway with a black leather upper. I would definitely be in for that. Wouldn't have mind if they released the Air Jordan XI 11 "Cap and Gown" with a black leather upper.
Update. Through some holiday time of the year miracle, I was actually fortunate enough to be able to purchase a pair from today's Nike SNKRS "shock drop".
Ayeeee Great Review and Happy Holidays to you and the family 🙌🏽
I need them they're so beautiful, but I am noas 11s are one of my favorite silhouettes, and yall just knocked these up a notch in my book!😊😂
Oh- I didn’t like the XI until the BReds came out; then it was love ❤️
It’s definitely a cop for me, even though it’s 235€ I know it’s not the Concord, the reason why I prefer this one here because the Concord Turn yellowish and the DMP you can clean better.
Concords in the summer
Gratitudes in the winter
Just order a pair these Like the dmp
At first I didn’t want them but now that i seen them in person cuz my cousin got a pair for Christmas I want em
They just arrived today and are better than I expected!
Double up approved
These are my favourite 11's above all. The leather and the gold hits just make it that much more premium for me. I coud give a damn if they're not OG, i still like them better than the OG Concords.
