I wonder if they'll attach those to Space Jam as well since he only wore them on-court in that movie and not on an NBA floor. Would be cool to tie them together.
The reason why that shoe was worn during the 1995 playoffs was because the NBA fined MJ $5,000 (i think) for not adhering to the team dress code policy. Starting in 1989 all Chicago Bulls players have to wear black shoes everytime they play in the postseason. Jordan wore the test run 11 concords prematurely and when he paid the fine he decided to wear Penny's Air Flight One to avoid another fine which pissed off Nike officials. After that they made him this "Space Jam" colorway so MJ can continue wearing the 11's for the rest of the series.
That, and he was too excited to try them out, considering this would eventually be his favorite shoe! Even Tinker Hatfield warned him not to use the test run/Concord, but MJ being MJ really wanted to play in them so badly! 😅
That white line has been standing out to me for the last several months. It detracts from the clean black upper. On the flip side, it's good to know that it's because of the real leather grain. I just wish the grain was dyed black. Thanks for calling it out by the way, you're the only one I've seen thus far. As far as the name, it's combined. Space Jam is what people have been wanting and identifying with. The other side is the OG fanatics of the game and not so much the movie collaboration.
I love sneaker reviews by people older than me and I'm 27. I love your knowledge and wisdom. I love the stories of where you were when they released. I've watched this review maybe 15+ times beginning to end. I copped today and came back to re-watch yet again.
Great review! Thanks for letting all the young kids know how the OG 11s used to look. When these came out in '95 I was 19 and I remember that these actually sold out in Orlando from size 10 thru 13. Came back a week later to my local FTL and they had plenty of pairs, CRAZY!
Nightwing2303, before MJ came back right before the playoffs they where going to have certain players signed to Nike show off the model and this colorway was going to be worn by Nick Anderson of the Orlando Magic.
maybe they are trying to bridge to different themes and make it one shoe. You get the looney toons reference on the box and they also go with the concord and 45 on the shoe.
They are actually called the BLACK Concords. Look up jumpmanbostic review on them. Also a cool name for the release should of been the Banned 11s. Would’ve been dope
Great Video!! your story telling makes me soo hyped even more lol... my opinion is 1995 Playoff PE... but i'm sure Nike marketing couldn't think of new merchandise to sell with it... but looney tones marketing added since they re-upped their collaboration deal together since the 7 Hare lol
sweet...high cut patent leather is back!! but if they removed the toe guard and went back to the og way of contruction of the shoe we might see a lot of wrinkles in that toe box area tho. the shape of the 2000 retros were that of the originals or very close to them.
yeah, I like the way its cut this time around way more. the midsole has that nice dip towards the back and the patent leather cut is wayyy better. Im diggin this and im gonna call these playoffs lol
First off Nightwing i'm a big fan as we have the same tastes in sneakers. I was raised in the 90s in Philly and have seen ogs in person and have had them also. So Keep doing ya thing homie and I'm fan of your reviews. Now....... i'm tired of all these dumb nicknames for jordans. Does it even matter what they are called? i remember back when i was a kid they were just called the black jordan 11s or clear bottom playoff if i can remember, there was no gimmick nicknames for j's, then when the movie came out everyone was calling them the shoes he wore in spacejam, so that's when the nick name Spacejam was associated with the shoes. So by 2000 / 2001ish if i can remember people officially started calling them space jams. To all the people complaining on what they should be called........ They are simply SpaceJams. Keep up the good work man as always. Peace 👊👍
I got mine a few months back and I cant wait to try them in the hardwood for our summer league. Please make a performance review of these Space Jam 2016.
BTW id consider the OG soles to be a milky blue, not blue tinted. XI game pics from 95 have a milky blue outsole, both the PE XI and the Concord XI do. The only blue tinted sole is the 96 Columbia
Hey Nightwing, Love your videos and insight. Breaking some knowledge for ya, when Jordan retired, they started the Team Jordan,to keep the Jordan brand relevant and selling. That year you notice there where a lot of Jordan 10 PE. So before Jordan rocked these in Space Jam and thus wearing them early in the playoffs, they where going to be Orlando Magic worn by Team Jordan player Nick Anderson.
I would refer to these as Playoff Editions as he wore them in the 95 playoffs and the film wasn't released until November 96, and the shoes had 23 on them in the movie
I'm glad the jumpman is backwards on the left shoe as well it's one of the main things that stopped me from copping the 11's even if they never sold-out
SPACE JAMS FOR LIFE! I've been waiting for these to release again since I now can afford to buy a pair (possibly two c'mon they are toooo clean). Adding the Space Jam movie from my childhood I can't believe them to be anything other than Space Jam 11s. I do appreciate the knowledge of MJ rockin' them in the playoffs as well as a avoidance from the NBA fining him. Either way its great promotion to an all time Air Jordan sneaker!!
One thing i like that jordan brand did was the jumpman back facing the toe. This is a good chance this will happen to future releases for og colorways. But i hope jordan brand doesnt do what they did to this og colorway and turn it to a pe type. Where it wasnt the way it was back in 96 to the public
Those scotty pippen airmax uptempos are classics too alot of people overlook pippens shoes but he had some uconic sneakers. There would be no jordan without pippen
im sorry to say brother Nightwing2303 but u got one thing wrong in ur video jordan wore the shoes wit da 45 on da bak in da 95 playoffs first while wearin a 23 jersey dats wen he switched numbers then he shot da movie space jam wit a revised version of da shoes wit 23 on da back theres pics on da net of him wearin a 45 jersey while wearin da white concords wit 45 stitched on da back then he switched to a 23 jersey n switched to all black concords wit 45 still on da bak u feel me but none da less good vid i enjoy ur commentary i think for them to b truly space jams they should have a 23 on da bak jordan brand b bsing alot n i too agree wit u on da black/white 9s those to me r da space jams too they should make a package wit da 2 but theres 4 different air jordans in da movie da 2s 9s 10s n 11s
i agree bro but im hopin to c a video frm u on da 9s cus ive seen sum pics of da 9s n da jumpman is facin da wrong way on da left shoe n they suppose to b remastered like i said if those pics r of da final product jordan brandin still bsing wit us i really want to cop them but i got a problem wit dat jumpman they did sumthing similar wit da 2s black/red alternate 87 it got da nike brandin on da outside but a jumpman on da inside sole bogus but thank u for replyin to me bro its good to no u reach bak out to us ur viewers i respect dat much luv bro
That reverse Jumpman thing is why I'm passing on the 9's, actually. I'v had them before, and while I love the shoe, I want a true remastered pair. So, until that happens I'll keep my money.
i was thinkin bout gettin them n then contactin nike to complain c if theyll send a me a truly remastered left shoe jus da left one lol false advertisin u no!!!
Y'all know a lot about them 9s and 11s. I never caught all that to know the difference. I'll still get them but it sucks that they're still missing the mark on being truly remastered. I kind of don't mind the 11s but like Nightwing2303 said; they could be more-less considered Playoff PE's.
just based on my understanding of the XI "space jam" colorway its a Player Exclusive from the 1995 playoffs, before Space Jam released or before they had started filming. We even have video on youtube of Ahmad Rashad talking about the Black Patent leather model and how he switched to them from the Concords. The camera shows an up close zoom of the 45 on the back.....my conclusion is that they are PE Playoff Jordan XI's. Not Space Jams. 1. 45 on the back 2. Made by Tinker for him to stop getting fined in the 94-95 playoff series 3. Space Jam colorway is with 23 on the back
Doesn't matter to me what people call them was never into shoes until a buddy of mine showed me his collection but ever since i remember watching Space Jam back in the day I've wanted them even though i didn't know what they were then i remember wanting those shoes 18 years later and i finally have a chance to cop these are a must for me for nostalgic reasons even when i wasn't into sneakers i always told myself if i ever get a pair of Jordans it would be Space Jams
Vice Prez word, I cant hate that but when he hit us with the fact it had 23 in the back for the movie that changed my mind abit lol I think the playoff story is way more dope for this version.
i just bought these, and wow they fit so good. I have a wide foot but my foot just slipped right in. I'm still debating if i should wear these out or not. LOL
i was jus readin sum posts about the blue vs concord jumpman discussion u was havin i read somewhere dat da reason da 2001 space jams had a blue jumpman is bcus on da movie n tv screens concord purple actually looks blue so dats y they released in dat colorway not nick anderson p.e.s
nice breakdown of the story bruh!! that's why you the best youtuber imo plus i can relate to your "I'm just an old guy" statements. Lol This is a young kids game but WE just love these kicks bruh.
NIce review...I noticed that there are peaks on the patent leather...is that common on XIs? Lately there has been a lot of fakes of these going around and all of them have peaks...so...hope urs are authentic.
True. Last year's cops were super easy. I got the 72-10s offline on release day and I never am able to get through. Hopefully it's the same this year. I really hate going through the hassle of resellers and eBay
not hard at all. If nightwing has a pair in october then theyre hella mass produces upwards of over 1.3-1.5 million pairs more than likely as well as constant restocks! Be smart and do what needs o be done!
Big fan in general and thanks for your descriptions. Would like to have a tooling video just to know more. Once again thanks for helping us with the education!!!
Glad they changed the cut on the patent leather - the old 11s have all looked really odd imo. The new "playoffs" edition (because come on that's what they are!) Actually look wearable and smart. Which... is the first time I've ever thought that about the 11s.
man I'm really looking forward to these. I just haven't bought any jordans in a few years it seems like you have to jump through hoops to get them now.
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to these to drop. to address your question, the NBA uniform/ dress code policy until in recent years was, all players on a team needed to wear the same color shoes. so, with the Bulls players wearing black and MJ prematurely debuting the Concords, he was in violation of the policy. Which was kinda funny since MJ was the reason why the Bulls would wear black kicks in the playoffs...and white in the regular season. He's also the reason why the Bulls wore black socks in the playoffs as well. (also the reason why I wear nothing but black no show socks since '96.)
Let's all pray these are as easy to get as the True Blue 3s. Probably not, but since Nike made almost a million pairs, Christmas is coming up, and some people don't like the high patent leather, I hope that's enough people not copping so that I can get a pair.
they should be called the Playoffs because of the 45 on back. the Space Jams are the pair with the 23 on the back. And im glad they whiched the logo back backwards on the left shoe keeping it true to the original pair i had in 96.
Are these as comfortable as the OG XIs? That's what I'm really interested in considering I still rock my OG black n reds more than any of my 2000 retros for this exact reason
Calvin Ma no air Jordan today is as comfortable as they were back in the day. No air Jordan right now is even comfortable! You want comfort? But an adidas model.
To me those will always be space jams. I prefer space jams over playoff Pe either way I think that the hype would be higher if it's named space jams. Space jams has been in my family's heart for the past 20 years since my dad loves basketball and I do to but it'll be in my family even when my grandkids watch movies.
Weird. But I actually want a performance review on the shoe in this version just to break the ice of sneaker channels reviewing the same shoe. Though you have an AJ project vids. would like to have a retro performance review.
ThatFatKidInMe Traction hasn't changed, cushion hasn't changed, materials haven't changed other than real leather over synthetic. Fit is nicer. Support hasn't changed. What would another performance review do that the original doesn't take care of ?
@nightwing2303 I disagree, he was not still retired during the completion of Space Jam. Space Jam was completed after they got knocked out off the playoffs in '95 and before the 1995-1996 season.
I believe filming of the movie was complete prior to his comeback in the league. Otherwise he wouldn't have had the time to train and play while filming.
Nightwing2303 That's when they built so called Jordan dome on the Warner's Bros lot in L.A. So he could train and other NBA players would play pick up/tune up games with him.
it's easy to comprehend.. the way you just explained it, i conclude that they are the "95 playoffs"... the packaging is just paying tribute to the nickname we gave it's #23 counterpart.
I've heard that they just photos hopped the shoes for the movie but idk if that's correct bc I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to make another shoe rather than photoshopping.
Shoelander23 It's possible. I thought it might be that you were supposed to wear predominantly black based shoes, but in 85 it was the opposite where he was fined due to not having white based shoes lol. The NBA and their rules. Could be worse... I hear the NFL is horrible.
This colorway was made originallly for Nick Anderson who at that time played with the Orlando magic. (Jordan was retired at that time)It wasn't made for the movie space jam, how many people think
Never heard that one before. Where is this story published? Nick was wearing the Orlando 10's while MJ wore these in the '95 Playoffs. I believe Nick wore #25 as well. Never saw a #25 version of these.
Awesome review, but how hard do you think it would be to cop these? Really excited to get them, but I don't think it's going to be that easy. What do you think?
Jester Perez for the average buyer if you don't have a connect they will be extremely hard! I call every mall in a 50 to 80 mile radius from where I stay and they all doing raffles. Online is going to be hard as well. Theses shoes are very hyped everyone will try to buy
1st! If you don't care about the story of the shoe then skip to 4:23 for the review.
Im just more interested in those playoff 9's coming out in december!
I wonder if they'll attach those to Space Jam as well since he only wore them on-court in that movie and not on an NBA floor. Would be cool to tie them together.
Nightwing2303 dope review, keep em coming
how did you get these so early?
will you do extra fly??
The reason why that shoe was worn during the 1995 playoffs was because the NBA fined MJ $5,000 (i think) for not adhering to the team dress code policy. Starting in 1989 all Chicago Bulls players have to wear black shoes everytime they play in the postseason. Jordan wore the test run 11 concords prematurely and when he paid the fine he decided to wear Penny's Air Flight One to avoid another fine which pissed off Nike officials. After that they made him this "Space Jam" colorway so MJ can continue wearing the 11's for the rest of the series.
Francis Marasigan III Exactly
Francis Marasigan III good sh$&t
💯
Yes These Hyperbeasts Wouldn’t Understand Shit Because Space Jam Has 23 & Not 45 So I Called Em Black Concord XI
That, and he was too excited to try them out, considering this would eventually be his favorite shoe! Even Tinker Hatfield warned him not to use the test run/Concord, but MJ being MJ really wanted to play in them so badly! 😅
I am glad that they chose to release this iteration because I am always a fan of kicks that were worn in game.
You know the 'tides are changing' when Nightwing clears out a whole shelf just for adidas shoes
That white line has been standing out to me for the last several months. It detracts from the clean black upper. On the flip side, it's good to know that it's because of the real leather grain. I just wish the grain was dyed black. Thanks for calling it out by the way, you're the only one I've seen thus far.
As far as the name, it's combined. Space Jam is what people have been wanting and identifying with. The other side is the OG fanatics of the game and not so much the movie collaboration.
I love sneaker reviews by people older than me and I'm 27. I love your knowledge and wisdom. I love the stories of where you were when they released. I've watched this review maybe 15+ times beginning to end. I copped today and came back to re-watch yet again.

Great review! Thanks for letting all the young kids know how the OG 11s used to look. When these came out in '95 I was 19 and I remember that these actually sold out in Orlando from size 10 thru 13. Came back a week later to my local FTL and they had plenty of pairs, CRAZY!
Will C og concords ?
Killed it man. Bless the comments you're about to receive all over this video though. I can already anticipate it.
I'm ready to ignore the nonsense lol.
You gonna play in them?
Nah, been there. Done that lol.
Raul Dingle lol I will 🏀
Lamont McDaniels Good luck! I used to play in my '00 Space Jams... Broke my foot in them too...
Nightwing2303, before MJ came back right before the playoffs they where going to have certain players signed to Nike show off the model and this colorway was going to be worn by Nick Anderson of the Orlando Magic.
just bought these, always enjoy watching your reviews even the older ones LOL
@@fourss00 how is it buying them now? I want to get them but afraid it’s been too much time haha
maybe they are trying to bridge to different themes and make it one shoe. You get the looney toons reference on the box and they also go with the concord and 45 on the shoe.
They are actually called the BLACK Concords. Look up jumpmanbostic review on them. Also a cool name for the release should of been the Banned 11s. Would’ve been dope
I've always wanted a pair. Here's hoping I'm lucky enough to get a pair this year.
Great Video!! your story telling makes me soo hyped even more lol... my opinion is 1995 Playoff PE... but i'm sure Nike marketing couldn't think of new merchandise to sell with it... but looney tones marketing added since they re-upped their collaboration deal together since the 7 Hare lol
sweet...high cut patent leather is back!!
but if they removed the toe guard and went back to the og way of contruction of the shoe we might see a lot of wrinkles in that toe box area tho.
the shape of the 2000 retros were that of the originals or very close to them.
Not going to lie, I want 2 pairs of these. 1 to rock, 1 to stock.
Mohammad N ayeee I agree
yeah, I like the way its cut this time around way more. the midsole has that nice dip towards the back and the patent leather cut is wayyy better. Im diggin this and im gonna call these playoffs lol
now this is the review i was waiting for. super informative. Another great review from the goat
dude every time.....thank you for making a shoe look 10 times better then the leaked photos I want them even more
Thank god for the Jordan going reverse. But i am confused too wth are these? My concords depress me because of the shape.
i like the "cut" on the patent leather. seeing that white looks cool
Those Pippen uptempo gives me so much memories of high school balling.
Here a 2years after man and thank you for sticking to your story from this years concords
First off Nightwing i'm a big fan as we have the same tastes in sneakers. I was raised in the 90s in Philly and have seen ogs in person and have had them also. So Keep doing ya thing homie and I'm fan of your reviews. Now....... i'm tired of all these dumb nicknames for jordans. Does it even matter what they are called? i remember back when i was a kid they were just called the black jordan 11s or clear bottom playoff if i can remember, there was no gimmick nicknames for j's, then when the movie came out everyone was calling them the shoes he wore in spacejam, so that's when the nick name Spacejam was associated with the shoes. So by 2000 / 2001ish if i can remember people officially started calling them space jams. To all the people complaining on what they should be called........ They are simply SpaceJams. Keep up the good work man as always. Peace 👊👍
I got mine a few months back and I cant wait to try them in the hardwood for our summer league. Please make a performance review of these Space Jam 2016.
BTW id consider the OG soles to be a milky blue, not blue tinted. XI game pics from 95 have a milky blue outsole, both the PE XI and the Concord XI do. The only blue tinted sole is the 96 Columbia
That 45 just bugs the hell out of me. Dope shoe, but i'm passing
Not a fan of the player huh?
The Jordan 11's were the playoffs but no one knew that until the space jam so therefor the shoe was dubbed "The Space Jam."
Love how these are OGs
Hey Nightwing, Love your videos and insight. Breaking some knowledge for ya, when Jordan retired, they started the Team Jordan,to keep the Jordan brand relevant and selling. That year you notice there where a lot of Jordan 10 PE. So before Jordan rocked these in Space Jam and thus wearing them early in the playoffs, they where going to be Orlando Magic worn by Team Jordan player Nick Anderson.
Besides the mismatch of the story of what these represent, the fact that you said the build of these are true to form to the ogs makes me very happy.
I would refer to these as Playoff Editions as he wore them in the 95 playoffs and the film wasn't released until November 96, and the shoes had 23 on them in the movie
I'm glad the jumpman is backwards on the left shoe as well it's one of the main things that stopped me from copping the 11's even if they never sold-out
In my opinion the best jordan release this year are the bred 1s.
No
ArnoldJeremy cement 4s? Flu game 12s?
***** there too GR
ArnoldJeremy flu games are mines & a lot of folks slept on the gym red 12's
yes , i deeply regret not getting them
@NIGHTWING , I'm with you about the jumpman facing the toe that way when you walk it looks like he's jumping forward ! Like he's gonna dunk .
Tbh never seen it being called playoffs just space jam but after this vid I really don't know .... Btw good info
Really would have been 🔥 if it was 23 then 45
I'm with you on the Jumpman...finally facing the right way!
Im getting those 9s that come out later this year
They are super clean
SPACE JAMS FOR LIFE! I've been waiting for these to release again since I now can afford to buy a pair (possibly two c'mon they are toooo clean). Adding the Space Jam movie from my childhood I can't believe them to be anything other than Space Jam 11s.

But i hope jordan brand doesnt do what they did to this og colorway and turn it to a pe type. Where it wasnt the way it was back in 96 to the public
Thanks for making this video and explaining the background of these shoes. I personally take them as Jordan 11 PE's. Can't wait.
Box may seem to confirm it as Space Jams
Those scotty pippen airmax uptempos are classics too alot of people overlook pippens shoes but he had some uconic sneakers. There would be no jordan without pippen
Nike has never got his line right.
So many classics that have seen little or no retro.
went half size down like I have for prior xi's and my God my feet were screaming. gave my toes callouses. So glad i doubled up on these.
All I want are the black cement 3's with Nike tab
iOZKERTV sameeeeee
u got the 2018 pair ?
if they are gonna market it as the space jams I wish they would've kept the 23. It looks sleeker to me
im sorry to say brother Nightwing2303 but u got one thing wrong in ur video jordan wore the shoes wit da 45 on da bak in da 95 playoffs first while wearin a 23 jersey dats wen he switched numbers then he shot da movie space jam wit a revised version of da shoes wit 23 on da back theres pics on da net of him wearin a 45 jersey while wearin da white concords wit 45 stitched on da back then he switched to a 23 jersey n switched to all black concords wit 45 still on da bak u feel me but none da less good vid i enjoy ur commentary i think for them to b truly space jams they should have a 23 on da bak jordan brand b bsing alot n i too agree wit u on da black/white 9s those to me r da space jams too they should make a package wit da 2 but theres 4 different air jordans in da movie da 2s 9s 10s n 11s
If not the package with the 9 and 11, then the 9 this year should have some tie to the movie the same way these are getting it. It's only right lol.
i agree bro but im hopin to c a video frm u on da 9s cus ive seen sum pics of da 9s n da jumpman is facin da wrong way on da left shoe n they suppose to b remastered like i said if those pics r of da final product jordan brandin still bsing wit us i really want to cop them but i got a problem wit dat jumpman they did sumthing similar wit da 2s black/red alternate 87 it got da nike brandin on da outside but a jumpman on da inside sole bogus but thank u for replyin to me bro its good to no u reach bak out to us ur viewers i respect dat much luv bro
That reverse Jumpman thing is why I'm passing on the 9's, actually. I'v had them before, and while I love the shoe, I want a true remastered pair. So, until that happens I'll keep my money.
i was thinkin bout gettin them n then contactin nike to complain c if theyll send a me a truly remastered left shoe jus da left one lol false advertisin u no!!!

Made by Tinker for him to stop getting fined in the 94-95 playoff series 3. Space Jam colorway is with 23 on the back
i feel since theres no royal blue like space jams and no 23 those would be the black concord playoff 11 with space jam packaging.
Doesn't matter to me what people call them was never into shoes until a buddy of mine showed me his collection but ever since i remember watching Space Jam back in the day I've wanted them even though i didn't know what they were then i remember wanting those shoes 18 years later and i finally have a chance to cop these are a must for me for nostalgic reasons even when i wasn't into sneakers i always told myself if i ever get a pair of Jordans it would be Space Jams
Still the space jams bcause the colorway came from the movie but the only difference is the 45 at the back
Vice Prez word, I cant hate that but when he hit us with the fact it had 23 in the back for the movie that changed my mind abit lol I think the playoff story is way more dope for this version.
Wendell Ortiz space jam had a royal blue jumpman
These arent royal blue are they ?
Wendell Ortiz concord bro
can u do a early review on the true blues
I like the retro look more. I do appreciate them doing the shoe justice but they look a bit more bulky.
Don't buy Jordan's anymore but I never had 11's. So deciding on getting these. Thanks for the review bro 👍
i just bought these, and wow they fit so good. I have a wide foot but my foot just slipped right in. I'm still debating if i should wear these out or not. LOL
i was jus readin sum posts about the blue vs concord jumpman discussion u was havin i read somewhere dat da reason da 2001 space jams had a blue jumpman is bcus on da movie n tv screens concord purple actually looks blue so dats y they released in dat colorway not nick anderson p.e.s
That'd make more sense that the shoe being a PE.
nice breakdown of the story bruh!! that's why you the best youtuber imo plus i can relate to your "I'm just an old guy" statements. Lol This is a young kids game but WE just love these kicks bruh.
I read somewhere that the original color of the Space Jams is that color way some how they just looked blue on the movie.
They are the playoff exclusives. The space jams were had royal blue on them. No concord and 23
NIce review...I noticed that there are peaks on the patent leather...is that common on XIs? Lately there has been a lot of fakes of these going around and all of them have peaks...so...hope urs are authentic.
Wonder how hard it'll be to pick these up
True. Last year's cops were super easy. I got the 72-10s offline on release day and I never am able to get through. Hopefully it's the same this year. I really hate going through the hassle of resellers and eBay
not hard at all. If nightwing has a pair in october then theyre hella mass produces upwards of over 1.3-1.5 million pairs more than likely as well as constant restocks! Be smart and do what needs o be done!
HeatQuake it's going to be a huge GR
what does GR mean
Isaac Odeniyi general release
Big fan in general and thanks for your descriptions. Would like to have a tooling video just to know more. Once again thanks for helping us with the education!!!
Hey nightwing! Where did you cop these space jams early?
man to me i think they Pe s cuz of like u said he wore 45 when he came back and wore these . the jordan 9 white and blk are the real space jam.
Aren't they already going with the space jam story, based on the box (big bunny...etc)?
Glad they changed the cut on the patent leather - the old 11s have all looked really odd imo. The new "playoffs" edition (because come on that's what they are!) Actually look wearable and smart. Which... is the first time I've ever thought that about the 11s.
man I'm really looking forward to these. I just haven't bought any jordans in a few years it seems like you have to jump through hoops to get them now.
Nice vid bro CAN THE PURPLE SOLES STILL GET YELLOW?????????? On the space jams
I agree the new cut looks a ton better. However at first glance they almost look fake because of the difference. it's all good though love this shoe!!
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to these to drop. to address your question, the NBA uniform/ dress code policy until in recent years was, all players on a team needed to wear the same color shoes. so, with the Bulls players wearing black and MJ prematurely debuting the Concords, he was in violation of the policy. Which was kinda funny since MJ was the reason why the Bulls would wear black kicks in the playoffs...and white in the regular season. He's also the reason why the Bulls wore black socks in the playoffs as well. (also the reason why I wear nothing but black no show socks since '96.)
Let's all pray these are as easy to get as the True Blue 3s. Probably not, but since Nike made almost a million pairs, Christmas is coming up, and some people don't like the high patent leather, I hope that's enough people not copping so that I can get a pair.
they should be called the Playoffs because of the 45 on back. the Space Jams are the pair with the 23 on the back. And im glad they whiched the logo back backwards on the left shoe keeping it true to the original pair i had in 96.
Where did you get your pair from nightwing?
yeah was waiting for him to reply
Hoy Kim he probably fell asleep
Nightwing do a black toe 2016 review i was hoping u did one and talk about the materials
think im gonna hold out until these and the 16s drop im so amped for the 16s !!!
Are these as comfortable as the OG XIs? That's what I'm really interested in considering I still rock my OG black n reds more than any of my 2000 retros for this exact reason
They felt like the other Retro models from a cushion perspective. Not uncomfortable, but not OG comfortable.
Nightwing2303 gotcha. Damn I was hoping for something closer to the OGs. Like walking on clouds. Appreciate the response!
When they make Jordan's that feel like clouds again then that's when I'll start wearing them again. Until then... #BOOSTisLife
Nightwing2303 a man can dream right? But I'm right there with you. The new V2 yeezys are crazy comfy. Even more so than the original 350s
Calvin Ma no air Jordan today is as comfortable as they were back in the day. No air Jordan right now is even comfortable! You want comfort? But an adidas model.
To me those will always be space jams. I prefer space jams over playoff Pe either way I think that the hype would be higher if it's named space jams. Space jams has been in my family's heart for the past 20 years since my dad loves basketball and I do to but it'll be in my family even when my grandkids watch movies.
What's the music you use? I like it it's very smooth and calming.
Weird. But I actually want a performance review on the shoe in this version just to break the ice of sneaker channels reviewing the same shoe. Though you have an AJ project vids. would like to have a retro performance review.
ThatFatKidInMe Traction hasn't changed, cushion hasn't changed, materials haven't changed other than real leather over synthetic. Fit is nicer. Support hasn't changed. What would another performance review do that the original doesn't take care of ?
they look beautiful! what would the gs version be like and their price? would gs have the same packaging?
@nightwing2303 I disagree, he was not still retired during the completion of Space Jam. Space Jam was completed after they got knocked out off the playoffs in '95 and before the 1995-1996 season.
I believe filming of the movie was complete prior to his comeback in the league. Otherwise he wouldn't have had the time to train and play while filming.
Nightwing2303 That's when they built so called Jordan dome on the Warner's Bros lot in L.A. So he could train and other NBA players would play pick up/tune up games with him.
Oh yeah! I remember that now lol. So long ago.
it's easy to comprehend.. the way you just explained it, i conclude that they are the "95 playoffs"... the packaging is just paying tribute to the nickname we gave it's #23 counterpart.
Merry Christmas and thank you for your videos. Learn from you.
Have two pair on hold. One for the court the other just to wear🔥
Can't wait to get them waiting for December to hit
I've heard that they just photos hopped the shoes for the movie but idk if that's correct bc I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to make another shoe rather than photoshopping.
photoshopped*
I Love ❤️ my Space 🚀 Jam Air Jordan 11's❗️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 mine are still Dead stock. I haven't rocked them yet. I Love ❤️ the Dope Box 📦 and packaging too!!
I have bought these bad boys 4 times since 17’
It’s like that ex you keep falling back to.
Im not the biggest fan of the 11 but these are clean. I think the banned 1s were the most anticipated shoe of the year by far.
From what I thought, the Concord on the bottoms didn't match the Bulls jerseys and hence the 11s weren't allowed by the league.
Shoelander23 It's possible. I thought it might be that you were supposed to wear predominantly black based shoes, but in 85 it was the opposite where he was fined due to not having white based shoes lol. The NBA and their rules. Could be worse... I hear the NFL is horrible.
This colorway was made originallly for Nick Anderson who at that time played with the Orlando magic. (Jordan was retired at that time)It wasn't made for the movie space jam, how many people think
Never heard that one before. Where is this story published? Nick was wearing the Orlando 10's while MJ wore these in the '95 Playoffs. I believe Nick wore #25 as well. Never saw a #25 version of these.
Where the hell did you get that ridiculous story?
Awesome review, but how hard do you think it would be to cop these? Really excited to get them, but I don't think it's going to be that easy. What do you think?
I always love when Nightwing says something that makes Hypebeasts STFU
Just got these in a 13. Don’t know if I wanna sell or keep em 🎬✨💪🏾😯👀
Them peaks though. This is going to be my first jordan 11 with peaks on the shoe.
thank you!! finally. best review out. every other person reviewing these shoes on RUclips don't know shit! this guy's broke it down best. great video!
Good to know the story, very informative Great vid. now my question is how hard is it to cop these? Is it as hard as the yeezys?
Jester Perez for the average buyer if you don't have a connect they will be extremely hard! I call every mall in a 50 to 80 mile radius from where I stay and they all doing raffles. Online is going to be hard as well. Theses shoes are very hyped everyone will try to buy
mikemillionaire81 damn.. well thanks for the info
I cant wait am so exited but am i have to camp for these or nah
Great video. the b role shots were beautiful btw.
Appreciate it
is the comfort any better? great and informative video too!
