11

Bought them in 2001 the first time Nike re-released them... still have them but the soles have completely peeled off (and yellowed out) and the zoom cushions inside have popped and deflated. I never wore them outdoors. I bought new Jordan's when the 33 Lows came out, instantly got them (white), I kind of like them more than the 11s, especially since the soles will never look like piss.

They got a real early 90’s style to them. You either love it or hate it.

I would feel weird wearing the 4s as an adult, to me the 3s are as versatile as it gets and more acceptable to wear as an adult without looking like a teenager.

3s > All. Only question is white cement or black?

Never bought Jordan's before but based off this pic I like 5 and 11 the most. 5 has that aesthetic red spiky wave at the bottom and 11 has an Orca vibe with that smooth black texture.

I love the #7 shoe = so clean and the logo at the top near the ankle is the perfect touch.

I guess maybe 9, 10 depending on coloring

Anyways they pretty much all suck compared to the hype. It's a shame that these are considered a status symbol and so sought after in black communities.

I agree, all Jordans are overpriced in general and most of them look ugly. I personally wouldn't wear any of them except for the 1s and 3s.

I was doing some research on the 11s because they are usually considered a top 4 Jordan ever and they are actually made out of high quality stuff but still wouldn't wear them as an adult, that shiny patent leather is a deal breaker for me.

The 6 is the GOAT basketball shoe imo. But more importantly everything after 13 is just gross. I have no idea why they make basketball shoes so ugly now. You can barely find normal looking shoes.

1, 6, 7, 11 and 13 are the best.

People only say they like 4s because they're expensive and hot right now. It looks like a Shaq shoe ffs.

The 15 has to be the worst ever but most after 13 are ugly as shit.

Luckily, I won a raffle at Foot Locker, they will save a pair for me for tomorrow.

And watch out for stockx, they are pretty reliable, but have been caught selling fakes before. GOAT is more reliable. I did some research on how to get these shoes and stumbled upon that info.

yeah ive read on stockx being a lil sketch with that.

i have some 4's that are new as well but i bought them in the same size and they run too big, might list them on stockx and get some 4s or 3s. those 2 are my favorite shoes. my brother had some 3's in that black cement color like 18 years ago and i wore them when he wore thm out, still some of the sickets shoes ever, didn't care that you couldn't see the star pattern anymore on the soles :oldlol:


had these in HS too, may get them soon...just hate that i can't try on sizes, they're all over the place...

Are you sure those are 2024s? This version is supposed to have a lighter elephant print and the red on the tip of the tongue is not supposed to be there, like it is in this pic. I'm hearing the 2024 pair is supposed to look closer to the original pair in 1988.

They are basically supposed to look like the vid I posted earlier today.

I agreed with this until the 33’s dropped. Then they had a good run from 33-38, 34/35/36 all really great functional shoes to ball in, and look almost as dope as their OG inspirations (33 was a modern 3, 36 a modern 6, etc). hope the 40’s have some dope models.

3s are usually true to size unlike AF1s in which you can usually go down half a size. I got them in my size and they fit perfectly. Which is puzzling to me how the previous version didn't fit you.

I will say the 2018 3s are much wider than the 2024 version. 2024 is more narrow while the 2018 kinda look like boots, maybe that's why they fit big on you? Idk. I saw lots of people say get the 2024 version in your regular size and that's what I did.

If you held a gun to my head? The 1's, but I largely think high top sneakers look horrible for casual wear. Especially all these men wearing them with suits. That's probably an unpopular take coming from an NBA fan, but that's my problem.

Yeah, 1s and 3s are the only ones I wear, but low top 1s are much better for casual wear compared to high top 1s.

The only high top shoes I own anymore are a pair of Lems Outlander boots for the winter when it gets really cold out. Otherwise it's all low tops for me.
