Honestly both are dope, but personally I would go with the '09s just because I like more of a sleeker look. Whereas the '16s just seem boxier. I'd pay a little more for the '09s for the minimal look on the patent.
I love the higher cut of the patent leather as well! Glad I'm not the only one lol I'd definitely choose the 2016. It just looks like a more substantial shoe and looks like it would last a lot longer. Since I plan on wearing them A LOT, I'm glad they look durable.
Years ago I noticed how OG heads would talk about how the retro 11s have a weird shoe shape compared to the OG version. Comparing the two, I concur. The '09 pair has this odd banana shape to it and the low patent leather cut looks funny to me now. Only thing I wish the '16 pair had is the shade of blue the '09 jumpman has. Other than that, I believe the '16 pair is better. No hype, just personal opinion.
I appreciate your feedback. Yes I love the higher cut patent leather I think it looks good. As for the Blue, I don't dislike it and I see a lot of people love it.
Shawn Z Me too bro!!!! The 16s are killing the 09s by far.... and you can see that 16s are built to last opposed to the 09s that obviously deteriorate fast 💨 ijs
It would've also been PERFECT if they combined the elements from both shoes 2009: 23 on the back heel (but stitched instead of printed, and black outlining on the patent leather with no peaks 2016: High patent leather, blue tinted outsole, and Nike air branding on the insole I guess that equals the 2000 space jam 11s lol
The Higher patented leather cut is so Nice , especially when looking down on the birds eye view. I use to own a pair in 96' in high school and I'm glad they look legit to the true form. All these lil gits that haven't even seen a whole regular season of Jordan playing, got them use to these retros shapes but I like keeping the integrity of the original shape and quality because that leather isn't just higher but it's a Better, thicker quality if you do your research or just have good vision to see that. Blue tint on the sole is so much better than colorless. These are Fresh to Def ,just don't buy them if you don't like them. More for us true OG's that know why these sneakers mean something to us, other than hype beast type mentality out there.
Dope review fam. Personally I passed on the 16's. Dope shoe but OG or not , that Patent leather is too high for me. I like the lower cut better and the "23" better but that's me. I will say I like how the "45" is stitched in tho. That part is dope. But either way, dope and classic shoe
2016s would've been perfect except they should have 23 instead of 45. I know when MJ first came out of retirement he switched to #45 for a bit, but 23 is synonymous with him.
to me the 2016 pair looks more classic. if you notice in the 90's when Jordan 11's was released with the patented leather was always higher than newer release jordan 11's these days. I really wish I can get my hands on the 2016 space jams. too dope
Definitely with u on both are dope & I'm leaning more towards the 2016.They have more meaning in a sense being closer to the OG & the 20th anniversary of the movie plus can't forget to add how ill the box is for the 2016.Something special right there.
09 is still the best imo. back in the day if your shoes have features like high cut on leather, snout toe box, widows peaks and boxy carbon fiber they would call your pair a FAKE. lol..now JB is feeding us with this. for me i'm used to the 09 shape and its features. them 16's just look weird to me. they still look like oversize GS. will just have to pass. will just get the my kids their pair. Great vid man as always.
That is very true..I remember those days...Those were ways to spot fakes out. They are a bit bulky, I do admit that. I don't mind it, but something I noticed. Appreciate the compliment.
Best comparison vid I've seen of these yet! It's safe to say I might be one of the most excited for these shoes to come out lol I've watched almost every vid that has them in it lol
To me is the little details that makes the difference between both shoes. I can't choose between this Two, school is up again!! Thanks for the class. keep up the good work Brian
Wade Roby I got a call back from Footlocker so I won them, and it's tough to tell.. I think if you're prepared and early you should be able to get them
Yea bro I have both pairs and I’m 10.5 in 2016 pair and the 2009 pair they fit a little too tight compared to the ‘16 pair.. I don’t even wear the 09 pair anymore
Copping the '16, but the '09 are still better IMO. I went through a crazy ordeal involving me (a white guy sticking up for racial discrimination from mall security) , having to change outfits, take out my contacts and put on my glasses, so I could hop back in line and not be seen by police (who had been called by the racist mall security guard) Long story of why, but I ended coppin the last pair in my size. So not only are these sentimental, I truly like my '09 pair better in the looks department, too. Like I said, I will get the '16 pair to collect as well!!!!
I respect that. Damn you have a full story behind it. I am happy to hear that you stuck up for what's right. You deserved to get a pair that day for sure.
Great video as usual appreciate it Bro. Different to see a space jam comparison video. Definitely stood out. I gotta say the 2016 looks a little better because the concord and the higher patent leather. Personally I like the blue sole cuz I know it will last longer without yellowing anyway much respect salute 👊🏽
Both have their great features and positives. Don't really see negatives unless referring to the '23' and '45' I guess preference. I managed to get the 2016 pair and would have given up if I had failed cuz when all those unauthorized and grey market pair of space jams with icy soles came out I knew once they yellowed they would be quite difficult to tell apart. Anyway getting off subject great vid.
SneakerFiles.com would you say at this point that it's pointless for one to try to get the 2009 pair. Some believe that the 2009 pair is now so old and will fall apart. Thoughts? 🤔
*For me I love the OG more. But this is one of the 3 in my opinion is a must have for the year. If I had only known that ppl keeps their old Jordan's I would have some OGs to compare myself. We in Trinidad beat the hell out them and throw them away. Dope review bro. I'm getting 2 pairs. And my reason for the OG is that's what I wore back in the day. Save out money for months before and after they release to cop them. My mother and family asking if I'm mad to wear such an expensive shoe. And yea in Trinidad you will get robbed or killed in certain places. This shoe back then was $2500. Now it's $3800. And they don't stay on shelves for long. Just like me some sneakerheads gets the call as a new shipment is about to land. We had this shoe close to a week now. Bro you keep making those dope real reviews. 👍🏽👊🏽🇹🇹*
Great video I'm liking the 2016 better that high patent leather look dope even tho I know a lot of people going to get away with fakes you can't go wrong with close to OG
Cant complain with JB. Quality has gotten slightly better than the 2011-15 years, and they have been coming through with true to og Jordans. Excited to get this pair this time around but those 09 11s were too clean!
How come there isnt significant darker yellowing around the outline of the pads on the soles of this 2009 pair? The yellowing shade is quite even on the whole sole but i was told if there isnt darker yellowing around the paids of the outline they’re a fake pair?
I love the space jams I just need help deciding. I like them but I also like the new SF Air Force 1 triple white that come out tomorrow. I have enough for one I just don't know which one to get
I like the higher patent leather cut coz more materials = more value to our money.lol. And that's what retro is all about, being close to the original shoe. I like the 2016 better. I might sell my Ultra boost 3.0 triple white to buy a deadstock of this. Do you think $280 with taxes is justifiable price for this? thanks
Team 2016, I mean, the 09s have been a fan favorite and the pair i grew up liking, but due to the fact that everything is going back to OG, Jordan brand got me, hook line and sinker
Dope video!!! 👍 Only complaint is the fact you keep copping out by not choosing which one you prefer. My opinion, the 96' PE 11s (cause that's what they were) obliterates those inaccurate 2009 joints in every way.
I entered 11 times for the space jams in a 10.5 do you think I have a good chance of getting a pair. And if I don't get them should I be able to get them online easily?
these are nice but not perfect (lately with Jordan releases)...LIKE: the concord color way, icy blue, embroidered #, inside sole, and box...DISLIKE: high patent leather, 45 (he had 23 in movie)...with that said were can i find a tune squad jersey?
I just call the 2016 versions, the Black Concords. I wonder how is the sizing and padding on the ankle collar and tongue on them? Do they fit like the recent retro 11s or what?
SneakerFiles.com The Concord and the Varsity Royal, proves they are different. And when he wore them. He wore one in an actual series and wore one in the movie.
EmperorJBO I probably wouldn't go half size up..from what I heard, some have gone half size down. You are right about that, but in the movie it looks like Concord..
copped 2 pairs of the 2016 for retail. if I wanted to get a DS 2009 space jam I would have to pay more than what I paid for BOTH 2016 pairs, and after seeing this vid I don't care for the 09 pair anymore. Anyone else not really feeling the 09?
The bred 11s coming out are supposed to go back to the original patent leather design! 🔥 This new shit is cut too high and reminds me of the shoes brett Hart use to wear!😂
I got the 2016 release from Nike on the day of the release. Once I got them I really dislike the high patent leather. I have the bred 11s, the lower leather when it creases it doesn't look bad. Once the high patent leather creases on the 16 pair it'll look really bad because it'll be long. I'm going to sell them..
O9s are nice but the soles always throw me off I personally love the 16 s with the concord and purple soles. And I never got a chance to own a pair of 00s so it's nice to get a retro for them
I wish you could combine the 2.. I like everything on the 16 from the Nike inside to the higher patten to the blue icy bottom, but I wish it had the varsity blue logos and the varsity blue logo on the bottom vs the white logo on the bottom of the 16.
09's are better for me. I don't like that high patent leather. I bought them because this is my second Jordan shoe with some actual blue and white color contrast. The high patent leather is not attractive compared to the 09 regardless of how true to the original release may be. But as you said SF, its nothing too off to complain. Or maybe its the fact that I'm not too into 11's and the fact that I'm used to seeing the low patent leather for so long.
I 100% respect. We are use to seeing the lower patent leather through the years...most have got used to it. Wonder how the patent leather will be in the future.
Ridiculous. Reading the comments is torture. 09s have better quality? 09s and 00s are similar quality? Wtf?!? Dummies. The 2016 are as close to the OG as you're gonna get. The concord jumpman, the higher THICKER patent leather cut. He wore "45" when he came back, the jams he wore had "45" on the heel. I swear these kids know nothing and just make shit up.
dope comparison👍I don't know like you sed their both dope but I do know something both retros are missing an that is the jumpman jam on the tongue like my 2000 pair instead of jumpman Jordan an to be honest I really don't consider the 2016 pair spacejams because of the 45 these are MJs PEs from the 1995-96 playoffs vs.the 23 which are the spacejams.
Thank you! Yea you're right they are missing that. really a big difference. I didn't mention that in this video because I said it in my unboxing..probably should have though.
The 2016 pair looks fake tbh I was never a fan of the og design of jordan 11s because it made the shoe look bulky. Now after seeing this I can honestly say I like the 2009 wayy better
wow there is a big difference between those 2 lol damn I got the 09 pair can't wait to get the 2016 but I like the 2016 more it looks so dope good video bro
the official name for the 2016 "space jam" is "monstar mash". so technically the aren't the same shoe. jordan brand is calling the 9s the space jam 9. I definitely love both shoes but would chose the 2016 pair
I really did not like the 2009 version when I first saw it I was like what is this? And I almost went down to flight club and have them give me the 2000 release. This is my favorite Jordan of all time and I take this very seriously when it comes to the Space Jams. I personally never had the 2000 version back in the day and that upset at me back then but since I have a chance to get them now my pair is in my closet right now the 2016 version. And I love the sneakers.
Honestly both are dope, but personally I would go with the '09s just because I like more of a sleeker look. Whereas the '16s just seem boxier. I'd pay a little more for the '09s for the minimal look on the patent.
Ok now the '09s look weird compared to the new Ones
09s are older now, and yellowed out.
LOL
I love the purple tint on the outsole
Yea I love it also.
That peak on the 2016 is WILD lol. Thing almost look like they wing-tips with that thing lol. They still cold though. Still need 'em.
Omar najeeb it's supposed to mock the oh pair which had peaks
The 2016's destroy the 09's. The people complaining don't remember the greatness of the OG's and the patent cut, etc.
Charles O. same ppl who dnt like da rec tongue on da 3's
Charles O. I agree
Charles O. love the 2016 just wish it jam on the tongue like the OG
Charles O. They do bro it's just that it looks ugly
So fucking true.
I love the 2009 patent leather cuts compared to the 2016, but I like the purple hints on the 2016 more than the blue
I respect that. Seems like a lot don't like the high cut patent and peaks. Sorry for the late reply. trying to catch up.
I love the higher cut of the patent leather as well! Glad I'm not the only one lol I'd definitely choose the 2016. It just looks like a more substantial shoe and looks like it would last a lot longer. Since I plan on wearing them A LOT, I'm glad they look durable.
king_ryan_james you should check out my new sneaker review and show some support it will mean a lot thanks!!
Seems like we think alike! Others I saw are embracing the higher cut patent as well.
2016s all day! Got some og bred 11s need to check how high cut patent leather is on them...
Did you get them and do a comparison?
Years ago I noticed how OG heads would talk about how the retro 11s have a weird shoe shape compared to the OG version. Comparing the two, I concur. The '09 pair has this odd banana shape to it and the low patent leather cut looks funny to me now. Only thing I wish the '16 pair had is the shade of blue the '09 jumpman has.

I appreciate your feedback. Yes I love the higher cut patent leather I think it looks good. As for the Blue, I don't dislike it and I see a lot of people love it.
I like the 2016 more and I also like the higher cut patent leather 🔥🔥🔥👍👍
Shawn Z
Me too bro!!!! The 16s are killing the 09s by far.... and you can see that 16s are built to last opposed to the 09s that obviously deteriorate fast 💨 ijs
the stitching on the sides are ass imo, can see white
Joseph Harding its supposed to be white
Dope!
Ehhhh
It would've also been PERFECT if they combined the elements from both shoes 2009: 23 on the back heel (but stitched instead of printed, and black outlining on the patent leather with no peaks 2016: High patent leather, blue tinted outsole, and Nike air branding on the insole I guess that equals the 2000 space jam 11s lol
the 72-10 js look like the 09 space james.just glitter in certain lightings and a red jumpman.i like the 16 more than the 09's
To me, the 72-10 was like a mix of the Space Jam and Bred lol.
The Higher patented leather cut is so Nice , especially when looking down on the birds eye view. I use to own a pair in 96' in high school and I'm glad they look legit to the true form.

Respect man! Were you able to get a pair?
Well said!

Appreciate it! We all have our own opinions and I respect yours on passing.
100% agree the 09’s are were it’s at
Exactly. That high cut patent leather is BS. It's not necessary, don't care if it's OG or not.
2016s would've been perfect except they should have 23 instead of 45. I know when MJ first came out of retirement he switched to #45 for a bit, but 23 is synonymous with him.
i like the new one because of the og molding. If only they did it to the cement 4s that came out in February
Yea they need to do the OG mold on other releases like the 3s.
to me the 2016 pair looks more classic. if you notice in the 90's when Jordan 11's was released with the patented leather was always higher than newer release jordan 11's these days. I really wish I can get my hands on the 2016 space jams. too dope
Very good point and you are right. Were you able to get a pair?
So glad they made this OG version
I am also!
I got the 2009 edition they still looking good and I bought two more pair they are used but in good condition
Definitely the 2016 pair.love the blue icy bottoms!!!!😍😍😍
Yea I like it also.
The 2009 pair is the actual "space jam" pair the 2016 pair is a remake of the 11 he wore back in 96
Truest comment on here man
*95
@@toptier6132 nope 96, 95 was the concord color way , 96 was all the others
ALL FACTS he wore the 2009s in the movie
The 09’s are the ones he wore in the movie
Definitely with u on both are dope & I'm leaning more towards the 2016.They have more meaning in a sense being closer to the OG & the 20th anniversary of the movie plus can't forget to add how ill the box is for the 2016.Something special right there.
Yea I think I have slightly leaned towards the 2016 because of what it truly represents. Either way, I do love them both.
Camping out for these tonight! I don't just want them for the looks, Space Jam was one of my favorite movies when I was young.
Nice! Were you able to get them?
Great review.. I am thinking 2016 looks better than 2009..
Thank you! I appreciate that
2016 I love that og cut tha og's shape Michael Jordan wore tha og's that why I love them
Lamont McDaniels yall aint like da og 3's tho. the og red tongue. lol
Exactly and that's why I love the 2016
Nice comparison video. Very detailed. I entered the raffles today. Hopefully I will cop a pair this week. I heard they run tts
Thank you! Sorry for the late reply but I am happy you were able to get them.
both are dope legendary shoes
True...can't go wrong with both.
I own both versions, I prefer the lower patent cut of the 2009, makes the shoe sleeker and less bulky but the quality on the 2016 is better
I respect that. Yea quality is better on the 2016..from what i remember.
09 is still the best imo. back in the day if your shoes have features like high cut on leather, snout toe box, widows peaks and boxy carbon fiber they would call your pair a FAKE. lol..now JB is feeding us with this. for me i'm used to the 09 shape and its features. them 16's just look weird to me. they still look like oversize GS. will just have to pass. will just get the my kids their pair.

SneakerFiles.com yep! I got two
king_ryan_james Dope!!!!! Congrats
To me is the little details that makes the difference between both shoes. I can't choose between this Two, school is up again!! Thanks for the class. keep up the good work Brian
Thank you Victor! To be honest, they are both unique in there own ways. I love them both.
I personally hate the low patent leather, the 23, and the varsity royal. Hopefully I Win the raffle for these beautiful OG's!
you will get em
chickenwityamz Hopefully although my footlocker was on the 11th raffle page lol
i like the 23, cause in the movie (space jam) the shoe mj wore actually have 23 on the back. the rest i can agree on :)
Fatal Foams did ya? and I didn't get in the raffle but ik going to finish line instead of footlocker you think I'll be able to cop?
Wade Roby I got a call back from Footlocker so I won them, and it's tough to tell.. I think if you're prepared and early you should be able to get them
I say the Jumpman facing the correct way is a big factor. Makes it more "OG" when they do that.
Yea I agree..not sure why they didn't do that on the past few releases.
I'm in love with the 2016 pair😍
Nice! Were you able to get them?
SneakerFiles.com Yeah me and my brother
Kaysia Bennett Congrats to you both!
Another dope review keep it up 🙏🏿
Thank you!!!
Hey man, do the 2009 pair fit more tight/snug than the new 2016 pairs? Please let me know thanks!
To be honest I can't remember...I will try and find out though
Yea bro I have both pairs and I’m 10.5 in 2016 pair and the 2009 pair they fit a little too tight compared to the ‘16 pair.. I don’t even wear the 09 pair anymore
45 on the the back throws me off, if not coz of that i would choose 016 hands down, i dont mind the patent leather i prefer it og look
I respect that. Some people don't like the 45. I do get why.
Copping the '16, but the '09 are still better IMO. I went through a crazy ordeal involving me (a white guy sticking up for racial discrimination from mall security) , having to change outfits, take out my contacts and put on my glasses, so I could hop back in line and not be seen by police (who had been called by the racist mall security guard) Long story of why, but I ended coppin the last pair in my size. So not only are these sentimental, I truly like my '09 pair better in the looks department, too. Like I said, I will get the '16 pair to collect as well!!!!
Blake Williams lol
I respect that. Damn you have a full story behind it. I am happy to hear that you stuck up for what's right. You deserved to get a pair that day for sure.
The 09's can't mess with the 2016 pair the 2016 looks like the og's I remember when I had the 11's in the 90's they just look better
have to agree with you. OG is always better IMO
Great video as usual appreciate it Bro. Different to see a space jam comparison video. Definitely stood out. I gotta say the 2016 looks a little better because the concord and the higher patent leather. Personally I like the blue sole cuz I know it will last longer without yellowing anyway much respect salute 👊🏽
Thank you as always!!!! Yea the 2016 will last longer for sure and won't yellow as fast..were you able to get them?
SneakerFiles.com yeah bro I doubled up 😁
A Dunn Dope man! Congrats!!!
had both 09 were alright but the 16 is wayyyyy nicer
agreed! I am a fan of the 16
Both have their great features and positives. Don't really see negatives unless referring to the '23' and '45' I guess preference. I managed to get the 2016 pair and would have given up if I had failed cuz when all those unauthorized and grey market pair of space jams with icy soles came out I knew once they yellowed they would be quite difficult to tell apart. Anyway getting off subject great vid.
I agree, I don't really see any negatives between the two. Both are unique and to me, are different models.
SneakerFiles.com would you say at this point that it's pointless for one to try to get the 2009 pair. Some believe that the 2009 pair is now so old and will fall apart. Thoughts? 🤔
*For me I love the OG more. But this is one of the 3 in my opinion is a must have for the year. If I had only known that ppl keeps their old Jordan's I would have some OGs to compare myself.

Man much respect to you! Always appreciate your insightful comments. Make sure you stay safe out there. Shoes aren't worth getting hurt over.
SneakerFiles.com you're most welcome. And most definitely. And please don't forget what I asked if you can do on IG. 👊🏽🇹🇹
MO GAINS I got you on that! Don't worry. Appreciate it as always.
Great video I'm liking the 2016 better that high patent leather look dope even tho I know a lot of people going to get away with fakes you can't go wrong with close to OG
Thank you! I am glad you like the look. I have a fake pair on hand, and they are pretty close but will be able to tell the difference.
Cant complain with JB. Quality has gotten slightly better than the 2011-15 years, and they have been coming through with true to og Jordans. Excited to get this pair this time around but those 09 11s were too clean!
I agree when it comes to the 11s. Were you able to get them?
SneakerFiles.com Yes sir! Thx for the reviews man. sneakerfiles.com
chickenwityamz No problem! I am happy to hear you got them.
Didn't even notice how much you blew up until you said it. Congrats on the almost 40k!
Thank you! It's been almost a year since I have returned...enjoying every day.
excellent visualz and comparison I knew it!!!! royal vs concord
hahah thank you! Always appreciate it.
How come there isnt significant darker yellowing around the outline of the pads on the soles of this 2009 pair? The yellowing shade is quite even on the whole sole but i was told if there isnt darker yellowing around the paids of the outline they’re a fake pair?
The only 2016 AJ 11 THAT WAS MADE WITH THE ORIGINAL MOLD WAS THE 72-10 AIR JORDAN WITH THE LOWCUT PADNET LEATHER !
If they took the low cut patent leather and put it on the 2016 pair...the 2016 pair would be PERFECT
I love the space jams I just need help deciding. I like them but I also like the new SF Air Force 1 triple white that come out tomorrow. I have enough for one I just don't know which one to get
xboxFREAKINSWEET cop the J's
Sorry for the late reply, but would go with the 11s. What did you wind up getting?
I like the higher patent leather cut coz more materials = more value to our money.lol. And that's what retro is all about, being close to the original shoe. I like the 2016 better. I might sell my Ultra boost 3.0 triple white to buy a deadstock of this. Do you think $280 with taxes is justifiable price for this? thanks
Team 2016, I mean, the 09s have been a fan favorite and the pair i grew up liking, but due to the fact that everything is going back to OG, Jordan brand got me, hook line and sinker
Dope! I still like the 09 but it's something about the 2016....damn....
How to get my Jordan space jam 11 a light blue sole again, my is completely milk colorway for some reason
I like the higher cut patent leather better. But I like the Royal jumpman more lol
Really good comparison!
Thank you very very much!
I love the 2016 one.... just need to bear the "45". hope I can get one in my home country. nice comparison!
Thank you! Were you able to get them?
Dope video!!! 👍 Only complaint is the fact you keep copping out by not choosing which one you prefer. My opinion, the 96' PE 11s (cause that's what they were) obliterates those inaccurate 2009 joints in every way.
Appreciate that. It's honestly hard to pick one..I like them both...However if I was forced to pick, it would be the 16.
Great comparison 👍🏼👌🏼🙌🏼👏🏼
I entered 11 times for the space jams in a 10.5 do you think I have a good chance of getting a pair. And if I don't get them should I be able to get them online easily?
Sorry for the late reply, but were you able to get a pair?
SneakerFiles.com I got 2 pairs man
Anihmal Dope! Congrats
these are nice but not perfect (lately with Jordan releases)...LIKE: the concord color way, icy blue, embroidered #, inside sole, and box...DISLIKE: high patent leather, 45 (he had 23 in movie)...with that said were can i find a tune squad jersey?
I respect your likes and dislikes. I haven't seen the tune squad jersey available in a minute. You might have to try eBay.
I just call the 2016 versions, the Black Concords. I wonder how is the sizing and padding on the ankle collar and tongue on them? Do they fit like the recent retro 11s or what?
Nothing wrong with calling them that. Sorry for the late reply but IMO, they fit like previous 11s.

Going either true or a 1/2 size up won't hurt at all huh?

The Concord and the Varsity Royal, proves they are different. And when he wore them. He wore one in an actual series and wore one in the movie.
EmperorJBO I probably wouldn't go half size up..from what I heard, some have gone half size down.
You are right about that, but in the movie it looks like Concord..
EmperorJBO I don't think I understand..is that a bad thing? lol sorry it's early for me..haha
copped 2 pairs of the 2016 for retail. if I wanted to get a DS 2009 space jam I would have to pay more than what I paid for BOTH 2016 pairs, and after seeing this vid I don't care for the 09 pair anymore. Anyone else not really feeling the 09?
2009 I think is cool still, it's something different. However I am 100% satisfied with the 16 release.
those peaks though
Bathtub Shark not a fan?
Abrha Assad 09 are are whack compared to the 16s
The bred 11s coming out are supposed to go back to the original patent leather design! 🔥 This new shit is cut too high and reminds me of the shoes brett Hart use to wear!😂
Nah, OG patent leather AJ XI high cut is the truth!
Good reviews! Keep it up!
Thank you! Appreciate it.
personally they both are dope! I'm kinda liking the new 2016 version slightly more tho! no hype, they just look slightly better to me...
Agree. They are both dope in there own ways...both being unique.
Those laces are Net laces and that paten leather cut is so much nicer on the OG 16s but them peaks is kinda bunk
People don't like the peaks..I don't mind them but they could have went without and I wouldn't mind.
Moye H easy fix on the peaks just use a nail clipper
Fieus Design LOL true.
i luv tha higher kut of tha patent leathur on tha 2016 jamz, but i $till lyke tha 2009 pair alot bettur.
I respect that. I like them both for there own reasons
I got the 2016 release from Nike on the day of the release. Once I got them I really dislike the high patent leather. I have the bred 11s, the lower leather when it creases it doesn't look bad. Once the high patent leather creases on the 16 pair it'll look really bad because it'll be long. I'm going to sell them..
Fizz826 damn still have my pair DS. As long as it's not clearly noticeable I don't care. The problem I have with the 09 release is damn toe box. Lol
I respect that. We all have our own opinions and I have noticed some do hate the higher cut patent.
O9s are nice but the soles always throw me off I personally love the 16 s with the concord and purple soles. And I never got a chance to own a pair of 00s so it's nice to get a retro for them
Do the soles throw you off because of the yellowing?
I like them both but i dont have any. I need these is all I know lol
TRUUUUUE!!
Were you able to get them?
I wish you could combine the 2.. I like everything on the 16 from the Nike inside to the higher patten to the blue icy bottom, but I wish it had the varsity blue logos and the varsity blue logo on the bottom vs the white logo on the bottom of the 16.
I think that would have been dope to be honest.
i have both and in my opinion i like 16 better just because the changed the patent leather and the blue tint
Respect. Glad you have both and decided off of that.
I'm still grabbing but I wish they would've kept the color blue instead of Concord
Yea seems a lot of people wished the same. would have been nice.
Milky sole > icy sole
I hated and sold my 09's. They were extremely uncomfortable and the banana shape effected sizing too. I like the 16's better
Damn that sucks to hear. I am glad though you had the chance to grab the new release.
absolute must cop...
Were you able to get them?
SneakerFiles.com yes
Steffon Curry Dope! Congrats
How good is the leather is a good quality on 2016
Sorry for the late reply, by now, I am sure you have them but I think the quality is good.
The 09 pair padding is fit better for a low.
09's are better for me. I don't like that high patent leather. I bought them because this is my second Jordan shoe with some actual blue and white color contrast. The high patent leather is not attractive compared to the 09 regardless of how true to the original release may be. But as you said SF, its nothing too off to complain. Or maybe its the fact that I'm not too into 11's and the fact that I'm used to seeing the low patent leather for so long.
I 100% respect. We are use to seeing the lower patent leather through the years...most have got used to it. Wonder how the patent leather will be in the future.
correction, the 2016 model isnt the one in the movie. It's what he wore when he first came back
Yes, that is correct. I stated that on my previous video. He wore the number 23 in the movie.
great content keep it up
Thank you!
Ridiculous. Reading the comments is torture. 09s have better quality? 09s and 00s are similar quality? Wtf?!? Dummies. The 2016 are as close to the OG as you're gonna get. The concord jumpman, the higher THICKER patent leather cut. He wore "45" when he came back, the jams he wore had "45" on the heel. I swear these kids know nothing and just make shit up.
You are right about everything...However, in the movie he did wear the 23..but on court, he wore 45.
hows the sizing difference ? please some one comment
Sizing difference between the 09 and 16? I will try and find out.
hows the sizing?
True to size.
B Bryan stay grinding respect rasta
Thank you! You as well!
dope comparison👍I don't know like you sed their both dope but I do know something both retros are missing an that is the jumpman jam on the tongue like my 2000 pair instead of jumpman Jordan an to be honest I really don't consider the 2016 pair spacejams because of the 45 these are MJs PEs from the 1995-96 playoffs vs.the 23 which are the spacejams.
Thank you! Yea you're right they are missing that. really a big difference. I didn't mention that in this video because I said it in my unboxing..probably should have though.
The 2016 pair looks fake tbh I was never a fan of the og design of jordan 11s because it made the shoe look bulky. Now after seeing this I can honestly say I like the 2009 wayy better
The 2009’s just look odd compared to the 2016 ones. (I like the 2009 retros)
The 2016 pair jumpman looks more flat. I remember the 09 pair jumpan kind of poked a little I guess is the word
Interesting...most of overlooked that.
09 for me cause I loved the movie space jam and I wanted to be similar to the movie, not the P.E. But still, 16 is cool too.
Nice. Respect!
Why did they do a higher cut? That's not necessarily true to OG form.
Original release did have a higher cut patent leather
Blue tint looks awesome
I agree
I like the 2009 with less patent leather up the sides
Respect man!
2016 pair looks amazing
Yea I am really happy with them.
the new patent is super high compared to actual og 11s. the og patent was high but not that high
I will have to check it out..
wow there is a big difference between those 2 lol damn I got the 09 pair can't wait to get the 2016 but I like the 2016 more it looks so dope good video bro
Yea there are some big differences. Were you able to get them? Appreciate the compliment as always
SneakerFiles.com yes man thank God I was able to double up on these they look so dope better than 2009 thanks for responding to all my comments
the official name for the 2016 "space jam" is "monstar mash". so technically the aren't the same shoe. jordan brand is calling the 9s the space jam 9. I definitely love both shoes but would chose the 2016 pair
I mean, monster mash is apart of Space Jam..but we all have our own opinions.
I really did not like the 2009 version when I first saw it I was like what is this? And I almost went down to flight club and have them give me the 2000 release. This is my favorite Jordan of all time and I take this very seriously when it comes to the Space Jams. I personally never had the 2000 version back in the day and that upset at me back then but since I have a chance to get them now my pair is in my closet right now the 2016 version. And I love the sneakers.
I am happy you love them and got them! Much respect
They give us the one's they suppose give in 2009 i remember the photo's
Where can I see those photos?
