Air Jordan 11 playoff low OG China and Taiwan/2021 retro comparison

Taking it back to the original release in 1996 to the current 2021 retro! The Air Jordan 11 playoff low consisting of OG's from Taiwan and one pair from China in a comparison to the 2021 retro. Take a trip down memory lane with me as well as specifications of the original releases and how @jumpman23 did on the newest retro.

Air Jordans made in Taiwan back in the 80s and mid 90s were good quality

When you said banana toe, I almost fell out my chair. LOL

[glazingking]

totally agree about the toe.. most of them all retros got these so bad toe on it.. if theyre talking about OG they supposed to memek everything on it, from the shame the toe and everything an OG shoes.. it really affects the design and the looks of the shoes... hopefully jordan fix this..

I knew you were looking forward to getting the retro in hand so that you could make this video and you definitely did not disappoint. Even with a few hiccups on the current release they did a commendable job. Great comparison video, well done!!!

OG’s were really made for Mike as he played ball in them from the padding, leather textures, etc. Now it’s not many my people playing ball in Jordan’s like they used to. I hear the young kids say we pay too much for them so we rather ball in Kyries and Lebrons which is crazy to me but it’s become a lifestyle which they need to revert back to making all # Jordan’s basketball ready shoes again.

Finally got my ‘21 pair in today. Glad to have in the collection.

Also something you forgot to mention. The actual shape of the new outsoles is slightly more narrow. Im talking about the inside rigger piece of clear rubber (right on the inside big toe of the shoe) On the originals its wider and it slightly sticks out more. you can notice it 3whenever you have them on feet and you are staring directly down at your feet.

Great video still waiting for my pair hopefully tomorrow had me dying with the dog “shut up”!

With the technology today wonder why JB doesn't 3D scan the og's to help recreate the original shapes. 🤔

I got a tts pair coming and a half size down pair. But moreover I really wish they would have at least gotten the red correct. Sheeesh. Great educational video bro!

[bobbyfreshkicks]

Definitely had to go .5 size down on the 2021 pair

[resiejr]

Thanks for making this! Love this shoe. I doubled up too. I have the IE OG and I definitely agree with the sizing difference. I’ve noticed it throughout most retros. Although it feels like the 14s retro and OG are more closer in size. I wonder if they kept the molds for the 14s?

Great vid! Great info! Thank you thank you thank you!

It looks like JB took from both the China and Taiwan OG to make the retro.

[monkeballa]

Do you still recommend the 2021 pair? They are well below retail price and of course, cheaper than finding a 96 pair.

[Eazydisaster]

Did MJ wear these much in the playoffs? I don't remember them at all.

[earlcanton]

Are you comfortable with the tts or rather go a half size down?

[romeyKICKS]

It Just Seems Like They’re Making Them In More Of A Lifestyle Casual Wear Styling Compared To A Sleeker Performance Esque Aesthetic

The QC from Nike & Jordan is completely ass, we have to stop paying cramp. They need to start listening to the consumers, we as buyers focus on quality, while they focus on quanity.
