[@brettbartletti7847]

Never owned 11 highs. I would like these in my collection. 🔥

[@colin9608]

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.

[@alexsantiago5488]

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.

[@DubCityTv]

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.

[@DubCityTv]

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

[@b.anderson]

The leather upper is what sells it for me. Definitely getting them.

[@shadowoftheson5144]

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. ❤️

[@sourpatchkilla]

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

[@AlexanderKunDesu]

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.

[@Zeus0886]

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.

[@trapsquadd4347]

[@DragonSlayer850]

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.

[@henryw9258]

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 🤞

@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.

Thank God, the yellowing cables are the #1 reason I haven’t invested in many 11’s before.

[@AlexBB77]

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.

[@cricriplays3056]

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!!

[@macayetano]

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.

[@AM-uk7jv]

11s are always better made than the rest of the retros. I can't remember a shitty 11 as far as build quality and materials go in recent memory. 11s are THE Jordans. The top dawg. And JB knows that and delivers.

[@keaunteeredfearn727]

Thanks to this video I'm definitely going for these

[@Andrew77MUFC]

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]

Space jams definitely won't be coming in 2024 only because the low top version is releasing in summer of 24' and Jordan Brand would never put out both lows and mids in the same year, but if you don't have a problem with the low top version of 11s than you will be happy this coming summer.

[@Andrew77MUFC]

@@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.

[@donaldburke9745]
