Air Jordan 11 Low Space Jam

[@MicahDanielSmith]

I watched 2 different youtubers review this Space Jam Low... one of them said "Oh I hardly even noticed they did that Jumpman Jam thing - someone pointed it out on my Instagram. No clue why" vs Chris who dives into a history of the release and how this was true to the original before jumping into a deep dive on the carbon fiber shank plate. Its like having your server at Outback tell you a wine to drink vs a sommelier pick and describe the perfect pairing. Chris is a true "Shoemelier"

[@vincebavaro7040]

Chris is a connois-shoeur

[@wildin8156]

You gotta know who to watch.

[@StillycoBra5150]

So true! You can kinda tell when a reviewer is just repeating something they heard vs someone who actually remembers things and double checks to make sure they remembered right.

[@MrTomNguyen]

for the sophisticated sneakerhead, Chris is a must-watch. He loves em all but doesn't hype em up like others. He has the most historical knowledge and artifacts to back it up.

[@victorcampos7722]

Because Chris is a true sneaker head, them other guys are followers/hype-beasts

[@thegameneededme5]

The 11s were everything to me when I was younger. Was born in the late 80s, so too young for the original Jordan models at the time and it’s the 11s that I have the most nostalgia for. So excited for these.

[@terryllramsey8128]

I was born in 85 that’s about the time the Jordan 1 came my parents kept me in Jordan’s I started from the 3’s and counting

[@csmithreal]

I'm 43 and he is the perfect shoe reviewer to me. I wish he did every literal shoe 😂

[@UBEE2ME]

There's not another channel that gives us an unbiased, 100% honest opinion when it comes to sneaker reviews like Wear Testers. So glad I found this place. I really respect the fact that these reviews aren't motivated from the big corporate brands who don't give 2 f**ks about the customers or incentivized to promote a particular shoe or product bc of a sponsor. Just opinions & an honesty coming from someone who loves kickz just like the rest of the culture. Chris won't do you dirty if you ask him about a shoe. If it sucks he'll say so. If it's dope he'll have no issue saying so even if majority of people don't like it. No bandwagoning at wear Testers fasho! Keep it comin' y'all! I'll continue to watch every week

[@Turbokitten643]

I love how Chris really got into this question of the day.

[@DanielMartinez-fu3pb]

In my lifetime: Air Force One, Jordan 11, Kobe 6, and Kyrie 3. That's basically how my playing shoes progressed. Keep grindin'!!!

[@Real-Ez]

As someone who has only been a sneaker head for a couple years, I appreciate you breaking down this stuff or talk about the history cause I don’t know ANYTHING, I grew up not being able to buy Jordan’s not even knowing they were based on a basketball player because I didn’t have tv, so thank you for educating me on stuff I missed out on growing up!

[@phillipjolly635]

Got to say this is the best shoe review channel hands down, thank you 😊

Thank you ☺️

[@CYSA2122]

My Top 4: Jordan 3 - Elephant print 13:35 and Jumpman Logo, Jordan 5 - 3M tongue and clear bottoms 🤯, SC Trainer 2 - Bo Knows to the next level and Jordan 11 - tech at the highest level. My Top 4 were chosen from seeing them originally drop in the 80s and 90s.

[@StumptownRetro]

My Mt Rushmore for Sneakers: 1: Converse Chuck Taylor, self explanatory 2: Adidas Samba, still to this day decades later one of the best indoor and all purpose shoes for soccer. 3: Jordan 3, the shoe that saved Nike and made Jordan brand. The tumbled leather. Visible air units. Pull tab. 4: Vans Old Skool, the classic is a classic for what it did for skateboarding becoming the poster child for the brand and standing tall all these decades later

[@nitrobiz]

I've been collecting J's since '89 and these Space Jam 11's are my fav, fav to wear and fav to hoop in.

[@sneaksgeeks9008]

I had the OG 2000 pair (Easy double up at the time as I worked for Finish Line) I sold both my pairs some years later when the sneaker game was dormant. Always regretted selling. Every pair released since has failed to live up to those originals. Happy to see the royal and Jumpman Jam back on these, even though they’re lows. I’ll prob cop but still waiting for those OG mids to drop again one day.

[@Andrew77MUFC]

Great question of the day , really got me thinking about the possibilities. Too tough for me to narrow down to a sneaker Mt. Rushmore. Slightly different but what i could name is a sneaker golden era , which to me is 1995-1997. Jordan 11s , 12s and 13s - 11s and 12s my all time favorite Jordan models and all game changing releases. Some iconic Air Max models released during that time as well and the Foamposite's OG release. To me those were all ground breaking releases and some of the best ever imo. Also even Reebok's Question and the first Griffey's both released in that time period as well. Those were the days.

[@marcusgreenwood9804]

That's why ur the goat ur knowledge of sneakers is unmatched period.

[@dzzel415]

These shoes are soooo clean.. 11s were my favorite as a kid all the cool kids had them space jams are gems even if they low they are gorgeous

[@박도영-y7y]

Thanks for the video! My basketball personals 1. Nike zoom flight 5s (jason kidd) 2. Aj 11 3. Air max more uptempos (pippen) 4. Penny 1s

[@Leophon999]

Man, good video. This is why im a daily viewer. Why i started wearing what I like and opening up my threshold for what I like. Why I ultimately can enjoy sneakers. Im informed, I have a place to discuss a hobby of mine that doesn't die when the hype or the resale market dies. You know how many people I can talk with about this now that the market is down and hype is down? 1 vs. the 7 or 8 in 2020. But I can always count on yall to bring a qualty light hearted, fun convo to the mix.❤

[@aaronbazner6638]

You nailed it other youtubers have no understanding of the history of this sneaker. They are comparing it to the recent space jam which is just a gimmick by nike for the movie and not the OG from 2000

[@marcusmcgraw3519]

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this colorway on this model, no matter what size it comes in

[@DGMrpoetry]

Thai might have been the most intense and accurate sneaker Mount Rushmore all while being entertaining video I’ve seen in a while lol, well done you guys.

[@ddlangleyOG]

My personal Mount Rushmore -Chuck Taylor -DJs all leather -Adidas Superstar -Air Force 1s You have to start with the genesis Chuck Taylor. The Converse DJs introduced the leather basketball shoe. "Superstar"(Molly Shannon reference) the herringbone the most important grip pattern in the game. Air Force 1 (my favorite) gave us Air. Everything we see today is a derivative of these.

[@qchang09]

Agree with these. I was thinking DJs also but they tend to get left out of the conversation. AJ1s have been so pervasive in terms of enduring success, but the Mount Rushmore are the Js' forefathers

[@WHO-DAT-GUY]

[@user-xdnowdf]

For the algorithm! Been here since the days of the hyperfuse and the hyperize (remember that abomination?). I don't play basketball at all anymore so I didn't follow the channel but coming back now I realised that I liked the performance reviews just as much as matching Chris talking about anything basketball related. Keep it up!

[@ronlim4654]

My mt. Rushmore Chucks - started it all Jordan 1 - starred the best performance line Jordan 11 - too much advancement for its time (the shoe is almost 30 years old and is still playable in 2024) Kobe 4 - started the low top craze and people realizing ankle support for high tops are not needed if the shoe is stable

[@kilama420]

THEY TAPE THEIR ANKLES CRAZY IS THE MAIN REASON

[@ronlim4654]

[@Andrew77MUFC]

I do really like these XI lows, I have a solid selection of XI lows for the summer ; though might risk circling back on these, with my eye on other pickups this month. I really want another Space Jam XI High to retro again tbh. I have only one wearable pair of those left at the moment and they are worn to death. And considering next year i believe will be 9 years since their last retro and there are some patterns of the Highs coming soon after the lows with XIs. Ideally at some point in the next few years we should get another Space Jam XI High release. And honestly those are one of my all time favorite Jordans (on one of my favorite models).

[@jordancarter4060]

This is a level Bred 4 shoe. Goes with everything and just beautiful. Ima grab another pair to put on ice

[@thomascalderon598]

Jordan 12 gotta be on the list. The introduction to zoom air in jordan brand, carbon shank, EVA, and leather. Not just that but around the 1996-97 were other players wanting to get a piece of them, so much so you see Scottie wearing em, GP, College Players, etc.

[@ShawnKirch]

EVA, Leather, & Carbon shank were introduced in other Jordans. The 11 introduced the ballistic mesh, patent leather, and the carbon shank. It's probably the most new tech in a single Jordan

[@jeff_uchiha]

I really like these because of the low patent leather cut, it’s an absolute must for me 🔥

[@Jhayzer021]

My Mount Rushmore that I owned in my lifetime are: 4. Chuck Taylor Converse - Its iconic and my daily driver from HS thru College back then. 3. AND1 Kevin Garnett - I am a fan of Garnett when he is playing and seeing his shoes and owning it is mindblowing. 2. Reebok Iverson 3 - Its the most common shoes in my HS school and at P.E. my classmates rock those including me. 1. Air Jordan 1 - No contest! its everybody's dream shoes who idolized MJ, as a kid I always wanted one but can't and now owning one of those badboys as a full grown adult is breathtaking. As soon as I open the box and put it on my feet I'm speechless.

[@marcomundo7276]

1. Chucks is all we had in early 70's. The sole, the grip was fantastic. Had to wear 1 low top on the jump foot(left foot" for flexibility. And one High top for support on the right foot. 2.Adidas high top is what started "that looks good and sounds good, screech on the gym floor" for sneakers. 3. Jordan Hare was the beginning of the hype on sneakers. 4. The concord 11's sealed the deal on "I gotta have that shoe."

[@resiejr]

My Mt. Rushmore: Puma Clyde, Adidas Super Star, Jordan 1, Foamposite. The reason is that the Clyde was the first signature shoe that tied basketball with street wear. The super star tied sneakers with hip hop with Run DMC and b-boys. The Jordan 1 tied all three together (street wear, hip hop, and sneakers). The foamposite because it changed the way and materials that could be used for making shoes. If foamposite was not successful in being manufactured, we don’t get the sneakers of today. Thanks for the videos and this question is really cool.
