Ay SNEAKERFILES My 2014’s Are holding up very well, I wear them all the time but I did get lucky on the recent Shock Drop, I can carry this new pair well in my 50’s…!!! I believe the pair I got in 2015 were B’Grades but I’m not mad at it…!!! Thank You for Your POreView…!!! Metallic V’s Next for my collection.
I’m just glad shoes being bought in stores without lines, camping out, running through malls, fighting, stealing, bullying, and killing is over. I’ll be even more glad when the reseller market is watered down and used as a resource to get limited edition shoes or PE’s like it was intended to be. Not guys rubbing out and buying up all the shoes to sale at damn near double the price.
I remember this version of this sneaker, Jordan wore it in the 1996 NBA All Star Game. If MJ couldn't do anything else, he can make any sneaker become a future holy grail.
I had these Jordan 11s as a 9 year old kid back in 1996 for getting good grades on a Test. I was the coolest kid in school for about 2 months everyday at recess rocking these and playing bball with my friends. The 9 year old in me is definitely gonna play in them if I get them 👟🐐 #AirJordan
Awesome video Brian! Man, your pair of space jam’s are pristine and those soles look great, for their age! Even if they haven’t been worn very much, usually oxidation will do hell on some icy soles! I, for one, appreciate this release of Columbia 11’s…I never had a pair of any previous releases and you can’t go wrong with any Jordan OG.
Thank you very much! I haven’t pulled out the space jam in years and was surprised how clean they still are. This is a great pair to pickup. I don’t own any of the previous releases either, but I will eventually get these
Hell yeah, man. I got my pair yesterday! I hope we get Varsity Royal, thick high-cut space jams, with jumpman jam, buttery heel leather, and a stitched 23, with the jumpman facing the correct way. That would prolly be my fav 11 ever.
Thanks for the review, Brian. Hope these don't suffer from the rampant quality issues that the Black Cement 3's had. I'm picking one up day 1 and waiting for a sale to double up. I like that you mentioned the Space Jams. I was able to randomly find an OG 2000 pair right in my own town yesterday that another collector was letting go of. I scored it for $300.
I am swearing off of regular sneakers because I got into the barefoot/wide toe box/drop zero/zero cushioning shoes. But I still watch your videos for nostalgia purposes.
I got my pair from the Shock drop and I noticed it was a little rough compared to other sneakers. Even my 6 year old daughter said daddy it feels a little sandy like sand. Lol
Hey bro, love your video content when it comes to the classic and retro Nike lineups I do own the original of 2001 retro Colombian blue Jordan and I also have the 2014 retro 11s. I also have the original first retro 11 space jam high top as well is aged yellow bottom but has so much great history had them ever since more than welcome to reach out to me seeing some pictures of them.
Got an early pair off eBay from a very trusted seller. Just arrived today and these are 🔥 🔥 Never been a big fan of 11’s but have the Bred’s and really wanted these
It’s funny how you showed those two shoes specifically. Both the anniversary and legend blue’s were some of my first 11s that I bought when I got my first job around three years ago. Specifically mentioning the legend blues, I eventually just collected every single release of em 😅. Hence why this release is a must! I love rocking my restored 01 pair from time to time but these definitely deserve the double up! I may sell the ogs and another 01 pair I have lying around just to make space….
Glad you hit on them! Congrats. Totally up to you to sell. Not sure what they are going for in the size you got but if you can make a little bit of money, why not?
@@doodatwin1497 a mixture of not as popular as other 11s plus mass produced. As far as popularity goes, this will be outside of the sneaker community. The people who pick up the 11s that aren’t considered sneaker heads.
How is the patent leather thickness? Is it more like the gratitudes where you think they will crease up super quick, or more closer to the OG where they won’t crease up immediately in the toe box?
What can I say. I'm a sucker for OGs.🤷🏾 I just got my hands on my LBs today and they look even cleaner in person. sidebar-I need 2 pairs of the white cement 4s. In addition to the Space Jams, I need a 72-10 Pantone and Win like 82 release.
Im buying my first jordans ever and they are these! Sorry this is maybe a dumb question but are these really going to drop on snkrs app dec 14th because I cant see them yet? Also can I buy these shoes from snkrs app if I dont live in the us?
Congrats on your first pickup! And that isn’t a dumb question. Yes they will be available on the SNKRS App on December 14th as well as many other retailers. You should be able to. This is a big release and will be available globally.
I hear everyone say go true to size on these..I went half a size up because of my experience with other shoes.. like the 6 rings and 9s..now im concerned that they will fit loose or look blown out after years of wearing.
Typically you want to go true to size. However, if they are a bit big, I would suggest returning them on release date and picking up your size. It shouldn’t be hard to get your new size.
I think I’m gonna wait until they drop the bred 11 lows next year. This one is a good addition, but a bit unnecessary. Plus I just picked up the Black Cement 3s, hard to justify both. Just like I couldn’t justify both the White Thunder 4s and Fear 4s
Let me point out 2 facts. Since the original, they've always had leather on the upper and not mesh 2, it's not hard to find out the actual reason why they changed. The name was because columbia was not able to be used due to the.Reference of the college
low cut patent leather looks even worse than I remember it on that creamed out white pair you pulled out, after becoming so accustomed to the high cut the low cut looks so weird to me
Love these pair of jordans all my life. I call em the columbias 😂. IYKYK, im getting 3 pairs of these . Have a couple to sell when they sell out . 2025 gonna make everyone go into the "great depression" everyone is gonna max out their credit cards 😂😂😂😂
Price drop? idk about that... but everyone should wait, getting a retail priced pair should be easy... These hit outlets last time but don't remember a discount price, just that they were available
Damn the should put that plastic translucent cover in the box like the bred 11s but powder blue with the Roman numerals in white and powder blue plastic shoe trees
I dislike when "story" is interjected into a color name. Columbia blue is just the name used for this particular shade of blue. We as a community overcomplicate that and it is just silly and questionable.

I love that it’s not like that now too. Makes it so much easier to get shoes. Brings the fun back into things.
Let the church say Amen
The change from mesh to leather on the uppers is a huge upgrade. Loved that on my gratitudes
Yes it is an upgrade. I like the look too
It'll stay white for MUCH longer, so I strongly agree. Wish the tongue was leather too like a lot of the lows that used this leather upper.
These were always leather since 1996 though
@@AirCoded1523🎯💯
But they should've done on tounge also like my Pantones. Those and the cool greys are my favorite 11s
My brother’s and I got these for Christmas in 95-96. We were so stoked🤙
That’s dope! Love hearing stuff like this. I wanted the 11s when I was a kid, but couldn’t get them.
@ I really wanted the Concord’s but I wasn’t going to complain! lol
🔥🔥🔥 automatic cop for me got about 8 outfits ready for these kicks

Hey Brian. Good vid. I’m definitely picking up these 11’s. OG’s for life
Thank you! Glad you’re getting a pair 🤝
I remember this version of this sneaker, Jordan wore it in the 1996 NBA All Star Game. If MJ couldn't do anything else, he can make any sneaker become a future holy grail.

Thank you for doing the video! I reminisce your videos from back in day 2014-2017 dope videos please keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do on that. That was a fun era of reviews. Trying to bring that back
My bad but, this may be asking a lot. Can you bring back the background music too 🎉❤

That’s dope! I really appreciate the support! 🤝🤝🤝
Awesome review 👍👍💯%!!!
Thank you very much 🤝🤝🤝
AWESOME VIDEO BRIAN!!!! I had these in 96 and I never called them Columbia 11’s I always called them the UNC 11’s but hey that’s me
Thank you. Yea a lot of different nicknames for the shoes. UNC or Carolina are two good ones
I got my pair from the Shock drop and I noticed it was a little rough compared to other sneakers. Even my 6 year old daughter said daddy it feels a little sandy like sand. Lol
What part of it is rough? The upper?
Will this a have a good resale vslue?
The only thing I don't like is the mesh tongue, I think they could have made it leather because that mesh is hard to clean when it's white 😢
That’s true. But in this case, they wanted to make it like the OG. However, leather tongue would have been very nice!
subscribedn
I appreciate you! 🤝🤝🤝
Nice vid man. Thanks for the history. Good to hear. Thank you 🙏🏿
Thank you very much Mo! 🤝🤝🤝
Great vid B! Off subject but you should get those OG cherries restored like Nightwing just did
I think that would be dope!
Thank you! I have been thinking about getting a handful of my OG’s restored. My 5s and 6s need it badly
I see you have been putting that left index finger to good use. 🕵🏾♂️
👀👀👀👀👀
12:03 what it do mane?
11s hit different when it had the premium pull out box. They need to go back since the price is so high.
That’s true. I did enjoy the special packaging. Took a bit longer to open and put back together but it’s still very nice
Man u got me hype bro...I hope u got sum great news for 2026! 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
I am hearing some stuff. I can’t leak it yet but…I think people will be happy
Great vid Brian u da man🐐happy thanksgiving to u n fam
Thank you! Happy thanksgiving to you and your family as well 🤝
Space Jam 9 and 11s literally were the only shoes I wanted after seein those movies as a kid…had no clue. Now I can’t wait 😬
That’s dope! I watched that movie twice in theaters as a kid! Wanted both shoes.
Hey bro, love your video content when it comes to the classic and retro Nike lineups I do own the original of 2001 retro Colombian blue Jordan and I also have the 2014 retro 11s.

Thank you very much! In the future I will take you up on your offer. Would be great to have for these videos. 🤝
Favorite Thanksgiving food = turkey and the gravy on top with the mash potatoes.
Man!!! That sounds so good right now. Gravy definitely makes it better
Got an early pair off eBay from a very trusted seller. Just arrived today and these are 🔥 🔥 Never been a big fan of 11’s but have the Bred’s and really wanted these

That’s an odd coincidence. But that’s dope that you own the OG and older retros. I never got around to completing the OG 11 set. Stopped at 1 sadly.
I'm saving money to get them 🔥 I hope I can get my hands on these. I loved them since I saw the pair on the last episode of the Fresh Prince 🤤
I remember that episode of French prince. I hope you’re able to get them 🤝
Sizing on these?
Should be true to size
Just received today after winning on shock drop. Not sure if keeping or not.
Glad you hit on them! Congrats. Totally up to you to sell. Not sure what they are going for in the size you got but if you can make a little bit of money, why not?
These got me feeling a certain type of way
Good or bad?
@sneakerfiles def good. Been a while since we saw these. Hopefully we'll see the gamas return?
Wait a minute in ur last review u said that they would go on sale because they weren't so popular...please make sense of this
@@doodatwin1497 a mixture of not as popular as other 11s plus mass produced. As far as popularity goes, this will be outside of the sneaker community. The people who pick up the 11s that aren’t considered sneaker heads.
Ain’t no way in hell these going on sale. Best believe they will sell out on the 14th. Few smaller sizes maybe available. But they selling out.
I REMEMBER WHEN THE ANNIVERSARY 11S CAME OUT THEY HAD THE LIMITED EDITION WITH THE JUMPMAN AND 23
Yes! I liked a lot of releases that came out that year to celebrate
Less than retail on stockx in most sizes i hit the shock drop size 13 so im still happy regardless
Congrats on the W. I have noticed that sizes have dropped in price. That’s great to see
I'm Passing I Still Have My Pair From 2014 DS
That’s dope! Glad you have them and like them. 🤝🤝🤝
Str8 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate you 🤝🤝🤝
How is the patent leather thickness? Is it more like the gratitudes where you think they will crease up super quick, or more closer to the OG where they won’t crease up immediately in the toe box?
From what I can tell, it’s a bit thicker. I don’t think it will crease right away. But it will eventually.
I copped a pair, these are better than the Gratitude 11’s and more Comfy😁
Congrats on the pickup! Glad you’re enjoying them
Yams 🍠 are my go-to side dish. My Jordan 11s should be here soon from the shockdrop
Yams are 🔥🔥🔥 I didn’t have any this year. Congrats on hitting via the shock drop.
What can I say. I'm a sucker for OGs.🤷🏾
I just got my hands on my LBs today and they look even cleaner in person.

In addition to the Space Jams, I need a 72-10 Pantone and Win like 82 release.
I am a sucker for OGs too. I know how it is. I need a couple pairs of 4s myself. Can’t wait for those to drop.

The silver anniversary 11s ARE MY FAVORITE!!! (2010)
That’s dope! Sadly they are so yellowed now
@ yea.. they still get respect in the streets tho
7:56, it was in 2016, with the space jams, u just showed
I thought it would be the cool grays in 2021
Thank you very much 🤝🤝🤝
Team size 14 here. Seems to be the rarest shoe size. I can rarely get sales 😔😂
That’s very true. Size 14 it’s hard to find deals
Gammas in 2025 followed by the Space Jams in 2026 would be AWESOME
This is what I am hoping for!
Why you didn't do the review in the house 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷
I have two areas to record. The first is in my garage due to space. But I might have to move that since it’s getting cold
What do you rate these?
Hmmm. I would give them an 8. It’s a nice pair.
I hear everyone say go true to size on these..I went half a size up because of my experience with other shoes.. like the 6 rings and 9s..now im concerned that they will fit loose or look blown out after years of wearing.

@sneakerfiles i should've used that word, my apologies was in a rush at the time
@ no worries at all. I appreciate the info.
Higher cut was 2016 n the Soave jams when it went Back to higher cut the space jam from 2009 bad jumpman jam on tongue boss
Thank you! I appreciate the info.
I just got mine today. Checked them & vaccinations sealed em up, gonna save them for the summer
Congrats on the pickup! I am like that too. I wait to wear them. It does help that it’s not the best weather to wear them now.
EA in December I want them
Dope! You should be able to get them no problem
The toe box on those pairs are not slanted enough
That’s true. The OG was more slanted. Wish I owned them.
I’ll wait for the blk n red lows
Those are a must pickup
I paid 360 for theses I I think I should’ve waited theses are birthday shoes.and my first pair of 11s I’m so excited to get them🔥
Yea but at the end of the day, you like them and want them. So I wouldn’t be to upset about it. I have overpaid for multiple pairs in the past
low cut patent leather looks even worse than I remember it on that creamed out white pair you pulled out, after becoming so accustomed to the high cut the low cut looks so weird to me
Haha right? I know people at first hated the higher cut but now I feel everyone is adjusted to it, it looks off.
How would you feel if they were all black? Keep the bottom the tongue label, and the Jordan symbol the same color.
I feel I could wear those much easier. I would 100% cop those
Love these pair of jordans all my life. I call em the columbias 😂. IYKYK, im getting 3 pairs of these . Have a couple to sell when they sell out . 2025 gonna make everyone go into the "great depression" everyone is gonna max out their credit cards 😂😂😂😂
These are dope and glad you’re picking up multiple pairs. 2025 has so many great releases coming!
Still pissed I couldn’t get them on the shock drop. Stupid sneakers app.
Sorry to hear that. That’s Nike’s way of trying to build the hype
I lucked out and was able to get on the early reserve through Finish Line.
2016s 11s was 1st high cut
Thank you for that 🤝
I got two pairs 1 to wear and 1 for custom!!
That’s dope! What do you have planned for the custom?
@ ima make the up part unc ! They will look like to tuxedo’s but blue instead black
Am i tripping or does the mid sole have like this tint to it? Almost pink?🤔
I haven’t noticed it. Maybe it’s my lighting?
It's just the lighting, bro. I got em and it's white for sure.
@sneakerfiles I got mine in today and I see it in mine also
@@sneakerfiles maybe it's both of our lighting lol🤷🏽♂️
Artificial lighting gives it a pink hue. Natural light cleans it up.

Columbia = color name of the previous Jordan 11
Colombia = name of the south American country

Still a pass for an almost all white shoe. Thats why I bought the J11 bred Velvet
I totally understand. Those Bred Velvet are 🔥🔥🔥 great pickup on those
My boy, these will sit HARD! For all of you that want these, just wait and you will see them come down in price.
Price drop? idk about that... but everyone should wait, getting a retail priced pair should be easy...
These hit outlets last time but don't remember a discount price, just that they were available
I do think they will go on sale too.
These will not go on sale. They will sell out. Promise u
Damn the should put that plastic translucent cover in the box like the bred 11s but powder blue with the Roman numerals in white and powder blue plastic shoe trees
I remember those. That would have been dope. The smaller details do add up

Bro that’s not the biggest release of the year…stop the cap
Biggest release as how many pairs are being produced
Biggest release of the year? Hardly lol
Biggest release when it comes to the amount of pairs being produced
@sneakerfiles ahh gotcha.
why they keep change the damn name. its the carolina 11.
Good question. That’s another nickname for them too
The problems with these is the discoloration in time. That's why for me it's not worth $180.00
They 230
@ My bad, even worse lol
That’s very true. I did mention that they would age in time. Makes them look bad IMO.
I dislike when "story" is interjected into a color name. Columbia blue is just the name used for this particular shade of blue. We as a community overcomplicate that and it is just silly and questionable.
I understand. I think the more fitting name is “All-Star to be honest.
@ Probably. At least there the story is good and historical rather than based on conjecture.
@ that’s true. We can talk about the all star game and how it’s connecting to him winning MVP.
The toebox look super bulky I hate that.
Good for wide feet though
Yea that’s one thing I am not a fan of
$230? You cannot be serious.
Yea sadly. Price continues to rise
Probably the only Jordan 11 i don’t like
Totally understand. There are people who are fans of the 11s, but not this pair

It was called Colombia cause the white not the blue lol
Columbia is the shade of Blue used by JB though
@ I just thought the meaning symbolizes like coke and the whiter part of the shoe
@ lol so that’s kind of what I was hinting at on the name change. But I totally see where you’re coming from
@ lol I can’t wait to cop I’ve wanted these since forever n now i have my chance
