 Today we're going over the Air Jordan 11 7210. But this is the low top version. Ever since I saw images leak on the internet with this sneaker, I just knew I had to have these and unfortunately, I didn't get my size. But that's okay because I'm still here to give you guys the review and I already know I could trade these for my size. And if you guys didn't know by now, my name is DJ and this is the DNA show. On this channel, I love breaking down different sneakers like this, giving you comparisons from the past and always talking about the current events as well. So if you haven't already, consider subscribing and joining the fam. We're very close to a million subscribers and you could be the next one to get us there. So with all that being said, let's go ahead and crack this box open and see what these shoes are talking about. Now, this is the Air Jordan 11 and they give us that old school nostalgic vibe with the OG 11s from back in the day. So I do like that representation when it comes to these, even though they are low top. These have an all black lift off lid. You got your Jordan air branding right here in white with the red jump man in the center. And then on the bottom of the box, it's all gray and the size tag reads Air Jordan 11 low retro, black, gym red, white sale. Ah, size nine, size nine. Usually I say size 13, just for me. But let's just get into the shoe. Lifting open the lid of the box right here, you have an all black paper and then you got the shoe. Oh, you got the shoe. Okay, first impressions of this sneaker. These are exactly what I was expecting and I am not mad at these at all. Honestly, I feel like a lot of people slept on these, but we'll get into that a little bit later in the video. Now, before I start breaking down all the styles, cut some materials of these, we got to talk about the OG pair that brought these to life. So as you can see right here, we have your modern day sleeve Air Jordan 11 box. You got your all black on the upper with the little red hitch right here. You got the red plastic with the big X in the eye, giving you that Jordan 11. Jesus thing is stiff. Giving you that Jordan 11. All right, hold on one second. There we go. All right. This thing has been in the box for a while. Giving you that Jordan 11 vibe, you got the all red plastic right here that lifts up, and then you got the shoe. Oh, you got the shoe. Now, yes, I do wish the low top version was in the same size as these. That way I can give you guys a full in-depth comparison, but I'll make sure I get some solid detail shots with the two side by side, just so you guys can see the similarities with the materials and the cuts of the sneakers. So some people may be wondering, why am I showing you the high top version if this is the low top review? And the reason why, we got to talk about the history first because nobody would like the low tops if they didn't know about the high tops in the first place. So this shoe was slated as the 7210 Air Jordan 11. Some people may or may not know, but Michael Jordan played for the Bulls and during one of those seasons, they had a 7210 record, and that set the record for the most wins in an NBA season, which was then broken by the Golden State Warriors later down the line, way later down the line. But again, that's a whole other topic. Either way, they created that based off of that storyline and called these the 7210 11. And I'm not sure if everybody knew, but there was actually a sample of this sneaker right here that was made probably about 20 or 15 years before that time in the early 2000s that wasn't even slated as the 7210s. It almost looked like a bread and a space jam mixed together. And I remember when these originally came out, some people were on the fence about them. They kind of didn't like the shoe and everybody wasn't just happy, go lucky about the 7210s. And then you obviously give it some time removed. Next thing you know, everybody loves the shoe and they want to have them and they're going up in price. You know how it typically goes. So with all that being said, throughout the video, I'm going to be breaking down the differences and similarities between these two shoes. And honestly, I feel like they did a really good job replicating the high top version into the low top version. Starting with the bottom of the shoe, you have your classic Air Jordan 11 outsole, your black pods and your creamy white translucent outsole right there. You got a red and black carbon fiber with the white jump man and white pods just below that. And then you have your classic Air Jordan 11 midsole and all white and then go into the upper. All the upper. I feel like they did a really good job when it comes to this shoe overall, when it comes to just the quality of materials. I feel like that's why I say a lot of people slept on this sneaker because they're going to realize once they get these in hand, like damn, these are actually really nice. So when it comes to the patent leather on the sneaker, it has kind of that iridescent marbling kind of vibe to it. And that is very similar to the high top version as well. Then you have a nice tumbled black leather and a black suede, almost kind of like a felt type material when it comes to the eyelets. And then a little bit here on the back end. Now, this is something that a lot of people always make fun of because this is just a itty bitty, tiny Air Jordan Jump Man logo right here. But they had to find somewhere to put the branding and typically on Jordan 11 lows, they always put a little Jordan Jump Man on the back right here. And then you have your Air Jordan 23 just above that. These come standard with a pair of fat black laces that you always see on Air Jordan 11s. You again have some more premium tumbled leather here in all black. With your Air Jordan 11 branding in the center of the tongue and a red jump man, just like the first pair that we saw. And then on the sock liner, you got all black with a black insole and a red jump man. And this is a hit that's just like the high top version as well, super dope touch. It says, inspired by the most historic season led by the greatest player ever, AKA Michael Jordan. I'll leave the LeBron versus Michael Jordan debates down below in the comment section for you guys on that one. So overall, those are gonna be some detailed shots and some in-hand looks giving you guys a better view at this sneaker if you haven't seen these in person yet. They just came out so I could understand why people may not have seen them or if they're interested in grabbing the shoe. But now let's compare them to the high tops real quick and show you guys some more side by sides just so we can understand how similar these are to the high tops. Now obviously the boxes are gonna be a little bit different. This is more of your modern Air Jordan 11 box and this is giving you a classic retro OG style. But when it comes to the two shoes looking at the outsole's pretty similar, but when you look at the carbon fiber, way different. The carbon fiber on the high top is a lot more smooth and the carbon fiber on the low top is a lot more textured. Let me know which style you guys like more down below in the comment section. Now looking at the midsole's and the patent leathers, they honestly look very, very similar. Even the leather and the suede's and the hits on the upper as well, those all look pretty much identical. The Jordan brand branding on the tongues, very similar. Like we talked about the back of the tongues with the 7210, same exact patch. And then on the back end of the shoe, on the high top version, the 23 is stitched and then on the low top version, it's more of a plastic 23 that's kind of heat pressed on there. And then you got your plastic jump man in all red. And then this red on the jump man on the high top has a little bit more of a metallic sheen to it. But besides that, pretty similar. So when it comes to the highs versus lows, which one do you like more? Honestly, this is a hard one because originally I was thinking like, oh, I might like the highs more. But typically when it comes to the OG 11's and the OG colorways always go with the OG highs, but the low top, the low top just might be the wave when it comes to this particular colorway. I think I'm gonna go with the low tops on this one. Let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section. Another question that I love to ask the people in every video is if they think this shoe is fire or trash. So if you haven't already, make sure you follow me on IG so you can participate in the polls and see all the results here on the channel. This is what they said. 66% of the people chose fire and 34% of the people chose trash. I completely understand there's gonna be a lot of reasons why people don't like this shoe. It's not an OG high, it's not an OG colorway. You know, just a lot of different reasons. A lot of people wanna spend more money on different shoes. I think the retail on these was like $190 too. So $190 for a low top 11 that could potentially push people away from it too. I completely understand that. But that brings me to the next topic, the price of this shoe and what's gonna happen in the future because people always wanna know what are these gonna be worth? One, two, three, four, five years from now. If you look at the history of the Air Jordan 11 lows over the past years, you always find that same type of trend. Not that many people want them when they first came out. And then give it about a year or two and it's like, ooh, I remember those. And they wait three or four years and the shoe is like $400 or $500 and you're like, when did this happen? Like why is this shoe $350, $450? I'm so confused. Like nobody wanted those not that long ago. I think this is gonna be that prime example of that sneaker and we're gonna look back a couple years from now to see how much this shoe was going for. But I have, to me personally, I have without a doubt, I feel that these are gonna be at least $275, probably pushing mid 300s by the next couple years and then give it some more time and you never know, they might be messing around 350, 400 bucks. But again, we shall see, but I just feel like that's what's gonna happen. So let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section. And if you wanna grab this shoe, I think it's gonna be pretty easy to grab for retail or you might even be able to find a used pair for under retail market value right now. Give it a little bit of time over the next couple months and the next thing you know you got a pair in your collection to rock. But I would say, if you do have them, don't beat them up because these could potentially be some bangers down the line and you're like, damn, I'll beat them up and I wanna get another pair and I should have just took care of them a little bit better. I would say, still take care of these, you know, wear them obviously but definitely take care of these because I got a feeling about this shoe for some reason. I don't know, I feel like a lot of people are sleeping on this.
