“Black/Red makes everything look good. The XI IE Low didn’t need any help with that, but seeing them debut in the coveted Black/Red colorway was awesome.” – Chris “Nightwing” Chase

“Back when lows were lows and actually featured a whole new upper thus making it a new model. Not just a take down of the mid version. This shoe was so dope to me because I remember watching the 1996 Playoffs, in particular the second round against the Knicks, and you could see MJ wearing them. This was no easy task as I had to catch it on NBA on NBC on a TV with semi bad reception as it was using an antenna.” – Brett Golliff
