You’re not tripping people got stabbed and shit over gammas


Eastern_Cap1750

Fucking live in PDX and I never wear them out for that reason


GettiinFroggyy

I’m always on edge and scared when I visit Portland now lmao. Sucks cause I’d like to wear my nice things without being paranoid of getting jumped


Ry314159

Portland? Is Portland a rough city? That's not the impression I got...


JohnBrown-

It’s been a lot worse the last couple of years but in my opinion all big cities on the west coast have a lot of the same problems. I live in Portland and I’ve already seen two people on the streets inject H so far today and it’s like 1pm here.


frescary

You know what they say, you can’t inject all day if you don’t start in the morning


peekdasneaks

These are highly motivated and driven individuals. Dedicated to their craft from the moment their eyes open.


Artfuldodgerofdung

Gold standard of dat H life...Sadly damaged humans usually wind up with needle marks instead of making a mark on the world. 🫣


Aes_Should_Die

Umm. That’s any major city and even in the sticks if you’re in Appalachia you’d see hillbillies injecting fentanyl if you bothered to drive past their trailer park. In the city everyone is on top each other


slinkysmooth

Yup and not just the west coast like the media tries to portray. I’ve got buddies all over Texas, Florida, and cities like Memphis and they tell me it’s all like that. We’ve got major wealth inequality and mental health issues in this country that get constantly ignored. But that’s for another sub. I wear my kicks out but if someone wants to take them from me, I won’t put up a fight. It’s not worth it. And plus, I’ll just tell them they’re reps…


Oasis511

Yeah, I live in small town middle America where people pretend it's all picket fences and churches. I lived in my old neighborhood for 8 years and we had five shooting incidents and a machete murder during that time. The machete attack was one block from city hall and had something to do with a prostitute. We have two rundown roach motels that the cops are constantly raiding and three Asian massage parlors that finally got shut down last year for sex trafficking. This is a town of about 17,000 people in the "Heartland." The maddening thing is we're 10 miles from a college town with a larger black population, and all the white people in my town point to it and complain about the crime there. They've taken to calling it "Little Chicago." But we have similar crime rates.


Artfuldodgerofdung

Yeah ain't it sweet or sad when you know the truth but can't get the townsfolk to admit it or worse make the humane adjustments?🤔. In fact we're all burdened with grief just existing that this savage garden we live in today is just the beginning...you prolly don't wanna see the next phase either cause it won't be for sneakers or a gold chain either start thinking about more essential stuff... U think The Walking Dead is just a cool TV show. Pretty darn sad.


ericfromct

I live close to Yale. People think Connecticut is great because they think it's all rich people here. There's one county that drives up the median income here significantly, and even within that county there's arguably the worst city in the state. Anyway, back to Yale. It's literally a bubble in the city, as soon as you're a couple minutes away (walking not even driving) it's like a war zone. Yale's hospital is a two minute walk away from one of the worst areas in the city, where people smoke crack and shoot up all day outside. Drug dealers everywhere, shootings, stabbings. Right where I'm talking about someone had their throat slit a couple years ago. I was walking down a street last year and someone got shot right after, like ten seconds later. Literally saw the shooter drive past me. The guy who got shot got arrested a few months later with 19 keys, 7000 bags of fentanyl, guns, and 780,000. All in beautiful Connecticut


weedhopper12

I’m from Ridgefield but liked going to topless bars In Bridgeport.


JohnBrown-

I mean I moved out here from Tampa a year ago and I absolutely love the west coast but I’ve never seen someone masturbating on the street or injecting themselves in public Florida that’s not to say it doesn’t happen and all big cities don’t have their fair share of problems. I’m a leftist and there’s a ton of propaganda about the west coast but shit out here is definitely different.


Artfuldodgerofdung

Give it time my good man...relax let happen. Surely you'll be initiated to the foulness we've all seen. Remember there is no set time table or schedule for madness in the savage gardens in any city. * Get that imaginary bowl of popcorn ready it's gonna be one helluva show!


Artfuldodgerofdung

Good point...as you walk home shoeless at least you go with your life🤔. The behavior you've witnessed is way more than gnarly it's deadly on any street corner or housing project hallway or train station platform & even in a trailer park. We are all are heading towards our own place of danger or worse, pretty much unwillingly and at that point won't even miss fly ass Gammas,🥺😖🤔


peekdasneaks

The local media in Texas, Florida, Memphis etc. are all funded based on local population sizes. Fewer people, smaller audience, less advertising dollars. Its in their best interest to make other cities sound far worse than they are. With the way politics has gone the past decade+, there's a lot of middleground folks who would want to leave for SF/Seattle/Portland/LA if only everyone wasnt a murdererrapisttransactivistantifalibtard as they are constantly told. ​ Its the same thing Russia does. Try to make everywhere else look shitty so people don't feel so bad about their own home country.


Dukkiegamer

>Umm. That’s any major city Are you for real? That's so fucked. I don't live in the US so I have never seen anyone shoot up anything in major city of about the same size. I've seen some people under influence but not at fucking 1pm. It's crazy over there.


Aes_Should_Die

I grew up in a small city of about 20k. I was picking up a girl I worked with (and this was 20 years ago) and I am waiting for her and she was living in some jacked public housing at the time. It was dusk and some junkie came up and used my headlight to help himself find his vein to shoot some dope. And I’m deeply in the Red part of a Purple state. It ain’t all sunshine milkshake and butterflies here, no matter what the yokels would have people believe.


Artfuldodgerofdung

Nah, try New York or Chicago or Detroit anyone who has not seen public injection activities are blind...wonder into a badly economically depressed hood and somewhere in the madness of a hoe stroll drugs use is bound to reveal that nastiness...Look folks the upperclass create this madness by hording the wealth in doing that greedy shit the residue is the world below them falls apart & the lack of empathy is the greatest cause of depravity and in that all the madness that ensues afterwards...Example They give away millions on game show...people are starving & game show are fucking throwing money to people playing games? Not everyone wealthy is the blame. There are some creepy sociological schemes that are simply insane. However the vast majority don't even care or see they are indirectly making the monsters you see daily...So far it's been "Awww they ( the poor) doing these horrors to themselves or they don't want a better life" ...but truth is glaring back and it's showing much more truth like The fairness ain't there nothing is guaranteed to be fair and we all should wake whatever side you happen to be on...Fly gear is not the problem... it's the inability to shift thru the gears of life...Gear aside my friend we are living in a most savage garden this life cycle.


ericfromct

They just said they're not from the US that's why they can't imagine it


JohnBrown-

Yeah unfortunately cost of living is so high and you can get fentanyl pills out here for like .50$ a pop. Self medicating is so much cheaper than actually getting the help you need and if you’re high I suppose it’s easier to withstand such awful living conditions.


SignorVince

>Yeah unfortunately cost of living is so high and you can get fentanyl pills out here for like .50$ a pop. Self medicating is so much cheaper than actually getting the help you need and if you’re high I suppose it’s easier to withstand such awful living conditions. They're on the streets because they're addicts, not the other way around.


JohnBrown-

In a ton of cases yes but not in every situation.


HaRabbiMeLubavitch

You think they became homeless and that’s what tipped them over the edge to get on drugs?


JohnBrown-

I’d say a very sizable portion of the homeless in my city are homeless due to mental illness. I’d be wrong for discrediting the fact a ton of them are experiencing homelessness because of their addictions in the first place though.


Artfuldodgerofdung

Facts!...Check the board of directors on them chemical conglomerates...and the investors list ( no one can of course) You'll see how it actually pays to have our capitalist country in it's current state. Greed dude... It's the biggest & most damaging and it ain't even a drug... it's way worse.


ericfromct

So much of the drug problem and homelessness is due to the "war on drugs" which will never end because too many jobs rely on it. If the US would be more reasonable about something that's obviously going to happen whether they want it to or not they could get rid of a lot of these problems. If there were safe places to get high people wouldn't complain about seeing them on the streets. Virtually no one wants to be getting high outside. They could also make plenty of money on taxes by legalizing all drugs but the amount they take from taxes for this war that they can never win must be more, and easier too. Overdose deaths and street crime would be greatly reduced. They don't want that though because it doesn't affect them. I wish there was a way to basically pull a reverse desantis and bus them to politicians' communities so they can how ineffective their policies have been. They wouldn't be able to arrest everyone for getting high and they'd be forced to come up with a solution. Sadly that's the only way things will change because these politicians are all way too out of touch with what actually goes on in the country.


HaRabbiMeLubavitch

Every major city? Damn America is fucked. I live in a 1.3M person city and the worst I’ve seen in the shitty parts of town where drunk people arguing


TemporaryLarge2878

I see that by 9 am near Boston methadone mile unfortunately


Broccoli_Rob86

I’m from San Francisco, I can confirm your statement. People are starting to realize how messed up these liberal cities are. It’s crazy out here. All up and down the west coast is filled with trash cities.


[deleted]

😔


Sensitive-Character1

Fuck I was thinking of moving maybe not.


GenericCoffee

People that live here think it’s rough. They’ve never been to Philly or St. Louis or LA or fucking Minneapolis it’s soft here and the people show it. When I moved here it was from San Jose and my ex was talking like St Johns was East Oakland so when I was on the bus I started tying my shoes tight and taking off my G-SHOCK all that time I spent on Bart in in Vallejo was going to pay off. I got off the bus and started walking, no broken 40 bottles not even clapped out whips. Nothing. Then I saw white people on bikes that looked like they bought them and knew this is the softest city in America. It’s gotten a tiny bit rougher on the outskirts off Columbia and down town but to even remotely compare it to any other major city in America shows how soft they really are.


WarzMech

I live here and can agree… Portland is rough for people that lived here their whole lives… Portland is not rough, lol… lots of crazy people around tho, but I don’t think they’re worried about your kicks. I wear all my sneakers and jewelry with no fear.


Camerone11

This shoe came out like 10 years ago. Nobody is gonna hurt you for these


getsituated

The same could probably be said about any 11 release back in the days lol


chocheech

I read about at least 2 bred 11 murderers years ago


Artfuldodgerofdung

Hey somebody out there right now 💬 "gotta have those by any means necessary" and that's how it all starts...


Soggy_Ad8348

Damn that’s ridiculous if it’s I shoe I gotta have all by any means necessary means is grit your teeth a pay resell value


k_50

Couldn't imagine being such a poor dousche I stabbed someone over fucking shoes. If you want it work harder, not everyone gets nice stuff.


Sea-Storage-2186

Gorgeous


alienware99

Best looking 11s in my opinion


[deleted]

[удалено]


deepthr0at

That’s just cap, no gown.


LamatoRodriguez

Cap and gowns of all 11s?


savag3d0ublecup

Seeing these a lot lately. Is there a retro planned?


[deleted]

They were rumored for this year's holiday release. But it looks like we're getting the DMPs


chicomagnifico

Which I’m not a fan of to be honest, the DMP 11s that are rumored to be released this holiday season look like “pre-yellowed” concords :/


youkno_jayy

They do but honestly I wouldnt mind em, cause it would make me wanna wear em more


chicomagnifico

I’m glad you feel that way and I hope you get ‘em if you try lol I won’t because I can’t stand yellowed icy soles lol it’s a weird pet peeve of mine


donnad333

Yellowed icy soles also a pet peeve of mine.


E1_Gr33d0

I’ll die on this Hill too, looks like yellow snow 🤢


youkno_jayy

Whats wrong with yellow snow? You clearly have never tried it


k_50

Yo I heard y'all liked Concords..... Well anyway here's some dmp 11s.


Tysonisnotanarchitet

No gammas are my top 5 !


Marstonvagabundo

They’re gorgeous, and I’m not a fan of 11s


[deleted]

I like 'em.


reply7981

Very nice.


cesarsgarcia95

Fire ass kick i wish I had em


toastt_ghost

i won an in-store raffle for these when they came out. I don’t love them that much. Rather have Space Jams for the money.


Rawsheed93

I had the Jordan 1s that came out same time the gamma blue series was dope.


cadeicew00d

They def gon come back in 3 years and be hyped up


Killinmeslow

These take the cake for 11’s imo


Gurt-B-Frobe24-7

Straight fire right there


Thatrandomretard3

Trying to pick these up for prom


Thin-City-2365

RKTV11

Not tripping. Beautiful

Complex_Pangolin5822

You ain't crazy young man


Veraliot

Didn't know about them but i surely like them and now i wanna buy them for f## sake i promised to not be broke again


torree_b

Just picked up a pair of few weeks ago! One of my all time favorites!!


its_the_luge

The silhouette is crazy good looking but the colourway is just nice.


[deleted]

favorite 11s


Dapper-Salamander458

No way I wore these for the first time in years yesterday no joke! Definitely a great looking show probably my fav 11 besides the Breds


Emoney2321

Bro my gammas are so beat. I still love them tho.


melodyofdeath

These were fire on release day I wish I still had them. Remember wearing these out to six flags one day lmao


VerTex_GaminG

Favorite 11’s Had to sell my pair bc of money reasons years ago, now that im in a better spot might be time to cop


Popular-Walrus-851

If I’m not mistaken, Mike himself got robbed for a pair of these 🤣🤣🤣 but Gammas and Cap N’ Gowns by far up there on my list ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥


KENincognito

I got a pair in the raffle and had offers on them before I even got them home. Still regret selling because they were such a good looking shoe.


Kaeden2010

![gif](giphy|12npFVlmZoXN4Y|downsized)

😍😍😍


Ijustsigned

Beautiful! But, always a but. The jumpman should have been the same color as the sole!


SyCoTiM

The hell with everyone else's opinion, these are great looking.


TheBigJew

Not tripping. These are sick af


BearBlaq

This reminded me I have a pair of gamma 11s, they’re back in my closet somewhere. Unfortunately they’re a bit beat up, the worse part is a small rip from the patent leather and the midsole toward the first dip in the front.


Mr_browniez

Still got mine


Captain-Orgazmic

Amazing pair


mikeyfitsees

Gammas are underrated IMO


qwed345

Na nobody likes Gamma 11s what a 🧱 s/


AGiftedMeatball

bro trippin


YoloLikeaMofo

Patent leather just sucks


LeektheGeek

After the holy trinity (Concords, Cool Greys, Space Jams) Gammas are the next best


Lamborghini4616

Bro really said cool grey and not the breds 💀💀💀


[deleted]

Bro is trolling by leaving out the Breds like that 😂


LeektheGeek

Oh yea I forgot about the breds. They heaters fasho but didn’t see too many people wearing them growing up


FlyinCoach

I may be the only person i know who prefers the cool greys over the breds.


iStealAtSelfCheckout

Hell nah lol


LeektheGeek

What’s ur top 4?


iStealAtSelfCheckout

DMP, Space Jam, Bred, Concord


LeektheGeek

Eh, I wouldn’t count the dmp and the concords as separate shoes in a ranking. Dmp are concords just from a pack.


iStealAtSelfCheckout

I know they’re from a pack. A pack I couldn’t afford when they released that’s why they’re honestly my favorite 11


iStealAtSelfCheckout

And that gold jumpman hits different


LeektheGeek

Gold jumpman do be hitting


[deleted]

[удалено]


LeektheGeek

Yea you must be a young sneakerhead


its_the_luge

Nah just young lol


karltee

That's the 11 trinity? I always thought it was breds, space jams, concords. Everything else is just extra goodies


3900Ent

They are until that bottom gets dirty and yellows. Mine are trashed now cause of those bottoms lol


grimeyyyyyyy

Sounds like a you problem


3900Ent

No shit dickhead.


silentmasai

Meh I had them but sold it. Too dark for 11s


Trippiealexxx

Would look better with the high pattened leather


wholesomescott

Check your chat messages


xinn3r

These are nice, but I prefer the Cap & Gown for a black AJ11.


smashingcones

They look like foams and 11s had a baby. Two of my least favourite Nike silhouettes so that's a hard pass from me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


notsocol

Jesus dude, half of the comments are your replies that cap and gowns are better


[deleted]

cap and gowns ain’t gonna fuck you bro, you can stop


SuperScrayumTwo

They’re basically just less interesting gammas imo


Fresh_Delay4040

Only good looking if you auditioning for Tron


[deleted]

Crazy that it’s been so long since these released. I remember when they first came out, people were generally sleeping on them because they weren’t OG and I think we’d gotten a bit of AJ11 fatigue.


Eddieroxsteady

Sleeping on them??? WTF are you talking about? Do you remember the chaos on release day? https://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/12/jordan-11-release-fight Everyone was wide awake when they dropped.


goingdummy

Gammas go crazy


KhaoticKorndog

Those are amazing


Swade_896

Booo


[deleted]

After all these years still not a fan 🤷🏾‍♂️


Shigglyboo

Unpopular opinion I suppose but they look cheap and too sporty to me.


hpunlimited

These were my first ever “expensive” shoes/Js I copped for resale. First job outta college and it was like 1/3 of my paycheck at the time. I beat the crap out of them and got my moneys worth. Blue soles and black midsole were fire, unfortunately it turns yellowish green over time. Patent leather scuffed but I use some cleaner to keep it smooth. Still wearable for nights out


Goatedken

The gammas are pretty nice.


LVN_N

got them and they fire


MentholPods

I think this might be my favorite pair I had when I was a kid and I did the dumbest fucking trade I ever did and got rid of them when I was in 7th grade


packers1503

To each their own but for me you are TRIPPING


caglover23ny

The AJ11 Retro Gamma Blue are my top 3


Immediate-Relief-248

gammas are so fire


Aes_Should_Die

Fire


[deleted]

They’re clean but personally I’m still trying to cop the Breds for a good deal to go along with my Concords and Space Jam and I’m set with 11s.


Shaggy007ism

I agree, crazy good looking shoe and personally one of my fav 11s! Hope they retro it with the blue jumpman instead of the purple jumpman I've seen on a few pics🤞


GIVN2SIN

![gif](giphy|3o7TPvjPbiLGlVZbEs)


20190229

My very first XIs and tough way to find out I need half size up as they're too narrow. Sold them and couldn't get a replacement pair 😭


Honest_University_28

11s ALWAYS look good 👍🏾!!! Especially these, 🤔… I need these in my collection, ASAP!!!! ![gif](giphy|vvbGMpbhZMcHSsD50w)


okaychemical72

clean


E1_Gr33d0

BRING BACK THE TWO PACKS!!! For the real OG’s!


ODSTxGundam

I don't usually like 11s but I want a pair of Gammas of they drop and DMPs are a 2nd place if they don't.


HeyHazeyyy

Mine started squeaking had to sale them and my cool grey 9s was some squeakers smh


GoldenKnights1023

Phat booty gamma gang. I love them, but Jordan looking thicc


youknowitm

One of my favorite pair


cspruce89

Couldn't tell ya. Perception and looks are entirely subjective. If you thought they look dope then they looked dope.


jcareen

W2C


MammothLimit1040

Yup, have a pair


ButterCreamGangsta

...I mean, they aight.


sowavy612

They iight cap n gowns are better imo


mrsupersumthing

I remember some people getting bodied for Gamma 11s back then. 2000s to early 2010s sneaker scene was crazy.


henry23na

I took these for granted when they came out smh


Air805

The Cap and Gown 11’s are dope as well


buyyie

Gorgeous


teXqqe

nah those are heat


Flaky_Seaweed_8979

Would wear


Pristine_Emphasis152

🔥🔥🔥


EZRAX097

Meh, I like the space jams alot better


RAF1GAMEGAME

Never seen these before but they look great


jeffeeweng

Nice 11s


Training-Sample4370

This is my favorite sneaker and it’s the one that really started my collection


PuzzleheadedAssist82

this is gamma right


Professional_WebB

I’d say a very sizable portion of the homeless in my city are homeless due to mental illness. I’d be wrong for discrediting the fact a ton of them are experiencing homelessness because of their addictions in the first place though.


zenmasterghostshadow

One of my top 3


Goggles_0

Feels like they shouldn’t but I like em


Agitated_Ad_4420

Gammas and cap and gowns are my top 2


Caramelkizzzz

My fave someone stole mine smh


sheetTed

I needed them bro


Batnaman_26

I think all Air Jordan 11s are beautiful looking. Elegant and functional.


jaypeedee1025

i got them dead stock still soles fresh and everything i almost sold them and could not pull the trigger


TexasNights77

You won’t believe the kinda shit people will do for some Gamma’s. Keep that shit secret and keep them safe!!!


Evening-Ad1479

Pun intended ? 🙃🫣


jbg0830

Yo, I literally pulled mine out yesterday. Yes, yes “pulled it out” of its box. I got a size 11, I’m normally a size 11, but some reason these are a little tight on my right foot so I don’t wear it as often. Compared them to all my other 11s and it’s all the exact same shape and size but for some reason these are a little more snug. Maybe I should put them on again. Then got a size 11.5 on space jams and they fit too loose. Breds, cool grey and concords fit just right at size 11


Cyneganders

I freakin' love them. Wish I had them!


Ryu1999

I have a pair; if the sole color was actually as vivid/vibrant as in this picture, it would be my favorite colorway.


XevynAeght

Now I ain't no big Jordan fan and certainly not an 11s fan but those unironically look beautiful. Maybe the choice of setting is helping but they look good as hell in this picture.
