Tonight, the NBA tipped off the new season tonight and like many opening nights, the top NBA stars took the court showcasing their new sneakers for the NBA season. The Boston Celtics took the court before the opening game to receive their rings for the 2007-2008 NBA Championship wearing gold and green sneakers. Ray Allen stepped onto the court in what could be argued to be the craziest pair of White/Metallic Gold-Varsity Green Jordan 11 PE’s.
Reactions have been mixed on the boards this evening about the shoes, but why don’t you make the call? Get a good look at the kicks after the jump and vote “Dope” or “Nope” to these shoes.

Of course people will think they are dope, brainwashing is a good thing.
Nope for me.
Oct 28, 2008 at 11:28 pm
the gold throws it off. maybe he should have put green where the gold part is.
Oct 28, 2008 at 11:31 pm
I dont like the XI’s, i like the life style ones that came out a year ago and i like these
Oct 28, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Ehhhh….they’re pretty lame. They look hella fake.
Oct 28, 2008 at 11:34 pm

Oct 28, 2008 at 11:43 pm
seriously people are just saying dope cause they’re 11s. lets be real this colorway is discusting… but ray allen is dope
Oct 28, 2008 at 11:44 pm
HORRIBLE!!! Worst XI’s ever…maybe worst Jordans period. I love some XI’s, but no…just no
Oct 28, 2008 at 11:46 pm
One more thing…people go on about how some shoes that Nike releases are inspired by fakes; you can’t tell me that these aren’t the same
Oct 28, 2008 at 11:47 pm
forget the shoes, look that shot.. pure money
Oct 28, 2008 at 11:49 pm
OH, COME ON NOW, YOU KNOW I’D COP THESE IN A HEARBEAT. RAY ALLEN ALWAYS SEEMS TO GET THE BEST LOOKING KICKS FROM JORDAN. I AM TRULY ENVIOUS, AND JEALOUS…!
Oct 28, 2008 at 11:56 pm
BY THE WAY, I’D PUT GOLD LACES INSTEAD, BUT RAY RAY HAS GREEN ONES AND THEY DON’T LOOK TOO BAD… AM STILL JEALOUS!
Oct 29, 2008 at 12:04 am
the shyts r hard plain and simple like jordan when he came off his 6 championchip ride six yrs and every single year he came hard wit shoe
Oct 29, 2008 at 12:04 am

Oct 29, 2008 at 12:05 am
but still it is green and gold or bronze wouldnt realy cop lol
Oct 29, 2008 at 12:08 am
MATT, ANY CHANCE YOU CAN GET A CLOSER VIEW OF THESE?
WHAT COLOR IS THE JUMPMAN ON THE SIDE OF THE SHOES?
Oct 29, 2008 at 12:21 am
If they were white/green with no gold (the gold part white), i’d like them a lot better. I like Ray, but hate the Celtics. So, maybe I’m just being bias.
Oct 29, 2008 at 12:24 am
now thats pure hotness.
Oct 29, 2008 at 12:28 am
they koo… wouldn’t cop though!!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 12:46 am
I was at the game, and I noticed his kix from a far, them r fresh. love 11s n the celtics, so cnt go wrong…..celtic pridee
Oct 29, 2008 at 12:46 am
dat gold gotsa go green Paten leather would of made the shoe a lil better>
Oct 29, 2008 at 12:47 am
worst 11’s ever. purple and gold would look way better. GO LAKERS!
Oct 29, 2008 at 1:00 am
no, looks like a vegetable
Oct 29, 2008 at 1:13 am
LOL these are crazy… and you know-nothings that are saying “you people jus like these cause theyre jordans” b.s., stop hatin. Thats the Celtics team colors what do you want him to wear your favorite colors regardless of his jersey?508 Til the Casket. Massachusetts STAND UP!

Oct 29, 2008 at 1:55 am
DOPE!!!!!
LOze da green laces n put some whites dey all set hopefully dey release theze to the public
Oct 29, 2008 at 1:57 am
Honest opinion, they look like something you would find in a flea market. If you were to see someone in the streets with those you would swear they are FAKES. Grant it I know they are official but that c/w is not the best. One of the best Jordans to come out but not the best colorway Ray. I know he could have told them he didn’t like them or if he came up with the colorway it shows his style. NOPE!!!!!!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 2:59 am
Y’all bugging! Those look like fakes!
Oct 29, 2008 at 3:00 am
is any retro releasein next year
Oct 29, 2008 at 4:35 am
THESE LOOK DISGUISTING!! but due to the fact that they are PE’s, therfore, extremely rare, all you so called sneaker heads will say you love these. all you losers dont care about is what you like as an individual, but instead, what is limited. MATT- if you would have posted a pair of 11’s in this same exact colorway saying they were an upcoming release, everyone would be flaming on them, cpmplaining about JB and the sick colorways of retros, but no, since ray allen is wearing them, they’re ok. bullsh%t!! ray llen does normally have some of the best PE’s in the league, but as an honest guy, i must say these look terrible, and i know that many of the people who have posted already, would feel the same if these were posted in a different way, and not as a PE (ex. as a fake or new release)
Oct 29, 2008 at 4:55 am
NOPE
Oct 29, 2008 at 5:02 am
THEY MADE THEY WAY BACK,OK COLORS BUT WOULD ROC. BRING BACK THE WHITE AND CONCORDS JB!!!!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 5:46 am
Im sorry but these are WACK!!! if Ray was NOT wearing them and some bamma walking down the street with em on even if they had Sugar Ray on the side you would be like WTF are those LOL. Simple case of celebrity’s/players making you like shoes.
Oct 29, 2008 at 6:43 am
they are not all that but they are ok
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:18 am
mannnnnn, when I saw Ray on da court, I was like what iz he wearing. Then when Rondo went down on his shoulder n Ray came ova n helped, then da camera did a close-up, I was like WOW!
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:27 am
NO WAY! SMH @ people loving ANYTHING having to do w/ the XIs. I shutter to think of what these would fetch on eBay.
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:30 am
would be nice w/o the green
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:40 am
when i was watching the game, i wasn’t sure if those were the XI’s or IX’s. whatever the case, AMAZINGLY FIRE!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:45 am
who cares about the colors any 11’s being rocked…need to be Celebrated
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:49 am
color placing was bad, wish they spent more time on it
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:51 am
Krazy!!!! i was just saying on another post they need player Edition 11’s!!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:57 am
wish i could get some custom 11’s
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:04 am
ima agree with #6 if it was green instead of gold maybe. i get why they did the gold but i just dont like it on these.
#9 how the hell are fusions in a chapionship section of ur “collection”
it should be the playoff colors of the actual shoe not the some crappy fusion
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:05 am
11’s are my faveorite J’s..!!!!!!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:09 am
Is it me, or does Ray Allen get the best PE’s in the game???
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:29 am
wack for the streets, nice on court for the celtics
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:34 am
I’m sorry, but these are so hard. Caked out. The trophy gold patent leather XI for the man with the gold. Enough said.
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:40 am
i think the metaliiic gold kinda tacky sooo…. no thanks.
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:42 am
these are dope and i dont even like the Celtics. (i like ray ray, kg, and pierce, i just dont like the Celtics)
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:51 am
i think they would have looked better with green patent leather
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:55 am
Philly bringing the championship back tonite!!! sixers are next say word
Oct 29, 2008 at 9:03 am
Delonte West needs a haircut…BAD!!!!

Oct 29, 2008 at 9:37 am
Not for me,I’ll pass
Oct 29, 2008 at 9:49 am
them is hella ugly…yal are st8 hype beast if you like them..
Oct 29, 2008 at 9:57 am
a gold BOTTOM with green trimming on the rest of the shoe would have been doper or just. the gold upper and green bottom kinda throws it off…..ALOT. i’m not really feeling these joints.
Oct 29, 2008 at 9:58 am
F**kin Tough
Oct 29, 2008 at 10:15 am
They are crazy. they to nice
Oct 29, 2008 at 10:17 am
YEAH THESE ARE COOL FOR RAY ALLEN TO WEAR WHILE HE IS HOOPING IN A CELTICS JERSEY BUT OTHER THAN THAT THEY WHACK!
Oct 29, 2008 at 10:33 am
not a fan, but I do love me some Celtics
Oct 29, 2008 at 10:34 am
there nice ….if ur playin for the celtics but u would look ridiculous rocking these anywhere else!!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 10:53 am
i dont like da laces but da 11’s is da 2nd to best jordans of all time so i would def roc em they shoudint have put so many colors all white with white laces and some green on it
Oct 29, 2008 at 11:06 am
Any color of the XI’s i love..i would wear these with herringbone necklace..haha..green and gold
Oct 29, 2008 at 11:08 am
Truth of the matter is I’d give my left one to be able to design and have my own favorite Jordans, so I’m not about to hate on a guy for getting to do that. Tack on the fact it’s to commemorate teh championship of which he was a huge part, and I dig his kicks. I’m not a Celtic fan, so I wouldn’t go out and get them, but more power to him.
Here’s a curiosity — would you rather be able to design your own J’s (say, NikeID for the V’s), and create your own unique design that YOU know is legit (ie, not fake), or would you rather be rockin’ J’s as they come out on a limited basis? Seems to me that the attraction to the old school J’s is their limited nature.
Oct 29, 2008 at 11:21 am
THE COLOUR SHOULD BE SWAP
WHERE GOLD IS GREEN…VICE-VERSCA
Oct 29, 2008 at 11:49 am
Considering the fact that they match perfect with his jersey, makes them dope. . .I wouldnt just rock them with anything though. . .only Ray Allen could pull these off. . .
Oct 29, 2008 at 11:55 am
HEAT!! SWEET HEAT!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 11:56 am
dey ok but da gold kinda throw them off to me. I would made dat gold part white. So dey jus woulda been all whilte wit green. But they ok but not nutttin to lose sleep ova doe.
Oct 29, 2008 at 12:37 pm
These are gross! All these need is the ebay bootleg item page & a picture of spongebob square pants to really finish off the fakeness!! Thumbs way down!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 1:16 pm
YALL ARE HATIN ON THESE OF COURSE U WOULDNT WHERE THEM ON THE STREETS. AS FAR AS BASKETBALL THERE FIRE. THEY MATCH AND ITS A DOPE COLOR TO MATCH THE JERSEY. SOME OF YALL R JUST HATERS.
Oct 29, 2008 at 1:25 pm
That Gold looks tacky. clear soles and white laces would’ve looked better.
maybe gold soles instead.
maybe instead of gold patent, they should’ve done green patent.
even on the court it looks tacky. it actually looks fake.
Oct 29, 2008 at 1:41 pm
They are okay, I am glad to see the 11nz back on the court.
Oct 29, 2008 at 2:01 pm
I lost my train of that, after I saw that dummy post “First!”
God, I hate that.
Oct 29, 2008 at 2:01 pm
I lost my train of thought and all of that, after I saw that dummy post “First!â€
God, I hate that.
Oct 29, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Nope. Even if they’re elevens.
Oct 29, 2008 at 2:53 pm
the GOLD amkes it look funny!they shoulda just put the gold part the shiny stuff except white ir green!
Oct 29, 2008 at 2:55 pm
MAN THOSE ARE UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember saying that there’s 1 pack this year that you cant mess up no matter how hard you tried. That was the 11-12 pack. You just cant go wrong with those. But after seeing this? I didn’t think you could make the 11’s look so ugly. Kudos to whoever idea this was. Whoever likes these, thats’s their opinion, but I would wonder why. Is it because they are jordans? As a lifelong Jordan head, i will say this shoe is hideous. I dont care if Mike literally made this shoe with his own hands. THEY ARE TERRIBLE. I could understand gold outsole with green patent. But that would be a stretch too. MAN WHAT A UGLY SHOE!!!!!!!!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 2:56 pm
AND THE NEST DUDE THAT SAYS THE TERM ”HATER” WILL GET ”POWDER SMACKED”
Oct 29, 2008 at 3:22 pm
there dope for him though on the court cant… see anyone wearin these unless you play for the celtics
Oct 29, 2008 at 3:30 pm
The area of the sneakers should have been Black suede.
Oct 29, 2008 at 3:35 pm
the entire shoe should have been black and green, gold gum bottom, now that might have been ok, just a lil.
Oct 29, 2008 at 3:37 pm
classics, speechless with the design
dopeee for suree
Oct 29, 2008 at 3:49 pm
supa ugly. if any one ever wore those they should be smacked. dey look digusting. by far one the worst 11’s ive even seen, fakes included
Oct 29, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Yo these joints is sick. i went crazy in my living room when i saw them. I even had to take like 3 looks at them to understand what was going on. ray allen stay having heat on.
Holla @ me I got beats
http://www.myspace.com/ponomobeatz
Oct 29, 2008 at 4:47 pm
these r hideous
Oct 29, 2008 at 4:56 pm
luv em so much ill cum on da sneakers
Oct 29, 2008 at 5:22 pm
They look like some bootlegs from a gas station colorwise but they dope. He should’ve had white laces instead of green. PEACE
Oct 29, 2008 at 5:39 pm
This Is A Disgrace To All Sneakers, Shame On JB, They Really Hit The Nail On This One
SMH At All The People Saying These Are FIre SMH
Oct 29, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Yo would ya’ll lame cats please stop saying somebody is hating if they don’t like these joints? Since when is it a crime to not like something everyone else does? Its called an opinion and everyone has one just like they have mouths to speak it with. If you dont like what the next man has to say keep it moving but just because someone disagrees with you dont’ mean they are haters it means they just don’t like what you like. That being said I think these 11’s are just ok.
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:08 pm
It’s a hung jury for me
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:15 pm
These are basketball shoes, they are meant to be worn on a basketball court, and as such, these are amazing. Yeah, they wouldn’t look good with a jersey and a fitted, but who in their right mind is still sporting that outfit? The gold is absolutely beautiful and with the touches of green…wow! I’m about ready to declare these the greatest pair of kicks we’re going to see all season, it will be very difficult to top them.
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:31 pm
I’m #100 and I say the shoes are great because they have INSPIRATION behind them. Plus Ray Allen’s been deserving his ring so why not get him a pair of the freshest P.E.’s we’ve seen in a long time. Good Job JB!
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:42 pm
One word: Dope!!!!!
Oct 29, 2008 at 7:43 pm
frsh dope daym this topics hyped
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:08 pm
#
Ehhhh….they’re pretty lame. They look hella fake.
Comment by LiNG LiNG — October 28, 2008 @ 11:33 pm
Sir or mam…may you please re-read the article and understand that P.E. stands for Player Exclusive. that means their typically made just for the player, so chances are they have such a “rare” look, you mayb believe there not real. But i’m pretty sure that a nike/jordan brand championship winner like Ray Allen is offered his fair share of player exclusive colors for his sneakers.
Oct 29, 2008 at 8:35 pm
u guys cant be serious… Good for ray he got his pe’s but yoo they r just ugly. the 11’s are deff one of my favorite jays of all time but get the hell outta here with that colorway they look like those wack olympiads or olympians or w/e… anyways shame on u if u thought they were hot tisk tisk tisk! lol
Oct 29, 2008 at 10:09 pm
wow it dont get much betta w/ PE’s these are crazy for the court…
Oct 29, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Those are TOO DOPE!!!! I wish I was Ray Allen right now…
Oct 29, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Those are simply AMAZING!!! I’d campout for days if those dropped at HOH like the 8’s.
Oct 30, 2008 at 12:21 am
Didn’t think JB could butcher another classic, but thanks for proving me wrong.
Oct 30, 2008 at 12:21 am
Them kicks is only for champions..Team Jordan
Oct 30, 2008 at 12:25 am
True Jordan heads know these is official
Oct 30, 2008 at 12:29 am
To all you clowns, these are cool BECAUSE Ray was wearing them. I wouldn’t wear them, but they bananas because dude just won the championship. He probably won’t wear them again. They also had special jerseys. I think it was a great idea.
Oct 30, 2008 at 12:31 am
agree though that they might have looked cool with green on the mid instead of all that gold, maybe gold trim around the green like the jerseys, and gold laces. Meh, splitting hairs.
Oct 30, 2008 at 12:40 am
one last thing, that gold does have a trophy-like sheen/look to it.
Oct 30, 2008 at 12:40 am
THEY ARE STILL DOPE TO ME
Oct 30, 2008 at 8:50 am
Ay 37 I thought that 1 of the best things about being a sneaker head was having a pair of kicks that no one else has. Think about it
Oct 30, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Sorry thee worst color placement.
Plus stop saying people are hating
when the article is asking for peoples
opinions.
Oct 30, 2008 at 5:57 pm
dope kix 4 the rarity n class shown 2wards the celtic organization..those unis R a threat! u cant go wrong with authentic xi’s matchin a champions uniform. if they came out with limited amounts of these everybody would b all on it. recognize holmes its jesus shuttlesworth with a gold J’s, gold stitchin & a gold ring. represent that
Oct 30, 2008 at 6:11 pm
n yo, after readin sum of ths sht- if U think these kix r horrible, obviously ur not on the level of expert. the rarity usually makes 4 a collectors choice alone! just cuz u got an opinion that u dont like some colors like green n gold dont go bashin the kix, dam! the quality is on of course, they are commemorative & the relevence is mos def. these kicks R dope as phunk. catz is madd cuz they wanna rock em in blue jeans n sht. xi’s r some of the most remembered Js ever! diffrnt authentic colorways only make them jointz better. n dont 4get it
Oct 31, 2008 at 2:38 pm
in love with these
Oct 31, 2008 at 3:59 pm
i’m not feeling these… i only like the 11’s in OG colorways, not these crazy color schemes… smh
Nov 2, 2008 at 9:20 am
UNIQUE!!!!
Nov 8, 2008 at 2:28 pm
If they had clear sole , white laces and green pat instead of gold , for the celtics uniform they would have looked very good ,because the gold makes em look fake
Jun 13, 2009 at 12:03 pm
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
they look fake
