The Air Jordan XI (11) is the shoe which Michael Jordan could not wait to wear in the 1995 NBA Playoffs. It was the Concord Jordan XI sneakers which Boyz 2 Men wore with Tuxedos to the 1996 Grammy awards. It was the Jordan XI / XII pack which was rushed to have an early release date to please holiday shoppers. And now… we see an unreleased sample Jordan XI (11) Mid in a Citrus colorway. This sample pair was produced over six-years-ago! Aside from the colorway not being released, this pair has a plastic Jumpman on the upper, and the word Jordan is spelled out (in plastic) down the lacelets of the sneakers!

Thoughts?


The Air Jordan 11 Mid is one of a few sneakers that have not been over-saturated with colorways (the low tops are another story). Instead, Nike and Jordan Brand has used a patent leather mid-sole and a partial carbon fiber sole to create hybrids or micro-brands, such as the Jordan Six Rings and Nike Zoom Phenom.

  3. Boy, I wish MJ and other media would stop talking about how "Boys to Men" wore XI's with a suit! Big deal! Hell, I didn't know they did until 10 years after they did it. And it sure as hell would not have made me want to cop them because it! They're just hot kicks! Stop already.

    And for historical purposes MJ and those who don't know the FACTS, it was The Fresh Prince, aka Will Smith, who made wearing Jordan's with suits "fly" back in '90! That was original. No one had done that before on TV. Boys to Men were just copy-cats! Check the re-runs for those who are young to actually remember it!!

  8. i hope to g-d these do not drop. i hate plastic jumpmans…the color is ok and i am not a huge fan of the jordan on the lace eyelids. that being said, the sample in the sole collector of concord with red bottoms should be the retro+ to drop and the columbia would be dope!

  9. These are nothing special, and Atltwen is right, nobody cares that boys to men wore these, I remember when Mike pulled em out against Orlando in the 95' playoffs and got finned for wearing them and the #23 while it was still technically retired, but these arent hot, its just the fact that they are XI's,

  14. I like them, but like some of the other commenters I think that they would look better without anything on the lacelets. those big plastic letter make'em look cheaper

  19. Man I hope they release these….. These remind me of my junior high days when I had the white/carolina blue ones. I hope they catch on that they need start back retro-ing the J's.

  24. The colorway isn't that great. I would much rather have either the space jams, columbias or the new xi from the countdown package.
