Now I know what you’re thinking: “FAKE!” But no. These Air Jordan XI’s are in fact real samples. The Air Jordan XI (11) Low comes in a black/red (bred) colorway, which is owned by Ceola Clark, a friend of Jeffrey Jordan, MJ’s son. These jays were given to Ceola from Jeff and Michael as a gift. Yes, be jealous, because this sort of stuff actually happens. The Lows follow the bred design just like its retailed predecessor, with a black patent leather and mesh upper, red inner lining, white midsole, and red translucent outsole. If you absolutely need to get your hands on these babies, then go find Ceola at Western Illinois University, where you can challenge him to 1-on-1 for them. Check out the video of Ceola, as he is interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, as part of the dedicated editorial for Hall-of-Famer MJ.

It seems as though ever since Will Smith sported the Air Jordan V “Grape’s” on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the Air Jordan V has become a fan favorite. With the Air Jordan V “Army Green,” Jordan Brand integrated into the model what many love the Air Jordan XI for- patent leather. With a white patent leather upper, army green around the sole, and yellow and brown accents, this exclusive and rare Jordan has become a favorite of many who, for example, also liked the Laser V’s that released a few years back. Check in with us after the jump for more pix and where to purchase this pair of V’s at a reasonable price.

Almost exactly a month ago we showed you prime images of the very coveted Air Jordan 11 “Space Jams” coming out on Black Friday. Well, if you like these anywhere NEAR as much as I do, then the more than two month wait is absolutely unbearable. As is commonplace, pairs of these Space Jams popped up on eBay for ridiculously hiked prices. However, it seems as though other online retailers will be able to answer all of our prayers for both an early opportunity to cop the 11’s and at a more reasonable, yet understandably still hiked, price. Because we can’t get enough of looking at these, there are more pictures and an online source that fits the aforementioned fair description after the jump.

I already know what you’re thinking. These Air Jordan XI (11) Samples look just like the retro releases from 2001. That’s where you’re wrong. The colorway may be exactly the same, but there’s one huge difference…on these samples, there’s a translucent Jordan logo on the tongue. The retros have a plain tongue, and the samples look so much better because of the logo. Any collector would be happy to have these, especially in this pristine condition (peep the icy soles).

Bounce guest blogger and Eastbay Sneakerhead Jordan Hagedorn (Yes, his business card actually reads “sneakerhead”–how bugged is that?) provided an introspective look back at the company’s November ‘95 catalog today over on Bouncemag.com. The issue could be the Wausau, Wisconsin based brand’s most classic ever, as the cover features Santa’s elves polishing up the Air Jordan XI (11) and Reebok Kamikaze Mid. Inside the mag, you’ll see hoops kicks from Nike, Pony, Fila, and British Knight. Images via Jordan Hagedorn and Eastbay

Unfortunate perhaps, but a plethora of Jordan Brand products have shorter shelf lives than Lil’ Bow Wow. Everywhere you look, signature models are cracking and degrading at alarming rates–even MJ himself can’t escape the ol’ “yellow” funk on his Columbia XI (11) Mids that were recently acquired and posted digitally by Alaska shoe buff Phase2. (His momma calls him Jermaine.) The model has been creased, laced, and rocked by the King (Chill, LeBron) making it the dopest player sample product I’ve seen in a New York Minute. Who cares about the discolored soles, anyways? (I hear they build character.)  The model was produced to fit Jordan’s size 13.5 skis and was manufactured in Taiwan.  Only one question remains–how many underfed Taiwanese children were terrorized and bruatlized during the sneaker’s production process to ensure that Mike himself was terrorizing opponents on-court?
