Released during the silver box era in July 2003, the Nike SB Dunk Low Heineken is thought to be an icon in the SB scene as well as a controversial sneaker. The sneakers are inspired by the popular beer brand, Heineken. Despite hitting store shelves 5 years ago, Heinken was not pleased with Nike when they used their signature colors of green, black, white and red and the red star with a white border. One of the reasons we chose to feature the Heineken SB Dunk Low is because it is one of the most sought after Dunks and has becoming harder and harder to find over the years. Today, you can find the Heineken Dunks around the internet and other outlets with prices hitting $400+.

This week in Retrospect we chose to feature a true classic, the Air Jordan 11 (XI) OG Concords. As you know the Air Jordan 6 Rings Concords release tomorrow, so its time to give proper appreciation to what has led a few other Concord Air Jordans to release.

The Air Jordan 11 (XI) Original Concords released in November of 1995, and this was one of the pairs Michael Jordan laced up to help the Chicago Bulls end the 1996 Season with a 72 – 10 record. At the time, patent leather on a basketball shoe was unheard of, but the man and legend Tinker Hatfield wanted the Air Jordan 11 (XI) to look like a convertible on your feet.

Stay tuned to next weeks Retrospect, and good luck to those grabbing a pair of the Jordan 6 Rings Concords.

Retrospect Fridays are back, and since we have just learned the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 is releasing in 2009, we thought displaying the Nike Air Griffey Max 2 (II) OG was only right. The color scheme we have here is the Black / Emerald, a favorite amongst Seattle Mariners fans.

The Nike Air Griffey Max 2 (II) OG Black / Emerald released in 1997, and is the second signature shoe or Ken Griffey Jr. Carbon fiber is featured by the heel, the Ken Griffey signature bat swing is on the heel, and perforated side panel. Also, the Griffey Max 2 was the first in the Griffey line to contain a Air Max Cushioning all around. More pictures after the jump.
