With the Air Jordan 2011 debuting during this 2011 NBA All Star weekend, we knew to expect some special releases and maybe even suprise colorways during the ASG, but these two deluxe packages come as a huge surprise. Then again, when Jordan Brand showed off its ‘For the Love of the Game’ collection back in August, both Air Jordans VII and IX released in heartsketball-embroidered editions complete with Skull Candy headphones. And now the same has happened with the Skull Candy x Air Jordan 2011 and AJIII Retro, both of which will release in impressive special packages, come complete with matching Skull Candy Aviator headphones you won’t be able to get anywhere else. The AJ2011 joints feature mismatched cans to mimic the 2011′s Quick/Explosive interchangable insoles, while the ‘White Cement’ Air Jordan 3 version goes for a more obvious look, adding black Elephant print to a white base. Click through to see both pairs, let us know which one’s better and for those of you in the SoCal area, look for these to hit Footaction at Westfield Culver City where a tiny run of each will be available Saturday at 10am.

Sucks that Skull Candies suck

I love the 2011 Air Jordans as much as anyone but does anyone find it weird how Wade switched back to the 2010's the Christmas day game and this last game they just played?
February 18th, 2011 at 3:57 am
wow, I need this!
February 18th, 2011 at 4:23 am
The packs retail and are going to sold for $599. That's insane. For a pair of 3's that we all just picked up for $130 for? Or the 2011's that are a gr that retail for $190? Cause it comes with headphones? So we're paying $400+ for some skullcandy headphones??? Hell no. Just a straight rip off by Jordan Brand Trying to take advantage of a plastic case. Woo hoo I'll pass.
February 18th, 2011 at 6:11 am
Where's the packaging for the 3's?!? I can say everytime I see those 2011 they grow on me just a bit, headphones too basic (maybe that's the point???)
February 18th, 2011 at 6:17 am
I love the concept except ppl are gonna go waaay to far with the prices. When the VII and IX packages
released they were goin for like 700+ smh
February 18th, 2011 at 7:40 am

February 18th, 2011 at 10:19 am
skull candy…… they could have at least chose a brand with more class…
February 18th, 2011 at 10:28 am
Beats by Dr.Dre are better but the cement head phones are hard
February 18th, 2011 at 11:09 am
THUMB UP
February 18th, 2011 at 11:36 am
Diggin the cement headphones and the 3's…but I already got those like most on here. Skull Candy looks good but is below par. Not worth the money to me. Nice packaging tho. Why can't they make normal J's come in this package since we are paying soooo much for leather and rubber? …ok I am done venting.. TGIF!!
February 18th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
There being sold for 499 not 599 but honestly it doesnt matter on my end because im not getting them for that RIDICULOUS price lol & i stay near that mall. The packs themselves are cool tho but that tag is not.
February 18th, 2011 at 2:26 pm
totally agree with you man. Those headphones can not be worth 100's of dollars and we already know what the Jordan cost. Where did they get this cost from? Someone explain to me what type of headphones are these that deserve that cost?
I guess this is straight up for collectors.
February 18th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
only 23 made (III). Thats enough for me to want one! I just came from Foot Action and that case was dope. weighed like 10 pounds.
February 18th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
have u heard of the word "glimpse" or "promo"?
February 18th, 2011 at 7:05 pm
Whoever knows about the sound knows Beats by Dr.Dre is overrated. Audiophiles don't respect that hyped up company. Audio Technica, sennheiser, AKG, Bose all these historical companies over the overrated 'love from chinese' Beats by Dr. Dre. I was just wondering, why do all these chinese get easily hyped up of something?
February 18th, 2011 at 7:53 pm
Ya'll haters need to get educated on the higher end Skull candy products http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/535380/ces-da…
February 18th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
I like skull candy, and i like jordans as well..if you like? cop. if you don't like? don't cop. but seriously, AJ3's=more or less $200. SC headphones?=about 80$…HYPE?=$500
and if they made the headphones Beats by Dr. Dre? Expect the prices to go more than 1G
February 18th, 2011 at 10:57 pm
Beats by Dr.Dre are highly overrated/overpriced. Audiophiles put Bose, Audio Tech, Sennhei, AKG above Beats by Dr.Dre.
February 19th, 2011 at 12:36 pm
mate, im chinese myself.. n i dun even understand why tht is… it really is sad…. especially in hong kong..
February 19th, 2011 at 2:58 pm
I just picked one up (III's) at Foot Action (#13/23), size 12.5. Boy are they sexy! 2nd to last one they had! Last one was a size 8.5.
Someone offered me $800 outside the door. I think I'll sit on these for a while. The case for the III's are way nicer. Red cover on the inside with a black cover on top. Gorgeous!
February 20th, 2011 at 7:59 pm
i would have jumped on that $800 fo sho!!!!!!…….
