Asking if sneakerheads are excited about the upcoming Air Jordan XI Retro ‘Concord’ release is akin to posing a query regarding the sky’s blueness. This right here is perhaps the single most important sneaker of the entire year, and one that’s sure to make a ton of people happy when they get a pair for Christmas. In fact, many are so geeked on the Concords that they’re willing to pay a premium to get them before anyone else, and that’s where a guy like Air-Randy comes in. The longtime eBay PowerSeller has been hawking his wares through Facebook of late, and judging by the response to his Air Jordan III earlies, these joints will be snatched up as soon as he posts the price and available sizes. But it’s just images for now as we await a confirmed retail price (and the corresponding re-sale hike), so click through to see some new images and stick with Sneaker News for updates on the Air Jordan XI Concord 2011 release.

These pics look alot better, the others made the tint look too blue. I feel better abt these now
July 28th, 2011 at 3:06 pm
so sick! cant wait
July 28th, 2011 at 3:07 pm
Yesssss…..
July 28th, 2011 at 3:08 pm
WTF is up with the icy blue “”clear”" bottoms? Is like they fusion the sole with dasani Water bottles lol … Still a must get tho.
July 28th, 2011 at 3:09 pm
2nd pic looks suspect…. the top of the shoes..
July 28th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Looking good. I'm there!
July 28th, 2011 at 3:12 pm
Id rather wait in line a whole day than pay an extra $100-$200 to a seller. Resale value on these will be ridiculous! that lines starting rite now.
July 28th, 2011 at 3:13 pm
i can hear yall now… oh the patent leather is too shiny the and the white on the upper is too white
July 28th, 2011 at 3:16 pm
The blu sole is nice but I think I like the clear gum better but that’s jus me!!!
July 28th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Blue is ok……………… 2 pair regardless
July 28th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
#letsgetit !!
July 28th, 2011 at 3:17 pm
i hope this is the true Concord 2011,better shape then the other pix,and a lighter shade of blue on the sole
July 28th, 2011 at 3:20 pm

July 28th, 2011 at 3:20 pm
So Sexy!!! Damn
July 28th, 2011 at 3:27 pm
July 28th, 2011 at 3:27 pm

July 28th, 2011 at 3:28 pm
only the hypebeast are siced about these
July 28th, 2011 at 3:29 pm
All I wanna know is how much
July 28th, 2011 at 3:31 pm
Just. Yes.
July 28th, 2011 at 3:32 pm
I don't get it? which way is the jumpman facing? and no concord on the sole? still cant wait though
July 28th, 2011 at 3:40 pm
OVERRATED
July 28th, 2011 at 3:41 pm
MUCH BETTER PICS!!!!!!!!! Those deep blue soles would have been a deal breaker! Surely gettin if these are actually it
July 28th, 2011 at 3:51 pm
2 fuckin fresh, can't wait 2 get these puppies in my hands, i'm pretty sure they're retailing for $180, man, December is gonna fuckin break me, oh well I ain't passin on these or da Last Shots. (Uptempo 2's gettin copped 2).
July 28th, 2011 at 3:56 pm
crazy that’s all i can say
July 28th, 2011 at 3:57 pm
Can't Wait to sniff these out the box Lol
July 28th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
SHUT UP U HYPBEAST CUS OF U I CANT HAV DEEZ I DNT WANA CAMP OUT N U OVVERATED DEM AND PUT TOO MUCH HYPE ON DEM. GET OUA HERE
July 28th, 2011 at 4:00 pm
Soooo….Is it these or the pics from earlier? They are CLEARLY two different shoes. What's the deal? The cut of the patent leather is SOOOO much better on Air-Randy's than the pics from earlier today. Sneakernews….Have more journalistic integrity. Y'all are like TMZ without fact checking. Come ON!!!!!!
July 28th, 2011 at 4:15 pm
Least is a 23 in the back and not a 45
July 28th, 2011 at 4:17 pm
Someone asked me if sneakers can be sexy. Then I shoved a pic of these in their face and in my best Stone Cold Steve Austin imitation yelled, "OH HELL YEAAAHHHHHHH!" LOL!
July 28th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
No such thing, dude!
July 28th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
Early reports say $175 or $180.
July 28th, 2011 at 4:22 pm
they look cheaply made
July 28th, 2011 at 4:27 pm
isnt the 'non-icey' part of the soles supposed to be concord blue? maybe im wrong…
July 28th, 2011 at 4:31 pm
The OGs didn't use a clear gum sole…
July 28th, 2011 at 4:35 pm
oh hot damn, this shoe is my jam
July 28th, 2011 at 4:43 pm
i liked the blue sole on the cool greys but not on these
July 28th, 2011 at 4:48 pm
Sneakernews needs to get Air-Randy and VMV and every other asian retailers tiny dick. Can't you see the soles are black and not CONCORD LIKE THEYRE SUPPOSED TO BE……but no lets ignore things that matter so you guys can get paid for vouching for these ppl and we get a shitty product in return for paying 3X retail…….I FUCKING DONE WITH SNEAKERNEWS
July 28th, 2011 at 4:58 pm
Just cause somebody wants a pair of these doesnt make them a hype beast, we just do not feel like paying over 400 for a pair of pair of concords, we HAVE to wait in line because we don't want to spend that kinda money on the exact shoe.
July 28th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
Wow for the first time I agree with you
July 28th, 2011 at 5:09 pm
feel better.
english please
July 28th, 2011 at 5:09 pm
cant wait till the sole starts to yellow, it will make it look better.
July 28th, 2011 at 5:12 pm
well these are "Air Randy" B-Grades so…
July 28th, 2011 at 5:37 pm
your right… bootlegged as fuck like all the other jordan shit since him and his wife divorced and the whole Michael jordan, Jordan brand divorce. (what u aint know) this is just another example of gentry and the gang following these young fagg hypebeast types. instead of staying true to game. yellow or know yellow I want clear soles. A white and black shoe not a white black and blue shoe. I really dont consider this a collectors shoe. Its just u took what u could get. But do my thing and I'd rather cop 01 retros… Real sneakerhead
July 28th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
no xi's have ever had a "gum sole"
this is a gum sole: http://tinyurl.com/3wypw26
July 28th, 2011 at 6:00 pm
The ignorance is too much. "PUT TOO MUCH HYPE ON DEM." Bruh stfu & get the shoe if you want it. stop worrying about shit being "hyped". Thats hype af. You want the shoe, buy it. Stop bitching.
you need a grammar coach yo.
July 28th, 2011 at 6:02 pm
Overrated, over hyped…. STFU !!!!!!!! You mad because you can't afford them ? Than stay mad. You don't want the shoe, than stay quiet yo. Man I hate these people putting labels on things and making requirements for what people should like and have.
They did good on these though. Not mad at all.
July 28th, 2011 at 6:02 pm
Them Air Randy joints….not Authentic neither are the VMV INC shoes.
July 28th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
exactly
July 28th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
you mad you cant afford em huh ? Thats a hypebeast ass comment.
July 28th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
I wont be doing any business with Air-Randy. VMVinc and Kicks-lab both had Concord bottoms and Air-Randy clearly has black bottoms. I do not care how bad the "lighting" is, you cant get black out of purple…
July 28th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
B GRADE ASS NIGGAAAAA… GTFOH
July 28th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
yooo tooo alll people who consistanly complain about the quality on these retros…shut the fuck up! you know your going to cop regardless. save your breath!
July 28th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
actually i can afford them , thts just ignorant questioning and im not really excited about these like some of yall they nice and all but yall buggin just to get fuckin points … like really grow up and hold ur own , i dnt gotta say "omg i always wanted these" wen they are overrated to me im bein real and i dnt have to follow trends soooo umm give me back my sack please
July 28th, 2011 at 6:40 pm
i was just making fun of his ignorance. I should have put clear or gum sole.
July 28th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
I just hope they aren't made the same as the CDP Black/Red 11's (almost a whole size too small and extremely uncomfortable around the toebox)… Being that its pretty much the same material…
July 28th, 2011 at 6:49 pm
Well said.You took the wordsright from my mouth.
July 28th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
Mr. Emotional over here. I'm sorry I ever said anything to you almighty one. Forgive me for my insolence master.
Lmfao nobodys following trends or took your sack from you yo. Nobody gives a fuck if you think they're overrated. Let people do what they want with their cash and want what they want.
July 28th, 2011 at 7:29 pm
must cop, but bred XI > concord Xi imo
July 28th, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Mr. Emotional over here. I'm sorry I ever said anything to you almighty one. Forgive me for my insolence master.
July 28th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
more for me!
July 28th, 2011 at 8:35 pm
Im glad I can get a 30% discount at any champs, footaction, or footlocker. If i buy 3 pairs all in total would be $378 plus 7% tax. Sometimes even up to 50% discount. Woooooo!
July 28th, 2011 at 8:49 pm
thank god i dont have to pay retail on any jordans i buy i get 30-50% discounts at any champs, footlocker, and footaction. i would pay anywhere from 90-126 for a pair.
July 28th, 2011 at 8:51 pm
your an asshole who cant write ; spell and probably cant speak right ; im sure your going far in life .
July 28th, 2011 at 8:54 pm
THIS !
July 28th, 2011 at 9:37 pm
You both need to improve your grammar in my opinion.
July 28th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
to me honestly one of the ugliest js ever n these look cheap as hell com on people lets not suger coat it sayin da shoes okay its HORRIBLE only reason id buy em is to ell em for more n lets stop the HYPEBEAST over a plain lookin shoes dat got its design from an old lawnmower n looks so much lik da ten dat no one respects
July 28th, 2011 at 9:55 pm
They gone run for $180 just like the Cool Greys and the Space Jams.
July 28th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
Either you gone get em or you not, plain and simple.
July 28th, 2011 at 10:14 pm
GO shop at Payless, betch.
July 28th, 2011 at 10:17 pm
Gonna try and get me 3 pairs of these… Just like I did with the Playoffs 13s. I'll bust out a fresh pair whenever I want to… Won't have to wait 5 years

July 28th, 2011 at 11:34 pm
ignorance is bliss
July 28th, 2011 at 11:38 pm
you must be nobody then since u obviously cared on what i posted or u wudnt be replyin and no one gettin emotional its called stating an opinion
July 28th, 2011 at 11:50 pm
Im so sick of the word HYPEBEAST I could throw up. Shut the hell up with that dumb ass shit.
July 28th, 2011 at 11:53 pm
dumbass the OG's had a blue tint to them so these are just about as close to og as you can get moron!
July 29th, 2011 at 12:17 am
stfu and chill bro. caps are not needed
July 29th, 2011 at 12:32 am

July 29th, 2011 at 1:50 am

July 29th, 2011 at 7:14 am
flabbergasted…
July 29th, 2011 at 8:21 am
lol chill I'm fucking with you
July 29th, 2011 at 9:07 am
Have to wait for pics closer to release date before i decide on coppin!—- Its crazy how people come to a sneaker forum for discussions, but when people go against the consesus opinion, they get bashed for "talking shit" or get told to "shut the fuck up" because they give there point of view on a PUBLIC DISCUSSION FORUM…….shits crazy!….thats not true sneakerhead talk—-real headz dont act like that…..No offense to anyone,,but jus think a couple folks should get off tha gas….jus my thoughts—–////#RockYourKicks
July 29th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
maybe it's just me, but the sole definitely doesn't look concord. and they should use more of a clear sole not this translucent blue one
July 29th, 2011 at 3:21 pm
my girl said they look like payless sneakers…we broke up shortly after
July 29th, 2011 at 8:04 pm
Dude stfu no one cares i was 8 years old and in the 4th grade in 2001 i didnt have $150 to spend on kicks and im not getting no beat to hell OG's because "Ohh if they not OG they not true to the game" stfu everyone is tired of people like you.
July 30th, 2011 at 12:00 am
shamu left seaworld!!! dope
July 30th, 2011 at 3:23 pm
yall some tightass's im getting at least 3 pair……..best shoe ever made PERIOD….NO SOUTH BEACHES…NO YEEZYS…..CONCORD 11 IS gggggggggggg.ooooooooooooo.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttjo
July 31st, 2011 at 1:06 am
every single reason you gave for not liking these was asinine. no one respects concords because they look like X's? if that was the case, JB would drop X's for christmas every year instead of XI's.
"..so much lik da ten dat no one respects"
stay in school kids.
August 1st, 2011 at 12:26 am
haha
G.O.A.T !
August 15th, 2011 at 12:24 am
the reason they are so blue is so your bottom sole does rott and become yellow so the blue is to prevent yellow………(:
