The Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’ was the unrivaled juggernaut drop of the 2011 holiday sneaker rush, and while most sneakerheads were focused on the release a few days back, this week also a brought a look at two low-cut versions of the popular model that stirred up some buzz of their own. One of the XI Lows that was previewed featured a traditional ‘Concord‘ color scheme, while the other also stuck to a tried and true formula with a tasty ‘Bred‘ version. Not much was known about the potential future of the samples, but now a little more light has been shed, along with this look at some interesting special edition versions of the shoes.
NikeTalk member, NikeDealer was lucky enough to be on the scene when two mysterious Jordan boxes showed up to the house of well-known celebrity sneakerhead, Chi McBride. The contents of the standard issue JB boxes were anything but standard, as a look inside revealed two pairs of the upcoming 2012 Air Jordan XI Lows, specially customized by the package’s senders, Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith. Both pairs feature gold laminate graphics on the tongues displaying each of Michael Jordan’s six championship rings, along with some Bin23-ish wooden inserts inside the shoes. The six rings detailing will not appear when these go to retail, but you can probably expect to see the leather uppers replacing the usual XI mesh and the red lining instead of black on the Bred pair. No word yet on when in 2012 these will drop, but for now, take a look at Chi’s special editions and let us know what you think.
Oh so sexy i'm love to the max.
lol im sorry i just had to say it, the hand on the first pic is like holding a woman's boob lol
20 pairs each please :)
TAKE THAT TACKY GOLD PATCH OFF AND PUT THE MESH ON THEM PLEASE. IT WOULD BE BETTER WITH A HANG TAG WITH 3 RINGS ON EACH TAG INSTEAD OF STITCHED ON THE SHOE IMO
That would be a badass package.
SICK!!
Ugly then a bitch
Jordans are a hell of a drug!!!!
Sums it up. No matter the trash they put out or the hoops you gotta jump threw to get em people still cant get enough. I feel Ant leather looks cheap but quality doesnt matter theyll sell out regardless time and time again
To be honest, the fake leather upper looks, well..fake. These looks like bad chinatown bootlegs. Og fire like the breds and concords should not be fucked with. Mesh would have been hot but still, why have a low and mid version of the same color way? If jb is going to use leather, it should real fucking cow....none of this pleather shit. When i look at what i can get in a dress shoe for 150 - 200 it makes jordan brand look like payless....and thats made in the usa...none of this vietnam shit. As a matter of fact, in the countries this shit is produced, i can buy an actual person for $200 Nike and wants to charge that shit for plastic uppers...fuuuuuuck that. I would love to see a low in some new fresh color-ways with either premium leather or mesh uppers. Tinker chose mesh because it contrasted the patent and for me, that looks alot better. Plus its cooler on your feet in the summer when lows are usually released.
Soooo, YOU would love to see a low in some new fresh colorways with either premium leather or mesh uppers. Hey, thanks for letting me know what you want ant. I'll get right on that.
Thanks Tinker...While your at it...could you stop using fake leather and charging $150+ for it? Lets start treating the og models with more respect.
Hi'ya ant. Tinker shared your concerns with me and we'll get things back just the way you like 'em. Thank goodness for you and your genius suggestions. We were about to close our doors! Why without you, we could NEVER be a successful business with the largest market share of atletic footwear in the world. YEs, siree-bob, ant we are eternally grateful for Einsteins like you. Now, since its the holidays, why dontcha have a seat by the fire, with a niiiiice warm glass of shut the phuck up.
Yes SIR ant. It's a good thing I've got YOU to give me sound advice on how to do things here at Nike. Why if it wasn't for you, and your brilliant suggestions we'd NEVER be able to stay in business. Tinker was just telling me about your infinite wisdom and genius. Thank goodness for YOU, ant. We were about to close our doors. Now since it's the holidays, have a seat by the fire, and have yourself a niiiice warm cup of shut the fuck up.
How many times are you gonna repeat your same dumbassed opinion, ant. We get it. You hate 'em. Move the f*$k on, son-son.
Why is my opinion dumb? You like payin close to 2 bills for plastic kicks? Whos the dumbass? Im guessing people that cop no matter how shitty the quality gets are the reason Nike keeps jerking us . Good work
mcbride's collection is xclusive. hope these dont get hyped bc im diggin the concord lows
every1 needs to chill there proably not gonna come out or be dumb limited

These were the championship package that were supposed to released summer of 2011..I actually like the gold laminent of the rings it should be a lil smaller then they are on the samples.also there should be a snake skin XI package that should be releasing soon...
You're making that shit up. These were a One of One as a gift for Chi McBride. "Championship Package"? Yeah, cool story, bruh.
No netting on the concord just leather?
am i the only who would have the balls to remove the gold thingy on the tongue?? because that thing is ugly IMO
They will not be on the ones you get!! Do you have the Balls to learn to read, moron!
Chi mcbride is the fuckin man...he got real heat!!!...wale aint got shit on him
WHO CARES BOUT THE TONGUE, STILL WILL COPP.
Sick ! But idk about copping any XI's anymore after what I went through for Concords. We'll see. But these are dope af...without the 6 rings tag of course.
Got Damn JB tryna take all my money...smh.
I prefer mesh but have been waiting on these to become real since Jordan wore them in 96 after there victory parade!!!!!!!!!
The Six Gold Rings on the tongues are CRAZY!!!! Absolutely crazy!!!! First time JB has ever done this and it would be even better if the championship years are printed on the rings.
To be honest, the gold tongue label looks tacky and the fake leather upper looks, well..fake. These looks like bad chinatown bootlegs. Og fire like the breds and concords should not be fucked with.
Now you know your the man when not only a major company sends you never before seen products secretly to keep but you also get a signature on the inside of the box saying much love. Damn Chi.
lol at the hand grabbing the concords
The gold rings on the tongues look stupid, But I sooooo need the General release versions of both!
dope shoes, but i want mesh uppers!
you donot want mesh uppers STAY WITH THE LEATHER that wish will be yellow as fuck in a year
I just died laughing after I read this
Sweeettt! I dont really like the gold on the tongue too much but that doesn't matter cause that won't be there when they release, I actually prefer the low top concords over the regulars, as for the breds i still like the OG but the low tops are still dope af nonetheless
THE INNER CIRCLE GET ALL THE HEAT DAMN VERY VERY NICE SET OF XI's
DAMN!!
its clear that jb doesnt give a fuck about my pockets.....sigh.......oh well*pulls out creditcard*
Holy S***!
gonna be broke next year ... damn oh well
I'll cop both when they come out
ME AND YOU BOTH KID. GOT TO HAVE BOTH. PAID $400 FOR CONCORD 11S LAST WEEK BUT I HAVE THEM IN MY COLLECTION NOW.
they're not even that much on Flight Club, smh
I have a size 13 in the concords that I would have let go for cheaper than $400
Stop with the caps, it's not helping your argument.
FLIGHT CLUB HARDLY HAS THE CONCORD IN STOCK, AND BESIDES I WARE SIZE 13 WHICH IS HARD TO FIND. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
