Air Jordan XI Retro “Bred” – Detailed Images
October 8th, 2012 by Aaron Hope | 46 comments

Toward the conclusion of each pro sports season (and starting earlier every year, it would seem), pundits take their positions on whether a most valuable player is the single best talent in the league, the best player on the best team or some combination of the two. Now, there’s no questioning that Michael Jordan was the most brilliant baller of the 1995-96 season that saw his Chicago Bulls set the all-time mark for wins in a season, so if we’re talking about the greatest player on the greatest team ever, even the youngest among us understand why he’s still considered the GOAT. Extend the analogy to that season’s immortal Air Jordan XI and you might have an argument that this original ‘Bred’ colorway in which MJ grasped his fourth Larry O’Brien trophy (along with the scoring title, regular season, All-Star and Finals MVPs), is therefore the single greatest sneaker of all time. Let the debate commence on the other side after you’ve seen a new round of photos for the 2012 Bred Jordan 11s and stick with Sneaker News as we approach the Christmas Eve-eve release date.

Check out my review on the early release pair of bred 11s http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-0EdypdlTEs
Damn. It's websites like these that hype the shoes up. Posting a hundred articles about one shoe. Don't get me wrong, I love SN and the Bred XI, but we know what the shoe looks like and we know the release date.
@_Myles I understand your point but it their job to do stuff like this. I understand they raise the bar for the hype but if it wasn't for these websites some of us wouldn't know where and when they release
Funniest part is there are confirmed dates for everything before and after these. Good job JB.
For releases like these I love not living in an overpopulated sneaker lover city.
I'm just going to pay the extra money...and avoid all that drama :-)
@Dee129 From where and how much??
@shagreezz3 where you located ...NYC?
@Dee129 Yea..
Everybody saying the lines are gonna be crazy must have forgot that Nike has been bitches recently and most likely wont even allow lines outside their store and will do a bum ass twitter RSVP, footlocker will probably do that ticket shit, Moes will probably also do a RSVP via twitter, and if you really want em you will probably have to go to a side store and pay $350-$400 to get em.....
Things i need to cop bred 11s

@Fabi0_0ch0a official bred with the real box that was on phukingsick.com or early release bs with ugly Jordan box
@unclepops @cavematt @Kev @shagreezz3 @fly shit i copped my breds early for $280 shipped
@cavematt @Kev @shagreezz3 @fly i bought both my cool greys and concords for no more than $350 but maybe its my big-@$$ feet too but good luck though
@cavematt @Kev @shagreezz3 @fly just wait until january after the initial hype dies...and they will be on ebay for $350...
@Kev Loco @shagreezz3 @fly the ppl that buy em early r getting b grades I mean there r ppl who sell legits cuz theyre connected with nike but theyre samples n ppl who r selling 500 pairs now online r getting freakin k grades I mean who has 500 early retro 11s when they r so exclusive n anticipated ima try 2 get em camp obviously n try online at champs foot locker nike shoe palace finish line n if they sell in a second then oh well I aint paying 500 on ebay cuz some smartass got some pairs early frm nike or foot locker
@shagreezz3 @cavematt @fly If you go on eBay you will find a grip load of these for a lil under 400 shipped sometimes
@BoricuaSole @cavematt @fly well where did you get em and how much did you pay?
Hop it will be a great retro! As it should be!
The most legendary retros ever theyre badass n good 2 play ball in but yeah no doubt Jordan was a beast in these the best season ever but greatest of all time nah 2nd magic Johnson is the greatest of all time n 4sure ill try 2 get these but man will they be hard
@cavematt You make so much sense!!!
*rubs hands together like birdman*
@Jay_Yayy am rubbing mines like Stevie j lol
The hype and lines alone make me pass It's just not worth the hassle to be honest
@boodle81 im with you on that!
so does it comes with special slide box???????? we just want to know how the box look like!!!!
@mivec2805
mine came with regular finger print box,but i wear gs so it dnt really matter.
@mivec2805 been asking Nike the same thing on twitter n still no response back I think we all need to ask on twitter n call in too it might work it might not who knows doesn't hurt to try
@mivec2805 nope... same blk fingerprint box as most other retros dis yr
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite @mivec2805 those early release and the pictures up there are from unauthorized factory and not from authorized Nike factory product. So you will never know the final outcome yet.
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite saw official box pics on phukingsick.com n it wasn't the box u talking bout
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite @mivec2805
so if its not a regular black box imma shit on u anytime u make a comment ok
@mivec2805 I got them early yo & my uncle is a district manager fa footlocker... da box is da Palin old Blk Jordan box.. no special box on these homie
to be honest im not feeling them as im seeing official images the shape just aint right. and plus the Lines are gonna be crazy im gonna pass ( JUST MY OPINION).
All these pics of the shoes, and no pics of the box? There's no special box, is there? :/
Not a fan of Jordans anymore, but these are still nice. But I'm definitely not getting up super early for something that Everyone & their babies will have on...
@dsuaveallday Exactly, nobody wants to see ppl wearing the same shoe you wearing for example when New years comes, if you go outside you will see a baby, grown man, a mother, and there whole family rocking em! I will rock these once ppl forgot they came out, If I had to chose between these and the bred 4s, the 4s will be picked Lol, my 2 cents
Despite what ppl say or compare these too, all breds look the same. There black red & white, only real diff is the patent leather cut other than anybody who rock bred 11's were all on the same team
@hozezae Speak on it sir. It's amazing how everyone says these are better or worse than the OG or previous release. Get serious the shoes look the same with the exception of what you mentioned earlier.
yoooo I want em!! pretty bad. but I am just unsure if what it'll take to get em will be worth it.
Gotta love a plastic 'carbon-fiber' shank!
