Air Jordan XI – Black – Gamma Blue – Varsity Maize
March 12th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 99 comments

That brand new Air Jordan XI colorway that you heard about for Holiday 2013 is revealed at last. The colorway kind of looks like a ‘Laney’ tribute, perhaps tying in with a handful of other ‘Laney’ flavored retro releases coming for the last part of this year. As you can see, the black base of the Air Jordan XI is boosted by a bit of blue, along with some varsity maize running across the lacing system. In fact, said black base looks a lot like the Air Jordan XI ‘Blackout’ samples that cause such a stir upon their arrival. Let us know if you’re excited for this Air Jordan XI ‘Laney’ look and stay tuned to Sneaker News to find out more precise release info.

That so-called 'blue' on the bottom doesn't even look the part. If you gon' go blue, make it BLUE... not rotten greyish-purple blue. They should have made the blue soles the same color as that jumpman logo.
trash...
Heard these was dropping May 25th?
They couldn't have cleaned them up before taking a photo?
Not as bad as other jordan releases. Since so many people are hating on them... I guess that means I can double up #wearwhatyoulike
This hs to be a joke, columbias please
Ugliest thing i've seen. Horrible, cheap, nasty, un-original.
However if they are 'limited', i'm sure people will eat them up! haha
Get over it boy
I didn't like the first pic. The second one is much better
:::sarcasm:::
Easy pass. All they did was blackout the Columbia's.
I have no reason to cop these
damnnn these r dope i could care less about no columbias now cuz these r dope
fake! this is not the shoe thats releasing this holiday season, just saying
@b83 no it probably bthe 11 thats releasing in the laney pack with the laney 5s
@jeremy_mmg @b83 That's not happening. These are more than likely what will be releasing this year.
What'd ya'll do color the midsoles with a sharpie? lmao
Nice!
ill get these then spray the midsoles white
these look like some b grade space jams
O.o They will never yellow! :-)
Knowing the popularity of 11s, these will sellout pronto.
Why didnt they make the jumpman white so it can be worn with everything ....lol
Trash
Its all About Supply and Demand
Need to see more pics on these
Copping and making them blackouts.
People constantly complained about the yellowing soles and mesh. I'm going to have to respect JB for listening in on that and responding w/this model.
@AngelSoleFly i actually like the yellowing......lol
@Brazy_ness me to it makes the sneaker look vintage i love seeing 95 concords with a gum sole looking sole
@jeremy_mmg yeah true ..i like vintage looks....but the thing is let "me" put the wear and tear on the sho after i bought a crisp new pair......reason? I saw a add in sn looking for feed back on if jordan should make retro WITH the ALREADY WORN look...lol not sure about that
Nothing too special but nice
Nice
Everyone should hype these up. Hypebeast and resellers would then buy em out and sit on em for ever.
It looks dull ...rather concords :)
I kinda like them but I already own enough Jaguars blue shit
Jorhova's so funny right now.
Go long...... PAAAAAASSSSS.
Just Imagine how those cats who spent 11k on the Black Out XI's feel.
jordan brand is done lmfao TRASH AND WATCH EVERYONES GOING TO BUY THEM HOW ARE WE GUNNA GET WHAT WE DEMMAND IF ALL THESE IDIOTS BUYING WHAT THEY SUPPLY US WITH !!!!!
varsity maize on the tongue, gamma on the jumpman, and some weird sole...ill pass on this xi
COLUMBIA Retro BEFORE ANY new color way.
@Kev Loco na jb isgunna ruin every shoe there gunna make the columbia have a disgusting blue tinted sole let them come up with bs colorway colubias came out in 96 and 2001 bred came out in 96 01 08 an 2013 there just ruining these kicks
just die the jumpman black & ther u go clean shoe
naaaah son.
Can they please drop da Columbias... these are jus OK but this ain't where its at
WHERE ARE THE COLUMBIA'S!!!!
wtf they could of done better
I'll just dye the soles black like I do my foams, and I'm good.
common that's just laziness just changing the jumpman a different color..at least make the sole match
these cant be a Laney tribute, if you go on the J23 app it has a Jordan 11 dropping on 12/21/13 and those are labeled "Laney" (no photo). then theres a Jordan 11 releasing 2 days later (same photo shown above) and its labeled with no name but the colorway is black/gamma blue. so my guess is that this is another CW n we're still waiting on that Laney CW..
@kingkeV12 i dont know becuase it has the yellow maze colorway why would they drop to similar colorways uk i guess well have to wait and see
@kingkeV12 good look man. hoping the laneys blow these outta the water lol
