This year we got snakeskin on a retail pair of Jordans via the Air Jordan XI Low, but for some that just wasn’t enough thanks to the GS status. Serving up another reptilian look is this Air Jordan XI joint from the likes of Snaphigh. Utilizing the “Bred” colorway as a base, the pair strips out the patent leather from the Eleven equation in favor of a beautiful looking python panels.

If there was any city in need of a dedicated consignment shop that didn’t yet have one, Portland, OR would be it. The city is of course home to the world HQ of Nike INC and the US HQ of adidas, meaning that there’s no shortage of samples and rarities floating around the collections of Multnomah County. Finally filling the gap is Index PDX, a new spot in downtown Stumptown that had its grand opening last Friday, June 7th. Worth nothing is the fact that the shop is backed by the likes of brokeonjordans, a collection partnership that’s long been a source of incredible PE heat over on eBay, so you can bet they’ve got plenty of neck-snapping stock. See some photos from their opening and visit Index PDX at 114 NW 3rd Ave in Portland next time you’re in the area.

Mache is a man that seems mostly inclined to work with new age Nike Basketball stuff, specifically LeBron silhouettes, when it comes to his custom creations. That’s not to say he’s not capable of a mean pair of Jordans as well. Proving that is this sublime Air Jordan XI treatment, one labeled as the “Reverse DMP” thanks to its white and gold sections. Keep in mind that the base here was the Air Jordan XI “Silver Anniversary”, which explains the lack of a Jumpman for the back end. Get the full images after the jump and stay tuned to see what the creative mind of Mache comes up with next.

Deion Sanders’ time with team Nike was one that produced plenty of enticing footwear, from signature models to player exclusives. This pair is one of the latter, a cleat version of the Air Jordan XI Low featuring his “Prime Time” moniker. Of course he’s a Swoosh athlete no longer, but is there any chance we could see him enter the fold once again a la Andre Agassi? And if so, could we perhaps see his Diamond Turf stuff come back with some more true-to-OG looks? Chew on that food for thought and then take a look at the price tag put on this PE pair of Air Jordan XI Lows from seththomasross1031 on eBay.

The Air Jordan XI Low – the patent leather version that is – is one of the quirkier sub-stories in the long and storied history of the Air Jordan franchise. During the Air Jordan XI’s original retail arrival, the low-top version was nowhere to be seen, as Nike opted for the significantly modified “IE” version instead (no patent leather with triangular vents on the upper). The more traditional form of the Air Jordan Low definitely existed back then in PE format, however, showing up on the feet of Michael Jordan during summer-time offseason appearances and strangely enough, in the pages of vintage sneaker catalogs from Japan, among other sightings. But it wasn’t until a few years after the original Air Jordan XI campaign, that the patent toe’d low version would finally make its way to retail.
