New York Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia started the 2011 season off in style, pitching from the Yankees Stadium mound on opening day wearing a cleated player exclusive Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’. Sabathia seems to be a huge fan of the Elevens, having also pitched in the ‘Cool Grey’ and ‘Space Jam’ editions, but all of those have had metal spikes attached to their soles. Here’s a look at a model that C.C. would be more likely to wear while preparing for a game, the Air Jordan XI Turf Trainer. These babies take the Concord upper and pair it with a spikey turf sole like the ones that have typified Nike turf trainers since the mid-’90s (and also appeared on Sabathia’s AJF5 PEs). Click through for a closer view and let us know how these compare to the other baseball and football cleat versions of the Air Jordan 11 we’ve seen here on Sneaker News. via Jordans Daily
