Earlier today Sneaker News showed you a sample pair of the Air Jordan XI Low ‘Concord’, seen on the feet of Michael Jordan and on SoleFly purveyor Carlos Prieto. Looks like he’s got another sick sample for us – the Air Jordan XI Low in the ‘Bred’ colorway. Like the Concord low, these are indeed a sample of a sample, as the ‘Bred’ low-top version of the patent-leather Air Jordan XI was also a sample from 1996. This 2011 sample version features a red inner lining (consistent with the ’96 sample) and a black synthetic leather upper instead of ballistic nylon mesh. Will these release? You can bank on that new White/Red/Black colorway hitting stores this Summer 2012, but for now, both the ‘Bred’ and ‘Concord’ versions are just in the sample stage at this point. Check out another shot of MJ wearing these samples a decade and a half ago below and let us know what you think.
