Air Jordan XI ‘University Blue’

This past week was a major treat for Air Jordan XI fans, as we got a clear confirmation of the release of the Columbia XI and received a nice treat in the form of the Air Jordan XI ‘Blackout’. Here’s a look at yet another piece of Air Jordan XI greatness – the University Blue/Black-White sample; much like the Air Jordan X sample we showed you yesterday, this sample features a tonal University Blue upper with a White Jumpman logo on the heel and a black mesh-weave inner lining. Curiously enough, these are dated as Spring 2010, while the Air Jordan X sample was due in Spring of 2008. Additionally, you may attribute these to the Pantone 284 Collection that was on display at the Jordan Brand ‘For The Love Of The Game’ pop-up exhibit in Harlem during 2010’s World Basketball Festival, but these do not feature the laser-graphic upper (but instead a leather material seen on the Cool Grey XI). So which Air Jordan XI sample to you like better – these or the ‘Blackout’ (currently fetching over $7,500 in auction)?
