Michael Jordan’s 11 Best Games in the “Concord” Air Jordan 11 (72-10 Season)

Posted: 29 Jul 2011 01:08 PM PDT

Michael Jordan

The “Concord” Air Jordan 11 is undoubtedly the most anticipated sneaker left in 2011 (well, the Nike Air Yeezy 2 can rival this). This week, we received our first images of this iconic retro, and as we expected, the feedback was 100% positive. Why is this a special sneaker you ask? Of course, the black patent leather finish is a head-turning attribute, and the blue tinted outsole is a nice complimentary attribute. However, Michael Jordan totally dominated competition while wearing these during the 1995-96 NBA season. During that year, His Airness averaged 30.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists while the Bulls to a 72-10 regular season and a NBA Championship against the Seattle Supersonics. It may be the closest thing to a perfect season we have seen to date.

Do you remember MJ at his best? Check out our Michael Jordan’s 11 Best Games in the “Concord” Air Jordan 11 (72-10 Season) feature.

Fueled by the 1995 Eastern Conference Semi-finals loss against the Orlando Magic, Michael Jordan and the Bulls were clearly on a mission from the start of the 1995-96 season. MJ torched the Hornets for 42 points in the first game of the season off of 16-29 shooting.

Air Jordan 11 Low IE “Black Cement III” Custom

Posted: 29 Jul 2011 11:16 AM PDT

Air Jordan 11 Low IE

While we await the August release of the Air Jordan 11 Low IE White/Black, we have spotted a very intriguing custom design on the well-received silhouette. This Air Jordan 11 Low IE creations draws inspiration from one of the most anticipated retro releases of 2011, the “Black Cement” Air Jordan 3. Specifically, the mudguard is composed of grey cement print, and it borders the entire bottom half of the shoe. The rest of the shoe stays true to the recently released Air Jordan 11 Low IE Black/Varsity Red. What are your thoughts on the addition of the “Black Cement” Air Jordan 3 element on this shoe?
