In May, the 2018 Air Jordan 11 ‘Concord’ broke the sneaker Internet with the unveiling of 45 on its heels. Now, we’ve got another look at the upcoming release.
Scheduled to release right before the holidays on December 8, the Air Jordan 11 ‘Concord’ flaunts the number Michael Jordan wore when he returned to basketball after his first retirement. This 2018 build — the fifth release of this shoe — is true to the version Jordan actually wore in the Playoffs.
Hardcore fans will be happy to know that this Air Jordan 11 ‘Concord’ will feature the Jumpman facing the proper direction — towards the toe! The last version, which released in 2011, did have the proper Jumpman but sported the 23 at the heel.
While no official release details have surfaced, the 2018 Air Jordan 11 ‘Concord’ is expected to retail for $220 and release in a run of a million units for men’s sizes, according to leaker @pinoe77.
Will you be trying for this pair come the holidays? Let us know in the comments.
I wonder… why would they ruin the look of the MJ11 with a higher cut? Lower cut looks so much better on it to me.
it does. on the otherhand, the high cut patent only worked well for the cap and gown blackout version. that is something to look for.
I have to respectfully disagree. The higher cut looked great on the “95′ Playoffs” aka “Space Jam” XI’s as well. And they don’t look bad at all on the upcoming “Concord” colorway either.
Jordan Brand has been putting higher cuts on the AJ XI because that’s how they were designed back in 1996. If you go to youtube, look up the 1995 Playoffs when they debuted, and you’ll see that’s how they were originally designed. Some will agree that the lower cut has a more “sleek” look to it, but their (Jordan Brand) intention is to make it close to OG as possible 🙂
