The Countdown: 11 Best Jordan XI Releases Of All Time
#1 Jordan XI “Concord”
Original Year: 1995, 2011
“There isn’t much I can say about this shoe that I haven’t said a thousand times before. The most important thing I can reiterate is that without this shoe, the sneaker landscape would be completely different right now. The only shoe that maybe, and I stress maybe, more important is the Air Jordan I. But that shoe wasn’t revolutionary in its use of materials or technology. The XI recaptured the excitement of the Jordan line and did it in a functional way. And this colorway right here is the one that captivated an entire generation of sneakerheads.” – Brett Golliff
“The Concord colorway usually sits at number 1 on most lists. Originally released in 1995, MJ wore these during the unforgettable 72-10 season. Plus, I am a sucker for a clean white/black colorway.” – Anna Bediones
“The most iconic basketball shoe ever. Period.” – Zack Schlemmer
“I remember the day these sneakers dropped in 1995. Bought two pair size 11.5s from Finish Line CrossRoads Mall. Not only are they great B-ball sneakers, for me, this OG Concord was my favorite dancing shoe.” – Kenny Gonzales
“The Concords were always my favorite 11 colorway. The 2000 edition was one of the first shoes I ever picked up back when my passion for sneakers started, and they’ll always be a sneaker that I will keep in my collection no matter what current trends and tastes dictate.”- Sean Go
“It was 1995 as I sat after school waiting for my mom to pick me up, when I saw the Concords on an older student and couldn’t take my eyes off of them. It proved to be one of the best days of my “sneaker-life”, but also an extremely depressing one since I knew there’d never be another shoe better than these.”- Renick Bowman
