The Jordan XI “Concord” is arguably the greatest sneaker of all time, and for the first time since 2011 it will be re-released to the public this December — although this will be the first time the original look, with the 45, will be put on the market since its debut.
Nike made the announcement on Thursday after rumors had been swirling for some time that one of the most coveted pair of sneakers of all-time would be hitting the market again. The announcement features some of Jordan’s top stars, from basketball, other sports, and the world of entertainment, talking about why the Concords are so legendary and one of the all-time grails for sneakerheads.
The black patent leather over the white with the purple outsole is as classic a look as there is in the world of basketball sneakers. It’s truly a legendary shoe and for it to be back is a huge deal.
The Concords will be released to the public on December 8 with a $220 price tag. This year’s release stays true to the original, with the original box, insole, and the 45 on the heel. Those with the SNKRS app can sign up to get an alert for the sneaker drop and those in New York City can sign up to get a SNKR Pass to pick up a pair at the flagship store.
