This was the final original Air Jordan XI colorway to be retroed. It was released in December 2001 and was the final XI Retro released that year. These came in the Jordan face box along with a retro card. They were retroed for a second time in 2008 as a part of the Jordan XI/XII Collezione (Countdown) Package.
My first DOPE pair of Jordans. I got these back in college and this shoe is what put me on track to become a Jordan collector. This was my first pair of actual Jordans. I had a few pairs of Team Jordans prior to this, but these were my first pair and I still have them now and they are in great shape. All Jordan mids are winners and these are no exception. Red soles so no yellowing. I can remember when Jordan wore these. The price on these has skyrocketed lately, but this is a really nice shoe. Definite classics and a must if you are a collector.
