This was one of the first Air Jordan XI Retro Low's released. They were also one of the first XI Retro Low's ever released. These came out in 2001 alongside four other colorways. All were a general release. Retail was $115 and they came in the Jordan face box along with a retro card.
Fire! I only have one pair of low top XIs and it is in this colorway. To be fair, I would also buy a pair of the white and red low tops if I could find a DS pair that didn't cost a fortune. Unlike the red pair, these do not have the mesh siding. Almost all patent leather XIs are eye catchers and with the bright patent Carolina blue, these are no exception. I've only worn these casually, so I can't speak to the performance, but these are beautiful shoes. The pictures pretty much speak for themselves. I don't want Jordan Brand to ruin the XIs, but they might want to consider mid top versions of these....
