Because of this sneaker, March 3, 2001 will forever go down in kicks history. That is the official date that the “Cool Grey” Air Jordan XI Retro was released, and chaos ensued. Its popularity caused fights, riots and robberies. They sold out immediately although large numbers were released. Retail on these was $125 and they came in the Jordan face box along with a retro card. After everything involved with their release, this has become one of the most popular Air Jordans of all time.
