As we continued on with retros in 2000, we also got the retro of the Air Jordan XI. This version of the Air Jordan XI Retro Card was issued from 2000-2001 with all of the colorways released during that time frame. It features MJ wearing the “Concords” on the front and on the back a shoe timeline is pictured along with a brief summary of MJ’s career during the time the Air Jordan XI were originally released.
It’s become a global phenomenon, the likes of which we may never see again. The perfect team assembled from the start: the alpha player in Michael Jordan, a corporate maverick savvy enough to leverage the young star in Phil Knight, and an architect-turned-designer in Tinker Hatfield eager to redefine the industry with his problem-solving approach to footwear. It was a time when the sun, moon and Mars aligned, and the dominance that Michael Jordan displayed nightly as a young Chicago Bull captured the imagination of adoring fans across the globe. Chicago soon began to beat, repeat and three-peat against the competition, twice, and the innovation making its way out of Beaverton was unparalleled across the footwear industry, marking both aesthetic and athletic firsts, as both the legendary Air Jordan shoe and Michael’s playing career itself reached mythical status.
