For the past four years, the Jordan Brand has treated their fans to an original colorway of the Air Jordan XI to celebrate the holiday season. 2011 called for the return of the colorway that started it all, with the Air Jordan Retro 11 dropping in the iconic "Concord" color scheme. As expected, the "Concord" Air Jordan Retro 11 caused mass hysteria across the country and all over the internet, with countless amounts of collectors doing whatever possible to secure their pairs.

The release was the talk of the day for both sneaker collectors and even those not even into sneakers, gaining local news coverage in cities across the country.
