Air Jordan 11

This question was asked by my fellow peers.

Why do we enjoy the Air Jordan 11 so much?

Well there are many answers to that question.But to sum it up in three would be better.But before I go on to give my answers I must first explain the Jordan 11.

The Air Jordan is a very attractive piece of equipment for the feet.So attractive that people from all walks of life would use these at their wedding ceremonies.

But for the true Sneaker Head this is the most coveted.The main person responsible for creating this masterpiece was the man they call Tinker Hatfield .

What came from Tinkers creative mind was phenomenal.He went way over traditional standards in building a unique Air Jordan shoe.

When these were released in 1995 only 5 colorways were introduced.2 of them were low cut versions.

The 5 original colorways are:

Air Jordan 11 Concords

Air Jordan 11 Columbias

Air Jordan 11 Breds

Air Jordan 11 Low I.E. Blk-Drk-Gry/True Red

Air Jordan 11 Low I.E. Wht-Light Gry/Cobalt

The first 3 Air Jordan are the most coveted.In the Sneaker Head world if you have the originals you are king.

Finding a mint condition Og 11 would cost upwards of 600 dollars or more on Ebay.

Lets move forward to 1995.When Michael Jordan came back to the NBA the whole world took notice.For the Chicago bulls fan It was a carnival.

Nothing was more perfect for Tinker to create this shoe for Michaels comeback to the bulls.He took notice immediately and fell in love with the shoe that Tinker had created.

There was a slight problem.Michael was fined 5,000 dollars for everytime he wore the Jordan 11.But the good thing was that Nike had him covered.They told Michael not to worry about the fines.

For violating the NBA dress code Michael had no problem.The only problem with the other NBA teams was that Michael violated them in getting their rings!!

The NBA said that Michaels shoe was a violation to the NBA dres code.Well besides the fines that he recieved Michael had one thing in mind.

His mission was to accomplish another ring.In the season of 1995-96 Michael would take the Chicago Bulls to their 4TH Championship Title.

One of the other accomplishments he attained was by winning a record 8th scoring championship.Beating the legendary Wilt Chamberlin just by one ahead.He also joined Willis Reed as the only person to win MVP's in the regular season.

When Jordan came back he was more of a outside 3-point shooter.Very accurate in the perimeter.Played all 100 games when he started.

With a very artistic and tremendous shooting hand it was awesome to see him shoot in fade away motion.

With a unique blend of grace,artistry and a panther like ability to move on the court was like looking at a Picasso painting.

Jordan averaged 4.3 assists, 6.6 rebounds and 2.20 steals.Was also ranked 3rd in the NBA for steals.

These are one of the most popular shoe in the collectors arsenal. Released in the year 2001 these were sold out in minutes.

When the original Jordan 11 released on 1995 they were not that popular to some.These shoes ended up in the sales rack.Amazing.For those who purchased with out hesitation was smart.Others regret later after so many of years.

As the saying goes.When there is an opportunity staring you at the face you better grab it!

The Air Jordan 11 Low was also an eye catcher.Released in 2001 these are the White/Light -Zen-Gray colorway.

It was a perfect summer shoe in June.The only problem again was the fading of the Icy soles.This was a great addition to the sneaker collector.

There is another comeback again.No it is not Michaels 4th comeback.I am talking about the retrun of another Air Jordan 11 low in May of 2012.The colorway is White with red soles.Perfect for the upcoming summer.

Apparently the Breds Og catches me the most.Do not get me wrong every colorway of the Air Jordan 11 is great.

In my opinion the Og breds are the one for me.It makes abold statement.When someone is wearing the Breds 11 give them a sense of pride.

But one must take into account that these shoe are not only for wear.The history behind these Jordan 11 tells a story of what Michael accomplished.

Well I guess that is the way I see things sometimes.Every where you go around the country there are history behind every city.

So like the Air jordan brand.It has History.From the beginnings of Nike,Peter Moore, Tinker Hatfield and Michael Jordan that is history.

This is why I love the Air Jordan 11.This beautiful piece of equipment is a must in your collection.The other history behind this is for the love of Bugs Bunny.This was worned by Michael in the family fun movie Space Jams.Also in the movie they introduced Lola Bunny.

The is shoe was introduced in 1996.The Space Jams was modeled after the tuxedo.With an attractive color combo of Black and White it stands out to the public.

The problem with the icy soles is that it fades to yellow.Due to oxidation.Other than that this is a good looking shoe.

The Cool Greys is another attractive Jordan 11 shoe.Again the fading to yellow soles.

When Tinker created these Jordans 11 the materials used was not that great.Signs of cracking in the Carbon Fiber plate was common.Soles tend to come out after many years of wear.Little cracks on the patented leather appeared on the creasing areas.

But over all the Air Jordan 11 is the most popular in the Jordan brand.

So let us get back to the question.

Why do we love the air Jordan 11 so much?

Tinker Hatfield.

Michael Jordan.

4TH NBA Title .

He came back from retirement and led the Chicago Bulls to their 4TH championship title. How amazing is that.

The way I see the Jordan 11's is what Michael Jordan accomplished when he came back.The love for the game.

The obstacles he went through.The passing of his father.It was sad.But Michael pulled through and went on with his life.He came and conquered once again.

Next time goes into your closet and dig out your Jordan 11.See pass the shoe and ask your self not only why you love this shoe but what Michael Jordan had to go through to make the Jordan Brand possible in his name.
