Air Jordan XI: The Story Behind MJ's Favorite Shoe
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 08. 2020
- Once said to be MJ's favorite shoe, the Air Jordan 11 is perhaps the most successful of all the Jordan sneakers. To this day, The Jordan 11 still sets the bar high for both shoe design and performance. The Air Jordan 11 is approaching it's 25th anniversary and we thought it would be dope to make a video detailing the history of this legendary silhouette. Let us know what you think down in the comments!

Netflix has a documentary series about design, called Abstract, that has a very good episode about Tinker Hatfield.
Yes I’ve seen it! Such a well made documentary
I
Gotta chk it out have y’all seen the new Netflix special called the last dance it’s Fukn intense it gets into good detail about the Chicago bulls n how a great dynasty dismantled I don’t watch basketball but that series is really good
Yes its interesting
ep 1 free on youtube
Thank you! I’m about to watch it right now
I miss the days when you could walk into any sneaker store and buy a pair of Jordans at their normal price
Facts! I remember walking into a NIKE store to buy the Kobe 5's and the raging bulls packs was sitting on display for anybody to see, try on, and buy. Too pricey for me at the time but to actually have them in my hands was cool
I miss those days as well
wait….. you cant do that anymore?!?
I remember
U take the good with the bad when it comes to technology. This is the Age of information. Plenty of pros & def some cons.
Tinker Hatfield is the GOAT of sneaker design
Yeah he is lol Dude is the best
Facts
Yess sir the 11s were the best ones he Ever created even the concord breds
I hate to admit someone’s better than me at something, but I got to admit, tinker has me beat that brilliant bastard
Except for the Jordan 15 and his other sneakers after that
As a guy who never had a jordon due to country and culture.. These videos are blessing.. Thank you for the history lesson
Wow man. Thank you so much for tuning in bro. Means a lot!
*Jordan*
Once you get a fresh nee pair you will feel like you own the world I hope you can get one in your life time
Only one Jordan
Most Iconic I’d say the 1’s but my favorite is probably the 11’s.
Yes I agree 100%
💯
Best Jordan hands down. No wasted colorways.
Mike actually had Bugs and Daffy go get the white and black 9s from his house. He switched to the 11s for the final game.
Haha oh worddd my bad on that mistake lol I need to rewatch that film
Let em know bruh... I still watch that movie at least once a month.. too much nostalgia and good memories from my childhood
9/11 🤔🤔🤔
@@NachoAverageFinds it’s alright, I love yalls content and gain a lot of dope knowledge!
How about the mysterious black concords? People are saying that mike wore a pair that wasn't really space jams. Y'all can look some pictures up
Oh damn really? Didn’t know that! I’ll look into it
@@NachoAverageFinds yeah the PE that he worn were the black concords the soles are concord purple Instead of Space jam blue and the the tongue tab says "jumpman Jordan" (with a jumpman) instead of "jumpman Jam" with a bugs bunny jumpman
@@hov164 it's probably in IG, that's exactly how you described it. Thanks!!
@@EitherOrr those 2016 11s were the black concords but they marketed them as the Space jams for the "story" and what I assume is to cut costs. The 11s to me is the Greatest thing ever designed and I study it like it's an A-level
@@hov164 this year's release was clean tho. 25th anniversarry, they look like they can be nicknamed as 'barons' i like em
Love the 11s, most stylish and comfortable Jordan I’ve worn.
Just copped a pair of IE’s for a steal! It’s a less common sneaker but that makes me love them even more. Thanks for the awesome video guys
I still need to unDS my cool grey 11s 😎
same i got then from ebay for 30 in really really good condition in the cobalt colorway
No way 11’s comfortable
Only retros more comfortable than 11s are the 13s
This shoe is so conflicting to me, both because it looks the best (next to the 9) and has some of the best color ways, but it’s also everywhere and expensive as hell, which isn’t ideal for a 16 year old kid lmao
Haha Yeah they playing those poor kids man. Not even I can afford a pair. I mean I could but it’s out of budget for sure 😂
NachoAverageFinds facts my guy. Doesn’t help that the Space Jam color way stays getting more expensive
Maybe offer to pay half for your birthday or Christmas
@@bobbyshewan4229 Funny thing is the Space Jam came out in 2016 when I was 16. I ended up getting just about every OG Colorway that year. I got the Bred 1, White Cement 4, Metallic 5, Maroon 6, Aqua 8, Flu Game 12, True Blue 3, Space Jam 9, and Space Jam 11. I got hella other J’s that year too, that was a good year. I got a about 15 pair of J’s that year.
The 9?
when i was 6 my uncle gave me a pair of jordan 11s, it used to be his and he used it when he played in highschool, it didnt fit me since i was small. he asked me to wear them if i ever played basketball, he died in december 2020. i fell in love with basketball during the pandemic since i had an old ps2 with nba live 08, i practiced basketball everyday since then, and when i was practicing, i remembered the shoes and tried them on, it almost fit and now since im 2 years older, i tried them on and it fit perfectly, currently 12 years old turning 13, going into 7th grade and definitely trying out for the basketball team, and just the fact that my hero gave me a pair of my idols favorite shoe, its unreal to me. Definitely wearing these shoes everytime i play to honor him
One of the coolest design in Jordan’s
The history behind the shoe makes this a must have for any sneaker collection
Absolutely
To ugly man....rather wear any other AJ.
Anyone else secured the Air Jordan 11 Jubilee 25th Anniversary win today? After watching this video and appreciating the history, and the design from Tinker Hatfield, definitely will treasure the AJ11 with pride. :)
I took an L haha
Jubilees probably the best colorway with the metal silver Jordan logo
@@marcop.525 Agreed!
Trees rolled and burnin, sippin on a iced carmel macchiato and N.A.F. with a Jordan 11 video. Not a bad start to my day! ⛽🌲💨🤘💪
Yee! That’s what I’m talking bout Loren. Enjoy you’re day 🙏🙏 Thanks for letting us be a part of it
@@NachoAverageFinds #gang 😎
this shoe gave me a lot of memories and clout back at highschool. Can’t doubt,its one of my favorite shoes of all time! anyway, my guys are back at it again with a banger of a video!!🔥❤️🔥❤️
Haha Hell clout!!
I love watching you guys, it can be seen how much effort you put in your videos. You will blow up one day for sure.
Thanks for the kind words Mihael! We love making these videos for you guys
Jordan 11 is a very famous jordan shoes and wear that,how i haven't wear any shoes of jordan brand and I'm a little bit envious when i saw other wear that.
Haha time to get started on your collection

The annual Jordan XI december release started in 2008 with the 11/12 Countdown Pack, there were none in 2007, and the DMP XI released in January of 2006.
Thanks for the info 😎
@@NachoAverageFinds Anytime :)

Yes on the podcast! I've been ejoying your videos for about a year now and I would be happy if you guys have a podcast 😍
I had to revisit this gem of a vid 🔥
Great one as always Bros!
Thank you brotha
Another great video. You guys are different class 💯
Thank you!!
Yo this the most underrated sneaker channel. Period. Love the vidoes bruv.
Thank you for the kind words brother
I was waiting on a new vid n y’all didn’t disappoint y’all killed it I jus recently got my 11s cap n gown 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thanks for waiting Pete! Appreciate you. Yeah man the Cap N Gowns are one of my favorites
Yea man most definitely I recently became a sneaker head cause I finally have the money to buy the shoes i always dreamed of as a kid wit that bein said y’all have informed me a tremendous amount on sneaker culture n history I love knowing the history of my shoes it makes for good knowledgeable conversation wen I get complimented on my sneakers 🙏🏿🙏🏿once again thanks guys y’all stay safe
Jus incase y’all havent seen them chk out the Jordan 4 fiba I
Think they’re🔥🔥🔥
Heck yeah. One of my favorite sneakers of all time. Good stuff as always.
Thanks man!!
This is a great video and channel. Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you Dennis! Your comment makes me feel accomplished my friend
9:04 that's the most beautiful picture I've seen in a while
03:05 the carbon fiber shank is not for weight reduction (sneakers usually don't have one) its for stiffness and energy return. It adds to the responsiveness of the shoe while sprinting. this is common nowdays in "speed boots" in football/soccer... they literally add a spring in your step
Here after the Jordan 11 Jubilee launch and cop. Can't believe the concord launched freaking 25 years ago. Incredible.
It's been awhile! Good video 👌
Yeah man! This one took me a minute. Thanks for watching Nigel!
Been looking forward to this
Glad we could deliver mang
NachoAverageFinds thank you, you guys are so awesome 😁🤟❤️
The Jordan 11 bred was the one Jordan I just had to track down out of them all.
well researched content! this channel needs more than a like and subcription..you should definitely go make a podcast guys, salute to you..keep educating us on this amazing culture..love and respect from the PH 🤘🥰
Thank you Mark! We got a podcast in the works man ;)
Love the Air Jordan 11's I usually buy every release of an 11 that comes out. They are DOPE!
11s have grown to be my favorite Jordan (Previously the 6s due to the infrareds), and will make up my main shoe collection pieces. This was a great series as someone new to the sneaker game. 1st class history lesson!
The bell is on for all your uploads! Looking forward to more videos!
I have a pair of Air Jordan Concord XI and they are comfortable as hell!!!!
more quality content! keep up the good vids!
Thanks man, more on the way!
Great podcast for sure! Subscribed
Thank you Daniel! 🙏
My personal fav. Jordans are the 1s and 4s. I might cop one of the 11s sometime.
I love these video's. I know they're meant to watched but I love playing this in the background.
Haha that’s dope!
Awsome love ur videos!
Thanks so much
Great work man
Thank you so much 🙏
As I’m now an expert after watching your videos this past few days, I would say that the Air Jordan X1 is one of my favourites. The X11 looks great too, but I think firstly, a retro pair of retro Air Jordan 1’s are in my future. Thanks for the info guys and get your arses in front of a mic and make a podcast 👍
Haha Definitely will be launching a podcast this year! Thanks for the all the kind words Chris 🙏
this is my all time favourte Jordan shoe. i remember i wanted this so bad growing up and seeing the 3 main colourways at the time. Over time i kept seeing all these weird colourways which were knock offs but now most of them are legit colourways. my first pair were the Cool Greys. Because i couldnt afford the actual ones i got some knockoff concords and space jams off ebay and well made me wish i had legit ones. Space Jam is my favourite movie and ill always love the space jam colourways. i plan to get the jordan 6 rings in the space jam colourway since its the most affordable way i can kinda get close to the actual 11s right now
but awesome video on the jordan 11s this shoe is so iconic and will always be my favourite Jordans
Yo thanks for sharing G. Mann I have to be honest, the Cool Greys' are kind of my grails right now. I'm hoping they'll retro them this year. Thanks for watching!
Another great video💯
Thanks 🙏
So, I always thought shoe kinda looked "blegh" but after watching this I appreciate it more. I know some guys who swear by their Bred 11s everywhere, but I still think the Air Jordan 1 is the only Jordan you should wear at a formal event lol
Same here man. I thought they was clown shoes at first haha butler shoes. But after a closer look and learning the history I fell in love with them
What you mean? Those are good-looking basketball shoes
@@JanRey526 idk, I prefered the classics like Blazers or AF1 mids.
Dope video as always
Appreciate it G
first time watching.... subscribed. good stuff here.
Dillon Welsh Thanks Dillon! We appreciate that bro 💪
Sometimes these are the most iconic Jordan to me. Sometimes the 4s or 1s. Simply by virtue of how many amazing moments these shoes were in the middle of. The Concorde colorway is so classy, which seems strange to me because I thought the patent leather was too loud when they first came out. They go with so many different outfits. The cool greys are an amazing summertime shoe.
Finally, Thanks!
Thank you man!
best sneaker channel ngl
🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️ had all 3 back in 95,& 96 my favorites all time!
How was this not in my notifications?? ahhhh
haha CZcams stays hatin man
Freaking love this channel
Thank you man!
I own a pair of the jubilee 11s. They are extremely comfy. Probably my favorite sneaker in my Air Jordan collection.
I remember picking these up during the winter time from bargain bazaar in downtown Brooklyn... I was kind of upset they came out with breds instead of the black concords aka space jams which are my favorite. But I still copped the breds the only one I didn't cop were the Columbia's grand mother wouldn't give ne anymore money to buy 11s lol
Dude when the IE’s drop, I was working at the Slauson Swapmeet selling shoes…that pair sold out fast!! Dope shoes.
Yes to the podcast! There’s a severe lack of sneaker podcasts
That’s true haha we’re looking into it
@@NachoAverageFinds I second the motion to a Nacho Bros podcast. You guys are very entertaining and educational, also cool.
Excellent content bro’s 🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏as Allways 👌
Thanks Richard! I see your comments and I appreciate you always stopping by to support 🙏
Just copped the cherries 11s can't go wrong with sum 11s
Congrats
Start a podcast man would be insane the amount you could do with it
I think we will :)
My favorite Jordan shoe hands down!! That patent leather makes them vicious!
Every video u made,make me wanna get that pair of shoes. I got the airmax 90,96 & 98...Next is on the bucket list will be these! 😅
Haha Same for me man. When I make the videos, it makes me want to buy them too
@@NachoAverageFinds Copped a pair of Air Max 95 because you triggered my memory that a kid down the street had a pair in Total Orange. Used to brag and joke they were size 100 because of the different Euro sizing would confuse all us kids when we were used to locally made shoes that didn't have the Euro size printed in the shoe. It was funny but I only was able to find a pair of LV8, the purple and cyan/teal pair. And dirt cheap too vs. retail price. Though there is a guy on Ebay selling my pair for $1000 and I paid $178 on a pair that were worn outside once and brand-new inside and on the uppers. Sole had the slightest pair. So I won lol.
Loving the channel
Luke Caramanico Thank you Luke!!
@@NachoAverageFinds idk if you have already but you guys got to do a video showing your sneaker collection
Im a Reebok fan for life got many pairs of Kamikazes & Questions..all i own. But those 11s are my all time favorite jordans
Never gets old
Great video
I subbed to you because ur a working hard small youtuber
Ayo That Jordan/Nike Commercial Is 🔥 Real Classic‼️
I just ordered some bred 11’s a few days ago. I can’t wait for them to ship.
Sold my 2018 XI Concords...huge deal as I won money. But I regret doing it. What a piece of art this shoe is
Dynomite this man is incredible he was doing this almost 30 plus years ago. You'll miss out this guy is from my generation he made watching NBA phenomenal he is the baddest cat that laced up a pair of sneakers
I’m not feeling how plain the anniversary pair is but they are clean asf 🔥for a simple colorway they just should of done more for the retro 11 25th anniversary 2020
Yo my dudes please do a podcast! I would love to hear what you have to say and think about sneakers, life, news, etc.
Hopefully by the end of this year we will start a podcast 😎
Great Blissful solitude of legend competitive mind" Jordan
I didn't grow up watching jordan but knew who he was and when I heard how his father died I felt bad and than when he won his 4th championship without his dad to see was sad
Yeah man. There’s a clip somewhere on CZcams where you can actually hear him sobbing. It’s truly sad
AJ 11’s are my favorite sneaker of all time, writing this while wearing my Playoffs 🤟
Nice lol I wish I had a pair of Breds man
Air Jordan XI - BEST.SNEAKER.EVER 👟🔥🏀
David Bagga Company - #WinYourSalesCareer absolutely! Need me a pair of Breds!
Tinker Hatfield lives right by where I grew up in Portland Oregon
I remember this. He was sprawled across the floor crying his eyes out.
The guy who said that he wanted those shoes since he was a kid warmed my heart
The greatest shoe ever!!!!
🔥🔥🔥 Episode 🔥🔥🔥 Shoe
The grey 11s with the ice blue sole 👑⭐
Bro i love ur channel
Thanks Ibrahim! It means a lot bro
UNDERRATED
Yeah baby. Where the podcast at tho?
Gonna happen mang
Dude a podcast would be great!
In the works already!
"PODCAST" = "JUST DO IT"
Hahha Yeah exactly
I have to agree, top 3 of my favorite jordans bro
Same here!
Just got 2 pairs of Jordan 11 Cool Grey. My first pair Jordan 11 😍
I’ve just cop jordan11 bred it was 🔥
Incredible shoe. I wasn’t a big fan initially. Though, one day in college I saw a girl wearing it and it looked good as hell and my opinion changed instantly. It definitely needs to be work to really show its shine.
I’d like to see a podcast and I definitely would listen to it
Man thank you so much. We’re definitely going to do it by the end of the year
