Air Jordan XI: The Story Behind MJ's Favorite Shoe
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ส.ค. 2024
- 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!

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.
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
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%
💯
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!
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?
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
Best Jordan hands down. No wasted colorways.
Diffused blue 11 released now. It's R3899 I can't afford that shii😭😭😭, I guess someone getting robbed fr🤭
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
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
Don’t worry dude you will get a chance to wear them soon
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 😎
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.
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!!
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!
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
Awsome love ur videos!
Thanks 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 🙏
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.
Another great video💯
Thanks 🙏
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.
Yo this the most underrated sneaker channel. Period. Love the vidoes bruv.
Thank you for the kind words brother
Yo Nacho and Brian! You make some of the best yt-content in 2020. I love your videos. Keep them as detailed as they are and keep your focus on history.
Thank you!! Working on another one right now
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 :)
Love the video fam and yes pleaseeee do a podcast Ik everyone on the channel would love that
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!
Great podcast for sure! Subscribed
Thank you Daniel! 🙏
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
It's been awhile! Good video 👌
Yeah man! This one took me a minute. Thanks for watching Nigel!
Another great video. You guys are different class 💯
Thank you!!
The Jordan 11 bred was the one Jordan I just had to track down out of them all.
I have a pair of Air Jordan Concord XI and they are comfortable as hell!!!!
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
Been looking forward to this
Glad we could deliver mang
NachoAverageFinds thank you, you guys are so awesome 😁🤟❤️
Love the Air Jordan 11's I usually buy every release of an 11 that comes out. They are DOPE!
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
Here after the Jordan 11 Jubilee launch and cop. Can't believe the concord launched freaking 25 years ago. Incredible.
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.
9:04 that's the most beautiful picture I've seen in a while
first time watching.... subscribed. good stuff here.
Dillon Welsh Thanks Dillon! We appreciate that bro 💪
Freaking love this channel

Thank you Mark! We got a podcast in the works man ;)
How was this not in my notifications?? ahhhh
haha TH-cam stays hatin man
Always eagerly awaiting your new videos- full of knowledge that’s easy to digest and just thoroughly entertaining as a sneakerhead! Keep up the great work guys 👊🏼🔥
Means a lot! Thanks Oliver 🙏🙏 Got some more in the works G
best sneaker channel ngl
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.
I love these video's. I know they're meant to watched but I love playing this in the background.
Haha that’s dope!
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
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
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!
Dude when the IE’s drop, I was working at the Slauson Swapmeet selling shoes…that pair sold out fast!! Dope shoes.
Dope video as always
Appreciate it G
My personal fav. Jordans are the 1s and 4s. I might cop one of the 11s sometime.
I wanted a pair of Cap and Gowns for my graduation but ironically I got it as a gift from my graduation party
Air Jordan XI - BEST.SNEAKER.EVER 👟🔥🏀
David Bagga Company - #WinYourSalesCareer absolutely! Need me a pair of Breds!
"PODCAST" = "JUST DO IT"
Hahha Yeah exactly
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 TH-cam where you can actually hear him sobbing. It’s truly sad
Great work man
Thank you so much 🙏
Im a Reebok fan for life got many pairs of Kamikazes & Questions..all i own. But those 11s are my all time favorite jordans
Finally, Thanks!
Thank you man!
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 😎
Start a podcast man would be insane the amount you could do with it
I think we will :)
You could wear the 11s to a Wedding, Interview, Club, dinner, Gym, like maaan they killed it with these 🥲 they remind of those Oxford tuxedo shoes I wish I would’ve bought some for prom
I own the 2012 Bred 11s I keep them clean and wear em to just special events or parties but other then that they stay in my closet clean and with the shoe trees in them 🙃 sold my concords unfortunately
Special occasion type joints 😎
Heck yeah. One of my favorite sneakers of all time. Good stuff as always.
Thanks man!!
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
Excellent content bro’s 🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏as Allways 👌
Thanks Richard! I see your comments and I appreciate you always stopping by to support 🙏
Yeah baby. Where the podcast at tho?
Gonna happen mang
I had to revisit this gem of a vid 🔥
Great one as always Bros!
Thank you brotha
Please do Nike Air More Uptempo (Pippen) next.
Good idea actually 🧐
Guys, PLEASE PLEASE make a video on the Converse Pro Leather!
Interesting! Definitely should do more videos on converse. So underrated
Can you do a history video of the adidas hercules as I am a big fan of the band Queen and just the shoe itself and I've never seen it be looked into before
This is a great video and channel. Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you Dennis! Your comment makes me feel accomplished my friend
Just copped the cherries 11s can't go wrong with sum 11s
Congrats
I have to agree, top 3 of my favorite jordans bro
Same here!
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 😍
Ayo That Jordan/Nike Commercial Is 🔥 Real Classic‼️
If you're looking for a sign to start a podcast, here's the "SIGN" (with quotation marks for OW reference lmao)
I'll definitely support your podcast, please do it. Btw I almost bought a J11 IE but it got postponed because of the pandemic. Good content btw!
The Cool Greys? I hope they drop those soon lol and thank you man! Will definitely be dropping a podcast soon
@@NachoAverageFinds just share the podcast's link on our group! Keep making more contents!
The IE Low is something that you’d see in the corner of a Ross Men’s section.
Certainly not a great looking shoe especially with how good looking the regular 11’s were! I found the lows to be the most comfortable basketball shoe I’ve ever worn and snatch a pair up almost every time they retro just to play ball in. Craziness!!
Tinker Hatfield lives right by where I grew up in Portland Oregon
The greatest shoe ever!!!!
more quality content! keep up the good vids!
Thanks man, more on the way!
Dude a podcast would be great!
In the works already!
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 own a pair of the jubilee 11s. They are extremely comfy. Probably my favorite sneaker in my Air Jordan collection.
Still gonna wear 11s for my webbing and when I graduate high school
The guy who said that he wanted those shoes since he was a kid warmed my heart
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
MAan said best air jordan 😤air Jordan 1 and 4 would feel disrespected rn😂
They all dope lol
Virtually everyone has the 11 as the best Jordan. Still legit to play in (as well as the 12s 13s and 14s). Jordan 1s are just hyoe, they ain't comfortable or game ready
lu.s music 1s are overrated (they still nice tho) 4s are rlly good but at the end of the day 11s are the one 🤩
Missed you guys. You could do a video about crocs and I would still watch them
Haha Appreciate that man. Crocs video coming soon 🧐🧐
🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️ had all 3 back in 95,& 96 my favorites all time!
The grey 11s with the ice blue sole 👑⭐
Just bought a pair of these yesterday....gave up my left arm for them...now I can wear them, but I cant tie them up lmao..these were my fav pair to actually play ball in- the black red white
Dunk Champ. Epic Battle Loses and Ultimate Victory against the Bad Boys. “It’s gotta be the Shoes”. Must have Air Jordan’s. The Tragic Death of his Father. Retirement at his prime. Baseball. “I’m Back.” Flu Game. Last Shot. MJ has legendary stories throughout his career without trying. LeBron aims to manufacture these stories and control his narrative but doesn’t come even close to the 🐐.
Honestly, not my favorite "silhouette" but the class and performance aspects. 💯. That patent leather and how Tinker Hatfield didn't over do it.. just hits different.
Thank you for the podcast recommendation. I’m always on the look for cool new podcasts! New sub btw ❤️
