The man hasn't played basketball for how many years and people still want a pair of his shoes. At least I know that a watch won't be worn down after 6 months. People are insane.

77T · 24 December 2011, 07:42 AM

Too big for my wrist...

HL65 · 24 December 2011, 07:45 AM

I wonder if I auctioned off my old Converse if it would start a riot?

john333 · 24 December 2011, 09:36 AM

The way people act about these shoes is shameful. I was able to get a pair for myself and my son, but I didn't have to get mixed up in the crowds to do so. If I did then I would have passed.

They are cool, and take me back to when I played in school, but they are just shoes...

Kringkily · 24 December 2011, 09:41 AM

i love retro jordans but i dunno if they are worth killing for

Kanger · 24 December 2011, 09:43 AM

The concord 11 is a special shoe because 23 wore it during the 72 win season, which ultimately ended in a Bulls championship. My friend waited until 12:01 AM this morning and order two pairs. Crazy? Maybe. But I think our obsession with watches is similar.

FremStar · 24 December 2011, 11:43 AM

As a sneaker head myself I was dissapointed in how the Jordan 11 release turned out, here is more info for those who are interested in the mayhem http://www.sneakerobsession.com/6307...r+Obsession%29

I can't wait to get a pair. Can't remember but I probably had a pair the first time around. Air Jordan's are my only sneaker.

Uncle Art I am sorry to say but the concords are sold out nationwide, however, your best bet would be to check eBay... Make sure you check the sellers feedback. You may be looking to pay up to $300.

I was hoping the stores would get more in. Are they limited production?

goodluck finding them..resellers are the ones that killed the shoe game for me..they buy 10 pairs and flip em

jmv23 · 24 December 2011, 12:14 PM

i am a sneakerhead myself...4 yrs ago I had ALL J's up to 22 but sold most of them on ebay and some to friends. I just lost interest when I completed them all...mind you most are NOT retros like now. I thought about getting these concords since this were my shoes when I played varsity but passed. You can't play in them anymore...quality has def. gone down thru the years...these are one of my fav and the cement III's and blk IV's

I do agree the quality has gone way down. But I still like them. They fit my feet very nicely. I can't wear Reeboks. They just don't fit right.

That number sounds about correct. This release was nationwide, however, you have kids all over the world who wanted to covet these sneakers. I am actually out of the states now and as you know Jordan is a household name all over, I first caught wind of the riots that happened in the states on Radio 24

jmv23 · 24 December 2011, 12:41 PM

you know what...i'm sure a black ss sub looks great with the concords!!

Sam, I have an interesting B-ball card. It is of Sam Vincent when he played for the Magic. Jordan is guarding him wearing a no. 12 jersey. It was during the Magic's first or second year. When the Bulls were in town Jordan's jersey was stolen right before the game and he was given a generic no. 12 jersey. The pic for the Sam Vincent card was taken that game and Jordan happens to be in the background garding him wearing that jersey.

I remember that issue with the jersey...actually, MJ wasn't my first bball hero... It was Reggie Miller!

jmv23 · 24 December 2011, 01:20 PM

remember when MJ use to destroy the cavs and knicks? (sorry cavs and knicks fans)

Jordan destroyed everyone in the league so no points made there

Art 1 · 24 December 2011, 01:30 PM

I remember seeing Jordan play his last time in Orlando when he was with the Wizard's. It was interesting to watch him. I watched his every move, even when he was on the bench. I knew it would be the last time. He sat on the very end of the bench, I never saw him talk to any of his team mates or coaches. He didn't even go into all of the timeout huddles. He actually checked in and out as he pleased. Just did what he wanted and stayed to himself. He was just so dominated during his career. I actually remember him coming to Orlando to play the Orlando Twins when he played minor league baseball.

you just can't walk away from the game that you love.

I'm also a huuugeeee sneaker head. Been collecting since 1990. Excited for this release. Went to the mall at 7 am, of course crazy lines. Didn't get my sz 10, but got one for the wife...not bad, but errr... :)

jmv23 · 24 December 2011, 03:44 PM

I still have the 2001 retro blk/red 11's...
