After 2016’s Air Jordan 11 Space Jam release delighted some sneakerheads and infuriated others by replacing the heel’s classic 23 logo with a 45 — the number Michael Jordan donned upon his return to the NBA on March 19, 1995 after a short-lived baseball career — Jordan Brand will be keeping the four-five look rolling on 2018’s “Concord” release. Arguably the most beloved Air Jordan 11 colorway ever, the 2018 iteration of the Concord retains all the iconic tuxedo-esque detailing of the original release with the black patent leather mudguard, stark white upper and icy outsole with purple detailing all returning seemingly untouched, while the aforementioned new 45 graphic arrives on the heel collar. This slightly modified take on the Concord is slated to drop this December as Jordan’s annual holiday 11 release, so keep it locked for official images when they become available and stay up-to-date on what else Jordan Brand’s got coming this year with our Jordan Release Dates page.
