air-jordan-xi-11-retro-comparison-2011-vs-2000-1

As we break into the fall season and getting closer to the release of the Air Jordan XI (11) Retro in white/black-concord, we take a look at the differences between 2 gems.

The Concord XIs were released twice before, sporting uncanny similarity between the OG and 2000 versions of the shoe. The 2011 Concord however, has some slight differences. To some, they are obvious. And to the rest, we give you the side by side comparisons of one of the greatest sneakers of all time.

First obvious difference is the tinted blue outsole and Jumpman orientation on the 2011s. One less obvious difference – the overall shape of the mold it’s build with. Stay tuned for more images or any future comparisons.

    1. Amen bra….
      but i can see the differences inthe shaping slightly, the 2000s are more desirable, DC killed a man 4 foams, who’s gonna pass away 4 these, because i see 2 postings a day for these, plus they running $180, sad 2 say, these r a pass up…

  3. @ Mike, u know sneakerfiles isn’t the only site showing these over and over again. U should check sneakernews, they’re gonna put so much of these over and over and over again. What’s even worse the “hype” has begun since the end of last year! Ur probably gonna witness the same scene, but this time it’s probably gonna be even worse, much worse! RESPECT the WARNING! Besides, the sneaker game is slowly coming to an end; thanks to a 2nd punishing blow of revealing sites that hypebeasts and resellers shouldn’t have known about!

  4. i get the less patent but it is not terrible..could be worse! that said…jumpman is stitched..shiny PL and the soles are icey..count 2X for me! yeah i know we are all going to hear ish from the 2000 but these are not bad quality-wise compared to other recent retros.. i will deal..the padding seems decent too!

  5. I’m glad sneakerfiles posted this, bc now everyone can get a look at what I mentioned in post about discussion- Changes: look at the difference in overall shape and how much less patent leather is used on the new ones. I wish they would have done this three years ago with the BRED CDP’s so everyone could have saved their money then and just went out and found some OG’s on eBay or something. I’m leaning more and more toward what Brandon (above) is thinking…the more and more [and more] I see these on here, the less desirable they’re becoming. I’m more excited about the Pine Green Foams and Cement 3’s than these. And sadly, you’re correct Brandon, I don’t even want to imagine how many lives will be lost over these and for what? Just like the Cool Grey release and the Space Jam’s before them, people were shot and killed, robbed and riots tore apart sneaker shops…Nike/JB should get a handle on this.

  6. Oh I know, sneakernews and nice kicks are all over this too. And you’re right, these were thrown in our faces LAST december right after the cool greys dropped. Yeah, I dont mind checking out some sites every now and then and seeing whats coming out so I have something to look forward to, I just hate when its hyped so much that it causes mass hysteria. I remember a time when you could walk into a footlocker, finishline or footaction on the day a brand new shoe dropped and get in w/ no problems and get your size. Today, its impossible, the shoes are gone before you even have time to get in the store because people have been camping out for hours or even days. The game is way different today than it was 10+ yrs ago, there wasnt hype like this then.

  7. 11’s are great no doubt, but typical hype as always. I’ve had a pair of every 11 that released from ’95,’00, etc. and after the DMP it was all downhill quality wise. I’m going pass on these.

  9. If you in the Dmv I’ll have a full size size run at least 2 in every size in two weeks. Come see the gems I’ll have this weekend at the dc sneeker con. Look for knizzle 30 I’ll have some gems that are pine green, elephant printed, mariner colored in to size

    1. Yo, DMV sneakerhead? You got a shop or something? I am from 804 and out of the country until next week, trying to come back and scoop some shoes–let me know how to holler at you if you have stuff for sale.

  10. old sneakerheads just cant accept that there are alot of new sneakerheads that want to beat them to the punch. you guys are bitter because you have pairs on ice from 2000 and earlier and still want a new pair. so dont complain when you have to drop extra or camp out for your third pair when there are younger sneakerheads tryna get into the game and get their first pair of concords.

  14. the soles aren’t different you clowns. Every pair of 11’s (except for the playoff red and black) have icey blue soles. however, once they age and are worn, the icey blue sole begins to have that yellow tinge to it. the OG 11’s were icey blue at one point, mother nature made em yellow
