New colors continue to be launched. Fresh Jordan designs are constantly created, but the original has never lost its shine. In fact, old color ways are frequently re-issued as Air Jordan 11 Retro sneakers.While every color imaginable has graced its classic silhouette, the red and black of the Chicago Bulls continue to play a prominent role. Tucked in between issues of sky blue or golden yellow, variations on the Bulls color scheme gain accolades as perennial favorites. No matter which color piques your sneaker urges, the story of the Air Jordan 1 is one of the greatest in sneaker history and will continue to tell its tale for years to come.

The Air Jordan Retro 11 Blue is by far one of the most popular sneakers in footwear culture, as well as one of the most desirable sneakers in Michael Jordan's signature line. Originally introduced in 1995, the sneakers are the creation of Tinker Hatfield who took the position as lead designer for MJ's signature sneakers back in 1988 when he first designed the Air Jordan 3. Jordan's performance in the shoes was nothing less than amazing. Aside from leading the Chicago Bulls to their 4th NBA Championship, he also become the second athlete in history to win the Most Valuable Player award for the regular season, All-Star Game and NBA Finals.

Over the years there have been a total of 5 color options of the Air Jordan 11 made available, not including the less popular low-cut silhouette. Since their hay-day in the mid 90's, all the original models have been reissued at least once, and have been just as popular, if not more popular, than the first time they were released. If you're unfamiliar with the styles, allows us to give you a brief history of each one.The first Air Jordan 11 Retro Gamma Blue to release was the "Bred" version, which featured a staple color palette for the Air Jordan collection. The shoes were released in April of 1995 and retailed for $125, which is a steal these days when such retro releases tip the scales at $180.

To coincide with the colors of MJ's then Chicago Bulls uniform, the Air Jordan 11 "Bred" features a black ballistic nylon upper with black patent leather along the base, a white midsole and a translucent outsole tinted in True Red. The iconic Jumpman logo on the ankle is embroidered in True Red as well. Since originally releasing in '95, the shoes have been re-issued twice, once in 2001 and again in 2008 as part of the Air Jordan 11 Retro Countdown Pack.After the Chicago Bulls-colored version released the next to come was the "Concord" edition. These get their name from the fact that the white based upper is wrapped in Dark Concord patent leather.
