The Air Jordan 11 (XI) Retro - Black / Varsity Red - White were released on December 15, 2001, and retailed for $125. They are the same as the original versions, with no visible changes. They are simply beautiful shoes, as they feature an all black upper, which features a black patent leather at the base, along with a red Jumpman logo at the ankle, and a carbon fiber “23″ at the back heel. The white midsole and red, translucent outsole are both really nice touches that seem to grab your attention.Besides having the looks down pact, some of the features of the shoe include a carbon fiber spring plate, ballistic nylon uppers, a Huarache inner sleeve, quick lace system, carbon fiber sheath and air sole. The only knock on the shoe is that they were not comfortable around the arch and midsole area.
