The Daily Jordan: Air Jordan 11 “Bred” – 2012

Which sneaker stands as the greatest ever Christmas release? Unless Nike or adidas put out general releases of the Air Mag or the first Yeezy 750 Boost, the Air Jordan 11 “Bred” will continue to hold the championship belt. Not only is it arguably the best colorway of the most popular Air Jordan, it’s the most Christmas-y. And Jordan Brand apparently shares that sentiment, having released every Bred 11 retro around December 25 – 12/15/01, 12/20/08, 12/21/12. The ’12 version is today’s Daily Jordan, probably just behind the ’01 in terms of overall quality and presentation. Unlike most of the year-end 11 drops, these Breds didn’t come with the slide-out box, instead opting for the polycarbonate shield inside a standard flip-top. No telling when Jordan Brand will have these in stores again, so head over to eBay to find yours if you don’t feel like waiting.
