You won’t find too many events with as many rare Air Jordans collected in one place as at Sneaker Con. Perhaps the epicenter of all of the goodies in the building at the recent Chicago stop was the table of one Flipjays. What was laying around? The Air Jordan III “Clear Sole”, the Air Jordan XI “Blackout”, a couple of college Air Jordan IVs, and more. Get a look at the samples and PEs after the jump and tell us in the comments which is your favorite.

These days the Air Jordan XI Low with the patent leather seems to be all the rage. That style wasn’t one that saw a retail release until retro time though, with the original low incartion of the Air Jordan XI being this, the Air Jordan XI IE Low. Shown here are the two original colorways of the sneaker, one black/red combination and white/light grey/cobalt. Get a full look at both of the OG 1996 Air Jordan XI Low pairs via the gallery and then check out the price from shoezeum on eBay.

It seems like every sneaker release these days has a theme or some big story behind it. How about then, as a change of pace, a sneaker about nothing?

Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan XI OGs from back in the day were separated by the stitched look that shows up for the numbering on the back. Shown here is one of those pairs, an original Air Jordan XI “Columbia” that appears to have been made for Mike. And as you’ll remember, those were the sneakers he wore out to the NBA All-Star Game in 1996, so if these are indeed a game-worn pair then it’s possible that that was the game they were worn in.
