The latest version of the Air Jordan XI Low

[excuo23]

It could be said that was the genesis of basketball as we know it today. Throughout a fiery and storied career, the tireless MJ overcame his hurdles, soaring above challenge after challenge to realize the unexpected. Along the way, he redefined basketball's relationship to style, the sport's connection to youth counter-culture and the game's creative potential.

Jordan Brand's increased emphasis toward the has been well documented this year. We've seen instant classic the likes of the Bred Toes and the pre-worn Nigel Sylvester collaboration hit shelves already, and this Court Purple variety might just be the best one yet. Interestingly, this release will go down in sizes for both adults and kids, with a slightly different look to each pair. Both sporting a primarily black and purple color scheme, the adult versions opts for a oft-preferred black tongue while the pint-sized version ushers in white in its stead.

Like Jordan himself, his eponymous arrived with a bang, sharing its namesake's tradition-breaking bravado. A black and red colorway violated the league's uniform policy, earning a stern letter from league officials and generating a $5,000 fine each time the player wore the shoes on court. It is with this brazen charisma that the Air Jordan lineage was born.
