Loving the look
 
It's probably been questioned a million times, and answered a million times. But...one more time...WHY THE **** wouldn't they...30th anniversary of the original release in Fall of 1995...and end of the 40th Anniversary of Air Jordan, go out with a BANG and release for Christmas of 2025, the CONCORD 23!? With the high Patent Leather and everything? That would make too much sense. Instead of making a Patent Leather Mid based off of the Black/Red colorway LE Lows he wore in the Playoffs?

Because the 45 concords released in 18, and the very similar gratitudes just released in 23.

Black/Royal space jams and Gammas are due up again before concords.
 
I saw these at a "Hype" yesterday and that patent leather is woefully thin. Shoes looked great overall but wow, it reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer was cutting meat slices so thin "I couldn't even see them..."
 
Eh, I was hoping for the possible stealth colorway.

Gammas are nice, was never big on ‘em tho

I feel they should have went with the Concord XI with the 23 on the back for the pending December 2025 XI release to make it coincide with the 30th anniversary of the XI since that was the first version officially available for retail.
 
I’m cool with this change. Always liked the gamma blue color way but the first release were an easy pass because of the shape of the old 11s (and backwards jumpman). Will try to cop these for sure. :smokin

That would actually be a good idea. Hopefully they fix the patent leather issue smh

I have a feeling the 2025 Gamma Blue XI version will have more interest and demand than the original 2013 version based on preference of the revised shape/cut. I want to assume they'll be easier to acquire than the 2013 version based on XIs normally being mass produced for every annual December release.

I would have preferred them to rehash an original color for the 30th anniversary of the XI, especially since I never got a Concord XI with the 23 on the back. The only Concord XI that I ever owned in my life is the 2018 version with the 45 on the back.

Can’t judge until we see something official. Not really feeling any of the Rare Air colorways

It was pretty much inevitable the "Rare Air" gimmick was going to trickle down to the most popular Jordan models. So it's not too surprising they were coming out with an XI, especially for a holiday release date.
 
According to this one, the Black/Red/Grey XI that was slated to come out for Holiday 2025 appears to be permanently shelved, meaning no postponement whatsoever.
