We’ve been waiting a minute for this one. The iconic Air Jordan 11 “Bred” is set to return this Holiday season — and it’s rumored to be the biggest release in sneaker history, surpassing that of the Concord Jordan 11 the year prior.

To say that these are iconic is an understatement, only rivaled by only a select few sneakers in the Jordan Brand back catalog. The Bred 11s (originally know by old heads like me as the “Playoff” 11s) were worn by Michael Jordan throughout the 1996 NBA Playoffs; the series where he won his first ring post-retirement, picking up the Finals MVP along the way. MJ had been back in the league for a minute, but after that Finals performance, Mike was really back.

Expect a full-OG retro to arrive on December 14th, 2019, including higher-cut patent leather, numero 23 on the heels, OG box and even OG white lining on the thick-cut patent overlays. And the news gets even better, with Soles From Mars reporting that over 2.1 Million pairs will be produced — shattering last year’s Concord drop by a whopping 500k units. If that does come to fruition, and considering not everyone copped a pair of the ‘cords last year, this could quite easily sell out, too.

Mind blown.

Take a look through our comprehensive Where to Buy Guide below, and plan ahead! A lot of pairs do not necessarily guarantee a cop, so be vigilant and good luck!
