Air Jordan 11 Black/Varsity Red CDP
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Oct 5, 2008 Celebrating the “Year of the 23″ each month (except February) saw the release of a double pack of retro Jordans who’s models totaled to 23. Not surprisingly many were getting ready for the Jordan 11 + Jordan 12 Countdown Package.
Saving the best for last, Jordan Brand will treat us to the Jordan 11/12 Countdown Pack in December more than seven years after the last patent leather Jordan 11 release (sorry JB, the IE lows don’t cut it). Only a couple of weeks ago Jordan Brand posted on their official Jordan release dates that the Jordan 11 in the CDP would be the Black/Varsity Red, but with the number of retro Jordans this year that are slightly different from original colors it is good to receive visual confirmation that they will in fact be the shoes we know as the “Playoffs.” This pair posted on eBay is a youth size, but from checking the tags and insole, one can tell that these are for the upcoming Countdown Package. Check out more shots after the jump sent in to us by Snorkal. |

BEST CDP of the Year!!!!! no-brainer!!!!!!
Oct 5, 2008 at 9:41 pm
my older brother has the retros of these from 2001 and after all these years they still look good but the bottom is starting 2 fall off but they are bringing the freshest XIs back out!
Oct 5, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Man I’m buying 3 of the 11/12 pack favorite colors can’t wait til december.
Oct 5, 2008 at 9:46 pm
time to save up my money
Oct 5, 2008 at 9:48 pm
The shank plate looks funny. Personally, I haven’t picked up any of the CDPs. I still don’t plan to.
Oct 5, 2008 at 9:52 pm
so mad…it should have been the space jams…
im gonna have my 11/12 pack 2 months early..
but either way..im pissed
Oct 5, 2008 at 9:52 pm
i mean 1/2 month month early**
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Best shoe ever. I remember having the OG of these in all 3 colors back in 96.
I Still have the white and Black retros from 2001
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:07 pm
HAMANA HAMANA HAMANAHHH It have been a long time coming
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:22 pm
hahaha #8…fo sho!! ima get atleast 2 CDP’s, ones for show, the others for dead stock…
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Finally some pics but i have see adult size first cuz the Carbon fiber looks weird patent leather looks dull and toes is down in a angle but that could be is in Kids size what CW is the 12
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:30 pm
is it just me or does the quality on these look horrible??
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Too early to retro these… i was hoping for Spacejams or Concords, but they don’t look bad. I gotta wait for men’s pics tho. The quality looks bad because apparently theyre kids sizes? And does anyone else notice that the box isn’t like the other CDPs?
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:33 pm
this are dope.. a must cop for me… r the picha for the 12 out yet??
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:35 pm
The pics from this and shoes we get on Dec 26 could be totally different just like THe motorsport xx3 from marqueesole and the ones release over the weekend in CAN.
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Jumpman in the first pic looks is facing the wrong way soo is it fake? We might never know.
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:39 pm
this is the 1 pack that JB couldn’t mess up no matter how hard they tried.
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:42 pm
i would have definitely preferred the space jams. but best package either way.
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:43 pm
i have been very worried about not being able to get these. i will need to get mines first or i will never see a size 14 again
Oct 5, 2008 at 10:53 pm
I just look at my DMP 11s and the jumpman is facing the opposite way from 01 retros so i guess JB decided to flip the jumpman around on the 11 retros that come out in the future
Oct 5, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Makes me glad I didnt buy the last retro breds. Not really though because those would have been better quality.
Oct 5, 2008 at 11:12 pm
i just notice the jumpman is facing the opposite way too but who cares theze are fresh
Oct 5, 2008 at 11:17 pm
-hufffs- so wanted the space jams to re-release….-huffs again- guess i’ll still have to scour for an OG pair of em
Oct 5, 2008 at 11:18 pm
its gonna be crazy line ups for these…
Oct 5, 2008 at 11:18 pm
really wish it was the spacejams!!!
Oct 5, 2008 at 11:18 pm
cant wait till dec 26 for these yah. parade day in cruz aint gone b the same whe i bust these yah.
Oct 5, 2008 at 11:23 pm
::YAWN::
Boring. Not happy abt these @ all. still have 2 pairs of retro DS. no need 4 these. shoulda been somethimg more creative. woulda been more excited if the 12s would be the white/red. most likely passing on this pack
Oct 5, 2008 at 11:23 pm

Oct 5, 2008 at 11:33 pm
A must Cop!!!!
Which 12’s are coming with it?
Oct 5, 2008 at 11:37 pm
i was also hoping for the space jams, but the only thing i like aboit this is hardly no yellowing
Oct 5, 2008 at 11:42 pm
STILL HAVE MINE FRESH WORN TWICE INDOORS!!!
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:04 am
i love em i cant wait………………
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:06 am
would prefer concords…
gentry does it again…
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:13 am
wow im a lil disapointed… dont get me wrong, i love these but i was hype for the space jams and the red/white 12 :/
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:13 am
this is CRACK!!!!
Have to have these
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:21 am
i KNOW you people are not complaining about the 11/12 package. you just cant win with some people
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:26 am
i thought the space jams was gone be in da pack….but its cool i like these too
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:58 am
These are okay. Would’ve been 10x better with Space Jams and White/red XIIs as originally rumored.
Oct 6, 2008 at 1:05 am
Columbias 11 in my imaginary 11/12 pack
Oct 6, 2008 at 1:58 am
finally..I bet they kill the twelves.
Oct 6, 2008 at 3:08 am
you know they did the breds because JB’s quality of clear soles is so bad that they get yellow before they even DROP… and of course with the breds it’s at least it’s a lot harder to notice
i’m actually kinda glad for that
Oct 6, 2008 at 3:10 am
nice.
im glad they werent the space jams.
still have mines.
hope the XII’s look good
Oct 6, 2008 at 5:24 am
their nice, i want the concords!!!!!!! =x
cant complain about these tho.
Oct 6, 2008 at 6:00 am
BK-Big-Jay, you HAVE to be the first person in line or get an order in…. My cousin got screwed over like that because of a 14 on the Penny II. Good luck bro.
The fact that the date is listed 12/26….Friday, day after Christmas…. There is going to be pandemonium over these. I don’t think there will be enough to go around.
Oct 6, 2008 at 6:23 am
Yes, I was very happy to have that visual confirmation. Will cop a pack for sure.
Oct 6, 2008 at 6:51 am
I still want the 5’s from the 5/18 pack but these are straight heat but not everybody can rock these and look good
Oct 6, 2008 at 7:37 am
i just placed my bid on these im so gonna win them
Oct 6, 2008 at 7:37 am
em joints is on fiya..cant wait too cee da 12
Oct 6, 2008 at 7:38 am
crack crack crack if u pass on these it could only be 2 reasons
1)u already have them in mint condition
2)u used to ride the short bus to school
Oct 6, 2008 at 7:42 am
I DIDNT RIDE ANY BUS AND DO NOT OWN A PAIR OF THESE SO I WILL BE GETTING THE PACKAGE IN DECEMBER!
Oct 6, 2008 at 7:42 am
The shyts is fiya
Oct 6, 2008 at 7:58 am
IkonRadio , for the 1st time this year, i am actually worried. i knew something like this would end up happening. and im the kinda guy that even though i really want them, i wouldn’t spend a penny extra. i’m gonna have to walk around and find stores that will have them in my size and see if i could put money down on them or something. i did that a while back for the playoff 13’s
Oct 6, 2008 at 8:19 am
This isn’t the real thing, on the ebay site he’s selling it without the box
Oct 6, 2008 at 8:27 am
i have these already and i have the 12s og red black easy pass i might get for my son
Oct 6, 2008 at 8:33 am
I can wait until the Mens Sizes Pics come surface. Also I want to see the 12’s
Oct 6, 2008 at 8:54 am
I dont care what y’all cry babies say I’m happy. Thanks JB ur the MAN!!
Oct 6, 2008 at 8:58 am
I wonder how much these will cost on pickyourshoes.com? Whatever the price is I’m ready to buy NOW!! The Concords would have been nice also, 0r the Carolina blue/white.
Oct 6, 2008 at 9:11 am
@ #19. the colorways for the 12 are black/varsity red/cement grey. you can find the colorways on 23isback.com (i still fux wit nicekicks way harder). and like everybody else, these should’ve been the space jams. i guess they didnt do it since they had them in the defining the moment package. but still. space jams are the hardest jays (imo). cant wait to see how they do the 12s. i know they gonna be black with the red front, but it says it has cement grey. mite jave to get these if i dont im gettin the 8s and 15s. cant get both package though. too much red and black.
Oct 6, 2008 at 9:32 am
the last 11’s weren’t 7 years ago, you forgot about the DMP’s
very nice though gettin two packs, one to stock one to rock
Oct 6, 2008 at 9:37 am
was looking forward to getting the concord 11’s. but might have to settle for the playoff ones. overall, these are the best air jordans ever and to this day, i’m still trying to get my 1st pair. the 12’s could care less, might ball w/ them indoor. but the 11’s are golden
Oct 6, 2008 at 9:38 am
lets just hope that they dont f up the 12’s
but im likin the 11’s
ihave a feeling people while get stabbed if the package is good.
lol
Oct 6, 2008 at 9:40 am
BTW, anyone know how much this pack will go for?
Oct 6, 2008 at 9:44 am
The best Jordan ever made! I’m sure the Concords will come soon enough, but I can’t wait to cop these. Merry Christmas to me!!!
Oct 6, 2008 at 9:59 am
is pickyourchoes.com a good place to buy shoes online, are they real?
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:03 am
# 21- The reason the sign is backward is because thats how the recent retros are.. for example.. the DMP XI.. which reminds me.. that was the last patent leather Jordan Release..not 7 years ago though. I’ll be passing.. but im gracious these are dropping. I was able to sell my retros and cop the ogs for $10 less.
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:04 am
O S**T.THE HOLY GRAIL OF JORDANS.THIS WILL BE THE BEST PACK HANDS DOWN JUST BECAUSE OF THE 11′S NOT TO MENTION THAT EVERY PAIR OF 12′S WERE THE ISH TOO SO IT WONT MATTER WHICH ONES THEY PUT IN WITH THE BLACK N RED PATS.
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:08 am
comment 69, of course their real. You just have to pay a little more like a arm, leg, and fingers. lol
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:09 am
I was going to get the 11/12 pack anyway. Its time for some 12 pictures though.
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:22 am
I love this pack. I’m going to have sex with this shoe
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:30 am
LOL joe.. i used to want this pack badly but i think that it is overrrratedd. im still debatin on this or if i should just save sum dough for nicer shoes for the upcoming year. the cDPs r overrated
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:30 am
yea, i need to see the 12 for me to decide. these are dope though.
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:42 am
if the pack was the space jams and the white/red 12’s..there would be pandemonium. It would just be like the release of the NYC pigeons, people getting stabbed and beaten for their sneakers. So glad im not going to pick them up at the release either way, im sensing a camp out is coming..
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:48 am
if you gona camp at 1 in the morning say aye
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:48 am
I need these in my life again
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:52 am
I must have this pack the $310 plus is the only thing in my savings untouched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:53 am
Im so excited I just had to post another comment
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:55 am
Another thing can somebody let me kno which XII’s are in the pack??? Because i cant picture it colorway in my head by the description
Oct 6, 2008 at 10:58 am
I can’t wait for these. Been looking for a pair of Bred XI’s, but didn’t want to pay $500+. Now I can get a pair. I think the Bred XII’s will come with this pack, which I already have. If it is the Wred pair, even better. But who cares?!? The XI’s alone are worth the price.
Side note, you don’t pay that much more at PYS. I rememebr when the White/Grey 13’s came out. They sold out every where. I only had to pay like $40 more at PYS. That’s way less tan those ebay prices.
And to the person that said the space jams came with the DMP, the concords came with that pack, not the space jams.
Oct 6, 2008 at 11:07 am
The quality on these looks horrible. I have the retro of these from 2001 in mint condition and the quality looks 10 times better. JB is slipping. I’m surprised that Mike signs off on this stuff.
Oct 6, 2008 at 11:09 am
those look very fake. I know this release will be crazy which is fine and no prob if I don’t get a pack. I do like them but never understood why so many people think the XI is the best J..
Oct 6, 2008 at 11:30 am
cant wait to get this 11s are my fav air jordans of all time
Oct 6, 2008 at 11:30 am
soooooo FRESH!!!!! I NEED!!!
Oct 6, 2008 at 11:49 am
THIZ JOINTZ ARE SO HOTTTT MOST COPP 6 PACKS !!!!!!
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:17 pm
11/12 pack is a mandatory cop. This cw is the best of the best.
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:22 pm
cant wait
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:26 pm
OMG THE BLACK/RED XIs R ALL I WANT OUT OF LIFE!!!!!!!!!
obsessed? maybe. but I will be the freshest chick on campus with a pair a these on my feet!
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:41 pm

Oct 6, 2008 at 12:45 pm
ok can someone show a picture of the 12’s i mean whats really good? im a little over the hype about these for real lol
Oct 6, 2008 at 12:50 pm

Oct 6, 2008 at 2:22 pm
i still have some OG Taxi 12s in my vault, but my spacejams yellow’d a long time ago. This is a pack I’ll be making a couple trades for; nothing crayzee though.
This is the Only pack I’ve actually wanted, since the old love/new loves
Oct 6, 2008 at 2:23 pm
these are da only jordan package i will cop and im deff gettin these
Oct 6, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Im ready for these but I would have prefered the space jams
and play off 12’s but I can take this for sure.
Still space jams a better idea.
Oct 6, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Awesomest drop in AGES, I just copped me some concords here http://www.4thekicks.com/?page_id=213 for $130
so guess I can get these babies too.
Oct 6, 2008 at 2:35 pm

Oct 6, 2008 at 2:42 pm
This will be the hottest pack of 08. I will have.
Oct 6, 2008 at 3:23 pm
the blk/red patent 11’s these are crazy I love these I am not up on the countdown pkg…. I have skipped all of them thus far due to the fact that some the packs have been whack. But I will be copping these.

Oct 6, 2008 at 6:25 pm
WANTED THA SPACE JAMS. STLL COPPIN BUT DISAPPOINTED
Oct 6, 2008 at 6:35 pm
they should of dropped the space jams and the playoff 12
but either way its still hot
Oct 6, 2008 at 7:01 pm
I got the space jams already so I might pass this one.
Oct 6, 2008 at 7:17 pm
I already own the OG Bred XI(ds) so I’ll be happy just to have a wearable XI that I don’t have to stare at no more(LOL!)
Oct 6, 2008 at 7:55 pm
YESSSSS!!!!
Oct 6, 2008 at 8:09 pm
shudda been the spacejams…jb didnt really change up colorways with the good cdp shoes.

Oct 6, 2008 at 8:18 pm
Yes ill take these 11’s>>>>>>>>>>>>> any jordan definitely not disappointed This will be the only all good pack they release but they seriously need to start releasing some blue cause the true flight(another must cop) they droppp in are in black and red
Oct 6, 2008 at 8:32 pm
OMG THESE ARE SOOO TYTE!!! A SUPA DUPA MUST HAVE!! I CANT WAIT!!
Oct 6, 2008 at 8:45 pm
So the Bred 11s are releasing along with the Playoff 12s? Someone clear this up for me. Hopefully, this pack isn’t too hyped up and It’ll reduce the prices of the older released retros and the ORIGINAL Breds.
Oct 6, 2008 at 8:47 pm
If this is true i got a feeling this will be one of the craziest days and i ain’t talking about boxing day for canadians.
Oct 6, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Hardest pack to pick up WILL be these, no question.
Oct 7, 2008 at 12:22 am
mannn i wish it was the SPACEJAMSZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
these are coo.. but still
Oct 7, 2008 at 12:26 am
somebody said the quality is bad because of it being kids size.
Doesn’t the quality of the shoe supposed to be good anyway?
yea…they do look ill fake , but wishing it was the white/ black joints or the space jamz.
Oct 7, 2008 at 12:36 am
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Oct 7, 2008 at 3:40 am
