“Snake Skin” Air Jordan 11 Retro Low to Return?

Air Jordan 11

Within the last two years, Jordan Brand has released two must-have Air Jordan 11s in the form of the black/red-white Air Jordan 11s and the “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11s. Although we have heard from many sources that the “Cool Grey” Air Jordan 11s and/or the “Concord” Air Jordan 11s may come back this year, it remains to be seen will release in the fourth quarter of 2010. With that said, rumors have been circulating about yet another Air Jordan 11 that you least expected to return in 2010.

Undisclosed sources say this “Snake Skin” Air Jordan 11 Retro Low will make a return some time this year. If you recall, this particular sneaker first showed its face in 2001 for $115. It features a navy blue snake skin mudguard in place of the patent leather seen on most Air Jordan 11s. No further information has been given yet; meanwhile, voice your opinion on this rumor after the jump.

    It IS confirmed as of now that they will re-release. It will actually be in a double pack. The snakesin lows with the cool grey 11s. I am an emplyee of Jordan Brand, and not of FL or any sneaker stores. There is still discussion on the specifics, but it will happen.

  5. Posted by sneakyfeet at January 25, 2010 at 3:51 pm

    If these release in a pack with the Cool Grey’s you best believe these lows will be for sale on CraigsList. I’ll even be willing to take a loss.

      yep same here…this dude is a fake

  7. Posted by Blaze32 at January 25, 2010 at 3:55 pm

    Return of the Blue Snakeskin? I’ll be looking forward to it. I’m glad it’s not an I.E. Because those are the worst thing to happen to the XI. But anyway, Mos Definitely COP

  8. Posted by Ry Banger at January 25, 2010 at 3:59 pm

    Cool grey and snake skins…. i gotta get. Bring the pink snakeskins out too.

  9. Posted by littlph at January 25, 2010 at 4:00 pm

    umm these were ok but im all over the cool grey and concord 11′s if jb bring those back specially the concords!!!

  10. Posted by wizeguy at January 25, 2010 at 4:10 pm

    these BETTER come out. supposedly its rumored for spring. i’m getting my hands on these at any cost*.
    (*somewhat)

    @Jordans4me

    i cant picture jb releasing a pack with one mid 11 and 1 low 11. if you would of said a pack with the cool greys and the concords, now that sounds more realistic. either way MAKE ME A BELIEVER!!

  12. Posted by d.marie713 at January 25, 2010 at 4:17 pm

    they’re alright, I’d get em’ just to have em’.

  13. Posted by homeless at January 25, 2010 at 4:23 pm

    these look so fake to me

  14. Posted by Sneak-Uh-Head at January 25, 2010 at 4:25 pm

    Man Im not sure bout this. Im in the middle with this one. Last year in June for my b-day i coped the low Xi.The zen grey and navy snake skin. DS. Paid 510 in total. So i would love to get second pair of navy snake skins. But not many people have them now. Wore the Navy ones to the mall one time and dudes who work in the shoe store went crazy. Like “Yo I never seen them before. Where you get them from?”. So either way Im happy. But if they dont drop I can more necks. JUST GIVE US THE COOL GREYS XI’s.

  15. Posted by biggins at January 25, 2010 at 4:32 pm

    I just want the cool grey and white/columbia to come back. Concords too, well you’re at it. Please.

  16. Posted by slim at January 25, 2010 at 4:55 pm

    these are better than the other low top 11s i want these bad

  17. Posted by Robbie at January 25, 2010 at 4:56 pm

    Never liked these and I wont buy them just to buy them

  18. Posted by igetin at January 25, 2010 at 4:57 pm

    I want them all especially the snakeskins and the coolgrey if they come in a pack better for me cause these r 2 sneakers i really want, i really dont care bout the concords but if they drop there mine too

  19. Posted by brando at January 25, 2010 at 4:58 pm

    not fillng the snake skins. never did imo . but i hope the cool greys come out and the concords

  20. Posted by staxx at January 25, 2010 at 5:13 pm

    easy pass for me. didn’t like em then don’t like em now, would only copp white/red lows maybe

  21. Posted by uncle joe at January 25, 2010 at 5:19 pm

    I need these, like now. Hopefully they don’t cancel these.

  22. Posted by Chilly216 at January 25, 2010 at 5:37 pm

    Man i had these in the 9th grade. they need to bring’em back ASAP!!!

  23. Posted by Jordans4me at January 25, 2010 at 5:43 pm

    @DOOM no BS here sir. This IS confirmed like I said. They will release in a pack consisting of the cool greys and the snakeskin lows that is what we know so far. There is time for tem to adjust the contents of the pack but there will be a pack

  24. Posted by d.knott01(detroit fresh) at January 25, 2010 at 5:46 pm

    wow! mj is really doing it big for 2010. remember heads going crazy for these when they dropped. had to be 9th or 10th grade. back when have j’s meant a little more than it does now. sad thing is i know the retail price will be way more than it was 6-7 years ago and the quality will not be as good.

  25. Posted by rdinero22 at January 25, 2010 at 6:00 pm

    i had a jordan release date list from another site that was dead on for 2009 and it said on the bottom in **** that the snakeskins would return in a pack it didn’t say the other sneaker…and it said it would be early 2010…..so maybe there is truth to this rumor.

  26. Posted by Shawn Chris at January 25, 2010 at 6:08 pm

    I have a beat up pair of these in my closet, used to wear ‘em back in college (along with the cool greys). Easily one of the best pair of shoes I’ve ever owned. I’d do anything to have a brand new retro, and believe they will stay in mint condition this time around.

  27. Posted by Styles at January 25, 2010 at 6:30 pm

    OOOO MAN !! i still have my snakeskins from Senior Yr in High School ..
    I beat the chit out of them .. and after so much cleaning, the blue on the leather has worn out !! BUT I WOULD DEF COPE THESE BADBOYS AGAIN !! Without a doubt !!
    Must haves man !!

  28. Posted by wheresdalove312 at January 25, 2010 at 6:34 pm

    oh god no. these one of the worst 11′s ive seen. i never liked them back then and i will never like em now. bring bacl the cool greys. columbias. concords!!!

  29. Posted by flaco at January 25, 2010 at 6:37 pm

    the 11′s are overhyped,im good with my concords n jams..wish they started retroing the best jordans 13′s n 14′s again

  31. Posted by Lildragoon6 at January 25, 2010 at 6:55 pm

  38. Posted by bball23fan at January 25, 2010 at 10:41 pm

    Don’t you all know the cycle is starting all over again and has been forever….2010=2001 all over again…space jams,12′s 6′s….thinks about it,the shoes are tapping a new market,look at the posts here,snakeskin low’s (wore them in college),keep pumping JB with your money,and what do they bring you?the same limited number releases in the same old azz,colors or close to them(if they can make infareds in 2001 why can’t they make them now?),and they want you to think they are exclusive?
    25th anniversary 11′s with no Jumpman?some of you on here call it like you see it,big props for not being fooled by the hype,I have 55 plus retros in my collection,sick of fusions and all the re-releases?,please something new besides old school,how does old school get to be old school,stop taking money for whats old,big respect for the old school,but dont continue to de-value the old school by bringing back the old school,and the new school doesn’t begin with the jordan 2009 or 2010,NA MEAN?

  39. Posted by D-BOYFRESH at January 25, 2010 at 11:08 pm

    MY 01 SNAKE SKINS R STILL DS……. THESE R FRESH AS HELL!!!!!!! IF JB IS GONNA BRING THESE BAD BOYZ OUT, THEY SHOULD BRING THE LOW TOP BREDS & THE COBALT/ZEN GREY OUT 2……. WHITE & RED LOWS PLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!

    I hope these don’t release in a pack with the cool greys…then I will never be able to get em…even tho I want both

  42. Posted by damian at January 26, 2010 at 1:21 am

    I had these as kid as well, I hope they release. I wouldn’t mind grabbing another pair. I hope they release the low 13′s in navy and black. Those are my favorite.

    Still have my pair in the freezer… Every so often I’ll have to bring them out though… Great shoe… Yet I’m conflicted if I actually want these to come out because then I’d possibly not be the only kid (adult) on the block with them anymore…

    and the price goes from $115 to $175…thanks JB! Let’s make the same shoe but make it with cheaper materials and charge more (YAH!)… I love retro’s like the next person but….please, please make less of them. Jordans are becoming an expensive chuck taylor with all these colors and ish. At least sell the shoe for the same price you did b4. That’s like honda bringing back the 94 Accord and charging $90,000 for it.
