The Air Jordan 11 "Concord" is the gold standard. This is the shoe that changed the sneaker game when MJ laced them up during the 1995-96 season on his way to 72 wins. The white leather, the black patent leather mudguard, and that pop of Concord purple on the Jumpman and outsole — it's the most recognizable Jordan ever made. If you only own one pair of 11s in your life, this is the one. Let's get into it.

Where Can You Buy the Air Jordan 11 'Concord' Right Now?

Check StockX and GOAT side by side — on a shoe this high-profile, platform spreads on your size can be meaningful. The 2018 retro retail window is closed, so StockX, GOAT, and Flight Club are the realistic options across all release years.

Use the style code 378037-100 for the 2018 retro to lock onto accurate listings before you start comparing. The Concord 11 moves enough volume across all three platforms that your size will be available — the question is which platform has it at the best price. On a shoe that consistently holds strong resale premiums, a few minutes of comparison shopping is worth the time.

What Makes the Air Jordan 11 'Concord' Stand Out?

The 72-win season connection is what gives it the most weight — MJ wore these in every regular season game during the greatest team season in NBA history. Every Air Jordan 11 colorway carries something. The Concord carries the entire 1995-96 Bulls season on its back — 82 games, 30.4 points per night, and a fourth championship at the end of it. No other AJ11 colorway has that.

The design earns that history. A white ballistic mesh and full-grain leather upper, a black patent mudguard that Tinker Hatfield designed after the spats worn by jazz-age entertainers, a translucent icy outsole with Concord purple hits, a full-length Air-Sole unit, and a carbon-fiber shank plate — all of it coming together in the first basketball shoe ever built to wear with a suit. MJ debuted the Concord under a league ban in May 1995, and by the time it released to the public that November, it had already changed the conversation about what a basketball sneaker could be.

Should You Buy the Air Jordan 11 'Concord' on Resale?

The 2018 retro (378037-100) is the most OG-faithful version available — the '45' heel, the build, and the materials are as close to the original as the public has ever gotten. Nike's own SNKRS page frames it as an "exact recreation" of MJ's original pair, and the '45' on the heel mirrors the number Jordan wore during his 1995 playoff debut before switching back to 23. This is the version to target.

It was one of the best-selling single sneaker releases ever when it dropped in December 2018, and clean pairs in common sizes remain available on StockX and GOAT at reasonable premiums above the $220 retail. For the most historically significant AJ11 colorway in existence, the current resale market is still one of the most accessible entry points the Concord has ever offered.
