SneakHeat (Jordan “BRED” 11 v. Jordan “Cool Grey” 11)
Hey, what’s up guys today I’m going to give yall a quick comparison between two of the most coveted sneakers among sneakerheads worldwide. On today’s chopping block we have: The Jordan “Bred” 11s vs. Jordan “Cool Grey” 11s.
The “Bred” (Black/Red/White) colorway are an OG or original colorway that Michael Jordan himself wore when he played in the NBA, and that colorway on this shoe happens to be the most popular; not only for the simple fact that Michael himself wore them but the contrast of black, red, and white on this Jordan is perfect. The “Breds” were originally released back in April 1995 at the high price of $125 per pair and snatched off the racks faster than this years All-Star Game releases. Since it’s original release it’s been retro’d twice once in ‘01 at the original price of $125 and several years later in ‘08 as a companion in the Countdown Pack (CDP) to the “Taxi” Jordan 12s (White/Black) for a price of $310. And this year we happen to be lucky enough to be getting another re-release of the Breds this upcoming holiday season.
Now don’t sleep on the little brother, the “Cool Grey” Jordan 11s are just as much a trophy among heads. The “Cool Grey” 11 was a colorway that Michael wore just once, in Madison Square Garden for his final game. The Grey/White and translucent sole are perfect on the 11s as well, but they didn’t fly off of shelves like the Bred’s, which can be a result that many fans of the Jordan line didn’t get to see him where them. They were originally released in March 2001 for $125 as well and retro’d just once in December 2010 for the retail price of $175…in some areas.
However, in the matter of debate the sneaker community has spoken year in and year out since its original release and the Bred 11s are one of the most highly demanded sneakers throughout and they happen to be the winner of this debate.
