All roads lead to Concords


the legendary shoe that michael jordan wore in the 1995-1996 season, air jordan xi concords, is perhaps on top of sneakerheads' and basketball fanatics' wishlist this xmas season. what could be the kicks that are easily identified with his airness, the 11s are for sure taking nike stores around the world by storm on its release date tomorrow. thanks to titan, i have my pair "secured" through the green chip and early email registration. but for those who have yet to fall in line and find their way to a pair, looks like it will be a long, narrow, bumpy, and winding road ahead for them.

today and tomorrow, all roads lead to the aj xi concords. here are some of the scenes of camp-outs for the concords around the world:

for those who are copping the concords on its release date, it's all about luck now. for those in line, it's hard to expect something tangible with heavy demand on limited supply. for those at the end of the line, it's not the end of the world. there might be a better release soon - maybe these or some other kicks. there are resellers around, but only diehards will submit to their "rape" prices. and for those who will cop, congratulations for getting the holy grail of your sneaker life. in the end, they're just shoes. they, like the rest of creation, shall pass.
