It’s safe to say they’ve been usurped from the #1-of-2011 throne by the spectacular Nike Mag, but the vast majority of the sneakerhead community couldn’t afford to compete for those ultra-limited auction releases. And now that all the hype has turned from a raging boil down to a gentle simmer, the Air Jordan 11 Retro ‘Concord’ returns to the big spotlight as something like the ‘people’s champ’ of 2011. These are most certainly going to dominate the Christmas sneaker sales charts despite releasing just two days prior to the holiday when your shopping options narrow to 7-11s and Chinese buffets, a fact owing to this shoe’s groundbreaking good looks and the bar-setting performance Michael Jordan issuedwhile wearing them in 1995-96.

In what is to be a busy month for Jordan Brand, June features the Air Jordan 3 ‘True Blue’, the trio of Air Jordan 2011′s and the Air Jordan VII ‘Cardinal’ which follow the long awaited ‘Bordeaux’ and ‘YOTR’ VII’s. The last time the Air Jordan VII ‘Cardinal’ retroed was in 2006 and with the 2011 scheduled to drop in a few weeks there aren’t any real differences, if any at all, between the two. The latest retro of the ‘Cardinal’ VII is sure to be a hit with its release date, which coincides with Nike Free Dynamo high-school graduation Air Jordan 12 ceremonies, as you can’t have a graduation without getting a gift or two. Check out the additional images after the jump and be sure to hit up Wish ATL on release date for your pair, but to score your pair early head over right now to stores online.

The Liberty for Nike Sportswear collection has been building up steady steam as its seasonal collections continue to grow with more models and designs appealing to fashionable tastes of both men and women, and this preview of this upcoming May 2013 release Nike Free 6.0 should have Air Max 1 fans particularly excited. Liberty’s formula of applying one of its fabric prints to the upper stays consistent here, with the upper entirely covered in this confetti-like design arranged like pixelated dots. The mudguard is indeed in a darker shade, while the clean White/Gum sole bright Total Crimson Air Unit provide nice contrast to the pristine upper. These are expected to release this May, so check out the extra angles below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more.
