When the AIR JORDAN XI's were retroed in 2000-2001 they would prove to become the retro that sold in the highest quantity ever and also the fastest selling Air Jordan’s of all time. The Air Jordan XI’s are considered by most Air Jordan collectors to be the prettiest Air Jordans ever built. The Air Jordan XI’s are the most recognizable Jordans thanks to the shiny black patent leather fronts. Tinker Hatfield designed these Air Jordans while Michael Jordan was retired so it took an additional year before the design of the Air Jordan XI would be approved. Michael Jordan’s goal with the Air Jordan XI was to create a shoe that could be worn as a formal shoe. Many Air Jordan enthusiasts have worn Air Jordan XI’s with suits and other formal attire. The R&B group Boyz II Men wore Air Jordan XI sneakers during their Grammy performance of that year.
