Jordan Brand celebrates its 30th anniversary with the biggest Air Jordan retro release of the year on Saturday, December 12. The Air Jordan 11 is the most popular of MJ’s signature shoes and the newest rendition honors the marvelous 1995/96 season of the Chicago Bulls. Jordan had come back from retirement towards the end of the previous season but it was this season that he really shined. He carried the Bulls to a magnificent 72-10 regular season record – thus the name of the new colorway. The Bulls continued this run through the playoffs (15-3) and rewarded themselves with the first championship after MJ’s (first) comeback. They took revenge on the Orlando Magic who had beaten them in the previous season’s playoffs and won the NBA Finals against the Seattle SuperSonics.
The 72-10 regular season record is the best single-season record in NBA history – no other team has ever recorded more than 70 wins (so far – let’s see what the Warriors can do). Needless to say, for the Bulls it was also one of the best single-season improvements. Jordan won the triplet of NBA MVP, All-Star MVP and Finals MVP. But his teammates weren’t that bad either. Ron Harper, MJ, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Luc Longley were already a great line-up. But then the Bulls also had one of the best benches in league history with Steve Kerr, Tony Kukoc, William Percy Wennington, Jud Buechler and Randy Brown. And, of course, you can’t forget about Phil Jackson who won Coach of the Year. Kukoc was named Sixth Man of the Year while Jordan, Pippen and Rodman made the All-Defensive First Team. Pretty impressive.
The Air Jordan 11 Retro “72-10” comes with premium tumbled leather, a translucent outsole and the signature shiny patent leather. Check below for all the important release info and more detail shots as well as the whole family line-up of Grade School, Pre-School and Toddler sizes.
