I've never been a fan of Jordans, finding them too trendy and the type of footwear worn by hypebeasts, a group in which I hope to never consider myself a member. However, I just copped a nice pair of sweatpants and noticed that none of my current footwear goes with it. I've never been much of a sneaker guy, the last pair being some Fear of God runners I purchased out of respect for Jerry Lorenzo more than any liking I might have taken to the pair. I think I've only worn them twice. With that said, I decided to cop a pair of sneakers that's high quality, minimal in appearance, and of a color scheme that complements my grey sweatpants. I decided on these.

Air Jordan 11 Retro Concord 2018 from Flight Club.

For those of you in the know, are these a good get? Should I opt for the 4s? I like the look them more, but feel that this has a more....mature?.....look to it. The 4s seem too kiddie, if that makes sense.

$570 for these, though StockX has them for $100 cheaper. Problem with that is, StockX takes a lot longer to ship, since they're a middle man who has to verify the authenticity of the shoe before shipping it out to the buyer. So, let's say you have a pair of dead stock Yeezy's. While you can post the pair on StockX, they won't take receipt of them until someone either purchases them outright or makes a bid that you agree to. At which point, you'd then ship it to StockX to confirm they're legit before they ship the pair to whomever purchased it from you.

Have you seen them in person?
Quality has fallen off and they def not minimal in appearance . Plus you gotta worry about the sole getting discolored. You better off with the 10s

Those are kind of clean. :ehh: I haven't seen them in person, but I've seen people rock them. You're right, in that the patent leather definitely isn't minimal. I just like the simple color scheme.

The ones on GOAT are a lot cheaper. Are they the same release?

you have to make sure you’re selecting concords 2018 and not 2011 when you search for concords on the goat app, and yes they are. Don’t ever buy from flightclub they are ripping you off bad. For example size the size 9.5 on flight club is 1000, but they resell everywhere else for only like 500 :mjtf:

I think it's because they ship instantly. Some people are willing to pay a premium for immediate delivery. I'll definitely look into GOAT and other options.

Flight Club has the 2011 release for the same price as the 2018 drop. Is there any difference in their quality? I'm guessing the 2011 is higher quality, since standards were a lot stricter then than they are now.
