Air Jordan 11/12 Countdown Package

With that said, Nice Kicks would like to take you back into the past to share with us your thoughts during that exact moment.

Did you buy the Air Jordan 11/12 Countdown Pack? Was it worth the $310? If you did not purchase it, are you wishing you would have now? Last but not least, was it the best Jordan release of 2008?? Click here to share with us your thoughts on the Air Jordan 11/12 CDP!

    I think this year is crazier then last year.
    What’s gonna happen next year when Jordan releases another Jordan Shoe, perhaps the Cool Grey 11s or the White Columbia 11s… just wait, mark my words!

  • gotjordans?

    and for the record, I copped 1 pack, well worth it.
    I know some peeps that copped several packs though… smh

  • gotmines

    I didn’t manage to get these because i was working very late and couldn’t camp out or anything like that. However i did manage to go to DunkXchange in NYC this past summer and copped the Retro XI’s Bred (the second ones) for $160!!! Guy was legit and super cool! I am so happy i got even better ones through perseverance for less!!!!!

  • JL

    the year of the VI’s next year, the VI’s I like the most

  • SCOLIA

    WITH THE RELEASE OF THE 6S COMING IN 3 COLORWAYS 2010 IS LOOKING GREAT FOR JORDAN FANS

  • Junior Al

    I tried copping them on eastbay but it crashed. I just wish my order went through with this pack.

  • seffske

  • MEXIKAN JORDAN

    OH YES I SO HOPPED ON THESE!!!! THESE WERE DA SHOES 2 BUY LAST YEAR. I KNOW I SOME MY XMAS BONUS ON THEM. GLAD I GOT THEM!!! NO REGETS!!!!!

  • Kazilla

    I remember I took the bus to the mall because of the snow. I got there a little after Champs Sports opened. It was interesting because there was absolutely no customers in the store so I thought they didn’t have them. I asked and they had only two packs left and one of them was my size. Bought them and went home so so easy, haha.

  • Trigga

    I got these for sale size 9.5 anyone interested DS.

  • IAMTHESOUTH

    i missed out on them, but i put my spacejams with the red and white 12′s and thats my package, but i hop i can somehow still get this package

  • supremekickz

    i had the money but i had no ride to go to the mall last xmas when these dropped. but i got the jams and the white and red 12′s. so i like the pack that i put together. haha

  • joje

    i got a cand on thiz ones ,my 12′s r all messed up but my 11′s r like new still

  • Z

    I camped like 15 hours for this pack, was 1 of the funniest and best notes I had in a long time! Def worth the $500aus I paid for them! I’ve havnt wore them and never will love them to bits! Z

  • Coach K

    Got my pair last year. 3rd in line. Had 2 wait 3 hrs. I loved the purchase but the FinishLine I bought them from didnt have any half sizes. Thats cool bc I wear a 9! Turns out it wasnt cool bc the 11′s run so small! Point being, I only wore them once bc my foot was n so much pain after wearin the 11′s. Havnt wore them since. Keepin them on ice aint that bad I guess!

  • littlph

    yeah this pack was sick i stood outside for like 2 or 3 hrs for this pack i was so happy when i got mine too from champs now come around this year again with the space jams and camped out again at champs and copped them also which is better quality xi than the bred xi’s in the pack but it was absolutely worth it would do it again if i had too!!!

  • the blue hefner

    I remember wen these came out, i went halfs wit my friend cuz i wanted the 11s and he wanted the 12, lol,

  • versatile

    I brought em and it was probably the best 310 I ever spent I love those 11′s the 12′s are ok too. Gas to Mall $20.00. Package with the 11/12′s $310.00. To see the look on the haters face who weren’t able to get them priceless

  • PHresH goonie

    for sure i copped em didnt pay $310 for them i paid $210 they were worth standin on line for but i really wouldnt call them the best package of 08, i think the 7 and 16 package was the best hands down. still got em both PHresH in the box.

  • vava

    THIS PACKAGE WAS WORTH MY $310. $341 WITH TAX AND ALL TO BE EXACT. IM GLAD I COPPED THEM

  • duke

    If it wasn’t for my wife I wouldn’t have got they I plan going to the mall around 1am or 2am.well while I was watching Kobe I heard her yelling and she was online and the sold out in too minutes so she said get the and leave now when I got their I was like the 20th person in line and this was around 10pm I love my wife

  • dmy

    this was the best pack to me. didn’t snatch em up though b/c i was at school. i was hurting for those the entire 09 year. given that i got both the white/red XIIs and the space jams for 242 after taxes, guess the hurting isn’t as severe, but i STILL would love to get these. if the 20/3 pack came with the stealth 20s, it would give the ‘grand finale’ pack a run for its money . . . pun intended.

    p.s. if black/red jordans are ‘breds’, are red/white jordans “writes”? just food for thought.

  • Dreymian Marley

    Air Jordan CDP 13s and 7s together $200 -http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330387508545&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

  • ak01

    I remember camping out in the cold for these and running a marathon to finish line when they opened the doors…it was definitly worth it though this was hands down the best package of 08,got my space jams this morning I can’t stop looking at them

  • greenmaker24

    this was a nice pack

  • Yowza

    I was working at Foot Locker at the time and we were open 24 hours cause of the Holiday Hours (it was in a mall) and i remembered i went to my brother’s ex-wife crib across the street, slept for 4 hours, went back to Foot Locker and got my pair AND i didnt wait on no long ass line LOL the perks i had wen i worked there :-)

  • Freshallday

    Got these a week early didn’t wait in any lines for these got all the hot packages and got my space jams last monday both pairs and didn’t wait in any lines not bad $200 each it was def worth the extra $25

  • XkrispyELI

    glad i picked these up last year. Bred xi’s my favorite, so i cant complain.

  • simOn

    I paid a little more than 341 but it was definitely worth it because it has my favorite XII and
    the legendary XI !!!

  • Jo_ Nathan

    I waited 7 hrs for this pack at a foot locker and didn’t even geta pack. I was the 2nd person that wore size 13 n total of 11 heads. The gay ass manager had but hella packs aside and alot of us were pissed. It wasn’t until 6 months down the road that sum dude was selling His 11′s from his pack for only$175 on Craigslist. That’s when I knew that there was a god and I came up.

  • P.L.

    I passed on these when they dropped and I have no clue why. lol

  • fR3sH 2T

    hell yea it was worth it ,ijust had2 get apair iended up getn a9.5 n iwear 11 me n my boi GUILLOTINE went2 3malls lol

  • Poopie Pete

    was it worth it. yes. i got a great experience with other sneaker heads. i still got my nds. i broke them out twice. WEAR YOUR SHOES

  • Pop

    Best release of 2008 is the CDP 6/17.
    I saw 11/12 pack at outlet. But I didnt get it because of the quality.
    I am 100% sure my decision was right.

  • MarkA

    I paid 310 for my space jams… worht it though.

  • Veara_Seng

    I was in Lawrence, Ma at Eblem and was the first in line to get these.. It was a blizzard condidtion in New England but well worth it. I remember I had to buy a fresh pair of socks right away bc I couldnt feel my feet.

  • rauls054

    its funny i was at worcester location dtw at eblens i was the only one there and all that snow but i dont think it was worth it

  • max

    not worth it because i copped the space jams which are better than the breds and i copped the white and red 12′s which are better than the tax’s and guess what both those kicks are less than the 310 for the pack and better quality any way, hey good pack tho

  • Anth Only

    I copped the 11/12 pack last year. The white/red 12′s and space jams were also copped. Jordan Brand saves the best releases for December. Holla!

  • BXBOMBER

    i hit arundel mills in md and found out no store had recieved shipment , so i called up my girl n told her to head to the sports zone in bowie ,md and she had copd the last size 8 in the store……although i was not lucky enuff to cop the space jams dis time around i did cop dem back in 2000…… ima a sucker for breds in any shoe so i was mad happy wit that pack…..

  • freddy krugers therapist

    BXBOOMER THEY HAD THEM THANKGS AT ARUNDLE I WORKED AT DUCLAW WHEN THEY RELEASED …. I GOT MINE FROM THERE. THEY HAD UM AT SPORTS ZONE AND AT FOOTLOCKER LOL . THEY JUST SOLD THEM TO PPL WHO THEY KNEW

  • Cloud

    I passed on this pack but I wish I didn’t. I copped 2 pair of space jams at retail price and a pair of red/white 12′s. Plus I got a retro pair of playoff 12′s so that helps ease the pain of not owning this pack.

  • orlando

    I was in line for that pack from 11:30 pm until 9 am. I actually saw some of the same cats in line for the Space Jam. It was fun reminiscing in the SJ line about that 11/12 pack we were all suffering through. Unfortuantly the SJ line was worse begining at 11:00 am

  • big dre

    i remember my son and i waiting for these last year. this was the best pack by far(6/17 gets an honorable mention bc of the carmines). i still havent even worn mines yet. plus i got the space jams. damn they are incredible

  • Kingjames2488

    I GOT THESE LAST YEAR…MAN I WAITED IN LINE FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS LUCKLY I KNEW SOMEONE AND SKIPPED…I WANTED THESE SHOES SO BAD THAT I SETTLED FOR A 10 WHEN I WEAR A 10.5….. MY 11′S ARE STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDIITION EVEN THO THEY FIT A LITTLE SNUG..AND AS FOR MY 12′S…THEY ARE A DAILY SHOE NOW…BUT IM A JORDAN FIEND AND HAVE SPACE JAMS, AND ALL THEW 12′S

  • nt

    yep worth the 450NZ i paid for em.didnt even have to line up just walked straight in FL the next day..copped the spacejams and the wht/red 12s last week which are a better combo imo

  • 909 Pina

    Other than the 13′s and 1′s. These shoes have alot of history. A lot of games won in these. And fan favorites. 11′s are and 12′s together are well worth it. I think it should be 400$ and still be a good pack. Thats just me though. Think about it. These 11′s are valued around 500. AT LEAST. and ur getting them in a pack for 310.

  • 4000

    passed up on these, and looking back i still wouldnt get them. especially since spacejams and i wear gs so i could get the purple 12s so its all cool

  • Dometrice…Futuristic Shoe FreakK

    Yea im Pissed Cause the space james came out and all these 12s i really like but i dont wanna waste money like dat cause i have the package but i got the space james anyway even tho they are the same to me just the space jams or clear at bottom but i couldnt resist . space jam was like my all time fav movie when i was younger and i told my mom to get the purple and black 12s for me for christmas yea i wea kid size so basically it like a different colorway of the packagei got but its worth it cause ima jordan futuristic freaKk Different Jays On Er DaY… And yea the 11/12 PACKAGE was the best release of 2008 Got So Many CanT Remember WhaT Came OuT

  • Dometrice…Futuristic Shoe FreakK

    Yea it was worth 310 to Me i Love Jays and these made many of history people who didnt wear jays noticed the shoes like those remind me of jordan it made me proud to rock em for em and even tho i got the package i got the space jams and the package was he best release of 2008

  • Dometrice…Futuristic Shoe FreakK

    BEST OF 2008 AND TO ME THESE ARE THE BEST OF DA JAYS SORTY CLASSY AND FUTURISTIC

  • Manni3Fr3sh

    I was outside 4 3 hours with my co-worker, left my wife at home and everything it was worth buying thm. Thee 11′s ran small but as long as I have them I am happy. The Best shoes come out in Dec. if you haven’t notice CDP 11/12 last year and now Space Jams 11′s Keep It Coming JB

  • alexthebay23

  • Lebron James the New Shoe KING!

    Oh yeah i got my pack day 1 its pays to have people on the inside, and the space jams r the bomb!!!

  • berniec

    I was lucky with my 11/12 pack. this guy in front of me in line was going to snatch the only size 12 available. so I decided to settle for a size 11.5. but when he went to pay his wife forgot their check book. he tried to use a credit card but it was maxed out. he then asked the manager if he could go get his check book. the guy said if you leave you loose your spot. I thought the guy was going to cry! I ended up getting those size 12′s and also the 11.5. it was my lucky day!!

  • reggie tatz

    I got dat pack lst year and they were kool but in all honesty, the 11s kind of sucked becuz of the quality. They r kind of uncomfortable 4real but the 12s are the truth. I got da space jams but havent tried dem on yet. hope they dont fit like da cdp breds.

  • reggie tatz

    oh yea.. they were the best release of 08

  • Juss20

    anyone who has a pack for sale? size 10 or anything close to it?

  • flipmode

    @el duro 9.5!? that’s my size. get at me

  • kiddcool

  • ROC

    i stood n line for nuthing, but didnt camp out, i jus couldnt do it…but when i herd the pairs, i was really gettin pissed n da nike store couldve told us that instead of having ppl campin out for nuthing.i knew a guy who work wit me at the factory, he spent the night over there wen we got off early at 9:30 pm.i stood n line around 6:30 pm i think.it was my first time standing in line, so before the store open at 9am, dey was givin out tickets so since im a temp over there, i didnt know they split up lines for Nike employees n temps, by the time he came to me n i show my badge, he kinda giglle a lil n said “bruh, da temp line over there”so i said aw ok wit no frustration.i seen the first 10 ppl walked out wit no package n pissed n im like wth.it was so many employees out there so by the time our line start, i new it was wrap on those package.i saw my co-worker was super piss n he told me”MANE THEY GOT 7…12…14….15″wit an anger, so i got mad 2 since i herd my size 9 skiped…it made my day horrible n said forget it…but since i got the hook-up on the space jam 11s…..YESSSSIIIIIRRRR…officai!!!!!

  • ImanHanaan

    This was a great pack, because both pairs are retro and stylish. i wish they would come back out so i can purchase them for the black and white 12′s. Hoping and wishing jordan comes out with the 2′s in a pack or just and individual pair..
