Nike Is Suddenly Selling Air Jordan 11 Shoes Again, and They're Going Fast
The Arena Media Brands, LLC and respective content providers may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website. It's one of the most popular Air Jordan shoes of all time, and it's suddenly available for purchase again directly from Nike. Nike is selling Air Jordan 11 Retro "Legend Blue" Men's Shoes for $230. The shoes are a surprise drop by Nike, and they're likely to sell out quickly. Available sizes (at time of publication) range from men's seven to 18 and women's 8.5 to 19.5, but not every size is available. Nike says, "Let's cut to the chase—the AJ11 is all-time. MJ won 72 games and a title while wearing 'em. Now, the icon returns in classic colors. From its slick patent leather mudguard to the frosted outsole, this Tinker Hatfield design brings the off-court allure. And for the final touch? Full-length Air cushioning is the cherry on top (er, bottom)." Buyers have rated these Air Jordan 11 shoes 4.9 stars out of five. "Love these stylish and clean retro 11 Colombias," says a happy Nike shopper. "And I thought Air Jordan 1s were the best! Take one look at these shoes, and you would say that it's a work of art: patented leather, aerodynamic soles, and a clean color ways define this re-issued classic. I just bought my first Air Jordan 1s recently, but this shoe is definitely a design upgrade!" says another. Nike offers free shipping on orders of $75 or more. Nike members get free shipping on orders of $50 or more and free 60-day returns.

$2 Million Worth of Nike Sneakers Have Been Stolen From Trains Over the Last Year
Last year, stolen pairs of the then-unreleased Air Jordan 11 'Legend Blue' worth more than $200,000 were recovered after allegedly being stolen from a train in California. That headline is just the tip of the iceberg of a heist syndicate targeting Nike sneakers, according to an eye-opening Los Angeles Times story connecting 10 thefts over the last year. Ten train burglaries—not robberies because they haven't involved confrontation—have yielded nine successful hauls of valuable Nike sneakers, including nearly 2,000 pairs of the Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 'Brick by Brick' worth more than $440,000 recovered in January in Arizona.

Police say thieves have targeted trains on the BNSF Railway, the largest freight railroad in the U.S. and one with roots that go back to 1849. Sometimes having been tipped off from collaborators at warehouses and trucking companies, and other times merely looking for containers with high-security locks, the alleged criminals slash the air brake hose to cause a train to stop. They'll then open the containers with reciprocating saws or bolt cutters and then alert a 'follow vehicle' to retrieve the stolen goods. The aforementioned Air Jordan 11s were recovered later on from the back of a U-Haul truck. The sneakers from Sylvester's forthcoming collaboration, which releases next month, were also discovered later in a truck after tracking devices in some of the trucks helped lead police to the product. A purported ringleader was arrested last summer, but that hasn't stopped the thefts from continuing. Police believe Felipe Arturo Avalos-Mejia had been involved in train thefts for more than 11 years. Prior to his arrest 74 cases of stolen Nikes, 108 packs of socks and 35 pairs of shoes worth about $94,659 were recovered from a location he allegedly fled. Thefts have also occurred while trains have continued to move slowly during the changing over in tracks. Train staff are told by their employer not to confront thieves, but because trains can be so long and thefts can occur without raising any alerts that instruction often isn't necessary. The remote location of the thefts increases the amount of time it takes authorities to respond should they be notified. 'It's done fast. It's fast as lightning,' Keith Lewis, vice president of operations at CargoNet, a private company that provides supply-chain theft intelligence to law enforcement, told the Arizona Republic in a story about the Air Jordan 4 heist. 'A lot of those areas you can't get to other than with a helicopter… You can't even get to some of those rail tracks with off-road vehicles.'
