Top 10 Sneaker Releases of 2011 by ATB Affiliate D. Ruff!

D. Ruff, the At The Buzzer League Co-Director & ATB supporter since Day 1, put together his list of the top 10 sneaker releases of 2011. Signing in all the way from Miami! Enjoy!

Honorable Mention: Adidas x Bape “B-Side”

I don’t really buy Adidas, but the materials and colorway on these are so crazy, I had to cop them.

10. AF1 Year of the Rabbit

I guess cause I’m old I’m still a big AF1 head. The materials and colorway on these were top notch, so I had to put them on my list.

9. Air Foamposite One “Pewter”

I could’ve easily selected the royal blue or the electric green colorway but these foams were different and stand out the most to me.

8. Air Max Penny 1 “Orlando”

I was glad Nike brought these back cause these were my senior year in high school sneakers, straight classic heat.

7. Air Jordan 3 Retro “Black History Month”

Of course 2011 was the year of the 3 with Jordan Brand dropping 3 OG colorways but I really liked the significance and the design of the BHM 3, dope shoe.

6. Air Jordan 1 Retro High “Banned”

I was fortunate to get a pair at retail price and the materials and flip on these old school classic was epic.

5. Air Jordan 11 Retro “Concord”

Probably would be number 1 if I didn’t already own an OG pair and a pair from 2000. Classic timeless shoe.

4. Air Jordan 13 Retro “Ray Allen PE”

Another shoe I feel fortunate to have got at retail price. As a Celtics/basketball/Jordan fan these were a dream come true. Thanks Jordan Brand, next up just release those white and gold XI’s Ray Allen wore.

3. Air Jordan 5 Retro T23 “Tokyo”

A yellow 5???? I’m a big 5 fan so when I saw these I was hooked. Unfortunately I don’t own a pair so if you have these in a size 10 for a reasonable price get at me.
