Last summer, we got a look at a Concord-inspired pair of Air Jordan XI Turf trainers, made exclusively for C.C. Sabathia. Just recently, this cleated version surfaced, which also uses the same Concord-based color scheme. A close up look reveals that there’s no concord to be found on this pair, as tongue graphic has been done in red and the cleated outsole is metallic silver. Concord or not, this is one hot cleat to rock on the football field. This pair was originally listed on eBay by seller cnoriega_2007.
