The Air Jordan 11 is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated sneakers of all-time. If you missed out on this weekend's highly-anticipated release of the "Concord" colorway, here are 10 of the best Air Jordan 11 deals available through resellers right now.
Air Jordan XI "Legend Blue"
Price: $250
Where: Holy Grail
The "Legend Blue" Air Jordan XI released to much fanfare in 2014. It is almost identical to the "Columbia" colorway worn by MJ in the 1996 All-Star Game, but the ever-so-subtle difference in the shade of blue used on the Jumpman sets this pair apart. Plus, most of the pairs from 1996 are bright yellow and unwearable at this point anyway. This is a solid substitute.
James Gardin's new single is a warm, festive ode which encapsulates the homely musings that become prevalent during this time of year. Over a memorable melody and delicate drums cooked up by Newselph, James Gardin reaches out to family and friends who are either out of touch or out of sight. With humble sincerity, he poetically encourages them to come back home where the love is. For those no longer with us; he commemorates them posthumously by saving them a seat at the table of his heart.

Best Song On The Record:"Gray" has so much depth lyrically, it touches on recent social issues and calls the church to more action. It is an Ohio all-star show featuring Gray's brother Taelor and Tragic Hero. It isn't a song that can be listened to once. It is a song to sit with. The chorus is an exhortation to the listener, "There's a Heaven and we all wanna go/Does anybody wanna fall on the sword/Take my hand, I just want you to know/Healing begins when you call on the Lord."
Christon Gray is a rule breaker. He does not fit neatly within one genre. Rather, he blends them together, making something that can only be his own. His journey over the years has been the tale of the underdog. This is an artist that should not be counted out or brushed aside. Clear The Heir is an album that will be revisited years from and considered groundbreaking in its own right. Read More Here

THINGS we found along the way
A production assistant for the series “Power” was killed after an on set accident.
Deadline reports that Pedro Jimenez was stuck by an SUV at 4:30 a.m. on Monday (Dec. 10). He was placing parking cones on a Brooklyn street at the time.
As of now, the details surrounding the tragic accident haven’t been released, and Jimenez’s family was quickly notified after he was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of the members of our ‘Power’ family,” said a Starz spokesperson. “Our thoughts are with Mr. Jimenez’ family as we work to fully understand what has happened.”
Since the accident, production of “Power’s” sixth season has been shut down out of respect for Jiminez. It’s also been reported that the driver who hit him was a “Power”crew member as well.

Netflix Original Series Viewing Climbs, but Licensed Content Remains Majority of Total U.S. Streams
Is Netflix moving fast enough to bulk up on originals to offset programming that’s about to get pulled by studios like Disney, Fox and WarnerMedia?
Original content accounted for 37% of Netflix’s U.S. streams in October 2018, up from 24% a year earlier (and just 14% in January 2017), per video-measurement firm 7Park Data. But that means the majority (63%) of Netflix’s viewing is still from licensed content.
For November, NBC’s “The Office” was the most-viewed TV show on Netflix, followed by original series “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” starring Kiernan Shipka.
Warner Bros.-owned “Friends” stood at No. 3 — with its ongoing popularity helping to explain why Netflix was motivated to ink a one-year renewal for the ’90s-era sitcom, in a deal reportedly worth $100 million.
Have a great week folks.
