Chance the Rapper surprised an auditorium full of screaming teenagers by giving away brand new Air Jordan 11s during his monthly OpenMike event in Chicago.
The OpenMike night serves as a “safe space” for the teenagers. In the video, the rapper is seen unboxing one of the sneakers, which isn’t available in stores until December 9. Behind him is a wall of Air Jordan shoe boxes.
Jordan Brand released two new colorways of the Jordan 11 sneakers (“Win Like ’82”) and the new “Win Like ’96” in red. The red Air Jordan 11 pays homage to the ’96 Chicago Bulls. The shoe will retail for $220 when it hits stores.
That’s a nice Oprah thing to do Chance. Let’s see how many people are going to say he should have given them a savings bond instead of Jordans…..
I definitely wouldn’t give them anything they can walk down the street and get killed for in Chicago
*giggles*

sneakers in black/white (“Win Like ’82”)
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Nope says the UNC fan.
“Win Like 82’s” are homage to the 1982 Tarheel squad. they are blue and white. Blue jumpman.
I hate Jordan; but dont do my ‘Heels like that man.
Won’t that make them a target? ?????
Smh
Thought he had more substance than that! Awesome gesture, wrong city!
?
Its about to start.
While this is a very kind gesture, I hope these kids are not hurt over these sneaks.
Good point. I would put the sneakers on eBay tonight for $300.
and then 8 of them were shot down for the jordans
Yea a little materialistic for my taste. The shoes have little value when it comes to helping those kids progress. He coulda gave out tablets or something. Things that can objectively used for developing minds not egos and making them targets
I swear I was thinking along those same lines.
I concur.
Tablet or laptop with some time of program for learning would have been perfect.
The gesture is there, but the execution is slightly off
Hows about books? Books are better than tablets.

Let me know when the first child gets shot over thier pair… It would be a hard pass for me. Issa no for me dog.
Jordans in 2017? Why not some books, laptops, after school activities? These kids and their whole entire families and friends are going to be forever loyal to this dude all because of stupid Jordan sneakers.
Yep, that’s what inner city Chicago kids need…gym shoes?!?! They’ll be shot by the end of next week for wearing them to school. Wait, are there any schools still open? Rahm is damn near closing every public high school in the hood due to “poor attendance”. Coincidence that this decision was made after Chance challenged Rahm about the new and improved CPD training facility in the works of being built on the West Side. One of the schools being closed is Paul Roberson, and if I’m not mistaken, Chance graduated from that school. Honestly, I agreed with Rahm about the CPD facility. I love The Chi, but its out of control.
Clown. Speak facts or hush.
Nice gesture.
I’m not your mother, you have me confused. If I was in error, feel free to interject with a correction. I won’t get offended.
