Air Jordan 11

The Air Jordan 11 is a basketball shoe designed by Tinker Hatfield for Michael Jordan. It first debuted on the basketball floor in 1995 when MJ first came out of retirement, and served as one of the main options that he wore during the season that would eventually resulted in his fourth championship title. The famous picture of Jordan lying on the floor after winning the NBA Finals that year displays him wearing the popular Bred colorway. When it originally arrived on the market in 1996, many were drawn to its design as it was unlike anything consumers had ever seen before. The combination of ballistic mesh materials wrap-around patent leather mudguards, icy outsoles, and carbon fiber midsole plates provided a sporty-yet-formal concept.

On top of continuing to be a best-seller, Jordan himself has cited the model as his favorite. Some of its most popular versions include mid-profile colorways such as the Concords, Cool Greys, and Space Jams, as well as the Bred 11s whose last retro release back in December of 2019 was deemed Nike’s best-selling sneaker in history.

One of the most storied traditions in Jordan Brand history is the annual Jordan 11 holiday release. After more than a decade of massive drops, Jordan Brand is doubling up in 2024- the Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” returns as the main attraction this year. A month prior, the Jordan 11 “Velvet Bred” will arrive, bringing the classic colorway toward the “Reimagined” Canon. 2025’s Holiday drop has already been teased, with a “Black/Red/Grey” colorway set to drop next December.

On the flip side, the Low version of the model has carved out serious real estate as a part of the Summer slate, and that isn’t changing this year. The  Jordan 11 Low “Diffused Blue” drops in August, picking up where the “Legend Pink” left off just a few months prior. Again looking ahead, the Jordan 11 Low “Bred” and Jordan 11 Low “Igloo” are already set for next Summer.
