Description
While Tinker Hatfield was responsible for the eventual silhouette of the sneaker, the Jordan 11 was inspired by Michael Jordan’s dream to have something that could be worn both on the basketball court and in formal settings. He wanted patent leather Jordans that would merge both worlds. Hatfield listened and created the striking Jordan XIs known today. Michael Jordan loved the sneaker so much that it was his choice of apparel for many NBA championships. He even wore them in the beloved movie “Space Jam.” Originally released in 1995, the original colorway was named Concord due to the grape color used on the sole. This striking, mostly black-and-white color scheme led to other releases in a variety of colorways. Some of the most popular are Bred, a black and red variant, Snake Skin, and the Jordan 11 Retro Space Jams. There have been a few recent Retro 11 releases as well. Jordan Retro 11 sneakers like Legend Blue, True Red White, Cool Grey, Sail, and Varsity Red have all been released in the past few years.
