The Jordan 11 is one of the most recognizable and coveted shoes ever. It pays homage to the time that Michael Jordan retired from basketball in 1993 to play minor league baseball. During that time, Nike didn’t know he was itching to return to the hardwood. Amazingly, and luckily, legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield took matters into his own hands and created this iconic sneaker. Hatfield had a feeling MJ would return, and he hit this shoe design out of the park. When Jordan came back to the NBA, he was wearing the Retro 11 Concord. The next season, he won a championship and was named the finals MVP. These shoes play a huge role in MJ’s legacy, and now your kids can have a piece of it as well.
Throwback Style
The Jordan Retro 11 is one of the most sought-after shoes in the Jordan line, and with good reason. The full-grain leather-and-suede upper is sleek and polished. Inside, the polyurethane midsole has a full-length Air Sole unit for tremendous comfort. The rubber outsole on the bottom provides great traction on and off the court.
These shoes are known for many key technical features. They are equipped with a patent leather upper to help contain the foot during lateral movements. The lightweight ballistic mesh and carbon fiber spring plate deliver even more powerful performance. They also have a patent leather mudguard and a translucent outsole for a recognizable style. Like all Jordan brand shoes, these are packed with supreme style and comfort.
There’s also the Jordan AJ Retro 11 Low. This is a refreshed version of the AJ 11. It has a low collar and blue-and-black accents for style. The genuine leather and fabric upper ensure a lightweight, durable fit, while the Nike Air in the heel provides supreme cushioning with each step. The bottom ensures ideal traction wherever your kids go. And be sure to check out the black/royal Space Jam colorway from the iconic movie. Clearly, this shoe is more than just a basketball shoe.
