Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Space Jam' (2016)
Tune Squad. Legendary. The Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Space Jam' (2016) is one of the most culturally significant and most universally celebrated sneaker releases of the modern era — a faithful retro of the exact shoe Michael Jordan wore in the 1996 film Space Jam, a movie that cemented his status not just as the greatest basketball player of all time but as the most iconic athlete in popular culture history. The Space Jam AJ11 is not just a sneaker. It is a cultural artifact.
Black patent leather wraps the AJ11's iconic mudguard in the deep, mirror-like finish that defines the silhouette's most celebrated colorways, while a white ballistic mesh upper and concord purple accent detailing complete the Tune Squad color story with the same color-blocking that appeared on screen in 1996. The '23' Jumpman branding and the AJ11's distinctive translucent outsole with the Jumpman pattern complete a shoe that looks as extraordinary today as it did the first time Michael Jordan laced it up alongside Bugs Bunny.
Designed by Tinker Hatfield for Michael Jordan's return to basketball in 1995, the Air Jordan 11 was the most technologically advanced basketball shoe of its era — patent leather mudguard, full-length Air unit, carbon fiber shank plate, and Zoom Air cushioning in a package that redefined what a performance basketball shoe could look like. In the 'Space Jam' colorway, all of that innovation comes wrapped in the most nostalgic and beloved color story in Jordan Brand history.
