Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Space Jam, Nike will release a huge apparel and footwear capsule, but this will surely be the centrepiece.

The shoe that Michael Jordan originally wore in the animated movie, then in the NBA, is being reimagined for the special occasion.

As such, this release pays homage to the pair Jordan wore during the 1995 NBA Playoffs.

This packaging for the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” comes in a Looney Tunes and Bugs Bunny theme throughout the three layers box set.

Just above it, the number ’45’ is stitched into the heel tab, rather than the more familiar ’23’ (Jordan wore the number ’45’ during the ’95 season, after he came out of retirement).

Other details include the Concord blue Jumpman logo, Nike Air insoles, a white midsole and translucent outsole, as well as ‘Jumpman’ inscribed on the tongue tab.

the Space Jams will be housed in special edition Looney Tunes and Bugs Bunny themed shoebox.

This will include an illustration of Bugs Bunny and The Monsters creating the number ’23’ by wrapping their arms around each other, while the number ’45’ will be on the wrapping paper, and a dot pattern ‘XI’ on the plastic cover.

The Air Jordan 11 is a legendary Tinker Hatfield-designed sneaker that stands out as both the favorite of Jordan himself and the sneaker designer. Originally released in 1995, the Air Jordan 11 shoes made NBA history during Michael Jordan’s legendary 72-10 season with the Bulls.The Air Jordan XI is one of the most popular Air Jordans in the series and is Hatfield’s favorite.

How much do Jordan 11s weigh?

16.5 ounces which is half an ounce more than the X which I wrote about last week. I can almost guarantee people will say it doesn’t feel heavy while they say the X does.

Pros: SEXY, traction when clean, cushioning, fit, stability, containment

Cons: traction gets iffy when rubber gets harder/older and can get slick on dusty floors, cushioning could be updated but not needed, carbon fiber makes shoe stiffer than newer shoes
