The XI Story
There’s some serious history behind the Jordan Retro 11 collection. The range made its debut in 1995, around the time Michael Jordan was dabbling in baseball. The shoe was a mere sample when MJ made the decision to return to the basketball court, but he wore them throughout his return season all the way to the winning game.
With such a lofty background, it’s no wonder the Jordan Retro 11 shoe has undergone the retro treatment so many times. New interpretations were sporadically released beginning in 2000. The 2019 edition celebrates the iconic 2001 Retro 11 Low in Blue Snakeskin, a fierce sneaker that combines clean, supple white leather with contrasting glossy blue leather bearing a snakeskin pattern. A virtually identical replica for the ’01 shoe, this dynamic version is a perfect match with other pieces in the collection, like snakeskin-patterned shorts and tops.
Premium Perfection
Any shoe that is a Jordan Jumpman shoe has to live up to the hype of what it means to carry the Jumpman logo. With sleek leather and animal-print accents, the sneakers also boast ripstop lace fronts and a sturdy Phylon midsole that promotes soft cushioning, flexibility, and stability with each step. Reflective accents allow for optimal visibility after sunset, while a herringbone imprint on the outsole promotes superior grip.
Not to be outdone, the Jordan clothing in the collection is equally impressive. Light and airy fabrics help you stay comfortable while you’re doing your best MJ impression on the court, while bold graphics honor the game’s greatest. Features like Dri-FIT technology pull moisture from the skin so you stay cool and dry no matter how hard you go. Mix and match your favorites with different types of athletic apparel, including joggers, sweatpants, and hoodies to build a customized wardrobe perfect for year-round wear.
