Yes, you read that right.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Air Jordan 11, the storied silhouette returns with community-driven stories from around the world, featuring unexpected colors, textures, and materials that completely flip the script.
Jordan Brand’s efforts to deliver stories that resonate with the global audience will leave the sneaker community spoiled this Holiday season, as nine pairs are expected to release this Fall.
Headlining the collection is the returning Gamma Air Jordan 11. Originally released in 2013, the Gamma 11 arrived as the tide changed. Thanks to the popularity of the Christmas-time releases, the Air Jordan 11 had become the pinnacle of retro sneakers. The AJ11’s first all-black colorway isn’t seen but felt with accents of Gamma Blue heat. The signature patent leather mudguard, translucent outsole, and nylon mesh light up the night with unmistakably high energy. The Gamma 11 is expected to return on December 13th.
The ladies will receive an exclusive, and classy, pair of Air Jordan 11s on November 11th. The Women’s Air Jordan 11 “Pearl” features pearlescent details and a premium Sail leather upper that nod to timeless traditions and raise the stakes with new energy. Wide ribbon laces and a freshwater pearl keychain create further distinction — daring others to look.
Introduced earlier this year, the Rare Air line has found a new way to celebrate the long process of creating a sneaker. The Jordan 11 will close out the series with a bang. The Air Jordan 11 “Rare Air” features a custom colorway with red and blue color-blocking and a tinted outsole. The Jordan letter insignia along the eyelets reminds athletes to lace up with greatness and step on uncommon ground, all with a touch of heritage. Expect the Rare Air 11 to begin hitting retailers on October 1st.
The “Inner Beast” Air Jordan will be the brand’s first standalone kids’ Air Jordan 11. The pair will channel MJ’s relentless work ethic on and off the court, along with his “black cat” persona. Every detail ties back to MJ’s stealth and fierceness on the court — from the cat-scratch graphic, velvet camouflage and premium leather to the embroidered Jumpman and glow-in-the-dark outsole. This bold design encourages the next generation to show up as their most brave, confident and authentic selves. The kiddos can expect this pair on shelves on October 4th.
Included in a North America region-specific Air Jordan 11 pack, the Air Jordan 11 “Mojave” embraces the unexpected narrative of the outdoors through an aged nubuck upper that takes on a purple shade reminiscent of Las Vegas’ red rocks sunsets. The silhouette embodies the dry, sun-bleached textures of the city’s buildings, with premium materials calling to mind the thriving antique and vintage markets residents know and love. A reflective Jumpman and edges remind of Vegas’ bright lights, and a gold, carbon fiber outsole plate speaks to the opulence of the Strip. The Mojave 11 will release exclusively in-store at select retail partners in North America on November 22nd.
Simple. Elevated. Premium. Also releasing exclusively in North America, the Air Jordan 11 “H-Town” channels Houston’s famous hustle by representing the trunk of a car: locals’ first boutique when they’re coming up, and the first flex when they get there. Nuanced and intentional details include a silk suede upper and a chrome Jumpman logo. The H-Town 11 will release exclusively in-store at select retail partners in North America on November 22nd.
The third, and the final inclusion in a North America region-specific Air Jordan 11 pack, the Air Jordan 11 “285” embraces the ATL with an exclusive design that pays homage to Interstate 285, which encircles the city and encapsulates its vibrant culture. A leather upper gives the silhouette a premium feel, while a debossed route around the mudguard provides a distinctly local look. A multicolor sock liner and footbed lend an additional tribute to Atlanta’s street art culture. The 285 Air Jordan 11 arrives on the same day- on November 22nd and will release exclusively in-store at select retail partners in North America.
Releasing on December 1st is a tribute to MJ’s longstanding connection to China and Jordan Brand’s commitment to growing the game globally. The Air Jordan 11 “China” honors the country’s growing hoops scene. A canvas and suede upper, decked with an embroidered and beaded pattern, pairs with a brown leather mudguard, suede midsole, gum outsole and silk lining to offer a uniquely crafted expression of the iconic silhouette. The pair is expected to release exclusively in China across Jordan Brand and Nike digital channels and select retail locations
Last, but certainly not least, Jordan Brand will honor Japan. Through traditional Japanese embroidery, the Air Jordan 11 “Tokyo” connects vintage and modern themes — respecting the past while remixing it for a new generation. This is brought to life through a special-edition silhouette featuring embroidery, traditionally used to give new life and longevity to well-loved garments. A gradient leather mudguard, suede upper and edge piping give the silhouette an elevated look and feel, while a map on the outsole nods to MJ’s championship path. The Tokyo 11 will release exclusively to Japan sometime in the Spring of 2026.
The Air Jordan 11 styles will be available across SNKRS, Nike digital channels, Nike and Jordan Brand stores, and select retail partners.
