Michael Jordan's iconic Air Jordan sneakers have graced the big screen in countless titles, but arguably none more recognizable than the 1996 Looney Tunes film “Space Jam” starring MJ himself. He debuted his latest Air Jordan 11 sneakers in a fresh, space-themed colorway that instantly became a hit among movie, basketball, and sneaker fans alike.

The shoes have been retroed in 2000, 2009, and most recently in 2016. Latest pairs have become vintage at this point and fans will be treated to an updated release, slated for the 2026 holiday season.

The classic colorway is identified with Black/Dark Concord-White, almost serving as a direct opposite to the popular Jordan 11 “Concord.” The mesh uppers, laces, and sockliners are all done in black to match the iconic black patent leather mudguard. The midsole is done in white while the outsole will feature an icy translucent hue, typical of each previous release. Lastly, the dark concord is highlighted on the ankle's Jordan Jumpman logo and the tab across the tongue.

The Jordan 11 “Space Jam” is reportedly set to release December 12, 2026 during Jordan Brand's slate of holiday releases. While a price tag has yet to be determined, these could fall in line with the $200-220 marks from recent releases. Expect these to drop on Nike SNKRS app as they should be available in full family sizing.
