The Air Jordan XI Low first released with shining patent leather during the model's initial retro run in the early 2000s. The retro icon replaced ballistic mesh with premium leather, combined with a vibrant University Blue patent leather rand for a shining summer vibe. Finished with a classic translucent sole, the iconic low-cut Air Jordan XI Low now returns for the first time ever. Since his game-winning shot that brought championship glory to North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball consciousness. He took to the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan I, simultaneously breaking league rules and his opponents' will while capturing the imagination of fans worldwide.
