As the most popular basketball shoes brand, Air Jordan has a special significance either in collection or history. Air Jordan I and Air Jordan v and Air Jordan VIhave ushered in a revolution in sneaker design. But it is only Air Jordan XI that is a perfect combination of design and historical significance.
First making its debut in 1995, Air Jordan XI was imposed a special historical significance. It is when Michael Jordan came back to NBA and played all games in 1995-1996 seasons. Before that, many fans and Air Jordan lovers thought that Air Jordan would suffer a decline in its sales as a result of the retirement of Michael Jordan. This guess has turned out to be true。
The sales of Air Jordan VII, Air Jordan VIII and Air Jordan IX were a far cry from Air Jordan VI. And consequently, Air Jordan X has been publicly the most unpopular one among all Air Jordan. It is for the returning of Michael Jordan and reversed the declining sales of Air Jordan; Air JordanXI came into being.
In my opinion, Air Jordan XI represented Michael Jordan’s soul, fighting will and spirit best. It is amazing but can be easily ignored and underestimated. Some people think it is too arrogant in and of itself like Michael Jordan. I should say these guys are too biased too find Air Jordan XI amazing characteristics- the communication between man and shoes……
In the sneakers field, it is very common that a pair of sneakers become a classic after they came out in one film. Meanwhile, this film attracted more and more attention because of the shoes. But it was in truth a miracle that the movie “Space Jam” and the AIR JORDAN XI SPACE JAM black / white / blue that Jordan rocked in the film got such a great win-win harvest.
The Space Jam shown on 1996 was of course a classic, while it was only a film for kids. The happy impression about this movie may just be some good memories in the childhood. But till now, we can still fell the excitement when the AJ11 SPACE JAM comes back.
After 9 years, this magnificent retro AJ11 SPACE JAM returned. For those Air Jordan 11 fans, this model was no less than the gift of God to realize their space dream. More than the companies’ commercial objects, the fans preferred how this retro AJ XI surpassed the 2000 space jam version and create a new space myth.
NIKE only put a few AJ space jam samples for sale when the “Space Jam” movie released, so when the AJ11 SPACE JAM retro dropped the first time in 2000, they were sold out immediately though it was in such high price $175. As we all know, the precious clear outsole is very easily to be yellow, and the 2000 version are all come to be yellow rather than clear like crystal. The new Air Jordan XI Space Jam Retro released on Dec 2009 caused fans an indescribable thrill, even at the sight made them tremble.

I already know what you’re thinking. These Air Jordan XI (11) Samples look just like the retro releases from 2001. That’s where you’re wrong. The colorway may be exactly the same, but there’s one huge difference…on these samples, there’s a translucent Jordan logo on the tongue. The retros have a plain tongue, and the samples look so much better because of the logo. Any collector would be happy to have these, especially in this pristine condition (peep the icy soles).
On opening night of the NBA season, Ray Allen suited up against the Cleveland Cavalier wearing a Player Exclusive Air Jordan XI (11) similar to the one seen here. Both feature a white and gold design to match the Boston Celtics jersey, but for the PE Allen wore the other night against the San Antonio Spurs, it is composed of less green than the opening night model and sports an icy sole. From the looks of it, there is no green on the Air Jordan XI and only consists of a white base with gold trim. For a closer look at Ray Allen’s Player Exclusive Air Jordan XI, check the jump.
