Update, November 12: It’s out now on SNKRS in the US, the UK and Spain.
The Air Jordan 11 has joined Space Jam’s 30th anniversary. Nike’s SNKRS app now sells the women’s Air Jordan 11 Retro “Magic Ball”. It dropped Wednesday, November 11, in the US at $235. The UK and Spain followed Thursday, November 12.
Why an 11
The 11 is the collection’s centrepiece. Terrance Harvey of Jordan Brand’s product team puts it this way in Nike’s Space Jam 30th announcement:
“The Air Jordan 11 gave us the perfect canvas to honor a story people have loved for 30 years …”
Nike names three 11s in it: the Retro OG, the “Green Screen” and this “Magic Ball”.
This was the first of them to come out. Its name links it to the Air Jordan 1 Low SE “Magic Ball”, which opened the collection on November 5 with the same colour-shift idea.
A colour-shifting 11
Nike’s photos show an upper that shifts from olive gold to copper and red with the angle. Nike calls the colourway Light British Tan/Metallic Silver/Off Noir and describes the upper as smooth synthetic leather. The collar lining, laces and midsole are black. The Jumpman on the ankle is a metallic copper, and the outsole is a translucent icy blue.
Underneath it’s the familiar 11: full-length Nike Air and a midfoot shank, per Nike’s listing. It’s sized for women only.
Where it sits in the Space Jam 30th
The collection started on November 5 with the AJ1 Low SE “Magic Ball”, two AJ1 Mids and a Spizike Low. SNKRS also listed a Jordan 11 Retro MCS “Space Jam” baseball cleat for that day. The biggest pair comes last: the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”, which our leak post has for December 12.
Can you still get a pair?
It’s on Nike’s SNKRS launch page and Nike’s regular product page in the US now. It’s on SNKRS UK and SNKRS Spain today. Nike’s own stock data shows some sizes already gone in the US, with more still showing in the UK and Spain. Check each listing directly rather than assume a size is out. It’s an 11 on SNKRS, in women’s sizes only, which keeps the pool of pairs smaller. We’d scored it 49 on our hype bar going in, an estimate since there was no resale data yet.
