Another pair in Jordan Brand’s Space Jam anniversary run is the Air Jordan 11 “Green Screen”, dated on Nike’s SNKRS listing for Saturday, November 14. Men’s sizes are $255, and a big kids’ version is $200 at the same time. The UK and Spain get it the same morning, seven hours before the US.

Why green screen

Nike says the colorway takes its cue from the green screens that let Space Jam bring the real world into a cartoon one. The film was shot almost entirely that way. With no Looney Tunes on set, the studio hired comic actors dressed head to toe in green to stand in for them, often moving around on their knees.

The shoe was already part of the film. The 11 is a Tinker Hatfield design, first released in 1995. Nike’s own history of it says it was one of the most wanted sneakers going even before its big-screen debut in Space Jam. This pair puts the shoe from the film in the colour of the stage it was filmed on.

The date fits too. Space Jam opened in US cinemas on November 15, 1996, so this pair lands the day before the film turns 30. Nike’s listing says the release celebrates 30 years since MJ met Bugs Bunny.

Green suede, no patent

Nike lists the colorway as Multi-Color/Lucky Green/Orange Peel/Gym Green. The upper is green suede, and the 11’s usual patent leather mudguard is swapped for tonal suede. So the whole shoe reads as one shade, laces included. Underneath, Nike’s photos show a pale, translucent green outsole with orange traction pods and a Jumpman in the middle.

Nike also mentions special box art, and its top-down photo shows a printed graphic on the insoles. Nike hasn’t described either in detail yet.

How to get a pair

In the US it’s on SNKRS on Saturday, November 14, in men’s sizes 7 to 18 and big kids’ 3.5Y to 7Y. Nike’s launch data currently lists it as a first-come order rather than a draw. Some release calendars still show November 16; Nike’s listing says the 14th.

The UK and Spain get it the same day, in men’s sizes, on SNKRS UK and SNKRS Spain. Nike had first shown November 5 there, in its earlier product data.

The rest of Space Jam’s 30th

It’s one of several 11s in the anniversary run. The Jordan 11 MCS “Space Jam” baseball cleat comes out on November 5, and the women’s Air Jordan 11 “Magic Ball” on November 11. The Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” follows, and our leak post has it for December 12. The Air Jordan 1 Low SE “Magic Ball” opens the collection on November 5, alongside the cleat. Everything else dated is on our Jordan page.

At $255 it costs $20 more than the women’s 11 “Magic Ball”. Nike’s data has it as a first-come order, not a draw, though that can change before the day. In the UK and Spain, it’s out before most US buyers are awake.
