Jordan 11 Goes Retro With the Space Jam 2000 Colorway

The AJ 11 is arguably one of the most popular and beloved Air Jordan styles of all time. This hugely successful Tinker Hatfield-designed model represents Michael Jordan's return to the NBA in 1996 and was worn by MJ during the record-breaking 72-10 season when the Chicago Bulls won their fourth NBA title. It's also notable for being the first Air Jordan to feature Cordura nylon, a carbon fiber plate and foot-conforming patent leather.

The on-court debut of the Air Jordan XI Concord set off a frenzy of anticipation until the sneaker hit retailers later that year. Other colorways and silhouettes soon followed.

In 2000, Air Jordan 11 Retro releases kicked off—and the collection is still going strong with new iterations introduced almost every year. The Air Jordan 11 lineup—OG or Retro, mid or low, "Concord," "Bred" or "Space Jam"—is sought after by sneakerheads everywhere.

History of the Air Jordan XI

In 1995, Michael Jordan announced his departure from baseball and return to the NBA with two simple words: "I'm back." Reunited with the Chicago Bulls midseason, MJ stepped onto the court during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals wearing a distinct pair of new Air Jordan Xs. In contrast to his teammates' black shoes, Jordan's sneakers (prototypes emblazoned with 45 to match his new jersey number) were predominantly white. The shiny patent leather with a show-stopping Concord Purple overlay violated uniform rules, and he was fined $5,000. That created a cultural moment and set the stage for the launch of the Air Jordan 11 Concord, which landed in stores that November and featured MJ's reinstated number 23.

1996 saw the release of four more Air Jordan 11 variations:

In 2000, the Jordan Brand launched the Air Jordan 11 Retro series, starting with the Air Jordan 11 Retro Concord edition in honor of the style's first colorway. The Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam quickly followed.

Jordan 11 Retro styles have seen incredible success. In 2008, the tradition of an Air Jordan 11 Holiday release began and continues to this day.

  • The Blue/White Air Jordan 11 Columbia that Jordan wore during the 1996 All-Star Game.
  • The Black/Red ("Bred") Air Jordan 11 that MJ sported during the 1996 NBA Finals when the Chicago Bulls clinched their fourth championship.
  • The Grey/Cobalt and Black/Red colorways of the Air Jordan XI Low IE, a low-cut style that traded the signature patent leather mudguard for a lightweight, breathable mesh.
  • The Black Jordan 11s that MJ wore in the animated movie, Space Jam. One of the most famous colorways of 1996, it wasn't even available for sale.

Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam 2000

The Jordan brand decided to put a modern spin to the original 1995 Space Jam colorway in 2000 by debuting a Retro release of the popular sneaker. Worn by Michael Jordan in the movie, this colorway integrates a black nylon upper with a tall black patent leather mudguard that wraps from toe to heel. Black continues on the laces and tongue, following inside to the inner sock liner. A Varsity Royal Jordan brand Jumpman logo sits on the sneaker's lateral heel, and a white number 23 sits on the heel tab. A white midsole provides extra support and cushion, while a translucent sole offers traction and grip for the court. Varsity Royal accents are stamped into the tread's heel and toe.

    A DREAM SHOE

    These shoes are the best feeling shoe for a sneaker that I have ever owned. When compared to other mens dress shoes that pay particular attention to details regarding foot comfort, the Jordan 11 is in the same ballpark. In fact, I DID buy them to be worn occasionally for a dressed-up look, along with doubling as a casual sneaker. The patent leather puts me in the mind of spats from the 1920's and '30's.
