During the holiday season, sneaker enthusiasts eagerly await Jordan Brand’s exclusive Air Jordan 11 drops. Two highly anticipated releases showcase familiar color schemes, bringing back the beloved “Concord” and “Gratitude” (DMP) iterations.

In 2018, the Air Jordan 11 “Concord” returned with a special touch – the iconic “45” emblazoned on the black heel tab, a nod to Michael Jordan’s post-retirement NBA jersey number. Retaining its signature elements, the shoe boasts a white ballistic mesh upper, black patent leather overlays, and a crystal-clear outsole.

Originally hitting shelves in 2006, the “Defining Moments Pack” (DMP) bundled the AJ6 and AJ11 in a unique offering. Both shoes, paying tribute to MJ’s championship moments, sport OG color schemes with golden accents. Fast forward to 2023, and the Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” reprises the “Concord” palette. With a white tumbled leather upper, black patent leather rand, and Metallic Gold embellishments on the Jumpman logo and “23” stamp, this release exudes elegance. The shoe’s comfort is amplified by a Phylon midsole, Nike Air cushioning, a carbon fiber shank plate, and a transparent rubber outsole.
