The Air Jordan 11 is heading back to the football field in 2026 with a new MCS cleat covered almost entirely in black. Jordan Brand keeps the shape and details that make the AJ11 easy to recognize, then rebuilds the bottom for players who need traction on the field.

Black patent leather runs around the mudguard and continues across much of the upper, giving the cleat a much darker look than a typical Air Jordan 11. Rope laces, the tongue, inner lining and midsole are also finished in black. Metallic Gold breaks things up through the Jumpman logos on the ankle and tongue, along with matching accents on the heel. The color combination has some similarities to the black-and-gold Air Jordan 6 from the 2006 “Defining Moments Pack,” rather than the white-based AJ11 that came with it.

A molded black MCS plate replaces the regular Air Jordan 11 outsole, with studs positioned around the forefoot and heel for use on the field. Additional texture runs across the bottom for grip, while Jordan branding sits through the middle of the plate.

The Air Jordan 11 MCS “Black/Metallic Gold” will release during Fall 2026 for $220.
