This Air Jordan 11 features an all-purple color scheme, highlighted by luxurious velvet mudguards and a suede upper and tongue. The opaque purple outsole enhances the regal aesthetic, while a white midsole and matching tongue lettering create subtle contrast. Metallic silver Jumpman logos add an extra touch of elegance.

A truly special detail of this sneaker lies inside—custom insoles featuring “Jumpman” in Prince’s signature font, complemented by falling rain graphics as a nod to his iconic song, Purple Rain.

With only one pair in existence, this sneaker is an ultimate collector’s grail, commanding an eye-watering price. For sneakerheads and music fans alike, this rare gem embodies a legendary fusion of basketball, music, and culture.
