The Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” is coming back for Holiday 2026, and the latest photos show Jordan Brand sticking pretty close to the version people already know. Black mesh and patent leather make up the upper, with a white midsole, icy outsole and blue Jumpman branding finishing things off.

The usual details are still there too, including the “23” on the heels and “JUMPMAN JAM” across the tongue. From what we can see so far, the shape and patent leather cut look a lot like the 2016 pair, which was made to better match Michael Jordan’s original PE. We still haven’t seen the packaging.

The “Space Jam” 11 has a long history behind it. Jordan wore the black-and-blue pair during the 1995 NBA Playoffs, and a year later the shoe showed up in Space Jam with Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes. That’s where the nickname came from, but the shoe became much bigger than the movie over time.

The first retail release came in 2000, then the colorway returned again in 2009. That release was a huge one, with packed malls, long lines and overnight campouts in a lot of cities. It was one of those launches that showed where sneaker releases were headed in the years that followed.

Jordan Brand brought the shoe back again in 2016, this time with a taller patent leather cut, a reshaped upper and other changes pulled from Jordan’s original game-worn pair. The release was massive, and Nike later called it the company’s biggest footwear launch at the time.

Holiday 2026 won’t be just about the original “Space Jam” pair either. A separate “Green Screen,” also being called the “Monstars,” is expected to release as well, giving Jordan Brand another way to revisit the movie theme.
