The OVO x Air Jordan 11 “Pink Snakeskin” Sample is one of those ultra-rare pairs that perfectly blends luxury and basketball heritage. First seen on Drake during a Toronto Raptors game in 2017, the exclusive sample instantly became one of the most talked-about unreleased collaborations between the rapper and Jordan Brand.
This high-top edition features a clean white mesh upper paired with bold pink snakeskin leather wrapping the mudguard. It mirrors the design of the “Snakeskin” Air Jordan 11 Lows that eventually released in 2019 but adds an elevated twist with Drake’s signature OVO touch. On the heel, a “45” embroidery nods to Michael Jordan’s comeback season in 1995—subtle, but symbolic.
While pairs have surfaced through collectors and appearances by players like PJ Tucker, these remain strictly sample-only. There are no plans for a retail drop, which makes them even more mythical among sneaker fans.
The OVO x Air Jordan 11 “Pink Snakeskin” stands as one of the most striking unreleased Air Jordans of the past decade—a perfect storm of celebrity exclusivity, craftsmanship, and heritage storytelling.
