Mar 16, 2025

The Air Jordan 11 is one of the most beloved sneakers in the Jordan Brand lineup. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and introduced in 1995, it was the first basketball shoe to feature patent leather, giving it a luxury-meets-performance look that revolutionized the sneaker industry. The model also played a major role in Michael Jordan’s second three-peat with the Bulls, further cementing its legendary status. For this list, we’re only including pairs that were officially released to the public—so don’t lose your mind over your favorite player exclusives or samples not making the cut!

Here are the Top 5 Best Air Jordan 11s of All-Time, ranked based on cultural significance, design, and sneakerhead demand.

1. Air Jordan 11 ‘Concord’

Release Date: 1995 (Retro versions in 2000, 2011, 2018)
Why It’s Iconic: The ‘Concord’ AJ11 is the sneaker that changed everything. Worn by Michael Jordan during his return to the NBA and the Bulls’ historic 72-10 season, it introduced patent leather to basketball shoes. The crisp white upper, black patent leather mudguard, and icy translucent outsole make this one of the greatest sneakers of all time.

2. Air Jordan 11 ‘Bred’

Release Date: 1996 (Retro versions in 2001, 2008, 2012, 2019)
Why It’s Iconic: The ‘Bred’ AJ11 was the shoe MJ wore while winning his fourth NBA Championship in 1996. With its black upper, patent leather detailing, and bold red outsole, this sneaker became an instant classic and is still one of the most sought-after Jordan 11 colorways.

3. Air Jordan 11 ‘Space Jam’

Release Date: 2000 (Retro versions in 2009, 2016)
Why It’s Iconic: The ‘Space Jam’ AJ11 became famous when Michael Jordan wore it in the 1996 movie Space Jam. The sleek black patent leather upper, translucent outsole, and subtle blue accents give this sneaker an undeniably cool look. The 2016 retro, which stayed true to MJ’s original #45 branding, made it even more legendary.

4. Air Jordan 11 ‘Cool Grey’

Release Date: 2001 (Retro versions in 2010, 2021)
Why It’s Iconic: The ‘Cool Grey’ AJ11 proved that non-OG colorways could be just as legendary. Featuring a grey nubuck upper, patent leather detailing, and an icy blue outsole, this sneaker offers a more refined and lifestyle-friendly take on the AJ11. It remains one of the most popular retro releases.

5. Air Jordan 11 ‘Columbia’ / ‘Legend Blue’

Release Date: 1996 (Retro versions in 2001, 2014)
Why It’s Iconic: Originally called the ‘Columbia’ AJ11, this clean all-white sneaker was worn by MJ during the 1996 NBA All-Star Game. When it retroed in 2014 as the ‘Legend Blue’ AJ11, it became one of the best-selling Jordan releases ever. The icy outsole and soft blue branding make this one of the freshest Jordan 11s of all time.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Air Jordan 11 ‘Gamma Blue’

A bold blacked-out AJ11 with blue accents, released in 2013.

Air Jordan 11 ‘Pantone’ / ‘Gift of Flight’

Originally a promo sample, this UNC-inspired blue suede edition got a public release in 2014.

Air Jordan 11 ‘Cherry’

A striking red and white take on the AJ11, released in 2022.

Air Jordan 11 ‘Cap and Gown’

A triple-black, luxury-inspired AJ11 designed as the perfect graduation sneaker.

The Air Jordan 11 remains one of the most iconic, luxurious, and culturally significant sneakers ever made. Whether it’s an OG classic like the ‘Concord’ or a newer favorite like the ‘Cool Grey’, these five picks represent the best of the best.

This special-edition Air Jordan 5 features a suede Ice Blue upper with bold University Red accents on the sock liner and shark teeth detailing. A sail-colored midsole and metallic gold lace lock add a vintage touch. Subtle elements elevate the storytelling, including metallic gold embroidery on the lateral heels. The numbers “23” and “5” honor Michael Jordan’s jersey number and Marcus Jordan’s playing number.

A translucent rubber outsole with a wood-grain pattern pays tribute to MJ’s trophy room flooring. The left heel features a black Jumpman logo, while the right heel showcases a Trophy Room emblem, reinforcing the sneaker’s exclusivity.

Retailing at $200 USD, the Trophy Room x Air Jordan 5 “Ice Blue” dropped exclusively through Trophy Room’s online store and select Jordan Brand retailers. Due to its limited nature, it sold out instantly, becoming a grail for collectors.

Sotheby’s Auctions Kobe Bryant’s 30K-Point Nike Kobe 7

Mar 15, 2025

On December 5, 2012, Kobe Bryant made history by becoming the youngest player to reach 30,000 career points. At just 34 years and 104 days old, he surpassed Wilt Chamberlain’s record, cementing his place among NBA legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, and Michael Jordan—as one of only five players to reach this milestone.

Since then, Dirk Nowitzki, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant have also reached 30,000 points. Bryant remains the second-youngest to achieve this milestone, with only LeBron James ahead of him.

The milestone came in a game against the New Orleans Hornets, the very team that drafted Bryant in 1996 before trading him to the Lakers. Needing only 13 points to reach the mark, he achieved it late in the second quarter with a smooth right-handed floater in the lane. The Lakers secured a dominant 103-87 victory, with Bryant finishing the night with 29 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals.

Now, the game-worn and signed Nike Kobe 7 PE sneakers from that legendary night are up for auction at Sotheby’s.

Inscribed with “30K 12-5-12” and Kobe’s signature, the sneakers are expected to fetch between $200,000 and $300,000. The auction lot also includes a PSA 9 MINT-graded game ticket, a program, and a DVD of the historic game.

Basketball fans and collectors can view the Nike Kobe 7 30K-Point Game PE at Sotheby’s New York on March 21, 2025 before the bidding concludes on March 25th. This auction offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of NBA history tied to one of the game’s greatest icons.

Nigel Sylvester is once again redefining BMX culture and sneaker collaborations with the Air Jordan 4 “Brick by Brick.” This release offers a fresh perspective on the iconic Air Jordan 4 Retro, following the success of his 2024 RM colorways.

The sneaker draws inspiration from New York City’s red bricks, representing where Nigel’s BMX journey began. Featuring a bold orange-red color, the “Brick by Brick” theme symbolizes NYC’s architectural character and Nigel’s relentless perseverance. Every detail showcases his commitment to building his career with determination and precision.

Key design highlights include “Bike Air” branding on the heels, a creative twist on the traditional “Nike Air” logo. Reflective 3M accents enhance visibility for nighttime rides, while a mini embroidered Swoosh on the toe cap adds a distinctive touch to this special edition sneaker.

The phrase “Brick by Brick” captures Nigel’s philosophy of steady progress and hard work. As a groundbreaking Black BMX athlete, he has redefined the boundaries of street culture and elevated collaborations between athletes and brands. His influence resonates deeply within both the BMX and sneaker communities.
