Space Jam Jordans – Air Jordan 11 Retro Release Date 2009
Tomorrow, December 23, Nike will release their newest sneaker in the “Air Jordan” series: Air Jordan 11 (Air Jordan XI) Retro. They are known as “Space Jam” Jordans because he wore a similarly styled shoe in the movie Space Jam. Nike had originally planned for a Christmas Eve release, but announced in a 12/7 press release that they were able to move it up a day.
I particularly love the line “a special gift from Jordan to sneaker fans everywhere,” in reference to the forthcoming $175 sneaker. How much would you guess this shoe costs to manufacture and ship?
There doesn’t appear to be any actual reference to the movie or any Looney Tunes characters. I’m not clear on whether “Space Jam” is an official name for the shoe or if it’s an invention of the press. Nike’s press releases make no mention of the term.
