Air Jordan 11 "Gratitude"
The Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” is the modern re-release of the colorway of Michael Jordan’s eleventh signature shoe that originally released as part of the “Defining Moments Pack” from 2006. Also nicknamed the “DMP 2023” colorway, this Jordan 11 is based on the retro basketball sneaker’s original “Concord” colorway that was worn by Jordan with the Chicago Bulls throughout the team’s historic run during the 1995-96 NBA season. The upper features a white leather construction, instead of the original DMP colorway's ballistic mesh build. A glossy black patent leather mudguard contrasts the shoe’s neutral base. Metallic Gold Jumpman branding is found on the collar while “Jumpman” detailing appears across the white mesh tongue. Underfoot, the white foam midsole and translucent rubber outsole complete the look.
Signature Patent Leather Rand: Features a high-gloss patent leather mudguard that wraps around the entire shoe, providing both a "tuxedo-ready" look and structural support to prevent the foot from rolling.
Ballistic Mesh Upper: Most iterations utilize a durable, lightweight Cordura nylon or ballistic mesh that offers breathability and a flexible fit.
Webbed Lacing System: A unique "speed-lacing" setup using nylon webbing loops that provides a secure, lockdown fit across the midfoot.
Full-Length Air-Sole Unit: Equipped with an encapsulated, full-length Air-Sole unit for consistent, responsive cushioning from heel to toe.
Phylon Midsole: A full-length Phylon foam carrier houses the Air unit, providing a stable and comfortable ride.
Translucent Outsole: A clear (or "icy") rubber outsole offers a premium look and high-traction grip on various surfaces.
