Air Jordan "Space Jam" 11, which is up for release in December, is expected to be one of the best Jordon releases by far. The sneaker is also said to closely resemble the one Michael Jordon wore during the NBA Playoffs in 1995.

The most anticipated Air Jordan "Space Jam" 11 is also said to feature the original "Nike Air" branded insoles. The shoe will feature the iconic silhouette of the classic Concord Jumpman and number "45" inscribed on the back of the heel instead of number "23." As a matter of fact, "45" is stitched on the heel of the sneaker for the first time in Jordon releases ever. The sneaker also has the black leather patch around the shoe resembling the original Jordon classic which is paired with an elegant white midsole making it much classier.

"Noted as a remastered OG versatile of the pair that MJ first wore during the 1995 NBA Playoffs, the iconic silhouette will also incorporate the classic Concord Jumpman and the number "45" stitched on the back heel instead of "23." Utilizing mesh and a higher cut patent leather overlay across its upper to mimic the original pair, the blacked-out component is nicely offset by a crisp white midsole unit and translucent outsole," reported Kicks On Fire.

The Air Jordan "Space Jam" 11 release date is reported to be on Saturday, 17 Dec 2016 and is said to be out with a price tag of $220. Meanwhile, some of the reports online also predict December 23 release date. Overall, the December release appears sensible as the manufacturers could be eyeing for huge opening during the Christmas eve for the most awaited pair of shoes.

"In honor of the 20th anniversary of the film "Space Jam," the iconic black and blue Air Jordan 11s will be making a return to retailers for the first time since 2009. However, unlike the previous 11s before it, the 2016 "Space Jam" colorway will feature the rare #45 on the heel in place of the familiar #23. Other than that, it appears the iconic sneaker will remain true to form, according to Hnhh.
