The “Midas” Air Jordan 11 Looks Like a Sneaker Fit for a King

The "Midas" Air Jordan 11 dazzles in a striking combination of black and metallic gold, taking cues from the fabled story of King Midas.

Imagine adding a touch of gold to your favourite Air Jordan 11. Well, the “Midas” Air Jordan 11 conceptualises just that. Although it’s not entirely drenched in gold as King Midas might have fancied, this striking design achieves the perfect balance, allowing these kicks to stand out without going overboard on the flashiness. 

A Closer Look at the Sneaker

This stunning sneaker draws inspiration from the Jordan 11 Retro “Cap and Gown”, a highly cherished AJ11 colourway from 2018. Consequently, the design showcases a primarily black colour scheme, with the dark shade extending across everything from the velvet upper to the patent leather mudguard and even the sole unit.

Now, if you’re curious about the story behind the shoes “Midas” name, it harks back to the legendary king from Greek mythology, famous for his unique ability to turn everything he touched into gold. Here, the “Midas” touch is evident in the metallic gold accents that adorn the laces, heel, lace dubraes, and hang tag. These golden details add an opulent, eye-catching element to the overall design. 

This combination of black and gold results in a sleek, sophisticated look that any sneaker enthusiast would be thrilled to add to their expanding collection of AJ11s. We definitely would be more than OK with adding these gems to our own lineup. 

Is the “Midas” Air Jordan 11 Available for Purchase?

Regrettably, this sleek black and gold design is still a concept. But if you’re eager to see the AJ11 get its Midas touch, consider securing the Jordan 11 Retro ‘Cap and Gown’. While this elegant colourway tends to command higher prices on resale platforms, customizing them could help you achieve this desired Midas look.

BUT, if it’s just gold or black sneakers that you truly desire, why not explore these official designs from Nike and Jordan lineups? You can easily find these pairs on resale platforms. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to follow us here at Sneaker Fortress for more customs and concepts.
