Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan 1 may have hogged the spotlight this year with its 40th birthday, but the Air Jordan 11 isn’t going quietly into 2025. As the year winds down, the iconic sneaker is lining up an anniversary party of its own—with nine colorways hitting shelves between October 2025 and spring 2026.
The Air Jordan 11 “30th Anniversary” Collection
This “30th Anniversary” collection is equal parts nostalgia and experimentation. Only one pair, the fan-favorite Gamma, is a retro. The rest are brand-new designs, several dropping as regional exclusives, which means not everyone will have the same cake at this party.
Air Jordan 11 “Rare Air”
Things kick off on October 1 with the Rare Air. It’s a continuation of Jordan Brand’s sample-inspired series, flipping expectations with a blue patent leather mudguard, red Jumpman logo at the heel, and “Jordan” spelled down the eyelets.
Kids’ Air Jordan 11 “Inner Beast”
Three days later, on October 4, kids get their own pair. The Inner Beast nods to MJ’s “Black Cat” nickname with scratch marks, a velvet camo mudguard, and glow-in-the-dark soles that are practically begging for playground bragging rights.
Women’s Air Jordan 11 “Pearl”
Fast forward to November, and the releases start stacking up. On November 11, the women’s-exclusive Pearl steps out with ribbon laces, sail leather, and a pearlescent finish. It even comes with a pearl keychain for good measure.
Air Jordan 11 “Mojave”
Then, on November 22, Jordan Brand will do something wild—drop three different colorways on the same day. The Mojave, drenched in purple suede, takes its cues from Las Vegas sunsets.
Air Jordan 11 “H-Town”
Houston gets some love with the H-Town, a brown suede sneaker with an icy outsole nodding to the city’s trunk culture.
Air Jordan 11 “285”
And Atlanta isn’t left out, with the 285 colorway named after its central highway, featuring white pebbled leather and a multicolor sockliner inspired by street art.
Air Jordan 11 “China”
December keeps the momentum going. On December 1, the China-exclusive release hits shelves with a bead-patterned upper, gum outsole, and a mix of canvas and suede.
Air Jordan 11 “Gamma”
Less than two weeks later, on December 13, the Gamma makes its long-awaited return. Originally released in 2013, this all-black edition with Gamma Blue and yellow accents is still one of the cleanest Jordan 11s ever produced.
Air Jordan 11 “Tokyo”
The final curtain call arrives in spring 2026 with the Tokyo. Echoing the beloved Cool Grey aesthetic, this Japan-exclusive pairs gradient leather with suede details for a look that feels both timeless and fresh.
9 Colorways for the Air Jordan 11 “30th Anniversary” Collection
For those keeping score at home, that’s nine colorways, spanning continents, markets, and stories. Each drop highlights how the Air Jordan 11 still matters 30 years later. From MJ’s game-changing 1995 return to sneakerheads lining up decades later, the shoe continues to defy rules, set trends, and prove that anniversaries are worth celebrating—especially when they look this good.
Where to get the Air Jordan 11 “30th Anniversary” Collection
Every release will roll out through SNKRS, Nike’s digital channels, Jordan Brand stores, and select retailers. Whether you’re after the playground glow of the Inner Beast, the sleek nostalgia of the Gamma, or the regional heat of the Mojave and Tokyo editions, there’s something in this lineup that will test your willpower—and your wallet.
