For a special release at the beginning of the American “Holiday Season”, the countless fans were thought of directly all over the world. With the Air Jordan 11 "Gratity" (English for gratitude) the Jordan Brand would like to thank every single loyal collector! The version of the sneaker is a huge thank you for each of the loyal fans who made Michael Jordan and the sneakers an icon.
I think that's really cool, so often the huge brands forget that they are much more than just a profit -oriented organization: Nike does not only sell sporting goods, for me they sell "Just Do IT", that is, motivation and profit.
Construction of the sneaker
The color palette is a tribute to the DMP ("Defishing Moments") Pack, which was released in 2006. In the pack, two sneakers, the Air Jordan 11 and Air Jordan 6 brought out.
At theAir Jordan 11 "Gratitutes" we have a chic, white upper with shoe notes of the same color. The patent leather in black fits like the fist on the eye and I am a big fan of the material, especially when it comes to Air Jordan 11. Golden accents like the metal jumpman on the side of the sneaker and on the heel with a logoAir Jordan 11 "Gratity" the necessary exclusivity. In addition, there is a white rubber sole with a slightly artificially yellowed, lower sole - the vintage vibe is not missing either. In the middle of the sole we can see a carbon -like pattern, a nice addition!
When does the Air Jordan 11 "Gratity"?
The time has come on December 9, 2023 and we can buy the sneaker from almost all large retailers and in the SNRKS app. The retail price is € 210, quite normal for the 11 Series.
I hope for a special box because the release should be special!
