The Air Jordan 2011: Advanced performance, classic style

The Air Jordan 2011 Men's Basketball Shoe redefines versatility with a cutting-edge cushioning system that offers a customizable ride, plus premium leather for a snug fit and timeless style.

Benefits

All-new midsole system with two cushioning options for customized comfort

Premium Aniline leather for durability, support and a clean look

Dynamic inner sleeve to reduce irritation and provide a snug fit

Stability feature to help keep the foot from rolling during side-to-side movements

Solid rubber elephant-pattern outsole for grip on a variety of surfaces

Cushioning

The all-new midsole system of the Air Jordan 2011 features two cushioning options—Nike Zoom and Nike Air—to meet specific needs on the court. For quick and agile athletes, the Nike Zoom unit delivers a low-profile and responsive ride, best for long sprints down the floor. And for players who come down hard from rebounds and dunks, the encapsulated Nike Air lends lightweight cushioning and impact protection.

Fit

The low-cut silhouette of this men's basketball shoe allows complete flexibility through the ankle while delivering exceptional support. A snug, dynamic inner sleeve helps reduce irritation during play and provides a glove-like fit around the top of the foot. 

Design

A top performer as well as a style icon, this signature hoops shoe is crafted with full-grain Aniline leather, which is used primarily in dress shoes. The premium leather can flex and bend without leaving creases, so the Air Jordan 2011 maintains a clean look on the court.

Origins

Since his game-winning shot that brought the National Championship to North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball consciousness. He took the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan I, setting a new standard for performance and style, simultaneously breaking league rules and his opponents' will while capturing the imagination of fans worldwide. Ever-evolving, ever at the pinnacle of innovation, the Air Jordan line is the ultimate in basketball footwear.
