Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” Size & Release Details: Exclusive Updates

Let’s journey back to ’95 for a moment, when Michael Jordan, fresh off his NBA hiatus, dazzled us with the iconic Air Jordan 11 “Concord”. Fast forward, after countless holiday releases and pure basketball magic, Team Jumpman is shaking things up.

This holiday season, they’re reintroducing the classic with a fresh twist; we present you the Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” size & release details: exclusive updates, your ultimate guide to copping the pair!

MJ’s Comeback and the Birth of an Iconic Sneaker

Wondering what went around and how 1995 became so iconic in sneaker history? Back in the year, MJ had made a killer comeback to the Bulls and gave a sneak peek of the Air Jordan 11 “Concord” from Tinker Hatfield. Even though they weren’t game-ready, His Airness couldn’t resist and flexed them on-court against the Magic!

But, here’s where the drama unfolded: the league wasn’t vibing with that “White/Black/Dark Concord” mix after just two showdowns; still, the world got its encore during the 95-96 season, with MJ hustling for his fourth ring. Since then, team Jumpman’s been dropping patent leather fire every holiday.

DMP Legacy Continues with ‘Gratitude But With A Twist!

Back in 2006, Jordan Brand launched a special pack called the “Defining Moments Pack”, which celebrated Michael Jordan’s legendary wins using two sneakers: the AJ6 (for his ’91 win) and the AJ11 (for ’96).

This pack had a unique black & gold design, special packaging, and even golden dog tags, and because of all the hype, it changed the sneaker culture – we mean, long lines at stores and high resale prices!

Fast forward to 2020: the brand re-released the AJ6 “DMP” from this pack, and it was so true to the original that fans wondered, “When’s the AJ11 coming back?”

So, here’s the news for Holiday 2023: the Air Jordan 11 “DMP” gets a makeover and will be called the “Gratitude”. What’s different? Instead of the old-school mesh, this one has a sleek leather upper.

Stylish Revamp of a Classic

This pair features classic leather and shiny patent leather in a fresh combo of black, white, and gold, with the colourway giving a nod to the iconic “Defining Moments Pack”.

Look out for those gold Jumpman logos and throat banners, adding that extra touch of bling while the mudguards keep that sleek patent leather vibe.

Size And Comfort Game

First things first, the Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” doesn’t play games with sizing – it’s true to size, so you can rock your regular size with confidence. Wide-foot gang, you’re in luck because there’s some room to breathe in that toe box. But, here’s a thing- if you’ve got flat arches, it might not be your most comfy ride.

Now, let’s talk materials. The “Gratitude” 11s are packed leather, not the usual ballistic nylon. That means they can stretch a bit, giving you a more personalized fit, so whether you’re rocking 1C or Men’s 18, they’ve got you covered this holiday season!

Release Details

Mark your calendars on 9th December because the Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” is hitting stores and online via Nike SNKRS. It’s a release for the whole family, from the little ones to the grown-ups!

Now, about the stock – it’s a bit of a mystery this time, but here’s an insight: Jordan 11s usually sell out super fast, so be quick if you want a pair. And if you miss out, you can always find them on resale platforms, but the price might go up depending on how hot the sneaker game gets!
