Sneakers Release – Jordan 11 Retro “Animal Instinct” Black/Gym Red/Sail Women’s & Kids’ Shoe Dropping 11/26

Nov 19, 2021

The Jordan 11 Retro “Animal Instinct” Black/Gym Red/Sail will drop in women’s, preschool & toddler sizes November 26 at Hibbett | City Gear.

Black Friday is the time when the fiercest hunters prowl the aisles looking for the best deals. Jordan Brand is channeling this vibe by dropping an animal-print twist on one of its most popular basketball styles.

The new Air Jordan Retro 11 “Animal Instinct” women’s shoe will help you release your inner leopard with a faux animal print upper.

This shoe isn’t playing around. You’ll quickly notice that the animal print design isn’t just printed on the shoe—it’s made of faux fur to make you look like the huntress you are on the inside. A hybrid trifecta of black and white leopard, cheetah and tiger markings cover the mudguard. Above that, the black suede upper looks clean and dark—just like the shadows big cats lurk through right before they pounce.

A solid white midsole keeps things grounded, while a translucent gray outsole with traction patterns gives you just enough footing to hold your ground against any opponent.

Other than these fun new touches, this shoe is pretty similar to previous iterations. You’ll see a tongue strap bearing a red Jumpman logo in the middle of the laces, as well as a similar red Jumpman on the insole. At the heel, a red “23” stands out on the black surface, while a metallic Jumpman emblem soars toward the ankle.

If you’re thinking this shoe looks a little familiar, that’s because it is. It bears a striking similarity to the AJ 3 Retro released a few years back. That colorway has been a bit of an inspiration for this current shoe.

Since you’re getting animal print shoes, why not take your love of furry cats all the way? Pair them with other animal print threads, like cheetah joggers or a furry cropped jacket. You’ll look sweet and fierce all at once.

The Jordan Retro 11 “Animal Instinct” colorway will be available in women’s, preschool and toddler sizes starting November 26 online or at your local Hibbetty | City Gear.
