Why Choose the Air Jordan 11 Shoes?
Air Jordan 11 Shoes return mostly as lifestyle pairs for everyday wear, led by the low-cut Retro Low, in men's, women's and kids' sizes. The exception is the Jordan 11 Retro MCS, a baseball cleat built on the same design. For the other returning models, see Jordan Retro.
- Everyday outfits: The Retro Low brings the AJ11 down to a low-cut collar line, a lifestyle pair for daily wear.
- Family matching: The "White and University Blue" pair comes in men's, grade school, preschool and toddler sizes, so adults and kids can share one look.
- Baseball: The Jordan 11 Retro MCS reworks the AJ11 for the ballpark with cleats that carry the model's design onto the field.
How to Pick the Right Pair of Air Jordan 11s
To shop one audience at a time, compare women's Air Jordan 11 or grade school Air Jordan 11 styles.
- Size group: Kids' pairs come in toddler (US 1-10), preschool (US 10.5-3) and grade school (US 3.5-7) sizes, so measure the child's foot and size by that length instead of by age.
- Cushioning: The men's, grade school and women's Retro Low pairs list a full-length Air-Sole unit for lightweight cushioning, while the toddler version lists a foam midsole.
- Adult pairs: The men's "White and University Blue" keeps the classic mudguard look, while the women's "Mother's Day" sets breezy textiles under premium leather overlays.

Full-Length Air-Sole Unit in the AJ11 Retro Low
The men's "White and University Blue," the grade school pair and the women's "Mother's Day" each rest on a full-length Air-Sole unit, which Nike says delivers lightweight cushioning. The toddler version lists a foam midsole instead.
Contoured Mudguard on Air Jordan 11 Retro Lows
On the Retro Low, Nike describes a contoured mudguard that runs all the way around the shoe, which adds durability and a sleek look. The women's "Mother's Day" pair sets breezy textiles under premium leather overlays, while the toddler pair uses genuine and synthetic leather in the upper.
Icy Rubber Outsole on the Air Jordan 11 Retro Low
The Retro Low sits on the model's icy outsole, a translucent rubber layer that Nike says provides durable traction. The kids' versions list the same icy rubber outsole for traction.

What Makes Air Jordan 11 Sneakers Unique?
Tinker Hatfield designed the Air Jordan 11 in 1995, and the original is best known for a patent leather mudguard that gave the shoe a formal look. Nike's own history of the model describes its sleek aerodynamics and patent-leather shine. The 1995 original also used a ballistic mesh upper and a carbon fiber spring plate inside a translucent outsole, details of that first pair rather than a description of every current one. Michael Jordan debuted the shoe during the 1995 NBA Playoffs and wore it on the way to the 1995-96 championship.
