Michael's intuitive insight of bringing a "formal look" to the court, served as the inspiration for this remarkable rendition. Like the man, the Air Jordan XI is sophisticated and without equal.
Triple Come Back

If Jordan was back, so was Tinker Hatfield. A terrific design with a new patent leather and the return of the clear rubber sole made the Jordan 11 the most appreciated Air Jordan model ever released.

But when the design stunned everyone, the durability and quality was disappointing. Again the clear rubber soles easily yellowed and the patent leather also tended to crack up and/or easily get scratched. Top design - lacking quality.

With the Jordan 11 we also saw the return of low-tops. Something that would follow the Air Jordan’s all the way to the Jordan 21s (though skipping the OG Jordan 12’s).

Back to the banning daysMichael was fined $5,000 per game during the semifinals in 1995 for wearing the white/black-dk concord ones. He wore them twice and this was looked upon as uniform violation as the rest of the Bulls wore entirely black shoes. (This kind of brings back memories from when the Air Jordan 1’s were banned from the NBA.)Being fined two games was enough though and the next game he wore Anfernee Hardaway’s shoes.But did Nike enjoy MJ not wearing Air Jordans? Probably not as he got the “SpaceJams” for the remaining games. The same shoes that could also be seen in the movie Space Jam.
