The most sacred shoes - Jordan 11


The Jordan 11 was launched in November 1995 and was Jordan's boot for the 95-96 season. The Jordan 11 is not only the flagship of the Jordan series, it has had a profound impact on the entire Nike basketball shoes after that.

The story of Jordan 11:

At the beginning of the second three-peat, Jordan's favorite pair of shoes was put on in advance in the 1995 playoffs.


Jordan 11 configuration.

No need to repeat the classics, the configuration is the full palm sole, which is different from the AJ7 and AJ10, the air cushion has been extended to the forefoot. ) From a design point of view, the Jordan 11 breakthrough uses patent leather as the upper material, making it a symbol of high-end basketball shoes. At the same time, the full-length built-in air cushion technology is used, and the full-length carbon-plastic fiber support plate is used in the midsole, so that the entire pair of shoes achieves the ultimate in shock absorption. . It is worth noting that the built-in air cushion technology may be too soft for interior players, but it is comfortable enough for guards and small forwards. The comfortable foot feel and the quick-response field feel are not inferior to any pair of sneakers that use full-length air cushion technology. The outsole of the shoe is made of crystal rubber. This seemingly transparent material is compressed with artificial rubber. It should be noted that this material is likely to oxidize and turn yellow due to long-term excessive light. But when the surface is clean, it has a strong grip. In addition, there is a vague JUMPMAN word on the sole part. The quick lacing system makes it very easy to put on and take off the Jordan 11, but because of the mesh fiber on the shoe body, the weight of the whole pair of shoes is greatly reduced, and it is the lightest one in the Jordan series. The only downside is that it is very likely that the entire pair of shoes will lose functionality due to long-term wear.


 In a word, the newly designed Jordan 11 is a "guard basketball shoe" that has never appeared in the Jordan series of basketball shoes. Its development history for the Jordan series and even the entire basketball shoes is not just a classic. Maybe we can think of this as a watershed moment between old and new basketball shoes. If Air Force I and Jordan 1 are the ancestors of basketball shoes, then Jordan 11 is the most important milestone in the history of basketball shoes. In the 1995-96 season, Jordan played a full season for the first time after his comeback. The Bulls won an NBA record 72 victories in the regular season. Jordan won the scoring title for the eighth time and was re-elected as the All-Star Game MVP. Under the leadership of Jordan, the Bulls returned to the finals and defeated the Western SuperSonics with a total score of 4-2, winning the NBA championship for the fourth time. Jordan was also re-elected to the finals MVP, swept the season. Three MVP titles.
