Black patent leather wrapping ballistic nylon uppers, white midsoles paired with an icy translucent outsole — this combo actually appeared on the movie screen before it ever hit retail shelves. When Michael Jordan wore this pair while filming Space Jam, the Air Jordan 11 hadn't even officially released yet, giving the "Space Jam" colorway a backstory unlike any other Jordan silhouette from the very start.
Jordan Brand has confirmed the Air Jordan 11 "Space Jam" will return on December 12, 2026 under style code CT8012-900, timed precisely with the film's 30th anniversary. Full official images haven't dropped yet, but based on available clues, this release should stay true to the original colorway: black patent leather uppers paired with ballistic nylon mesh, white midsoles and icy outsoles staying unchanged, while the Jumpman is expected to come in "Varsity Royal" blue, setting it apart from the "Concord" and "Bred" pairs releasing around the same time.
