At that time, Tinker Hatfield worked hard to create the Air Jordan XI, and incorporated carbon plates into the shoe design that could improve performance on the field. The use of patent leather brought an extraordinary texture to the shoes; the advanced and fashionable design, combined with the cutting-edge technology of the time, made it a classic that everyone praises to this day. When the shoe came out, it coincided with Michael Jordan's first comeback. He wore Air Jordan XI on the court, which attracted the attention of the league and made the shoes on his feet the focus. Now, the shoe is back with a unique twist to pay tribute to its 25th anniversary. This version adopts a black and white contrasting design, with a Jumpman logo and a 23 number badge on the heel, as well as the word "JORDAN" on the shoelace holes. The silver decoration symbolizes the glory of the shoe for 25 years.
