The “Space Jam” Air Jordan XI is officially coming back — and Jordan Brand is bringing one of the most iconic sneakers in sneaker history back just in time for the holidays.
Official photos of the 2026 “Space Jam” Air Jordan XI have surfaced, giving sneakerheads their clearest look yet at the highly anticipated retro.
The legendary black-and-blue colorway is scheduled to return on December 12, 2026, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the original Space Jam movie starring Michael Jordan.
The upcoming release stays close to the familiar formula: a black mesh upper, glossy black patent leather, white midsole and icy translucent outsole, finished with Varsity Royal/blue Jumpman branding. The heels feature the iconic “23”, while the tongue carries the nostalgic “JUMPMAN JAM” detail.
The “Space Jam” Air Jordan XI has been retroed several times since its original retail debut in 2000, with notable returns in 2009 and 2016. The 2026 version once again brings the legendary Michael Jordan playoff and Space Jam aesthetic back to shelves.
