As the new football season approaches, the Howard Bison have unveiled a new addition to their gameday arsenal — exclusive Air Jordan 11 cleats designed specifically for the program.
The custom footwear blends one of Jordan Brand’s most iconic silhouettes with Howard’s signature identity, creating a look that represents the intersection of HBCU pride, football tradition, and sneaker culture.
This Bison-exclusive footwear comes in both higher and lower collared iterations.
The mids sport a Bison blue patent leather build with red showing up on the “23” as well as the metallic Jumpman at the lateral ankle. Howard branding appears on the midfoot sash
Like its higher collared brethren the low version of this team exclusive cleat features blue patent leather construction. The monochromatic aesthetic is only disrupted by the red “23” and Jumpman and rear heel. As was also the case with the mid, a Howard logo is also prominently seen at the midfoot strip.
The Air Jordan 11 has long been regarded as one of the most recognizable sneakers in history, and seeing that legacy transition onto the football field gives the Bison another way to showcase their partnership with Jordan Brand.
For Howard, this is more than just a pair of cleats — it’s another statement of the program’s national presence.
The Bison have become one of the most visible HBCU programs in the sneaker world, consistently delivering exclusive footwear moments that highlight the importance of branding and culture in modern college athletics.
From the hardwood to the gridiron, Howard continues to prove that HBCU programs can lead the way in innovation, style, and visibility.
The new season will bring new challenges on the field, but the Bison will arrive with one of the freshest looks in college football.
