Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam Magic Ball

Jordan may be hitting us with a bit of overkill for the 30th anniversary of Space Jam, but you can’t fault them for lacking creativity. After years of retros on the Air Jordan 11 and Air Jordan 9 colorways that actually made their way into the movie, two new pairs of Jordan 11 Retros have been added for the new anniversary: a monochrome green screen mix and a shiny Magic Ball colorway in iridescent gold.

Take Your Talents to Tune World

The Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam Magic Ball takes its name and colorway from the ball that created the Monstars and transported the talent of the All-Star hoopers targeted by the alien invaders. Will lacing up this pair give you prime Charles Barkley’s rebounding power or Patrick Ewing’s post moves? Probably not, but it’s worth a shot.

Starting with a monochrome upper covered in color-shifting gold, the pair changes its shade depending on the angle and how the sun hits it. Black is added to the laces, sockliner, and midsole, with an icy blue outsole to bring home the Space Jam energy. A Space Jam 30th Anniversary Jordan logo is added to the insole, with a back-of-the-tongue tag detail that reads “Celebrating the legacy of an icon that defies space and time. Inspired by the greatest player in the known universe.”
