It’s been just under nine years since yours truly nearly died in an icey storm on my way to cop the first run of this legendary sneaker. In all seriousness, the trip was a bit longer than normal because the weather cleared the mall parking lot, but it sorta ‘paved’ the way for me to cop them after school; I got the second to last pair in the store. Even recalling that story for you now makes me a little anxious, so it’s totally reasonable that some of you who absolutely needed these already secured them.
The Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Retro is still set for a late December drop, but you can already get yours with the full packaging, shoe trees and all from Osneaker, plus get $5 off when you use the code “sneakernews” (no quotes) at checkout. Whether you buy them today or not, be sure to click the jump below for some really well lit photos that show you exactly what to expect from your pair, and check out some much bigger shots as the first of our new series of Sneaker Wallpapers.

Got mine last month. They are limited release. I believe overseas will get them before they release in the U.S
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:38 pm
I pre ordered my pair back in August. They arrived at my crib around the second week of September. They are remarkable. I mean the quality on these are pretty much the same as the CDP bred 11s but for some reason the Space Jams are much better. I absolutely adore them and I’m coppin another oair when they release. And they are releasing on December 23rd.

Spacejams suck Jordan Brand had ruined another exclusive kick by making it a General release. The one thing that made space jams so special is the fact that nobody had them. Now that your gonna see every punk wearing them the value of that shoe is gone. You can check ebay if you think i am lieing alot of the older collectors are trying to get rid of there OG spacejams before they aint worth anything. Same thing they did to the Blk/University XII. That why i am out the kick game JB sucks after the whole CDP gimmick!
November 19th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
Does anyone know where in NY they are going to be released?
November 24th, 2009 at 1:11 am

November 24th, 2009 at 4:30 pm

November 29th, 2009 at 11:47 am
will these be available for boys size? plz help
November 29th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
yeah these are a general release and will release in boys sizes too. my very reliable source tells me that jb made so many space jams this time around that you will be able to get these if you want them even if you wait weeks after the release. I was told that there is no way they will be able to sell them all. i mean way way over produced. you will not have to line up for these and everyone who wants these will be able to cop them. i hear europe will be more limited but in the U.S. you don’t have to worry at all. Thanks jb.
December 1st, 2009 at 11:40 pm
cop 2 workin on 3rd one ya it’s a general general release but face it it’s the spacejams when are you gon get another chance to get them next decade again?? now with know how to take care of them this is gone be mint mint leave it outside it;ll yellow so just keep it in a dark dark place imma sneaker head and i say i stop sellin my shit now imma keep my o.g and my retros
December 3rd, 2009 at 1:35 am
seen these in footlocker. they are crazy. they will release 12/24/09. 2 pair on hold.
December 3rd, 2009 at 5:35 am
Today I heard from someone that i know who works at nike Europ ( in the netherlands), that the spacejams are not going to be retro’d anymore.
Than Gad i managed to purchase two already becau in the netherlands they will only release them to one store with very few available.
Here are mine:

December 8th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
j1988…ur probably right. I might just hafta put em up for a few years until everyone ruins theirs. Then some friday night in 2015 ima roll up to the club in my 2015 Chevy hovercar numtalkinbout and step out in these sweet sonzabitches and everyone will be breakin their necks. Then, when they ask me where i got em ima be like….MARS b!t(hes….RED ROCKS!!! Lmao.
P.s.: Too all of you “sneakerheads” out there who are rockin’ fakes….PLEASE STOP!! You’re KILLIN’ the sneaker game real talk. And for those who cant tell the difference like real sneakerheads can…here is a hint. If you coppin’ “exclusive” J’s from a freind who has a “hook-up” for $50, $75 etc., and they always have your size….c’mon now…THEY’RE FAKE!
December 10th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
wait i dont understand how everyone are goin to have these arent they suppose to be quickstrikes which hard to come by but u must be right because i didnt kno footlocker have quickstrikes??!!
December 10th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
All you guys crying about them making too much should settle down. Why you mad? Cause people are gonna rock em with gear you can’t afford because you spent all you $ on the kicks? Relax…anyone and everyone can wear the same pair…it’s how you rock that matters. Herbs.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
