Matt Varga Updated December 6th, 2024: Insider sources confirm that the Air Jordan 11 “Black/Red/Grey” release has been canceled, replaced on the Holiday 2025 slate but the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma,” and indirectly, the Air Jordan 11 “Rare Air.”
Original article published August 28th, 2024: Even before we hit 2024’s Holiday shopping season, early 2025 Jordan Release info has us budgeting for next year. Sliding in alongside Q4 drops like the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi,” Jordan 4 “Black Cat” and Jordan 8 “Bugs Bunny,” we’re getting word of the crown jewel of next December, the Air Jordan 11 “Black/Red/Grey.”
At this early stage, only colors are set in stone, and the plain descriptors of the shades here don’t impart much info about what the end product will truly look like. However, with the Jordan 11 the most coveted release of the year for more than a decade running, getting any sort of news about what 2025 will bring is plenty newsworthy in and of itself.
Perhaps more than any silo in the Jumpman roster, the Air Jordan 11 has arrived with heavy allusions to Mike’s playing career, particularly for these holiday releases. Many of the pairs from past years have revisited vaunted colorways in its own backlog (DMP, “Bred,” Cool Grey). For brand new looks though, weighty narratives are the norm; nodding to the once-winningest season in NBA history (72-10), the same winning ways at UNC (Win Like ’82) or the origin story of the model itself (Cap & Gown or Jubilee.) Especially with the iconic combo of black & red here, we’ll likely be treated to some sort of “Bulls” storytelling for this drop, but we simply have to wait & see exactly what tale is being told.
The Air Jordan 11 “Black/Red/Grey” is set for a December 2025 release, holding onto the $230 retail price the Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” will hold for 2024’s Holiday season.
