The Holiday season is poised to be dominated by the Air Jordan 11 once again. Starting it all off will be the Air Jordan 11 “Inner Beast”, a Grade School exclusive colorway part of the “Sneaker School” series with strong indications of a Halloween theme tied to MJ’s iconic “Black Cat” nickname.

Starting off, the glow-in-the-dark outsole bottoms instantly draw our attention; the seldom-used detail marks a true first for the XI silhouette, instantly elevating the attraction to this upcoming release. The glowing bottoms are joined by a dark grey mudguard finished with a distressed exterior, a smooth leather upper, and Black Cat claw-marks behind the Jumpman logo at the heel. On the right insole reads “Unleash Your Inner Beast” with an added “n,” although the purpose behind that is not clear.

This continues the Air Jordan “Sneaker School” series, a special unit of Jordans created to educate the youth on the legacy of Michael Jordan and his historic impact on basketball and sneaker culture. The “millennial” generation may already hold the Air Jordan 11 near and dear to their hearts, but it’s time to pass down that knowledge to the new era of the culture.

This Air Jordan 11 release is set to kick off the Holiday season with release on October 4th, 2025 ($185). There are several more Jordan 11s set to drop throughout the final quarter of the 2025, such as the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma Blue” in December.
