Andrew Rizzo Updated October 13th, 2026: The Air Jordan 11 “Lapis” does not exist. Early reports from sneaker leakers said this would be an Air Jordan 11 retro release, but the shoe is instead the Air Jordan 11 MCS “Space Jam” baseball cleat.
Original article published February 9th, 2026:
November 11th, or 11/11, has become a meaningful date for Jordan Brand, routinely reserved for fresh Air Jordan 11 colorways due to the model’s obvious tie to the calendar. That tradition is set to continue in 2026, as Sneaker Market Romania reports that an Air Jordan 11 “Lapis” is in the works for later this year.
Like “Bred Velvet” and “Pearl” releases from the past two years, the annual 11/11 drop is once again expected to arrive exclusively in women’s sizing, though little kids and infant/toddler versions remain a possibility. The sneaker is said to feature a “Lapis/Off Noir/Metallic Silver” color scheme, but details surrounding materials, color blocking, and any special design elements are still unknown at this time.
While “Lapis” isn’t a familiar color name within the Air Jordan or Nike canon, it typically refers to a deep blue or indigo tone inspired by the metamorphic stone lapis lazuli. That opens the door for a potential jewelry-inspired theme, though that’s purely speculative for now. The mockups below offer a rough idea of what the final product could look like.
The Air Jordan 11 “Lapis” is currently expected to release November 11th, 2026 via Nike SNKRS in women’s sizing for $230 USD. Stay tuned for first looks/official images.
