“Who’s got it better than us?” Coach Harbaugh may be spending his Saturdays prepping in Los Angeles instead of on the sidelines in Ann Arbor, but still the mantra applies when it comes to the school’s status as a top-echelon Jordan school.

Continuously included in the various seasonal efforts that’ve seen schools unveil Air Jordan 4 and Air Jordan 14 colorways in recent years, it’s not only campus style where the Wolverines get to bare their sneaks. As we begin to gear up for a new college football season, Michigan just revealed their takeover of the Air Jordan 11, but this time, tooled for game action. Following what the public has seen with various “Blackout,” “Legend Blue,” and “Rare Air” editions, the Big Ten titans bring their trademark “Maize” coloring pretty much heel-to-toe, with the exception of a darkened Jumpman badge just above the collar.

Will it just be a matter of time before the Jumpman’s other gridiron programs brandish their own? Only time will tell on that end, but for now, feel free to peruse some school-provided images of the Air Jordan 11 “Michigan” cleats below.
