Sneaker News Jordan Brand’s celebration of the 30th anniversary of Space Jam continues with one of the more imaginative Air Jordan 11 releases of the year. The women’s-exclusive Air Jordan 11 “Magic Ball” has been officially confirmed for a November 11th, 2026 release, arriving with a retail price of $235.
The sneaker draws inspiration from a memorable object in the 1996 film: the glowing basketball used by the Nerdlucks to steal the basketball abilities of NBA stars Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Muggsy Bogues, Larry Johnson, and Shawn Bradley. Those stolen talents ultimately transformed the diminutive aliens into the formidable Monstars, setting the stage for their showdown against Michael Jordan and the Tune Squad.
That supernatural basketball serves as the basis for the shoe’s most distinctive feature. Rather than the traditional combination of ballistic nylon mesh and patent leather, the Air Jordan 11 “Magic Ball” features a synthetic leather upper with an iridescent matte finish that shifts between four colors depending on the viewing angle. Black accents cover the midsole, laces, and interior, while a translucent blue outsole completes the design. According to Jordan Brand, it’s a first for the Air Jordan 11.
The release is part of a larger Space Jam anniversary collection that includes the return of the original Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” on December 12th, the upcoming “Green Screen” colorway on November 16th, and the larger Space Jam collection that will begin dropping on November 5th.
The Air Jordan 11 “Magic Ball” releases on November 11th through Nike SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers for $235. Although designated as a women’s exclusive, the sneaker will be available in extended sizing up to a women’s 14.5.
