For the 25th Anniversary Jordan 11 "Jubilee" GOAT Rounds Up The Best Air Jordan 11s
Celebrating the classic silhouette’s quarter-century birthday with a monochrome black finish.
The Air Jordan 11 “Jubilee,” also known as the Air Jordan 11 “25th Anniversary” celebrates this classic silhouette’s quarter-century birthday by releasing a new colorway of the Tinker Hatfield-designed shoe. The “Jubilee” takes hits from the AJ11 “Concord” as well as the “Space Jam” colorways but this finds itself rendered in a special monochrome black finish, constructed from a traditional blend of ballistic mesh and patent leather. Referencing back to that original sketch of the sneaker by Hatfield, the word “Jordan” sits as a meta branding of sorts, along the side of the eyelets, in metallic silver. Wondering where this shoe sits in the lineage of so many iconic Jordan 11s could be a headache so we simplified for you. Here’s a look at some of the best Air Jordan 11s that GOAT is carrying right now along with this latest release of the Air Jordan 11 “Jubilee,” available now on their site.
