An Up Close Look At The Air Jordan 11 Wool

Not to be confused with the upcoming Air Jordan 11 Suede, here is a good close-up look of an Air Jordan 11 Wool. We let you guys know that a wool-constructed Air Jordan 11 was in the works, but we haven’t really gotten a good look at the shoe, until now.

This version of the Air Jordan 11 will come with a wool constructed upper, very similar to what we’ve seen from the AJ 3 Wool and AJ 12 Wool.  A Dark Grey and Black colorway takes care of the woolen upper, while a White midsole unit and translucent outsole finishes off the premium aesthetics of the shoe.

It is currently being rumored that this Air Jordan 11 Wool will be releasing during the holiday season for the retail price of $400. Be sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 11 Wool hub page for all the latest details and images of this upcoming holiday Jordan Brand release.

AIR JORDAN 9 1 AIR JORDAN 9 2 AIR JORDAN 9 3 AIR JORDAN 9 4

In the next few weeks we’ll be seeing a couple of different colorways of the Air Jordan 9 arrive at retailers. First we’ll see the Kobe Bryant PE colorway release a week from today, which will be followed up by this OG White/Black/True Red colorway in early December.

Earlier this week we were informed that Jordan Brand is now referring to this OG colorway of the Air Jordan 9 as the Space Jam colorway since Michael Jordan wore it in the actual movie 20 years ago. I’m not sure whether or not the new name is going to help its sales, or if anyone really cares, but we’re sure that fans of the silhouette are excited to see this colorway make a return.

Releasing on December 3rd for a retail price of $190, will you be scooping up this Air Jordan 9?
