The Air Jordan 11 "Legend Blue" is swoon-worthy, in that it sports a beautiful baby blue sole against an all-white canvas. The shoe, as the website states, is "back in all its glory" for the first time in a decade. Michael Jordan first debuted these kicks at the star-studded 1996 midseason exhibition, his first after a dreaded hiatus.
Here's what Nike has to say about the Air Jordan 11 "Legend Blue" kicks:
"The 11 stays dressed to impress, with its patent leather detailing remaining a shining symbol of iconic design. A carbon fiber plate and Zoom Air cushioning bring support, while that icy blue translucent outsole keeps your look clean."
These kicks are slated to hit the shelves on December 14, and while that may be days away, here are some kicks for you to ogle at in the meantime, as the world lies in anticipation for the upcoming Jordans.

Some of the sickest Air Jordan 11 kicks to have ever come out since 1995
1) Bred
These kicks are the brainchild of Tinker Hatfield, who designed it with every minute detail in mind. From its carbon-fiber plate to the patent leather, these kicks have got it all. Plus, it gets its unique name from the colors it sports, Black and Red. Michael Jordan first debuted these kicks when he came out of his first retirement, where he won his fourth title and earned the honor of being MVP.
2) Cool Grey
These 2021 kicks are a nod to the ones Michael Jordan wore whilst on his way to the fourth championship ring. He wore the same colorway at the time, and the revamped design features high-end patent and nubuck leathers, Nike Air cushioning in the full length, and an icy, cool outsole.
3) Concord
Michael Jordan took the world by storm when he debuted these kicks in 1995. Now, almost three decades later, the revamped version features the same beloved patent leather that sits atop a translucent sole. The two versions, albeit years apart, look identical, making it all the more iconic. And, just between MJ and its wearer, it features the latter's number 45 on the heel.
4) Cherry a.k.a. Varsity Red
While the basketball legend may have debuted the Air Jordan 11s in 1995, these 2022 Varsity Red ones are just as beloved and iconic today. Plus, with cherry red being back in style and trending all over TikTok, the kicks are more relevant than ever. They stand as a nod to the classic Chicago colors, while still maintaining the legendary silhouette.
5) Air Jordan 11 Low "Diffused Blue"
These kicks may not feature the same silhouette as the original, but are, as the website points out, "eternally popular." It features a blend of white, Diffused Blue, and Midnight Navy hues, set against some high-end leather and a breezy canvas, promising to elevate your fit while respecting the culture it stands for.
6) Women's Air Jordan 11 Neapolitan
This one is for the ladies because everybody loves a piece of Jordan. Tinker Hatfield can be credited for this one, matt, signature glossy patent leathers and all. It showcases a pop of some sweet Velvet Brown, Sail, and Soft Pink Atmosphere, and it's the translucent sole that sets it apart from the rest, giving it the name of an Air Jordan 11 because apparently, "That's the great thing about Neapolitan: you can have it all, in every step."
