Jordan Brand has a tradition of celebrating Chinese New Year with thematic silhouettes. The Air Jordan 11 Low is reportedly joining the lineup with an upcoming “Year of the Snake” release. Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the sneakers will be officially launched on January 23, 2025, with a price point of around $190.

Disclaimer: Details of the Air Jordan 11 Low “Year of the Snake” sneakers are only speculated, and have not been yet confirmed by the brands. These are subject to change.

The Air Jordan line is one of the most beloved sneakers around the world. It has seen multiple fan-acclaimed silhouettes like the Air Jordan 11. It was first introduced in 1995, with a mix of patent leather, mesh, and bold designs.

How might the Air Jordan 11 Low “Year of the Snake” sneakers look?

The “Year of the Snake” edition of the beloved line draws inspiration from the Chinese zodiac’s Year of the Snake. Its design reportedly replaces the model’s signature patent leather mudguard with an iridescent snakeskin overlay.

The snakeskin is dressed in shades of Football Grey. It wraps around the shoe giving it a textured look. The sneakers have a speculated colorway of Summit White/ Football Grey-Black.

The upper of the shoes is crafted from Summit White tumbled leather. The white midsole complements the muted tones. To add a contemporary touch a semi-translucent milky outsole has been featured. These features are believed to make the design versatile enough to pair with multiple outfits.

Jordan Brand is noted for its attention to detail, and the “Year of the Snake” edition does not get an exception. Grey accents on the laces and tongue, and subtle stitching across the upper are seen on the sneakers. The iconic Jumpman logo is also featured.

The sail-colored midsole and a semi-transparent rubber outsole are some of its features that can be highlighted further. This mix-up of materials and textures elevates the overall design and look of the upcoming sneakers.
