The Air Jordan 11 for Holiday 2025 Arrives in Black and Grey
Arguably the most anticipated annual leak, the Holiday Air Jordan 11 release draws significant interest. Often heralded as the crown jewel of the Holiday release schedule, the yearly anticipation is high, and for December 2025, the Air Jordan 11 will be “Black/Red/Grey” and will take that spot on the mantle.
At this early stage, the only confirmed details are the color palette, which hints at a potentially iconic release but leaves much to the imagination regarding the final design. However, given the Air Jordan 11’s status as the most coveted release of the year for over a decade, any early news about what 2025 has in store is significant in its own right.
Many of these holiday Air Jordan 11 releases have historically revisited classic colorways like the "Bred" or 2024's "Columbia," — but when introducing new looks, the brand has often leaned on narratives steeped in history—whether it’s celebrating the Chicago Bulls’ record-setting 72-10 season or honoring UNC’s winning legacy. Given the iconic combination of black and red in this upcoming release, we might expect a nod to Michael Jordan’s Bulls-era dominance. Still, we’ll have to wait for more details to see exactly what story Jordan Brand plans to tell.
It’s also worth noting that 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the Jordan Brand, and there’s speculation that this holiday, Air Jordan 11 could be a special-edition pair to commemorate this milestone. While details on that front remain sparse, it adds another layer of intrigue to an already highly anticipated release.
The Air Jordan 11 “Black/Red/Grey” is slated for a December 2025 release. Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.
