Air Jordan 11 “Galaxy” Celebrates Space Jam's 30th Anniversary

The Air Jordan 11 has always been synonymous with Space Jam, but for its next chapter, Jordan Brand appears ready to push that story even further into orbit.

Arriving alongside the highly anticipated return of the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” this December, a newly surfaced variant dubbed the Air Jordan 11 “Galaxy” adds a cosmic twist to one of the most iconic sneakers of all time. Timed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Space Jam, the pair expands on the original’s legacy rather than rewriting it, offering collectors a fresh yet familiar take on a cultural cornerstone.

At a glance, the Air Jordan 11 “Galaxy” sticks closely to the classic Space Jam formula. Crisp white ballistic mesh uppers sit above clean white midsoles, while translucent outsoles anchor the look in unmistakable Jordan DNA. The defining update arrives at the mudguard, where a galaxy-inspired graphic replaces the traditional glossy patent leather. The result evokes the same outer-space energy popularized by Nike’s Galaxy Foamposites, giving the silhouette a bold visual identity without straying too far from its roots.

While Jordan Brand has yet to officially confirm final materials or finishes, early information indicate the retail release should stay very close to what’s been previewed.

Unlike the standard Space Jam release, the Air Jordan 11 “Galaxy” is expected to be produced in more limited numbers, positioning it as a collector-focused companion rather than a mass-market alternative. Both pairs are currently rumored to release on December 12.
