Air Jordan 11 "Lapis" Retro Expected November 2026

Jordan Brand is keeping the Air Jordan 11's 35th anniversary going, promising a number of special projects by the end of 2026. In addition to unveiling the model's first-ever collaboration, Tinker Hatfield's patent leather-covered design for "His Airness" will launch in more easily-accessible styles.

According to the duo of Sneaker Market and X user @zSneakerheadz, Michael Jordan's favorite silhouette will launch in a "Lapis/Off-Noir/Metallic Silver" color scheme in mid-November. As has been the case for the last handful of years, the blue-clad retro is likely only landing in Women's and Girl's sizing. Elevated material choices are also expected to form part of the project, further cementing the Air Jordan in the lifestyle and fashion spaces.

A speculative mock-up of the sneaker depicts it as donning the titular "Lapis" tone across the bulk of its upper, with black-adjacent contrast landing along the midsole and around the collar. The tried-and-proven outsole should opt for a semi-translucent, icy finish.

Stay tuned for detailed product shots. Pairs are currently expected to release via Nike.com/Jordan on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
