Jordan Brand Turns the Air Jordan 11 Low Into Cleats

Jordan Brand continues to translate its most iconic silhouettes into gridiron-ready designs, with the Air Jordan 11 Low “Anthracite” US Football Cleat scheduled to release in Summer 2026.

Following the recent debut of the Air Jordan 11 “Black Patent” football cleats, the Air Jordan 11 Low “Anthracite” US Football Cleat offers a streamlined low-cut alternative while retaining the unmistakable DNA of the original basketball classic. The pair mirrors the glossy aesthetic fans have come to expect from the Air Jordan 11 lineage, delivering a sleek, all-black finish suited for the field.

The upper arrives fully dressed in anthracite patent leather, wrapping the mudguard and lower panels in a reflective, mirror-like sheen. Matching mesh tongues and tonal laces maintain the monochrome presentation, while subtle Jumpman branding appears across the tongue, insole, and heel. The low-top construction offers increased ankle mobility compared to the previously released mid-cut football cleat version, making it a more agile option for skill-position players.

Underfoot, the Air Jordan 11 Low “Anthracite” US Football Cleat swaps the traditional icy outsole for a football-ready plate built for traction on turf and grass. Molded studs extend from the sole unit, engineered to provide stability and explosive grip during cuts and acceleration.

Though the design remains faithful to the basketball original, its transformation into a cleat underscores Jordan Brand’s continued push into football performance footwear while celebrating its heritage models in new contexts.

The Air Jordan 11 Low “Anthracite” US Football Cleat is expected to release in Summer 2026 for $195 via Nike and select retailers such as DICK's Sporting Goods.

Stay tuned for updates as Jordan Brand continues to rework its classics for the field.
