Jalen Hurts Debuts Air Jordan 11 “Love Hurts” Cleats vs. Cowboys

Jalen Hurts took the field in tonight’s NFL season opener against the Dallas Cowboys with a special set of footwear that immediately caught attention: custom Air Jordan 11 PEs.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback was spotted warming up in a glossy black patent leather pair, which features a striking red detail across the tongue spelling out “LOVE HURTS.” The message cleverly blends his last name with a nod to the game, while the bold styling ensures they stand out under the lights. On the heel, a gold Jumpman adds another premium detail to the otherwise sleek black-and-white cleat build.

The Air Jordan 11 has long been one of Jordan Brand’s most iconic silhouettes, instantly recognizable for its use of patent leather. While the classic model has been celebrated on the hardwood since its 1995 debut, Hurts’ exclusive PE version adapts it for the gridiron with molded studs and reinforced construction to handle the demands of the NFL.

As one of Jordan Brand’s marquee football athletes, Hurts continues to push the culture of player exclusives forward, bringing some of the Jumpman’s most beloved designs into new arenas. And on a high-profile night like a season opener against a division rival, his footwear is as much of a statement as his performance.

Expect these Air Jordan 11 cleats to remain exclusive to Jalen Hurts and unavailable to the public, but they serve as another reminder of the tight connection between Jordan Brand, football, and statement-making on the field.
