The Air Jordan 11 MCS "Black/Metallic Gold" is set to release Fall/Winter 2026. It's priced at $220 through Nike. An exact release date hasn't been confirmed just yet.
This is a baseball cleat, not a basketball shoe. The style code is HM7326-001. Jordan Brand lists the colorway as Black/Anthracite-Metallic Gold officially.
Black patent leather wraps the mudguard from heel to toe. The tongue, rope laces, and collar lining all stay black too. It's a much darker take than a typical Air Jordan 11 release. Metallic gold hits come through the Jumpman logos on the ankle and tongue. Matching gold accents show up on the heel as well. That's the only real break from the all-black build.
Instead of a traditional outsole, this version uses a molded cleat plate. Studs sit at the forefoot and heel for traction on the field. The classic Air Jordan 11 shape stays intact everywhere else.
Jordan Brand's baseball presence has grown fast in recent seasons. These cleats fit right into that expanding lineup.
Air Jordan 11 MCS “Black/Metallic Gold”
The black and gold combo isn't random. It resembles the Air Jordan 6/11 "Defining Moments Pack" from 2006. That release paired a black-and-gold Jordan 6 with a white-based Jordan 11. It's arguably one of the most iconic colorway packs of all time.
This MCS version actually leans closer to the AJ6 half of that pack. The all-black base with gold accents matches that shoe's look more than the original white AJ11. It's a subtle callback rather than a direct remake, but those who know will appreciate it.
Baseball cleats built off basketball silhouettes have become a real category lately. Jordan Brand keeps signing top players across contending MLB rosters. Cleats like this one are part of that bigger push on the field.
For collectors, the appeal here goes beyond just wearing them to play. The all-black colorway reads more like a lifestyle drop than pure gear. That crossover appeal tends to matter just as much as function.
