Jordan Brand is celebrating Space Jam's 30th anniversary with another Air Jordan 11, and this one is for women. The Air Jordan 11 "Magic Ball" releases November 11th for $235.
The name comes from the magic basketball in the movie, the one the Monstars use to steal talent. Jordan Brand took that idea and ran with it. The result looks nothing like the original "Space Jam" 11.
Instead of black patent leather, the upper has a matte, color-shifting finish. It changes tone depending on the angle and the light. Reports describe shades of green and purple, which gives the shoe a futuristic feel.
Black shows up on the laces, sockliner, and midsole to ground the look. A Space Jam 30th anniversary Jumpman sits on the insole. A tongue tag adds a small celebration message too. This is a women's exclusive with extended sizing. The style code is IZ1800-200. Expect pairs through SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers.
Women's pairs tend to go quick, and the larger sizes usually disappear first. If you're hoping to grab a pair for yourself or a gift, plan for a big release morning.
Air Jordan 11 “Magic Ball”
The "Magic Ball" is one of three Air Jordan 11s celebrating the film this holiday season. It's also the first to arrive, dropping a few days before the "Green Screen" pair. The standard "Space Jam" 11 closes things out on December 12th.
That makes this release feel different from the other two. It isn't a retro, and it isn't tied to Michael Jordan's original pair. It's a creative take that pulls from the movie's story.
The price matches the standard "Space Jam" 11 at $235. That's solid for a pair with a one-of-one finish. Jordan Brand has been leaning into women's exclusives lately, and this one stands out.
The limited sizing and a unique look could push prices up as well. If the shifting colors look as good in person as they do in photos, this could be a sleeper cop of the season.
