The “Barons” motif, inspired by Michael Jordan’s minor league baseball stint with the Birmingham Barons, returns to a classic Air Jordan silhouette in 2017. This time, an Air Jordan 11 Retro Low adopts a clean black and white colorway. Areas of the upper that are traditionally Cordura mesh appear in a buttery Black suede on this version. The patent leather mudguard, also black, features a marbled black and silver finish. The usual Jumpan branding can be found on the tongue and heel, along with the familiar “23” logo. A white midsole and an icy translucent outsole complete the slick design.
Key Points :
Signature Patent Leather Rand: Features a high-gloss patent leather mudguard that wraps around the entire shoe, providing both a "tuxedo-ready" look and structural support to prevent the foot from rolling.
Ballistic Mesh Upper: Most iterations utilize a durable, lightweight Cordura nylon or ballistic mesh that offers breathability and a flexible fit.
Webbed Lacing System: A unique "speed-lacing" setup using nylon webbing loops that provides a secure, lockdown fit across the midfoot.
Full-Length Air-Sole Unit: Equipped with an encapsulated, full-length Air-Sole unit for consistent, responsive cushioning from heel to toe.
Phylon Midsole: A full-length Phylon foam carrier houses the Air unit, providing a stable and comfortable ride.
Translucent Outsole: A clear (or "icy") rubber outsole offers a premium look and high-traction grip on various surfaces.
