The Air Jordan 11 “Platinum Tint” is a premium edition of the iconic model that debuted in 2018. The "Platinum Tint" colorway eschews the Air Jordan 11’s traditional glossy patent leather on the mudguard and features a matte finish across the upper for a striking and refined aesthetic. The light shade of Platinum Tint covers both the ballistic nylon mesh and nubuck panels of the upper. The semi-translucent rubber outsole is also done in a matching shade. Black and red accents provide a nod to Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls teams. In a first for the Air Jordan 11, an extra layer of piping is added to the ankle panel.
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.
