Vintage 1996 Air Jordan 11 Low
/ Description
In the original box
“We were looking at how we could extend the original performance basketball shoe into something that could further the design, but turn into a low top,” says Hatfield. “I wasn’t interested in an exact replica of a XI in a low top; I was more interested in doing a low top that was partly the Jordan XI, but fresher. I felt like [patent leather] was contrary to the summer feel, The shoe didn’t need to feel so stiff and heavy. For the summer, I wanted something that was lighter and easier to wear. I changed the pattern to put breathability in the right spots. Then, when you look at the different compositions, you want to fill in the gaps with something that could be decorative, like elephant print. I thought about trying textures and stitching. The mesh said something about summer, and the stitching we did really artfully.” Tinker Hatfield
