If you’re like most, you just can’t get enough of the upcoming Air Jordan XI Space Jam. Many of us grew up watching MJ rock these in Space Jam, as well as the 1995 NBA Playoffs against Shaq, Penny and the Orlando Magic. Last seen on store shelves in 2009, this sneaker has been long overdue for a new release. Dipped in black with Dark Concord graphics and an icy blue sole, it’s not a surprise why this sneaker’s popularity never ceases.

For 2016, it sports a few extra details that were absent from its previous releases, making it the best version we’ve see yet. Two of the most noticeable details is the use of fat laces, as well as the “Nike Air” logo, placed on the insole. What truly sets the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam 2016 apart from its previous releases, however, is the use of a stitched “45” on the back. Both the 2000 and 2009 releases featured a painted on “23”, inaccurate, considering that MJ actually wore “45” during the 1995 Playoffs. Sure, it’s only a slight change, but these little details make this sneaker the accurate release of the sneaker that we’ve seen to date, and that goes a long way with some of the purists.

Priced at $220, the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam will hit stores on December 10. Considering that this is the most anticipated (and hyped up) release of the year, expect this sneaker to sell out almost instantly. If you’d like to skip the crowds and headache of trying to order from most online sites, get your hands on a pair before everyone else does, you can already find just about every size on eBay. Here’s a direct link to the listings.
