Description
NIKE, NIKE AIR JORDAN XI, SIZE 12
Rubber, Leather, Cotton
2016
The Air Jordan XI’s, designed by legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield, were created in 1995 when Hatfield realized that Michael Jordan could roll his foot on hard cuts when playing. Hatfield took this opportunity to build a sneaker that would suit Michael with these difficult movements during gameplay. The patent leather on the uppers of the shoe additionally allowed Michael to wear the sneakers with a suit.
The ultra-exclusive Nike Air Jordan 11 Retro x OVO ‘Gold’ sample is a unique addition to the numerous collaborations between Nike and rapper Drake’s October’s Very Own (“OVO”) label. Similar to the all gold Air Jordan 11’s that Usher debuted in 2014, this pair designed with Drake in mind, is sought after for its rarity and unusual design.
Notably this collaboration is without the classic OVO owl insignia, instead featuring the ‘jumpman’ logo and the iconic number 23. The pair also features gold glitter flakes inside the icy outsoles as well as a set of gold-toned laces. The Nike Air Jordan 11 OVO ‘Gold’ was never released to the public, making the sneakers a rare and exciting find.
