Get ready for a heated debate in the sneaker world. Nike is dropping a controversial twist on one of the most iconic Air Jordans ever, the Air Jordan 11 ‘Bred Velvet’, and not everyone is on board.
Known for its deep ties to Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls legacy, the ‘Bred’ colorway has always been a fan favorite, especially when paired with the classic patent leather. But in a bold move, Nike has completely ditched the patent leather, replacing it with black velvet, a choice that has sneakerheads divided. While some praise the fresh look, others feel it’s straying too far from tradition. The decision to make this a women's exclusive has only added to the buzz, with many wondering why such a legendary colorway is being reserved for just one audience.
Despite the controversy, the Air Jordan 11 ‘Bred Velvet’ retains some familiar elements, like the white midsole and red translucent outsole. But the new details, including a metallic Jumpman logo and raised “23” branding, mark a clear departure from the original design.
Key Features Sparking Debate:
- Velvet upper replacing the iconic patent leather
- Classic black and red colorway revamped with premium materials
- Metallic Jumpman logo and raised “23” branding
- Exclusive to women's and kid's sizes
- Release date: November 11, 2024
- Retail price: $230
With the sneaker community divided, one thing is certain: the Air Jordan 11 ‘Bred Velvet’ is bound to fly off shelves, despite or maybe because of the debate surrounding it. Expect a rush when it drops on November 11, 2024, available at Mr. Shoe Dealer.
