There has been plenty of talk that the Air Jordan 11 Retro ‘Space Jam’ will be making a return this year, 2016. Being that it will be the 20th anniversary for the movie Space Jam itself, the return of this beloved and highly coveted AJ11 only makes sense to happen. If you happened to have been on social media today, the sneaker community has been in an uproar over this picture seen here that was provided by Hichem.og. Many claiming the picture to be fake, the shoe to not be a sample or that this return of the colorway isn’t going to happen at all.
When it comes to early picture leaks the shoe is usually a sample and with this one here, that same rule applies. The Space Jam 11 shown is said to be a sample for December 2016 but considering there is no confirmation on this we have to take this information with a grain of salt.
While more information regarding this years December Air Jordan release will dwindle its way out as the months go on, many of us sure do hope the return of the ‘Space Jams’ is actually true but until then we have to play the waiting game. We will continue to update you guys accordingly on this possible release and until then let us know down in the comments your thoughts.
