Jordan Brand is releasing a new colorway of the Air Jordan 11 to mark the 30th anniversary of the film Space Jam. The sneaker, dubbed the “Green Screen” Air Jordan 11, is set to drop during the holiday 2026 season.
The shoe is a direct reference to the film’s antagonists, the Monstars. It features a black nubuck upper. A bright green patent leather mudguard provides the primary contrast. The color blocking mirrors the 1995 “Space Jam” Air Jordan 11 worn by Michael Jordan in the movie.
