Air Jordan 11 Lapis Retro Set for November 2026
Jordan Brand is preparing another chapter in the Air Jordan 11's storied timeline with a Lapis colorway slated for November 2026. The retro release continues the model's celebrated lineage of premium finishes and refined aesthetics.
By Marcus Chen
The Air Jordan 11 remains one of basketball's most enduring silhouettes, and the upcoming Lapis iteration underscores its continued relevance within Jordan's retro calendar. The colorway, arriving in late 2026, positions the shoe alongside a growing roster of heritage releases that have helped sustain the brand's momentum in the broader sneaker market.
First introduced in 1995 under Tinker Hatfield's direction, the Air Jordan 11 established a blueprint for luxury basketball footwear—a DNA that persists across modern retro offerings. The Lapis edition signals Jordan Brand's confidence in the model's versatility, particularly its ability to anchor seasonal color palettes that appeal beyond court-focused collectors.
Release Details
Specific material compositions and design specifications for this particular iteration have yet to surface, though Jordan's recent Air Jordan 11 releases have maintained the signature patent leather overlays and Jumpman branding that define the silhouette. Given current market conditions—with Jordan deals averaging 33% off across major retailers—timing the Lapis release for the holiday season positions it competitively within the brand's broader November and December slate.
For those tracking Air Jordan 11 activity, the Lapis retro complements existing inventory within the model's ecosystem, including collaborative efforts like the JAIDE x Air Jordan 11 Low Fiberglass that released earlier this year.
