“Gamma Blue” Jordan 11s Release Date

End-of-year shopping is still a far-away concept, but in a year where Jordan Brand has kept pressure up throughout the year, perhaps 2025 is when parsing out which shoes you’ll pursue half a year in advance is the cogent play. Given the stacked slate of Jordan 11 Holiday 2025 drops on tap, fans of the silhouette will have some even tougher decisions to make than usual, made all the more challenging by new looks at the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma Blue.”

Here we get full confirmation that the colorway lives on unadulterated, as flares of “Gamma Blue” on the outsole and rear Jumpman pair with bright yellow on the “23” text and Air Jordan on the tongue. The true development for avid collectors is the updated shape here, a product of the “remastered” build aimed at recreating the originals. In simpler terms, the brand raises the height of the patent leather mudguard when compared to the 2013 originals.

As we’ve noted in our previous coverage surrounding this Holiday release, the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma Blue” is a paragon of the “love it or hate it” Jordan colorway. It’s a divisive shoe in the truest sense of the word, in which seemingly no middle ground on the stealthy make-up exists; either you’re all in, or all out.

At the time, this pair represented the closest thing fans had to an all-black Jordan 11 until the dawn of the “Cap and Gown” half a decade later. Though that shoe’s existence now boxes out the “Gamma” Jordan 11s from that specific refined application, this should still fill a void for collectors who cut their teeth in the 2010s, a lane already catered to by proximate editions like the Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard,” Jordan 5 “Grape,” and Jordan 4 “Military Blue.”

The “Gamma Blue” Air Jordan 11s are currently due out on December 13th as the central Holiday release for the Jumpman. Adult sizing is set at $230, but with additional GS and TD sizing coming alongside.
