One of Jordan Brand’s boldest designs is set to make a comeback this holiday season. The Air Jordan 11 ‘Gamma Blue’, first released in 2013, will return on December 13, 2025, reigniting conversations among sneakerheads worldwide.
Air Jordan 11 'Gamma' (2013 Version)
Introduction:
The Air Jordan 11 is often considered one of the most iconic silhouettes in sneaker history. Unlike other Jordan models that see numerous releases, the AJ11 has been treated with care, typically reserved for one or two drops each year.
Among these, OG colorways like ‘Space Jam’ and ‘Cool Grey’ hold legendary status, partly due to their ties to Michael Jordan himself. The ‘Gamma Blue’, however, is a different story.
Design Details:
When it debuted in 2013, the ‘Gamma Blue’ was the first non-OG colorway of the AJ11, sparking mixed reactions. Its bold design—a sleek black mesh upper, glossy patent leather mudguard, and vibrant Gamma Blue and Varsity Maize accents—challenged the traditional Jordan aesthetic. Now, more than a decade later, it’s ready to make its mark once again.
The 2025 version stays true to the original but includes subtle updates for collectors. A higher patent leather cut brings the design closer to the AJ11’s original shape, while the peaks on the leather add a refined touch. Whether you’ve been a fan since its controversial debut or are seeing it for the first time, this retro release strikes a balance between nostalgia and fresh appeal.
Release Info:
Available in full family sizing, the Air Jordan 11 ‘Gamma Blue’ will retail for $230 USD in adult sizes. As we head into the holiday season, this bold yet classic sneaker is set to be a centerpiece for collectors and casual fans alike.
