Thirty-One Years Solo: The Air Jordan 11 Finally Takes a Partner

The Air Jordan 11 went thirty-one years without a collaborator, and it has now agreed to its first. For a shoe that sits near the top of the Jordan line in the hearts of the people who collect it, that is a remarkably patient stretch. Anyone keeping an archive, whether on a closet shelf in Miami or behind glass in New York, should add this entry: the first joint project in the model's history. Some classics simply take their time choosing company.
