Jordan Brand is marking the thirtieth anniversary of "Space Jam" with a collection that puts the Air Jordan 11 at its center, three times over. The anchor of the lineup is a reissue of the Air Jordan 11 in its original "Space Jam" dress, cut to match the one collectors already know. Alongside it, the brand has added two further Air Jordan 11s in colorways that have never been seen before. For an archive-minded reader, that is the pairing worth noting: one shoe built to honor the record, two built to extend it. The patent-leather silhouette has long been a red carpet regular in its own right, so a careful return of the most famous version is the sort of thing this desk keeps a file on.
