Without a doubt, the original Nike Air Jordan XI and its derivative forms are seen as the most iconic basketball shoe in the history of the sport, and surely one of the most iconic in all of sneakers. So – how do you preserve the classic? Well, wouldn’t you give it new life as a departure from the past? That’s the Jordan Future.

Taking the original mold of the XI shoe and placing a copy of it on the Future, it is transformed with a woven upper that is 3M-reflective and given a cut that’s akin to a chukka boot. Sound different? It is, and it looks strangely familiar and yet something altogether apart from what you might’ve known.
