The iconic [Air Jordan 11](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bred-velvet) silhouette is getting another tonal update with the relaunch of the Gamma Blue colorway palette. The silhouette is doused in hues of black, Gamma Blue, black, and Varsity Maize -- it is set to join the roster again for the December 2025 lineup.

The build is entirely black at the base with some [pops of blue tones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signal-blue) that can be seen in areas including the outsole unit and the [Jumpman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-metallic) logo at the collar. The release date is yet to be announced but the price will be at $230 USD. Notably, the sole unit is slightly clear with the Varsity Maize color righting the heel unit and the tongue which adds some branding.
