Jordan Brand unveils a new iteration of the classic Air Jordan 11 Retro sneaker model with the help of atmos as the two launch a new Varsity Red colorway palette. It retains the original silhouette with a dual tonal look across the entire low-cut look.
The upper is made from white ballistic mesh materials with tonal webbing eyelets and is then accented with a bright red mudguard in a different texture. This is designed with smooth patent leather materials and sits on top of white Phylon midsoles. It is rounded out by the slightly clear rubber outsoles to create a lightweight cushioned feel and is branded with the signature Jumpman embroidery at the back side of the heels.
