Update: The Air Jordan 11 “Blackout” is releasing on May 26th, 2018.

One of the most storied and elusive Air Jordan samples ever may only be that for a little while longer, as it is rumored to be releasing in 2018. The Air Jordan 11 “Blackout” first caught the sneaker world by the ear back in 2012 when a Jordan 11 “Blackout” sample popped up on eBay and promptly sold for over $11,000. Since then, fans of the Jordan 11 have only dreamed that they would one day see the famed colorway release. It finally seems that six years later that dream will become reality. The sleek tonal black colorway of the classic Jordan silhouette is rumored to be set for a release in May of 2018. While this may signal one of the most hyped Jordan Brand drops in recent memory, it also shows that releases of the Jordan 11 Mid are apparently no longer reserved for the holiday season as they once were. Nonetheless, its safe to say that this colorway could drop on a random Tuesday in July and it would still have the attention of the entire sneaker-collecting community. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for all the latest details on the Jordan 11 “Blackout” release as they become available.
