Early on in the year, leakers reported that the Air Jordan 11 “DMP” would be returning for Holiday 2023. And while these rumors would turn out to be true, the colorway’s upcoming retro would leave a bit to be desired for diehard fans of the origina release from 2006, as it changes up not only the construction but also the name.

Though it closely resembles that of its much-beloved predecessor, the design of the 2023 Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” features one different key detail about the original. In place of mesh, the whites of the construction are built entirely out of a tumbled leather, giving the upper a more robust, premium feel. What’s more, the outsole has been treated with a slightly yellowed finish. The rest of the shoe, however, is much more faithful to the source material, boasting a black patent leather mudguard as well as gilded branding.

Enjoy a closer look at the Jordan 11 “Gratitude” right here. According to previous reports, these are expected to release on Deccember 9th via Nike SNKRS as well as select retailers.
