Air Jordan 11 Retro “Space Jam” Release Date Change

Air Jordan 11 Retro

On Thanksgiving Day, we showcased the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” as one of the 15 Sneakers We’re Most Thankful For Returning in ‘09. This highly anticipated sneaker was one of two sneakers on the list that we are still awaiting (the other was the Air Jordan 12 “Flu Game” that released a day after our feature). However, we will now have to wait just a day after its original release date.

With that said, Jordan Brand has rescheduled the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” to December 24th, 2009. This potentially makes Christmas shopping that much more hectic and last-minute to say the least. However the prolonged wait (it’s just a day people) will make the drop all the more special. Check out the official release date information below.

Release Date: 12/24/2009

Model: Air Jordan 11

Color: Black/Varsity Royal-White

Product Code: 378037-041

Price: $175

Info: Air Jordan Release Dates

    Already preordered mine so I don’t really care, but the whole situation involving these shoes is kind of weird. First everyone who is willing to pay $300 gets them early, and now the date has been changed for the 2nd time.

    Two of my most reliable connects are saying the Space Jam is a general release.

    $175 is a hefty price ! Why are Jordans so expensive ? Its not liek there the best material &x they get fxcked up faster then the average shoe if you ask me .. But nobody did ask me so let me shut up &x blend in …. Dope Shoe !!

  18. Posted by Harris at November 29, 2009 at 6:38 pm

    Damn, Christmas Eve? What assholes. Thank god I don’t celebrate Christmas though, LOL.

  19. Posted by soulie17 at November 29, 2009 at 7:33 pm

    Luckily for me they won’t sell out where I live because me and my friend are the only sneakerheads within like 500 miles of the nearest shoe stores. So if you want a pair or two just come down to frickin hickville where I live :D

  20. Posted by mints at November 29, 2009 at 7:38 pm

    I hope I’m not the only person that’s glad they’re changing the date. My office will be completely dead on the 24th so I can spend the hours I’d normally while away at my desk on the site riding around town and picking up a few pairs of these to keep on ice. Now I just need to find a way to keep them in a cool dry spot in my house from here until I’m ready to break them out.

  21. Posted by 24lebron24 at November 29, 2009 at 7:47 pm

    i thought every1 already knew of the date change. its been posted at my store for over a month now

  22. Posted by Bossman at November 29, 2009 at 7:56 pm

    Its been on the 24th. Pass though. White/red 12′s thankyou.

  23. Posted by big hank at November 29, 2009 at 7:59 pm

    any body out there from honolulu know the best day to sit out side of footaction and wait for this one….just saying cause im new here from the main land and dont see that crazy of a sneaker head frenzy out here.

  24. Posted by th3darkhors3 at November 29, 2009 at 8:01 pm

    Is anyone thinking about hoopin in theirs? I mean they are dope and all but they are a reissue and they are shoes. I think im going to break them out for the spring semester and watch the haters hate.

  25. Posted by big hank at November 29, 2009 at 8:05 pm

    buy two pairs floss in one hoop in the other….wouldnt reccomend it but that would be a hell of a stunt assumeing not too many people will try to pull that off.

  26. Posted by mercy at November 29, 2009 at 9:23 pm

    They are coming in different sizes so that tells you they are going to be general release but limited quanities like most jordan retros. Thats whats up tho, gonna cop a pair for my daughter.

  27. Posted by hect23 at November 29, 2009 at 9:43 pm

    Bred looks better

  28. Posted by KB24 at November 29, 2009 at 9:58 pm

    Cant take the hype. Guna pick em up but damm, hope it aint like the 11/12 CDP!

  29. Posted by Chris at November 29, 2009 at 10:06 pm

    already got mine about 3 months ago from vmvinc.com….they look great. Thank god for pre-ordering, im not about to wait in line the day before christmas

  30. Posted by DCSnkrHead at November 29, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    I HOPE THESE ARE A GENERAL RELEASE LIKE THE “FLU GAMES” WHICH I GOT AT FOOTLOCKER FOR 125$.SWWWAAATEEEE!

  31. Posted by END$ at November 29, 2009 at 11:08 pm

    its just sad that the damn soles get so ugly that is the only reason y i say the bred XI’s r better than these, because of the sole, come on though nike can cum up with something that will stop the yellowing@!!!!!!! im sure of it

  32. Posted by Mexiking at November 29, 2009 at 11:38 pm

    Fresh sneaker….so u say that the bottom part of the sneak turns yellow due to oxygen ..???? I normally wrap up my sneakers in seran ( plastic clear wrap) wrap … Jus to keep moisture and dust out… Copd da 11/12 cdp in dec n didnt wear dem til july on a cruise … Def cop for me n will no doubt get da seran wrap treatment asap….

  33. Posted by SQUEAK at November 30, 2009 at 12:02 am

    IT DON’T MATTER WHEN THEY COME OUT IMA GET THEM JUST LIKE I COPPED FLU GAME’S, T-SHIRTS, HAT, AND HOODY. SPENT OVER $350.00

    TRUEEEE BALLLA HOLLA AT ME

  34. Posted by JC at November 30, 2009 at 12:33 am

    I’m in agreement with END$,
    the ice sole is nice at first, but it turns yellow after a short period of time and makes the shoe lose its beauty and kills any chance at sustaining long-term value.
    The Space Jams that Jordan actually wore with the bloody ice sole held up better, and so those are the ones I’ll be waiting to see come back.
    Good thing people with a craving for Bred this year can still get the flu game XII’s.
    …which now that I think about it, I may have to do.

  35. Posted by stacks at November 30, 2009 at 12:42 am

    will be gettin about 3pairs of these hope the box keeps them fresh like the dmp’s. my dmps have been one of the only clear soled jays to hold up

  36. Posted by selfmade at November 30, 2009 at 1:21 am

    @JC

    That’s why you buy seaglow and un-yellow your icy soles

  37. Posted by solesaved at November 30, 2009 at 1:21 am

  43. Posted by Retrosaurus Rex82 at November 30, 2009 at 8:40 am

    those black and green 1/2 cents are a disappointment. i have the black joints and they are basically the same except for the green bottom———-easy pass but i do got 2 pair of the royals, the black on blaCK AND the silver joints that i dropped 235 on and they are everywhere for 169 now

  44. Posted by Shaun at November 30, 2009 at 11:09 am

    I copped my pair off of vmvinc.com back in August and they arrived in about mid-September. I am going to be coppin another pair when they release too.

  45. Posted by aquaman1989 at November 30, 2009 at 11:47 am

    I like the space jams, but the only thing about the padded leather is if you scratch one good time, its a done deal.

  46. Posted by kstarz at November 30, 2009 at 12:44 pm
