The Air Jordan 11 Retro “Space Jam” is easily the most highly anticipated sneaker of 2009. With that said, a plethora of detailed photos continue to surface on the web week after week.

Included in these up-to-date photos are in-depth shots of the midfoot area, the outsole design, the jumpman stitching on the heel panel and the complex packaging this shoe will come in. As stated earlier in our previous “Space Jam” posts, this timeless shoe will officially hit select retailers on Novemver 27th, 2009 for $175. Click here to view more photos.

Can winter come any sooner please?

Obviously, this sneaker will retail for $175 in November, yet, if you cannot wait three months, expect to pay a little extra at Osneaker and everywhere else you find it beforehand. Are they worth the extra bills? Voice your opinion in the comment section and click here to view additional photos.

Just in case you thought that you misread the colorway up above, we did say white/orange. Although the original Air Jordan XI released in 1996, this particular sneaker was designed in 1999.  This 100% authentic, size 9 Air Jordan 11 is now available on eBay for a hefty price.

The shoes will be $175 when they release later this year, but if you want to get them early, eBay seller SUPREMExCLIENTELE is offering them with Buy It Now’s for $460…about $300 more than the sticker price.

It is probably a foolish question to ask if these are on your holiday wish list, but would you lay down an extra 3 bills for having them 3 months early?
