Nike released the Air Jordan 11 Retro “Green Screen” on Saturday, Nov. 14 at 10 a.m. ET (7 a.m. PT), a $255 rerelease timed to the 30th anniversary of “Space Jam.” The shoe is available in unisex sizing on Nike.com, with big kids’ sizes starting at $200.
The connection runs back to 1996, when “Space Jam” ranked among the biggest films of the year. The animation-live action hybrid starred Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny in a winner-take-all basketball game against the Monstars, with the fate of the planet and the galaxy at stake. Jordan wore the Air Jordan 11 throughout the movie, and the silhouette has been tied to the film ever since.
A colorway built around the filmmaking process
The “Green Screen” name is a nod to how “Space Jam” was produced, with its animated characters and live-action footage combined against green-screen backdrops. The palette carries that reference directly: lucky green, orange peel and gym green.
Underneath the color story, Nike built the Retro on a blend of real and synthetic leather paired with a fabric upper for durability, set on a rubber sole. The construction adds lightweight cushioning to a silhouette that stays deliberately classic and retro in appearance.
Details tied to Jordan’s number and logo
The shoe carries several markers tied to Jordan himself. His No. 23 is tucked, or “hidden,” at the top of each heel. The “Jumpman” logo appears on the heels and on the bottoms. The eyelets, meanwhile, spell out “Jordan” running up and down each sneaker.
Buyers ordering through Nike’s membership program get free shipping on orders over $50. Shoppers without a membership need an order above $75 to qualify for free shipping. Membership itself is free for anyone with an email address, and it carries benefits beyond delivery: advice on sports and style, access to exclusive experiences, early access to new drops, special discounts and deals, and no-receipt returns.
The release lands alongside the anniversary of a film that turned a basketball star into a cartoon hero and left a signature sneaker as part of its legacy. The Air Jordan 11 Retro “Green Screen” arrives at $255 for adult unisex pairs, with the kids’ version at $200 and up.
