Jordan heads are rubbing their hands at the sight of this new Air Jordan 11 "Gratitude" edition, eager to cop after a nearly two-decade wait. Excited doesn't even begin to describe the hype around this Jordan 11 "DMP Gratitude" , having not seen a re-release for over 15 years, pairs have all but dwindled, most likely beaten through the early 2010s era when Jordan 11’s were the ‘it’ silhouette. Bar a few box fresh pairs which do still exist, the 2023 retro is your best chance at owning the coveted make-up. This AJ11 "Gratitude" is expected to be limited, so you'll want to stay one step ahead of the game on this drop.
Based on the infamous “Concord” colourway, the DMP (Defining Moments Pack) celebrated the shoe that Michael Jordan wore during his fourth championship ring while also paying homage to his second three-peat era. Back in 2006, the pack included an Air Jordan 6 , which saw a retro in 2020 and was well received by fans of the silhouette. Now it’s the AJ11’s turn, combining a supple white leather with a black patent leather, a signature look that has had Jordan heads in a choke hold since the late ‘90s.
The 2023 retro edition boasts a higher cut on the patent leather, similar to the OG tooling from other recent AJ11 releases. Unique to the DMP pack is the addition of the gold Jumpman logo and 23 on the heel, representing the championship status that Jordan obtained with the 11s laced up on his feet. A phylon midsole, carbon shank plate and a semi-translucent outsole fit the exact same specs as the '06 version, featuring a full length Air unit inside that provides a spring to your step. The "Gratitude" Jordan 11 also arrives in a black and white draw box bearing gold Jumpman branding, while the inside lid fits into the theme by reading "Thank You" in the typical AJ11 font.
The Jordan 11 “Gratitude" edition will be dropping on the 9th of December 2023, so be sure to set a release reminder because you definitely do not want to get caught slipping on these. Keep it tuned in to The Sole Supplier where we can give you all the updates needed to secure your pair!
