Product Introduction

Product Overview

The Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam (2026) (Style: CT8012-900) brings back one of the most recognizable Air Jordan 11 colorways in a classic Black, Varsity Royal, and White palette. The design combines black ballistic mesh with a glossy patent leather mudguard, complemented by a Varsity Royal Jumpman, embroidered “23” heel branding, a crisp white midsole, and a translucent outsole.

Design & Materials

The upper features black ballistic mesh surrounded by the signature glossy black patent leather mudguard that defines the Air Jordan 11 silhouette. Varsity Royal detailing provides contrast through the embroidered Jumpman, while the predominantly black upper maintains the distinctive appearance associated with the Space Jam colorway.

Signature details include embroidered “23” branding at the heel and “Jumpman Jam” lettering at the tongue. Underfoot, the sneaker combines a white Phylon midsole with full-length Air-Sole cushioning, while a translucent rubber outsole reveals herringbone traction sections and an exposed carbon-fiber support plate.

Size Recommendation

No specific size-up or size-down recommendation has been confirmed for the 2026 Air Jordan 11 Retro Space Jam. Choosing your usual Air Jordan 11 size is recommended as the safest starting point, while foot width and your preferred amount of interior room should also be considered.

• Choose your usual Air Jordan 11 size as the safest starting point.
• Consider both foot length and width when deciding between two sizes.
• Allow sufficient room through the toe area for comfortable everyday wear.
• Compare the sizing with another recent Air Jordan 11 you already own when possible.

No official model sizing information or specific size-up or size-down instruction has been confirmed for style CT8012-900, so personal foot measurements and previous experience with the Air Jordan 11 silhouette should be used as additional sizing references.
