Following the recent news of a possible Air Jordan 11 \u201c72-10″ release this holiday season, we at Snkrs Day decided to take a trip down memory lane and explore the History of Holiday Air Jordan 11 Releases.<\/p>\n

Though it was the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”<\/strong> that started off what has now become a highly anticipated annual tradition from Jordan Brand, drops like the “Playoffs”<\/strong>, “Cool Grey”,<\/strong> “Concord”<\/strong>, “Gamma Blue”<\/strong>, and last year’s “Legend Blue”<\/strong> offerings have since added to the allure of the Tinker Hatfield-designed silhouette.<\/p>\n

Although there are 10 months separating us from when the next holiday release will be unleashed upon the masses, only time will tell if the “72-10” variation will have what it takes to carry the torch and add another level to the synonymous end of the year Air Jordan 11<\/a> portfolio. Were you fortunate enough to get your hands on any of the past holiday drops? Are you looking forward to what’s to come from the AJ11 in December? Do you think retailers will do something different with the release in order to cut down on the yearly chaos? Sound off in the comments section below with your thoughts, and be sure to keep checking with Snkrs Day for more.<\/p>\n

2000<\/h2>\n Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”\n

Release Date:<\/strong> 12\/13\/2000<\/p>\n

The release that unknowingly set the precedent for Jordan Brand’s synonymous December releases, the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” definitely added some extra flair to the end of Y2K.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2001<\/h2>\n Air Jordan 11 “Playoffs”\n

Release Date:<\/strong> 12\/22\/2001<\/p>\n

Though this particular colorway may have seen the December light of day quite a few times since its inaugural debut, The Air Jordan 11 “Playoffs” was a nice follow up to its “Space Jam” counterpart.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2008<\/h2>\n Air Jordan 11 “Playoffs”\n

Release Date:<\/strong> 12\/20\/2008<\/p>\n

Paired with the Air Jordan 12, the Air Jordan 11 “Playoffs” made its presence felt yet again as a part of Jordan Brand’s Countdown Pack initiative.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2009<\/h2>\n Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”\n

Release Date:<\/strong> 12\/23\/2009<\/p>\n

Picking up where it left off in 2000, the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” ended 2009 with an updated take on the Tinker Hatfield-designed, patent leather-infused gem.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2010<\/h2>\n Air Jordan 11 “Cool Grey”\n

Release Date:<\/strong> 12\/23\/2010<\/p>\n

Welcomed with open arms and awaiting feet, the Air Jordan 11 “Cool Grey” provided a bit of contrastive flavor to the black-based monotony that dominated the last two holiday drops.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2011<\/h2>\n Air Jordan 11 “Concord”\n

Release Date:<\/strong> 12\/23\/2011<\/p>\n

A bonafide classic, the Air Jordan 11 “Concord” sent the sneaker world into a frenzy just two days before Christmas in 2011. Classy enough to rock at a wedding yet stylish enough for the street, sneakerheads lined up across the nation for these bad boys.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2012<\/h2>\n Air Jordan 11 “Playoffs”\n

Release Date:<\/strong> 12\/21\/2012<\/p>\n

Proving that the third time is truly the charm, the Air Jordan 11 “Playoffs” pulled off a fashionable hat trick by making its way back to retailers in 2012.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2013<\/h2>\n Air Jordan 11 “Gamma Blue”\n

Release Date:<\/strong> 12\/21\/2013<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2014<\/h2>\n Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue”\n

Release Date:<\/strong> 12\/20\/2014<\/p>\n

Revisiting the silhouette’s “Columbia” motif, the release of the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” was one that was certainly long overdue.<\/p>\n Air Jordan 11 “Jordan Ultimate Gift of Flight Pack”\n

Release Date:<\/strong> 12\/23\/2014<\/p>\n

Doubling up its efforts in 2014, the Air Jordan 11 also dropped alongside the Air Jordan XX9 as a part of Jordan Brand’s Ultimate Gift of Flight Pack. Dipped in legend blue from its tongue to its patent leather mudguard, this style code was a nice addition to the holiday fold.<\/p>\n
