It’s been a quarter of a century since Tinker Hatfield laid down his initial sketches for the Air Jordan 11, which would set the standard for laceless designs. To update the footwear benchmark, Nike’s design team took the somewhat counterintuitive approach of adding its new power lacing technology while staying true to the original silhouette.
Further upping the ante, the brand’s Adapt technology is incorporated throughout, justifying its new name: the Air Jordan XI Adapt. Controlled via the Jordan-inflected Adapt app, the wearer can instantaneously customize his kicks by personalizing the color scheme and flashing pattern of the light clusters tracing the midsole. The same app also integrates with the power lacing setup so the fit can be efficiently tweaked for optimal comfort and performance.
