The Air Jordan 11 has become a staple of the holidays for every sneakerhead out there.

During the second week of December every single year, Jordan Brand always releases a pair of Michael Jordan’s 11th signature shoe. It’s a classic silhouette — outside of the Jordan 1, it might be the brand’s most recognizable shoe. It’s certainly one of its most popular.

And now, it’s back in one of its most classic colorways. The Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” just released and it looks amazing.

This classic sneaker was originally part of the “Defining Moments Pack” for Jordan Brand back in 2006. It was released alongside the Air Jordan 6 and was meant to pay homage to MJ’s biggest championship moments with the Chicago Bulls.

The Jordan 6 from the DMP pack was re-released separately back in 2020, but was missing the Jordan 11. Now, the brand’s biggest fans will have the opportunity to own both sneakers again with the latest drop here.

The shoe will be widely released on Saturday, Dec. 9.

Dak Prescott blamed his ankle injury on his new Jordan Brand cleats and it’s so incredibly relatable

Dak Prescott is having sneakerhead problems and you hate to see it

Dak Prescott is going through every sneakerhead’s pain right now and I totally get it.

Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys have some lofty expectations to live up to, as always. Their preseason showing wasn’t too stellar and the injury bug has already bitten them with Tyron Smith and Sean Lee missing time.

But now they seem to have a new problem ahead of the season opener. And that problem is…Dak Prescott’s cleats. His Jordan Brand cleats, specifically.

He’s apparently having some issues with his ankle — the same one that was surgically repaired a few seasons ago.

Why? It’s the cleats. It’s got to be the cleats.

Prescott tried out a pair of Jordan 11 cleats in practice last week and, apparently, they irritated his ankle, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

“He is fine, according to him…Here’s the situation Dak rolled out for reporter’s yesterday. Generally, he plays, he practices in Jordan 1s. Last year, he played in 11s. Yesterday, he tried some 11s during practice. They were too tight on his surgically repaired ankle. It did not go well. It is the cleat’s fault.  He’s going back to 1s.” 

Man. Any sneakerhead can totally get this. Jordan 11s aren’t uncomfortable, but they aren’t exactly comfortable either. And it takes a minute to break them in.

Jordan 1s? That’s one of the most comfortable shoes you can find out there. Having it as a cleat is probably amazing. It’s no wonder Dak copped 1s for the entire Cowboys’ sideline.

Hopefully, at some point, Prescott can break those 11s in finally and have them comfy enough to wear. Until then? Stick to the 1s, buddy. You can’t go wrong.
