The Air Jordan 11 Retro 'Gamma Blue' was released in 2013 as a holiday release. The shoe features a mix of ballistic mesh and patent leather on the upper, with black as the primary color and Gamma Blue highlights on the lateral heel. The heel patch and lace bed add Varsity Maize to the look, while underfoot, full-length Air in the tonal phylon midsole provides cushioning. A carbon-fiber spring plate offers stability, with a translucent rubber outsole sporting herringbone pods to offer traction.
