You may believe that the Air Jordan 11 had always featured the number 23 on the heel of the shoe. However, the first-ever Air Jordan 11 that was ever revealed to the public featured Michael’s temporary number of 45, which he adopted after returning from retirement late in the ’94-’95 NBA season. If you recall, Michael Jordan prematurely debuted the Air Jordan 11 in the “Concord” colorway during the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals against the Magic, and in Game 4 of the series debuted a black/blue pair that we’ve come to know as the “Space Jam”. This year’s release of the Air Jordan 11 Retro “Space Jam” will in fact feature the number 45 on the heel (The 2001 and 2009 Retro releases had “23”). Stay tuned for more updates and stay tuned for the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” to release this December.

Update: The Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” releases on Saturday, December 10th, 2016 for $220.
