You know that feeling when a long-lost favorite finally makes a comeback? That’s what’s happening with the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue”, or as the OGs call it, the “Columbia.” Sneakerheads, this one’s for you—pull up a chair.

This iconic sneaker first touched the hardwood in 1996 during the NBA All-Star Game. Michael Jordan didn’t just play; he owned the night, rocking the clean white-and-blue kicks while snagging MVP honors. Flash forward nearly three decades, and the hype surrounding this shoe hasn’t cooled down.

But here’s the thing: the Men’s Jordan 11 Retro has had its share of name drama. After its original release in 1996 and a retro in 2001, the shoe got a rebrand in 2014 to “Legend Blue” (apparently, “Columbia Blue” hit some trademark turbulence).

While the 2014 version didn’t quite hit the same nostalgic chord, word on the street is that the 2024 release will be as close to the OG as possible. Expect that high-cut patent leather, icy translucent outsole, and the smooth white and blue Jordans look that fans can’t get enough of.

But let’s keep it real—sneaker drops come with gossip, right? Production numbers for this one are rumored to be sky-high. So, does that mean everyone gets a pair? Maybe, maybe not. If history tells us anything, these Jordan Retro basketball shoes are going to sell out faster than you can say “Jumpman.”
