Key Details
- The 2015 Air Jordan 11 Low "Black Infrared" sample is rumored to exist in only about three pairs.
- The pair surfaced through Instagram account @heat.forya.feet.
- Infrared appears only on the sockliner and Jumpman branding, with the rest of the shoe done in black mesh and patent leather.
The Air Jordan 11 Low “Black Infrared” is a 2015 sample that never got past the prototype stage, and it just resurfaced within the sneaker community. Instagram account @heat.forya.feet shared the pair, noting the looksee sample is said to top out at only three pairs in existence.
Unreleased samples tend to be the pairs collectors chase hardest, precisely because so few ever leave the building. Jordan Brand has a habit of digging old, shelved ideas back out years later, which keeps colorways like this one from ever being fully written off. It’s a similar situation to the Air Jordan 1 Low that turned up in a Realtree sample, another pair collectors chased despite no retail plans. For now, this “Black Infrared” pair joins the running list of unreleased ideas from the wider Air Jordan line worth watching.
The Air Jordan 11 Low “Black Infrared” (Sample) Design
The design stays restrained. The upper pairs mesh panels with the patent leather the Air Jordan 11 is known for, all done in black, while a black midsole and matching outsole keep the look tonal from top to bottom. Infrared supplies the only splash of color, appearing on the sockliner and the Jumpman branding, which is also where the colorway gets its name.
How Many Pairs of the Air Jordan 11 Low “Black Infrared” Sample Exist?
The account that shared the pair says it’s a looksee sample limited to roughly three pairs, though Jordan Brand has never issued an official count.
Air Jordan 11 Low “Black Infrared” Release Information
There’s no confirmed retail release for the Air Jordan 11 Low “Black Infrared” sample, and no price or style code has ever been attached to it since it never made it past the prototype stage. Jordan Brand has brought back shelved samples for general release before, so a future drop isn’t out of the question, but nothing is currently planned or announced.
