As the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” release approaches, official retailer images have surfaced, giving fans the most accurate preview yet. Meanwhile, the Air Jordan 4 “White Thunder” is set to drop on August 24, with early looks creating major anticipation across social media.
Official Retailer Images of the Air Jordan 11 ‘Legend Blue’ Hint at Nike’s Biggest Holiday Launch of 2024
Months remain before the release of the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue,” but retailers are already preparing for what is expected to be Nike, Inc.’s biggest sneaker launch of 2024, per Sneaker News. With full family sizing confirmed, the brand is banking on the Legend Blue 11s to succeed during the holiday shopping season.
While the shoes have been extensively previewed, newly released images from certified Jordan Brand retailers offer the most accurate depiction of what to expect later this year. Although the shoe-box packaging hasn’t been unveiled, it is anticipated to feature the familiar black lid, grey box, and black tissue paper typical of other Air Jordan 11 releases during the December holiday season.
A quick history lesson: the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” was originally known as the Air Jordan 11 “Columbia.” Michael Jordan famously wore these in the 1996 NBA All-Star Game in Phoenix, the only known instance of him sporting this colorway in an NBA game. Due to the white and blue color scheme, Jordan Brand never wore them as a member of the Chicago Bulls or the Washington Wizards.
Nike, Inc. first released the Air Jordan 11 “Columbia” during the AJXI’s original run in 1996. A Retro release followed it in 2001. In 2014, Jordan Brand reintroduced them as “Legend Blue.”
The Air Jordan 4 ‘White Thunder’ Debuts on August 24, Continuing a Landmark Year for the Iconic Silhouette
The Air Jordan 4 “White Thunder” is set to release on August 24, with availability in full family sizing—adults ($215), grade school ($160), pre-school ($100), and toddler ($85). Adding to the esteemed “Thunder” collection, this pair continues a remarkable year for Michael Jordan’s fourth signature shoe as it celebrates its 35th anniversary, marking the seventh colorway to drop in 2024 alone.
The “White Thunder” inverts the color-blocking introduced with the 2006 Air Jordan 4 “Thunder,” which was retired in 2012 and 2023 and followed by the “Red Thunder” in 2022. The clean black nubuck uppers paired with an accent shade on the TPU eye stays, and beneath the iconic quarter window, create a versatile style on a silhouette that remains a staple in the Air Jordan lineup.
With early looks and in-hand images of the “White Thunder” dominating social media, this release is one of the most anticipated Jordan drops of 2024. However, the excitement doesn’t end here. The A Ma Maniere Jordan 4, Jordan 4 Orchid, and Jordan 4 “Fear” will keep fans eagerly awaiting the next significant drop.
