Air Jordan 11 Retro “Pearl” Arrives for Holiday 2025

Holiday season always means one thing for sneaker culture: the Air Jordan 11 makes its annual return. This year, the drop feels even bigger—2025 marks the 40th anniversary of Jordan Brand, and they’re pulling no punches. Alongside the comeback of the fan-favorite Gamma Blue, a women’s exclusive AJ11 is landing with a fresh twist, dubbed the “Pearl.”

This pair keeps things neutral and elegant. The upper blends sail and pearl grey, highlighted by the AJ11’s signature patent leather mudguard wrapped in a soft grey finish. Beneath it, smooth sail leather builds the base, with matching nylon loops locking in wide ribbon laces.

Details set the “Pearl” apart: silver Jordan text across the tongue, a metallic 23 stamped on the heel, and a 3D silver Jumpman shining from the collar. A detachable pearl charm on the top lace leans into the nickname, giving the shoe a jewelry-like touch. Down low, a crisp white Phylon midsole sits atop a milky semi-translucent outsole with herringbone traction pods and the classic carbon fiber shank.

The Air Jordan 11 Retro “Pearl” (W) is scheduled to release November 11, 2025 through Nike and select retailers, both online and in-store.
