The The Air Jordan 11 is considered Michael Jordan’s best sneaker to ever release. The signature “Concord” colorway has caused riots on release day in the past, while the “Space Jam” Jordan 11 has transcended the basketball court and reached the big screen. The shoes continue to be a cultural phenomenon more than 30 years after their original release in 1995.

The original Air Jordan 5 “Tokyo” marked the first of such releases with the opening of the Tokyo 23 Store in 2011. Since then, the shoes have been like “Seoul” Air Jordan 3 and several Chinese New Year editions over the years. The Air Jordan 11 will have its first Japan exclusive release for what should be a highly coveted sneaker on the resale market.

Air Jordan 11 “Tokyo”

Typically, Asia-exclusive releases are marked by extra attention to detail and the use of premium materials for already limited stock. This edition will be no different as we see a balanced Light Bone/Phantom/Sail color palette used in a combination of materials such as thick suede, smooth leather, nylon and matte leather.

We see a gray suede upper panel accented with nylon lace. The tongue and back heel are made of light smooth leather to offset the darker base and stitched Jordan heel logo. The typical patent leather mudguard has been replaced with a matte gray finish, offering an even more unique look than the typical Jordan 11. The shoes are based on a white midsole and slightly yellowed transparent bottom.

Finally, the signature feature of the shoe is the GOAT stitched along the tongue in white, which references Michael Jordan and pays homage to the style of vintage jackets worn by Japanese youth.

The Air Jordan 11 “Tokyo” will release on Tokyo 23 exclusively in Japan with launches on February 23rd and 25th, 2026. The retail label is unknown as of now, but expect it to carry some extra weight in terms of price and exclusivity.
