The Air Jordan 11 retro is one of the most-loved sneakers ever. Sole Collector magazine voted the XI the top shoe of all time. The Air Jordan 11 featured featured patent leather for the first time on a basketball shoe. The upper was constructed of a polymer–coated, thin nylon ballistic mesh material. The collar and tongue were padded for max ankle comfort. The translucent outsole lay atop a full-length carbon fiber shank plate which provided extra spring. The shoe also included a full-length Air-Sole unit for maximum cushioning.
