Beaded designs, brown leather, and a suede midsole? Why would you show us something so beautiful if we can’t have it? As Jordan Brand prepares to end the year on a high note with nine new colorways of the Jordan 11, it’s the China-exclusive colorway that’s caught our eye the most.
Covering a canvas and suede upper with a beaded design of interconnected diamond shapes, the textured upper jumps off the shoe, and the deep brown, nearly red leather mudguard brings a decadent feel to the colorway. Silk lining in a copper-like shade is found on the interior of the sneaker. To finish it out, the midsole is coated in premium cream suede, with a gum outsole that matches the color of the heel counter.
