Air Jordan 11 Green Screen drops 14 November for Space Jam at 30
The Air Jordan 11 "Green Screen" releases on Saturday, 14 November 2026, at $255 for adults through Nike SNKRS and selected Jordan retailers. It marks 30 years of Space Jam, which opened in US cinemas on 15 November 1996.

Why green
Nike says the colour comes from the green screens that let the film place Michael Jordan inside a cartoon world. Lucky Green covers the whole shoe. Sole Retriever lists the colourway as Gym Green, Lucky Green and Orange Peel, and describes an upper of nubuck and hairy suede in place of the usual patent leather, plus a glow-in-the-dark outsole and insoles showing Jordan dunking over a Monstar, one of the film's villains. Big kids' sizes cost $200 on Nike's launch page, and the style code is IQ5700-900.
A date that moved
Early coverage, including Sneaker News in October, gave a 16 November date. Nike's own launch page and Complex's release guide now both list 14 November, the day before the film's anniversary.
The link between the shoe and the film goes back to 1996, when Jordan wore a then-unreleased black and blue Air Jordan 11 on screen. That pair became the original "Space Jam" 11 and has returned several times since, which is why this green version comes as a behind-the-scenes nod rather than another copy of the on-screen shoe.
