This premium release gives the Air Jordan 11 Low’s signature patent leather overlay a shimmering metallic gold finish representing Rio’s top prize. Elsewhere, the Air Jordan 11 Low’s usual mesh upper is replaced with a white tumbled leather. Black appears at the liner and woven tongue label, and this colorway is finished off with an icy translucent sole.

In other Olympic-themed sneaker news, Jordan Brand released the Air Jordan 5 “Gold Medal” last weekend, and as of 1:30 p.m. ET, they are still available from SNKRS for $190.

As for the Air Jordan 11 Low “Gold Medal” featured here, this pair will arrive on Saturday for $170 via SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers. Unlike last week’s Air Jordan 5 general release, the Air Jordan 11 Low will have limited availability, so you may want to check with your local stores to confirm they’ll be receiving the sneakers.
