Michael Jordan and Nike's sneaker line has produced many great silhouettes, however, any sneakerhead can easily say that the Air Jordan 11 was one of the best products from their partnership. The swoosh label and Michael started their journey back in 1984, and they went on to become a legendary duo in the sneaker sphere.
After launching Air Jordan 1 in 1985, the second-most desired Air Jordan sneaker model was Air Jordan 11. The sneaker became incredibly popular as it marked a momentous occasion of Michael Jordan's return to the court. Michael Jordan further announced that the AJ11 was his favorite sneaker in the "Concord" colorway.
The swoosh label is now reigniting the hype of AJ11 by taking sneakerheads back in time. The latest colorway to appear over the silhouette is the retro "DMP." An official release date for the Air Jordan 11 "DMP" hasn't been announced by Nike yet, however, according to the media outlet Zsneakerheads the pair will be released via Nike, SNKRS, and select retailers in Spring 2023.

The site further mentions,
"The Air Jordan XI lent MJ's return a touch of class. Its patent leather shine spoke of aerodynamics while embodying an informal elegance. It was and instant favorite among players and it a made a blockbuster appearance in the animated classic, Space Jam."
The sneaker model takes a similar construct and color-blocking pattern as the iconic "Concord" colorway, which is still a favorite for Michael Jordan. The sneaker's upper is made of patent leather and Cordura mesh material.
The shoe's official imagery is yet to surface, however, according to early reports, the shoe will feature a golden Jumpman logo and "23" lettering on the lateral profile. The black patent leather will be placed around toe boxes towards the heel. The white nylon straps will be featured on both sneaker profiles.
