The Air Jordan 11 Retro “285” – A Southern Spin on a Global Icon

For three decades, the Air Jordan 11 has stood as one of the most celebrated silhouettes in sneaker culture, an icon of innovation, luxury, and legacy. This season, Jordan Brand honors that 30-year milestone with a regional twist that hits close to home for the South. Say hello to the Air Jordan 11 Retro “285,” a design that channels the rhythm, creativity, and street soul of Atlanta.

Part of Jordan Brand’s North America-exclusive Air Jordan 11 pack, the “285” colorway draws direct inspiration from Interstate 285 – the highway that circles the ATL and connects its many vibrant communities. The sneaker’s design mirrors that energy, transforming the familiar Jordan 11 framework into a bold tribute to the city that moves to its own beat. From the premium leather upper to the debossed route wrapping the mudguard, every detail tells a story of motion, culture, and pride.

Look closer and the artistry deepens. Inside, a multicolor sock liner and footbed nod to Atlanta’s thriving street art scene. This mix of elevated craftsmanship and local expression pushes the 11 into new territory while staying true to its heritage of boldness and self-expression.

With its mix of timeless design and regional flair, the Air Jordan 11 Retro “285” celebrates more than just a milestone; it celebrates community. Whether you’re an Atlanta native or simply drawn to the energy of the South, this pair captures the essence of movement and the meaning of home.

Need a pair? The Air Jordan 11 Retro “285” will be available on Saturday, November 22nd, in-store only in men’s and grade-school sizes.
