Finally, we have a first hand look at one of the most anticipated shoes of the year. The Air Jordan XI Space Jam 2009. The perfect gift for any child, sibling or boyfriend with a passion for sneakers.

This Air Jordan is unique as always, with its slick patent leather and nylon mesh upper, white mid-soles and clear soles so icy you would've thought you were balling on ice.


The regular release of the shoe comes with the new sexy box and inserts. The newly designed box and shoe inserts were not limited to those who bought the early release of the shoe. In my opinion all it is missing is a retro card.

They resemble the AJ XI's released in 2000-2001 more than the ones released last year just based on weight. The XI's that came out in the pack seem slightly lighter, maybe it's me, but there have been complaints about recent quality with the Jordan brand franchise. Either way, these 2009 Space Jams are FIRE. Granted, everyone will have them, but 2-3 years from now when most people have beaten theirs up and the price has gone up, you are going to wish you copped a pair early....or 2,3,etc...

ICY SOLES!

The outer side of each shoe is topped off with a blue jumpman logo and a 23 stitched on the upper back of each foot. Also the overall quality seems quite promising in comparison to some of Jordan Brand's previous releases in the last year or two.

Make sure to be at your sole source for opening hours this Saturday, or pre-order these bad boys and have your size reserved before others.

***Montreal buyers only***

If sizes are sold out at Footlocker and other sources, Champs in Downtown Montreal Eaton Center has a full size run available.

Now if you are not a sneaker head or don't know what the hype is I will give you the short version. When Michael Jordan was killing it in the NBA he was also wearing a pair of sneakers that were aesthetically FRESH! That same season he made a movie that this generation should be familiar with called Space Jam. In this movie he was wearing a new colour way of these dope sneakers. Now for the sneaker heads, those few sentences have been uttered on all sneaker sites continuously for the past year, so clearly, these shoes are anticipated.
