The wait is over: the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma Blue” officially returns in 2025, bringing back one of the most iconic “non-OG” AJ11 colorways ever made. First introduced in 2013, the “Gamma” became a cult classic for doing what the Jordan 11 rarely does—going full night mode in all-black, then hitting you with just enough color to make it feel futuristic, clean, and loud at the same time.

The Look: All Black, High Shine, Perfect Pops

The 2025 retro stays true to what made the original special: a black mesh upper, glossy black patent leather mudguard, and premium leather overlays around the ankle for that elevated AJ11 feel. Gamma Blue accents light up the Jumpman branding, while Varsity Maize details on the tongue and heel add contrast and a subtle nod to heritage.

What’s Updated on the 2025 Pair

Jordan Brand didn’t reinvent the wheel—they refined it. Notable updates include a higher patent leather cut and refined patent “peaks” to better match the shape and feel collectors love from the AJ11’s legacy. It’s a nostalgic look with a cleaner, more dialed-in finish.

Nike also notes the “Gamma” retro is built using the updated AJ11 construction introduced in 2016, including more refined mesh and higher-cut patterning for a sleeker feel—while keeping the original “Gamma” detailing and color blocking intact.

Why This One Matters

Whether you’ve had the 2013 pair on your “need” list for years or you’re just now discovering why people call it a modern classic, the 2025 release delivers the best of both worlds: the same stealthy energy, with shape tweaks that feel more true-to-form and built for today’s standards.
