The Air Jordan 2011, created by Tinker Hatfield and Tom Luedecke, marked a significant milestone for the line with its introduction of the first interchangeable midsole. This innovative feature allowed wearers to choose between a blue Zoom Air unit for enhanced quickness or a red Encapsulated Air cushioning for explosive performance. In anticipation of the 2011 NBA All-Star Game, the Air Jordan 2011 'NBA All Star West' was released, boasting an eye-catching design. The shoe showcased a textured upper in Team Red and white, incorporating a mesh application on the ankle and tongue. Completing the look, a pristine white midsole seamlessly transitioned into an icy translucent outsole that provided traction on various surfaces.
