Originally intended as a lifestyle version of the iconic basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 11 Low IE garnered extra significance when Nike initially created this specific colorway in 1996 for NBA referees. Fast forward to 2015, when Chris Paul brought attention to it during his attendance at a Team USA minicamp, resulting in a subsequent release for the general public. Keeping it simple, the shoe features only one branding element, an embroidered Jumpman logo adorning the tongue.
