Highlighting the Special Gold Jordan 11 Low Sneakers

The Gold Jordans 11 are a pair of shoes that will easily catch your attention. They have a shiny gold patent leather overlay, which contrasts with the white upper and white mudguard. They're part of the vast collection of Jordan XI sneakers that are available on eBay.

A Brief History of the Jordan 11

Designer Tinker Hatfield came up with the Jordan 11s, which were originally released in 1995. There were a few things that made these shoes notable. First of all, Michael Jordan wore these shoes during the 1995-1996 NBA season. During this season, Jordan led his team to become league champions for the fourth time. He dominated the court while wearing his Jordan 11s, earning the title of league MVP and Finals MVP.

Hatfield used a few things to set the Air Jordan XI sneakers apart from others. These shoes have patent leather overlays that are laid out with a wavy pattern. This helps give the shoes a sense of motion. While there are some versions that have a monochromatic look, many of the models that you can find on eBay have contrasting colors. One example of that is the Jordan 11 Gold Low.

These shoes were first released in 2016. They retain the silhouette of the original Jordan XI, but they have a brighter appearance. The white leather upper has a metallic Gold leather overlay, and the white translucent outsole adds another interesting element. Since it's see-through, the outsole gives you a good view of a white Jumpman logo. Another small gold Jumpman logo is featured on the heel. 

Other parts of the sole are black, and there are plenty of waves and curves woven into this part of the shoe. This kind of mimics the waves of the patent leather overlay and the mudguard directly beneath it. That wave pattern is broken up by lines that extend from the overlay to around the laces. The white laces look crisp and clean, and the black shoe liner stands out. On the tongue, you'll find a branding element that has the words Jumpman Jordan. These words are spelled out in a futuristic font that you have to look at from the side in order to read them clearly.

Air Jordan 11 Retro Low Closing Ceremony

You may be able to find the Closing Ceremony version of the Jordan 11 lows on eBay. These shoes, which came out in 2016, were inspired by the Summer Olympics in Rio. It makes sense that gold was used for these Olympic-themed shoes.

Other Jordan 11 Gold Shoes

There are a few other options that have gold accents. The Jordan 11 Retro Concord, part of the Defining Moments Pack, has a gold Jumpman logo around the heel. Otherwise, it has more of a classic look with a white upper and black accents. The Jordan 11 CMFT Low, in black and metallic gold, has a mostly black color scheme. It has a bit of gold on its side and a small gold Jumpman logo on its heel.
