The Air Jordan 11 IE Low Black/True Red releases next month, but it’s becoming increasingly likely that it will not be the OG “Bred” edition that many had been hoping for.
Instead, the more likely candidate is a nearly blacked-out edition that’s essentially a new take on the legendary Air Jordan 11 IE Low Referee PE, an ultra-limited OG colorway that was exclusively distributed to NBA refs. (And, yes, the version Chris Paul was recently spotted in.)
There are some differences certainly — the synthetic suede/nubuck mudguard, rather than a truer leather, for one — but by and large this red-accented black lowtop is pretty much the same shoe that’s been the exclusive province of NBA officials for the last couple of decades.
The Air Jordan 11 IE Low Black/True Red releases in September, most likely the shoe pictured here today. Just in case though, stay tuned for confirmation and updates.
