Sorry, not the Cool Grey this time.

the best annual Air Jordan 11 Holiday

Besides getting gifts from Santa and overeating at Christmas dinner, there's no better annual tradition than the Air Jordan 11 holiday releases that drop every year during Christmas time. So far, we have seen the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam, Cool Grey, Concord, Bred, Gamma, the newest edition, Legend Blue, and much more.

That's 'cause back in 2009 the Jordan Brand officially began the Air Jordan 11 Retro holiday release tradition, which has gone on to result in the return of a number of OG colorways.

Sneakerheads were waiting for a Cool Grey comeback or a proper retro of the OG Columbia for the brand’s annual Air Jordan 11 Holiday release this year, but it appears a new take will enter the fold with a likeness to the Space Jam 11s that returned in 2016. This year's pair comes in classic Jordan 11 materials, like the black patent leather overlays featured on this release.

Since this is probably the most popular AJ design ever, here’s our look at the best Air Jordan 11s of all time.

In other holiday release news, there's a new AJ 1 dropping later this year: the 2020 Black and Gold Air Jordan 1 High in patent leather with eye-catching gold patent Swooshes. This model is heavily influenced by the brand’s first-ever patent leather Air Jordan 1, so it takes us all back in time to the black and gold mid-cut from 2003 that the new pair draws inspiration from.

The new AJ 11 colorway is expected to arrive on December 12 — which is your favorite holiday release ever? Go to our ’gram and drop your best choice.
