| Air Jordan Shoes XI (11)
It’s perhaps the greatest industry-changing sneaker we’ll ever see. From a performance aspect, it introduced the world to carbon fiber as a midfoot rigidity system, and also featured a lightweight upper that relied on the once unseen patent leather for support and durability.
