Heat of the Week 👟🔥 The Air Jordan 11 Retro “Gamma”

Some sneakers don’t just come back — they return.
This week’s Heat of the Week is one the Kicking It community has been calling for, debating, and waiting on for years: the Air Jordan 11 “Gamma.”

If you’ve been tuned into the Kicking It Social Hour Podcast, you already know this moment has been a long time coming. For nearly two years, our producer @theshoemmelier has been on record asking @jumpman23 to bring the Gamma 11s back into rotation. And now, it finally happened. Timing, persistence, and culture all lining up at once.

Dan steps in to give a closer look at the release, breaking down why the Gamma still holds so much weight in the Jordan 11 lineage. First released in 2013, the Gamma stood out immediately for doing something different — no red, no white-heavy blocking, just a stealthy black upper with electric blue and yellow hits that gave the shoe its name. It was bold, futuristic, and quietly disruptive.

What makes the Gamma special is how it ages. The black patent leather, ballistic mesh upper, and icy sole still feel modern more than a decade later. It’s a Jordan 11 that doesn’t rely on nostalgia alone — it holds up on design, materials, and presence. Whether you’re rocking them casually or saving them as a collection piece, they command attention without needing loud colors.

This release lands Saturday, December 13th at 9AM, first come, first serve, at both Kicking It locations.
