Jubilee is defined as a special anniversary of an event, especially one celebrating twenty-five or fifty years of a reign or activity. So it is fitting that Jordan Brand went with this name since this particular Air Jordan model still dominates the sneaker and the sports world.
The Air Jordan XI Jubilee presents itself almost identically to the Air Jordan XI Space Jam but with some minor distinction. The Jubilee’s accent color will be silver and the color can be seen on the translucent outsole, the Jumpman logo, the “23” on the heel tab, and the JORDAN name on the eyelets.

Jordan Brand is taking a big step into the future of sneaker technology by introducing the Air Jordan XI Adapt. It will be the first time the Jordan Brand company is introducing a product to the market with Nike’s new self-lacing technology.
The shoes’ primary color is white, very similar to the Jordan XI Columbia. The upper build of the shoe is made with a layer of mesh and the signature patent leather. The focus of the sneaker is the sole where the Adapt technology is located. With this new technology, this particular Jordan XI had to restructure its lacing system by utilizing wires and removing the traditional rope laces. The Jordan XI Adapt’s midsole is thicker than the traditional pairs due to the housing the Adapt technology. It will also make these a bit heavier as well. Another detail to be aware of is that the Jordan XI Adapt will not have a visible carbon fiber plate on the outer sole because the carbon fiber can affect the Qi’s efficiency to charge the battery and it can develop a over heating problem as well. But the carbon fiber affect can still be found by checking the bottom of the insole insert.
The Air Jordan XI Jubilee is schedule to release in a full-family sizing on December 12, 2020, $220 in adult sizes and the Jordan XI Adapt is schedule release on December 30th at a estimated price of $500.
