Though it closely resembles that of its much-beloved predecessor, the design of the 2023 Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” features one different key detail about the original. In place of mesh, the whites of the construction are built entirely out of a tumbled leather, giving the upper a more robust, premium feel. What’s more, the outsole has been treated with a slightly yellowed finish. The rest of the shoe, however, is much more faithful to the source material, boasting a black patent leather mudguard as well as gilded branding.
