Jordan 11 Space Jam Release Prep + Retro Resell Comparison

Well the big day is finally, almost here.  No, we aren’t talking about Taylor Swift’s 26th birthday on December 13th.  But if anyone has a plus one to her party they want to throw our way we wouldn’t be mad about it.  We’re talking about Jordan 11’s.  Specifically, the Jordan 11 Space Jam.

We’re quite certain that the only way even the most casual of sneakerheads might not know about the pending release of the Jordan 11 Space Jams is if they were stuck on Planet Moron Mountain.  Which, as everyone knows, is the home planet/amusement park of the Nerdlucks who morph into the Monstars by stealing the talents of Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues and our personal favorite, Shawn Bradley.

But we’re not here to talk about NBA alums or argue about how Bill Murray’s cameo as himself in Space Jam compares to his cameo as himself in Zombieland.  We’re here to make sure you’re stocked up on Jordan 11 sneakerhead data and ready to seize the release day this Saturday.

Here’s how the top high-top Jordan 11s stack up in terms of average resell price on StockX.

Key Insights:

  • The Grey Suede pair is set to release widely on 12/23 and we expect to see resell prices decrease.
  • Had we included Jordan 11 Lows, the Columbia Blue pair from 2001 would be third on this chart with an average resell price of $471.
  • The average price on the entire Defining Moments Pack is $1205…some people like 11s, others like 6s.
  • The average price on the entire Gift of Flight Pack is $533…not many people like 29s.

Key Insights:

  • From February through December, the Space Jam 2009 has lost 44% of its resell value.
  • Unlike the infamous grey upper around the ankle on the 2015 Jordan 8 Aqua that was meant to match the OG Aqua 8 from ’93 but left ‘heads confused, the higher cut patent leather panel on the 2016 Space Jams should endear itself to the Jordan 11 purists.
  • It’s almost guaranteed that the resell prices on OGs and previous retros will decrease when a new retro is released.

Stay tuned to that same bat-channel for our upcoming release recap of the Jordan 11 Space Jam early next week!
