During the Holiday season, Jordan Brand releases a pair of the Air Jordan 11 each year. For 2023, we have the Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” arriving at retailers.

Gratitude, another way to say “Thank You,” is what Jordan Brand is saying to all who have supported the brand over the years. What better way to do it than to use the most sought-after shoes: the Air Jordan 11. This is also Michael Jordan’s way of saying thank you to those who have followed his career and bought his signature shoes throughout the years.

To most, the colorway will look familiar. Combining White and Black automatically makes people think “Concord,” but with the addition of Gold, the “DMP,” aka “Defining Moments,” comes to mind. The “DMP” Air Jordan 11 was originally released in 2006 and came with the Air Jordan 6. The shoes also had special Gold packaging, a booklet, and dog tags. Although the 2023 pair looks similar, there are significant changes outside of the name.

The difference between the “Gratitude” and the “DMP” is using White leather on the upper instead of mesh. Also, this pair comes with lower patent leather across the mudguards and a milky translucent outsole instead of being clear. 

Colored in a luxurious theme of White, Black, and Metallic Gold. This Air Jordan 11 comes with patent leather in Black across the mudguard, with the same shade on the tongue branding and liner. Highlighting the pair, a Metallic Gold rubber Jumpman is placed on the ankle. Initially expected to be stitched since the rubber Jumpman will start peeling off after several years.

Other details include a screen-printed 23 on the heels and “Quality Basketball Product Created in Gratitude By The Greatest Player Ever” inside the tongues.

The packaging is also unique. It comes with a Black lid, White on the lower portion, and Gold detailing. However, the highlight is “Thank You” across the tissue paper in different languages.
