Thirty years after Michael Jordan and the Tune Squad first hit the big screen, the Space Jam universe is getting a fresh sneaker-culture moment. Foot Locker is joining Jordan Brand’s 30th-anniversary celebration with a wide-ranging collection of sneakers, apparel, in-store collectibles and a special New York City experience.
The collection revisits the color, characters and unforgettable moments of the 1996 classic while giving the next generation of fans new ways to connect with the film. From the Air Jordan 1 to the iconic Air Jordan 11, the lineup pulls inspiration from the Tune Squad, Lola Bunny, the Monstars and the movie’s behind-the-scenes magic.
A Space Jam lineup with something for every sneaker fan
Among the standout releases are the Air Jordan 1 Low SE “Magic Ball,” the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE “Air Bugs,” and the Lola Bunny-inspired Air Jordan 1 Low SE. The collection also reaches beyond footwear with Space Jam graphic tees, hoodies, caps and other apparel.
The Air Jordan 11 takes center stage
For longtime Jordan collectors, the Air Jordan 11 releases are likely to be the major attraction. The “Magic Ball” edition arrived November 11, while the “Green Screen” colorway is listed for November 14. The classic black-and-blue Air Jordan 11 “OG” is scheduled for December 12, bringing the silhouette back to the movie moment that helped make it legendary.
Foot Locker’s release calendar and availability can change, so sneakerheads should check the retailer’s launch information and FLX app for the latest details.
Foot Locker brings the Space Jam experience to NYC
The celebration goes beyond the shopping experience. Foot Locker says its “Tune Squad Galaxy” activation is coming to 125 West 33rd Street in New York City, running November 5 through December 12. The retailer is also promoting exclusive Space Jam collectibles at select stores, while supplies last. FLX members can earn 5,000 points on qualifying Space Jam apparel purchases through November 19, according to Foot Locker’s promotion details.
With new footwear, apparel, collectibles and a city-center activation, Foot Locker is giving fans more than a nostalgia trip. It is turning the Space Jam anniversary into a full celebration of basketball, animation and sneaker culture — a reminder that some stories never leave the game.
