About the release
Jordan Brand is paying tribute to Deloris Jordan with the Air Jordan 11 Low 'Mother's Day'. The release honours Michael Jordan's mother, whose influence helped shape him into who he became — and whose role in convincing a young MJ to take the Nike meeting is one of sneaker history's most important moments. The shoe lands as a women's exclusive ahead of Mother's Day.
The colourway runs a white ballistic mesh upper with a metallic gold patent leather mudguard — an approach that echoes the 2016 'Closing Ceremony' AJ11 Low but with a warmer, more celebratory energy. A golden "My Heart" hangtag and a special metal chain with a split heart motif come with each pair. Style code AH7860-102.
The UK release is on 19 May 2026 at 8:00 AM for £175 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers.

UK release date and price
The Air Jordan 11 Low 'Mother's Day' releases in the UK on Tuesday 19 May 2026 at 8:00 AM via Nike SNKRS and select retailers.
UK retail is £175. This is a women's exclusive with no men's sizing. The shoe launched earlier in the US ahead of American Mother's Day on 9 May — the UK date gives shoppers a second window on a release that has already generated strong attention.
Design and details
The upper is built in white ballistic mesh, clean and breathable for summer wear, with a metallic gold patent leather mudguard that gives the shoe its signature look. The gold finish carries through to the tongue branding and the "23" jersey number on the heel, while Jumpman branding adorns the midfoot and sockliner.
A full-length Nike Air unit sits within a Phylon foam midsole, and the semi-translucent sail outsole carries the same pre-aged milky white hue seen on previous AJ11 releases like the 'Gratitude'. The carbon fibre plate provides arch support underfoot, keeping the performance credentials of the AJ11 Low intact beneath the dressed-up colourway.
The thick laces and nylon lace loops complete a construction that leans into the AJ11's original design language rather than reworking it — the 'Closing Ceremony' visual reference is there in the gold patent, but this colourway has its own warmer, more personal identity.
The "My Heart" hangtag and packaging
The accessories are what separate this from a standard AJ11 Low colourway. Each pair comes with a golden "My Heart" hangtag set inside nested hearts, a metal chain with a split heart motif and a message card framing the tribute to mothers as the gold standard. The white box features gold-inspired details that carry the theme through the full unboxing. It is a gift-ready release in every sense.

Deloris Jordan: the tribute behind the release
Deloris Jordan is one of the most important figures in the history of sneaker culture, though she rarely gets the credit. When Nike was pursuing a young Michael Jordan in 1984, MJ was reluctant — he had a preference for adidas and Converse. It was Deloris who pushed him to take the meeting with Nike, a decision that led directly to the Air Jordan line, one of the most commercially significant product launches in sports history.
Beyond that moment, Deloris was central to Michael's development as both an athlete and a person, supporting him through setbacks including being cut from his high school varsity team and driving him toward the work ethic that defined his career. The 'Mother's Day' AJ11 Low is Jordan Brand using the silhouette to tell that story, rather than simply releasing a seasonal colourway.
Why this release matters
Jordan Brand has produced Mother's Day releases before, but this one carries more narrative weight than most. The gold colourway, the "My Heart" hangtag and the message card all connect back to a specific and meaningful story rather than a general seasonal theme. It is a women's exclusive, which keeps the tribute focused, and the quality of the accessories elevates it well beyond a standard commemorative release.
At £175, it also sits at a price that makes it a genuine gifting option as well as a collector piece — which is exactly what a Mother's Day release should be.
