Better Suede Air Jordan 11: “Pinnacle” or “Jeter”

Two of the more limited versions of the Air Jordan 11 was the “Pinnacle” and “Jeter” releases.

The Air Jordan 11 Pinnacle was only available at Concepts and Kith in NYC. It came constructed in a full premium “Grey Suede” upper atop a semi-translucent outsole.
As a nod to Derek Jeter’s retirement in 2017, Jordan Brand designed an exclusive Air Jordan 11 that was limited to only 5 pairs, each were released via a scratch-off auction. They were only available at a pop-up shop nearby Yankee Stadium. Constructed in a premium “Navy Suede” upper with Jeter’s famed number “2” on the heels in White atop a semi-translucent outsole.

Air Jordan 11 Retro Pinnacle Initially released this past November 11th at KITH and CNCPTS in New York for a promotional/celebratory 11/11 theme, the sneaker is essentially a more fashionable/lifestyle-inclined variation with smooth suede covering its upper. that comes with a premium suede upper in a “Cool Grey” colorway. It looks remarkably like a similar pair that sprung up back in October, however these look lighter in color and slightly more sophisticated in comparison.
The model is stripped of the beloved patent leather upper for a deconstructed aesthetic, while squared leather laces, a leather quilted insole, a rubber midsole, a carbon fiber spring plate and a semi-translucent outsole keep the shoe feeling Jordan-like. Interestingly, the shoe also takes a minimalistic approach to branding, with little to none besides a debossed side panel Jumpman.
Distinguishable design elements consist of leather quilted insoles, debossed Jumpman logos and no traditional “23” embroidery on the heels. Finally, a crisp white midsole unit and slightly milky translucent outsole rounds out its clean, yet luxe design.
the The super exclusive Air Jordan 11 Derek Jeter that was limited to only 5 pairs and released at a pop-up shop outside of Yankee Stadium in 2017, is now turned into a Air Jordan 11 Low Derek Jeter RE2PECT version this year, and it’s releasing to the public. Basically featuring the very same theme, the sneaker features a navy blue suede upper and matching waxed laces for a premium finish. Other details include Jeter’s number 2 embroidered on the heels, along with “RE2PECT” and “2” printed on the insoles. A contrasting white midsole and milky translucent outsole finally completes the design altogether.

While 99.9% of us don’t have both pairs in our collection, if you had the opportunity to purchase one for retail, which would it be?
