Summary

The "Green Screen" 11 is the concept pair of the Space Jam anniversary set: $255, style code IQ5700-900, an all-green build, and a clapperboard-style box, with the classic Space Jam colorway still to come December 12.

Tap a passage. React to the part that matters.

The strangest pair in the Space Jam anniversary set is the one about how the movie was made. The Air Jordan 11 Retro "Green Screen" released on Saturday, November 14, 2026, through Nike SNKRS and select retailers at $255, with a Big Kids version at $200. Its style code is IQ5700-900, and its listed colors are Gym Green, Lucky Green and Orange Peel.

The concept reaches back to the set, not the screen. "Space Jam" opened November 15, 1996, and Michael Jordan filmed his scenes against full green screens so animators could place him alongside Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes. Jordan Brand's launch copy says the shoe is inspired by the green screens that brought the real world into the cartoon universe, with Lucky Green taking over the familiar silhouette.

The build swaps the silhouette's signature shine for texture. Short-cut nubuck covers the lower section and mudguard where the 11 usually wears glossy patent leather, and hairy green suede takes over the tongue and upper panels. Monstars-inspired artwork, Tune Squad and Monstars logos and Space Jam graphic insoles carry the film references, a glow-in-the-dark outsole sits underneath, and Orange Peel accents break the green. Each pair comes in a special clapperboard-style box with SJ 30th graphics.

The price needs one correction that listings have muddied all week. The adult "Green Screen" is $255, not $235. That $235 figure belongs to the women's Air Jordan 11 "Magic Ball," which opened the anniversary set on Wednesday, November 11. Parade's report, drawing on Variety's coverage, confirms the same timing and price: available Saturday, November 14, at 10 a.m. ET, $255 for the adult version and $200 for Big Kids.

The set has one pair left. The main "Space Jam" release, in the movie's own colors and closest to the pair Jordan wore on screen, is scheduled for Saturday, December 12, also reported at $255. The "Green Screen" is the concept piece between the "Magic Ball" opener and that classic closer, and concept pairs don't reliably restock, so buyers who want it at retail shouldn't count on a second drop.

One naming point trips up listings. The sneaker community quickly began calling the pair the "Monstars," after the film's villains, but Green Screen is the official name Jordan Brand confirmed. The pair also fills a slot originally reported for a "Space Jam" Galaxy colorway that was canceled before any public launch, which is how an anniversary set built on nostalgia ended up leading with a production technique instead of a scene.
