Jordan Brand this week confirmed to Complex that the Air Jordan XI “Cool Grey” is not getting a retro release in 2020.

“We don’t have plans to release them at this time,” said a spokesperson via email.

Speculation about the sneaker’s possible return began last Friday, when Jayson Tatum, a Jordan Brand athlete, posted a photo of a new pair of the sneakers to his Snapchat account. The “Cool Grey” Air Jordan XI last released in December 2010, so many assumed that Tatum’s possession of a newer pair meant it was slated to arrive at retail soon.

Rather than a marker of things to come, the Jordan spokesperson says, the sneakers are specially made just for Tatum, who always wanted them growing up. His “Cool Grey” XI is notable for its use of mesh around the laces on the upper, where retail versions of the shoe have always used nubuck. Around the time of the 2010 pair’s release, leaked images from sportswear supplier Eastbay showed a similar mesh take on the shoe, but that pair never hit retail shelves.

The “Cool Grey” Jordan XI debuted in March 2001 as the first non-original colorway for Jordan’s eleventh signature sneaker. It has only returned once since then, although, a Low iteration did arrive in 2018. The colors are not connected to any team that Michael Jordan played for, but he did wear the original “Cool Grey” Jordan XI during his time with the Washington Wizards in the early 2000s.

According to longtime Nike employee Gentry Humphrey, the “Cool Grey” Jordan XI’s palette was inspired by the grey shades of the “Neon” Air Max 95. Humphrey was the footwear product director at the time of the sneaker’s original release.

As the shoe has been absent for a decade, many have guessed that it will come back eventually via Jordan Brand’s annual December Air Jordan XI release, but that doesn’t look to be the case this year. Instead, leaked images show a new black and white colorway that’s expected to drop in December.

Update – TECHNOLOGY NEWS

If U.S. President Donald Trump goes ahead with his threat to close Twitter, the micro-blogging site can always relocate to Germany.

After Trump threatened to shut down Twitter for advising its users to fact-check his tweets, a senior German official suggested in a light-hearted tweet that the California-based company would be better off in Europe.

“This is an invitation to move to Germany!” Thomas Jarzombek, Berlin’s point person for the startup economy, tweeted on Thursday.

“Here you are free to criticize the government as well as to fight fake news. We have a great startup and tech ecosystem, your company would be a perfect fit and I will open any doors for you!”

Trump is expected to order a legal review after objecting to Twitter’s handling of tweets by the president that made unsubstantiated claims about fraud in mail-in voting. In a first, the company issued an advisory on Wednesday to check the facts on Trump’s tweets.

Jarzombek’s offer contrasts with Germany’s frequently testy relationship with U.S. social media giants, which face fines of up to 50 million euros ($55 million) if they fail to quickly remove hateful content from their sites.

But Europe’s largest economy is also keen to establish itself as a hub for tech entrepreneurship and Twitter Inc would be the ultimate catch.

These upcoming Air Jordan 1 Lows should resonate with all the sneakerheads out there, considering they are dressed in the OG “Varsity Red” colorway from 1985.
