Somewhere out there in the sneakersphere, a one-of-a-kind piece of sneaker history exists: a custom Air Jordan 11 designed by Jordan Brand as a tribute to the late musical icon, Prince. Dubbed the Air Jordan 11 “Purple Rain”, this pair never actually reached the artist’s hands as he had passed on.

The shoe showcases a striking all-purple color scheme, meticulously crafted with premium materials. The mudguards are made of plush velvet, while the upper and tongue feature a soft suede construction. The translucent outsole echoes the purple hue, and a crisp white midsole provides a distinct contrast, as does the white lettering on the tongue’s center strip. A metallic silver Jumpman logo adorns the ankle.

Adding to its exclusivity and connection to Prince, the sneakers include custom insoles. These insoles display the word “Jumpman” in Prince’s distinctive font, alongside an image of falling rain—a clear homage to his legendary song, “Purple Rain”.

According to information shared by @depeche23mode, only a single pair of these Air Jordan 11 “Purple Rain” sneakers was ever created. This extremely rare item is now being offered for sale, with a remarkable price tag of US$100,000. This one-of-a-kind pair is now available to a collector willing to meet the significant asking price.
