Unleash Your Air Jordan 11 'Inner Beast' - Release Date and Where to Buy

Finally, Jordan Brand is dropping a Grade School or Women's exclusive that I'm not lightweight angry about. The brand has consistently dropped takes on classic Jordan retros that have made me wish my feet were smaller. I'm good on this one, though that doesn't mean the sneaker sucks.

The grade school–only drop puts a new spin on one of the most celebrated silhouettes. The "Inner Beast" lands in October, adding a mix of black, barely volt, and dark raisin accents that give it a look aimed squarely at younger sneaker fans.

This one isn't making my personal list, but I can imagine my younger cousins favoriting this page as they plan to find a way to add it to their collections.

Here's the pertinent info.

Release Date & Info

• Name: Air Jordan 11 GS "Inner Beast"

• Colorway: Black/Barely Volt/Dark Raisin/White

• Release Date: October 4, 2025

• Price: $180

• Style Code: IB1378-001

• Sizing: Grade School Exclusive

The shoe carries over the classic Air Jordan 11 blueprint with patent leather mudguards, a translucent outsole, and lightweight cushioning which is essential when repping the iconic design. 

What sets this version apart is the sharp contrast between the glossy black base and hot pink detailing, plus subtle graphics that lean into the "Inner Beast" theme. 

It's part of Jordan Brand's ongoing push to keep GS releases feeling distinct while still honoring the legacy of the model. This is a well-designed and intentional sneaker that will make a strong addition to the AJ11 collection and its landing during a stretch when we'll be seeing other additions to the silhouette's lineup. 

I personally have my eye on the 'Rare Air ' and 'Grand Finale.'

While this may not be a style fit for a mature sneakerhead, it could be an excellent cop for a kid heading into the third month of school.
