When it comes to sneakers, does it really get more iconic than Air Jordan? If you didn't know, the answer is a resounding "no" and the proof exists in the form of the Air Jordan Element series, in which a distinguishing feature from one model is implemented over the course of another.

The Air Jordan 11Lab4 is anything but subtle with its glossy black patent leather build serving as an attention-grabber -- the inspiration behind the shoe can go all but unnoticed by the layman. The shoe is a take on the black patent leather mudguard of the Air Jordan 11 and in applying it to this model, the designers left almost no part of the shoe untouched. A lone hit of white peeks out on the rear outsole, leaving this shoe feeling like it was the victim of the 2010 BP oil spill.

You'll be able to scoop your pair on April 25 from various retailers or directly from Nike at $250 a pair. Don't move slowly in trying to get a pair though because they will sell out pretty fast.
