The Air Jordan 11 IE Low "Referee" made its debut in 1996 for NBA referees. Since referees can only wear all black sneakers, it was a fashionable and perfect option.

Earlier this year, Chris Paul debuted them at a USA basketball mini camp in Las Vegas. The sneaker features a black leather and suede upper, a blacked out midsole, red and carbon fiber accents, and a tinted sole.

The Air Jordan 11 IE Low "Referee" releases Saturday, September 26th. Retail will be $170
