After a few “sikes” over the past year, it appears that Jordan Brand may finally bring the “Flint” Air Jordan 13 back as part of the brand’s “Truest to the OG” collection ( can we say remastered 2.0?). SInce its original 1998 release, the Flints have seen retail runs in 2005 and 2010. The 2010 was much maligned,and rightfully so, for the absence of 3M on the sidepanels. Let us hope that Jordan Brand will not pull the same shortcut chicanery on this allegedly upcoming pair. At this juncture, a…

This year, 2019, is the 30th anniversary of the Air Jordan 4 and Jordan Brand celebrated by giving classic colrways another retail run ( I meant to say what they should have done). Rather that do that, because that would be too much like right , or perhaps to save on costs with the tariff situation, Jordan Brand opted to do a mash-up of all the original colorways ( Black/Cement, White/Cement, Fire Red and Military Blue). A final note is that it includes the “Nike Air” on the rear tabs…

An old adage in entertainment and storytelling is to leave your audience wanting more. That is an axiom that Nike has not grasped. When Nike has a home run shoe on their hands, they will either outright bury it, make it nearly impossible to obtain, or they will absolutely run it into the ground. The case of the Shattered Backboard 3 is a clear-cut example of the latter. The “Shattered Backboard 3” is the third Air Jordan 1 that commemorates a young MJ breaking a backboard on a slam dunk…

People have been on pins and needles since it was confirmed that the black and red Air Jordan 11 would return in 2019. With the questions of patent rand height and 23 or 45 on the already answered, the only uncertainty was what would the packaging look like. It seems that question too has now been answered. It appears that the black and red 11 will follow the precedent set by other retro models ( I, III, IV, V, VI, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV and XVIII), including last year’s…

The Air Jordan will make an appearance in 2020, in this new Hyper Royal colorway. No images have surfaced yet, but it is known that the upcoming sneaker will make use of a white, hyper royal and black color palette.

The “Hyper Royal” Air Jordan 14 is to release in July 2020 at nike.com and select retail venues. The sticker price is set at $190 USD. Air…
