It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since the original Air Jordan 12’s released in what we all know as the “playoff” colorway. Since its original release, we’ve seen several retros in both high and low models but it’s been almost 10 years since this colorway has hit shelves in any fashion and the lines are already starting to form. It’s no mystery that the Jordan models Michael wore during the height of his career are some of the most beloved editions in the series, which make the Air Jordan 12’s and especially the playoff colorway one of the most sought-after pair releasing this spring se ..read more

Jordan Brand is kicking off the new year with an Air Jordan 13 Retro dressed mainly in Black with Court Purple accents. If you’ve been following along, you know that I’m a big fan of the Air Jordan 13’s. In my opinion, they are one of the most detailed Air Jordans in the entire lineup. The whiskers, pods, and hologram eyes just set this shoe apart. Tinker Hatfield has designed a lot of great silhouettes but the 13’s are some of his best work. As I previously mentioned, this particular release features a predominately Black color scheme. The Black leather toe works back to Black reflective mesh ..read more

The long wait is finally over. After 11 (what feels like eternity) years the Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey Retros are back. Some would even say these are the release of the year and I honestly don’t disagree. They’re one of the most sought-after retros that aren’t an originally released colorway. The 11’s in general are iconic sneakers for several reasons. One, it’s the first time patent leather has ever been used and two, it’s the first shoe to use a carbon fiber shank plate which at the time helped Jordan deal with ailing foot pain. Let’s dive into more about the Cool Grey Retros which release on ..read more

Jordan Brand keeps their ears to the street. Most of their creative titles and memorable themes are inspired by MJ history and what consumers want from the brand. Long as I can remember, the Retro 9 model has always been considered the “boot” version of a Jordan. Its high-top build is bulky with a tall upper. Even the toe box has an infinite amount of sparkles that shine like sandpaper. With shoelaces that are distinctly different from the flat-handed cotton version, the release is visually groundbreaking. Following suit with the 2021 holiday lineup is a winterized iteration of the innovative ..read more
