And now, we're awaiting a number of collaborations and Retros, from Union LA's upcoming two-part effort to the return of the OG Chicago colorway. If you look at photos from that game, you can see on my face, I was completely unsure of myself. Nike brings back the cult-favorite duck camo print from the 2013 Air Max 90 Atmos as basis for a new Air Max Duck Camo Pack. The giant flaming basketball on the back of the fleece hoodie and pants is an ode to the over-the-top artwork on '90s basketball cards, lionizing the star guards whom Westbrook followed as a kid.

All of it was built around giving LeBron lockdown, so we created a shoe completely based around it, giving him this totally protected, contained force for his feet. The aforementioned red black colorway was later dubbed the Flu Game by sneaker heads; it was the color that Jordan wore during Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals on June 11th. And considering the shoe is to arrive featuring Nike Air along the heel, it's likely Off-White x Nike Blazer the Retro will garner the attention of as many old fans as it has new ones. Compared to its last appearance in 2013, this pair thankfully forgoes the Jumpman logo at the rear.

The shoe shared many similarities to its predecessor, the Air Jordan 3. It featured a visible Nike Air Max cushion, an enlarged tongue, and NIKE AIR logo on the heel, but it also introduced a netting on the upper and plastic lace eyelet wings to reduce weight. The bright, Nike Off White titular red takes the latter's place, standing atop a base rendered in both dark and light grey nubuck. Inspired by Jordan's infamous Black Cat nickname, the silhouette features a holographic jewel at the heel and outsole resembling a panther eye and paw, respectively.

The team shifted away from exposing the Zoom bags, a repeated trait from the Air Jordan XXXIV and XXXV, and enclosed them to connect a foam ribbon design through the midsole. We don't want to release these OG colorways randomly, says Donald Kelsey, Jordan Brand Product Director, Global Retro Line. Plange remembers the profound cultural shift she sensed when she moved from her home country of Ghana to Southern California at five years old. While highly popular among Jordan fans, many were displeased at the lack of NIKE AIR logo and the seemingly average Off White Nike Shoes quality marked by cracking paint on the midsole and inaccurate toe shape.

This particular release also comes attached with a special edition shoebox that sees the OG-style packaging in white and volt, while a pre-worn aesthetic is applied via the cracked leather on the collar and the faded laces - perhaps a precursor to the upcoming Reimagined Air Jordan 1s. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Visionaire is officially releasing on June 11th, 2022 for $170. Replete with his taste for the militaristic, the pair featured the usual Cactus Jack branding as well as a utilitarian cargo pocket at the ankle. With the Air Jordan 1 Low Flyease prepped for a retail release during the Summer 2022 season, Jordan Brand's decision to lead things off with such an unexpected colorway is a bit of a head-scratcher.
