This summer, Jordan Brand celebrates two essential elements of the brand’s DNA: the iconic university blue color and premium craftsmanship. Each silhouette in this series of retro releases strikes a balance of on-court heritage and off-court style for the season.
Jordan Brand will be rolling out a handful of Air Jordan Retro’s that include a few Air Jordan 13 lows, Air Jordan 1’s, Air Jordan 7’s and a premium take on the Air Jordan 5. The retro line up will roll out this summer, with a few more set to unveil down the road. Let us know if you’re feeling the summer line up in the comments section.
Air Jordan VII Retro
Originally showcased during the 2010 World Basketball Festival, the Air Jordan VII in university blue hits retail for the first time in 2017.
Air Jordan XIII Retro Low
With university blue accents on the Jumpman logos, the Air Jordan XIII Retro Low re-emerges from the vault. The shoe preserves its original detailing from 1998: reflective navy material on the upper, rich midnight black suede and leather hits.
Since his game-winning shot that brought championship glory to the University of North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball greatness. Paying homage to Jordan’s alma mater, three of the season’s silhouettes feature the iconic university blue color – a staple palette in the brand’s heritage and DNA.
Air Jordan XI Retro Low
The Air Jordan XI Retro Low releases for the first time since 2001. The defining university blue color is featured prominently on the patent leather upper, while a white midsole and translucent outsole ground the clean design.
Michael Jordan’s obsession with detail is apparent in each of his signature shoes. From the V’s original Nubuck to the patent leather on the XI, each material choice reflects a balance of performance benefit and aesthetic preference. Today, that obsession translates to a progressive approach to color and craft. This season, it’s reflected in new takes on the V and XI, a reworking of the iconic Air Jordan I and the reintroduction of the shoe that solidified the brand’s push into off-court coloring, the Air Jordan XIII Low.
Air Jordan V Retro Premium
Elevated materials and hand crafted execution continue this summer season with this Air Jordan V Premium silhouette. The shoe features a flooded pure platinum upper and woven leather accents.
Air Jordan XI Retro Low
A staple in Jordan Brand’s summertime lineup, the latest Air Jordan XI Low steps up to the plate this season by paying tribute to Michael Jordan’s baseball career and incorporating new materials on the classic silhouette. A black suede upper sits atop an iridescent, patent leather mudguard.
