Author’s Take

Andres Carrillo, Editor: I’m a fan of Jordan 1s, but this colorway is a little too plain for my liking. These will probably go on sale like the Yin-Yangs which means plenty of people will be picking up a pair and rocking them as beaters. I’d rather just stick with something more classic like the Breds.

Jordan Brand is set to release the Air Jordan 1 High OG Metallic Red this weekend. It’s a classic Air Jordan 1 colorway that in my opinion is very under appreciated. Although we’re unsure whether these will be an instant sell-out or not, some of you may not have to wait until Saturday to find out since Nike has given select users a chance to cop early? Want to find out if you’re one of the select few? All you have to do is login to your Nike account and see if Nike gave you early access to the shoe.

The Air Jordan 1 High OG Metallic Red is the latest retro to  arrive before it’s official release date via the Nike Early Access program. Although this has already occurred on a handful of past releases, we are still unsure how Nike decides which users get early access. If this is a must-cop in your opinion, we suggest you login and see if you chosen, that way you don’t have to wake up early on Saturday morning and stress over this latest release. Officially releasing May 6th  for $160, be sure to click and bookmark our Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Metallic Red hub page for the latest updates and full release details.

This colorway of the Air Jordan 1 High dropped in 2009, but it wasn?t true to its original form since it lacked ?Nike Air? branding. This updated 2017 version will please old-school fanatics though since it?ll be revived in its OG makeup. The upper features clean white leather with varsity red accents applied on the swooshes, wings logo, outsole and along the patent leather ankle section, followed by a white midsole unit. Nike Air branding now appears on the tongue, insole and outsole to finish off its classic design.

Look for the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG ?Metallic Red? at select Jordan Brand and Nike retailers on May 6 for a retail price tag of $160.

NPD Group’s Matt Powell released an interesting analysis of what exactly happened financially with the sneaker industry in the first quarter of 2017. The industry analyst took a quick break from shooting down hypebeasts and lifestyle publications on Twitter to paint the picture that despite overall optimistic market results, industry giants like Nike are still facing challenges in some major categories that were once its strongest like basketball, running, and training. Even though Nike Inc. sales declined in the high single-digits for the first quarter of this year, they had some of the top sellers ranging from the Air Jordan 6, the Nike Air Huarache, the Air Jordan 13, and the Air Jordan 4. The lone shoe not in Nike’s arsenal in the top 5 was the adidas Superstar. So despite the perception that Jordan retros are often left on shelves, the fact that the Jumpman is producing a higher quantity is still driving sales. Even with Nike’s seeming dominance in the best-selling category, adidas sales grew close to an incredible 85% thanks to improvements in both Running and Originals. Under Armour continues to falter though, as footwear sales declined in the double-digits.

Some other notable facts from Powell’s article include:

– The casual athletic category saw sales up 36% from the previous year
– Classics saw an 11% increase but the growth was slower than previously
– Running categories were down 5% but Powel points to weather preventing growth

I know, I know. It’s now a High and it doesn’t come with OG Nike Air branding, but still, you can’t deny that this Mid is pretty clean. Said to be releasing in the near future, get a first look at the Air Jordan 1 Mid Metallic Silver .

Coming in an all-White leather upper, the Jordan 1 Mid is contrasted by the Metallic Silver noted on the Swoosh and ankle collar.

Said to be retailing for $110, a stateside release appears to be imminent. Stay tuned.

The Air Jordan 5 Fab Five was probably the biggest sneaker news of last week. We got our first look at the shoe courtesy of DJ Khaled and now we have detailed official imagery that gives us out best look yet.

Just like you’d expect, the Air Jordan 5 Fab Five is flames! This exclusive Air Jordan 5 commemorates one of the most recognized teams in college basketball history, the Michigan Wolverines from the ’90s consisting of Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson. Opting for a bold finish, the shoe comes with a suede upper done in a clean Maize colorway. Sharp contrasted is created by the use of Black noted on the midsole and tongue. Plenty of detailing is found on the shoe such as the Maize speckling on the midsole, the embroidered tonal ?M? logo on the tongue, the phrase ?Hail To? and ?The Victors? stitched on the left and right tongues, and the custom logo created by Hatfield representing the team?s ?five times? signal that they used during games placed on the heel. Although most of us won’t be able to get our hands on a pair, a few lucky people will get gifted a pair by Tinker himself since the shoe is said to be a Friends and Family creation.

The new era of Jordan Brand joining forces with the University of Michigan is off the a hot start. Tinker Hatfield crafted this special colorway of the Air Jordan 5 Retro to honor the legendary “Fab Five” squad that dominated college hoops in the early 90s. Anyone who watched basketball during that short arc was certainly influenced by the style and swagger put forth by Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson, and Jimmy King, and with this Air Jordan 5 Retro, Jordan Brand is honoring the past while saluting the future of the Jordan x Michigan partnership.

Featured on this PE are various details that call back to Michigan’s traditions; “Hail To The Victors” is seen on the tongue labels, the Fab Five hand gestures are embroidered on the heel, the Michigan’s bold M logo replaces the Jumpman on the large tongue. This Air Jordan 5 “Fab Five” PE was issued to friends and family of the brand and will not release to the public.
