The restock will begin at 9 AM EST between 10 AM EST, which means that all of the Air Jordans will not be immediately available right at 9 AM. Furthermore, the shop guarantees that all of the confirmed restocks will be available at some point during that hour. They’re staggering the release as a means to avoid a traffic jam on their online store. For more information, check out the store’s official FAQ as well as the restock preview video below.

A Detailed Look At The Air Jordan XX3 Trophy Room

Jordan Brand and Trophy Room are reviving the Air Jordan XX3 in a big way. In conjunction with the grand opening on Monday, the Air Jordan XX3 will be released in two distinct golden styles – a white-based pair exclusive to the store, and this black-based pair that is presumed to release on Nike.com. It is currently unknown just how limited this black version is, as it doesn’t not feature the individual numbering that its counterpart does. In addition, a release date for these Trophy Room-inspired Air Jordan 23s hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official opening of the store on Monday, May 23rd.

The Air Jordan Defining Moments Package

This is how one sneaker release transformed an entire brand. The period from 2000 to 2005 was a time during which sneakerheads were given the opportunity to explore their own niche. We forged relationships with shop-owners, enjoyed the greatest sneaker collaborations in history, and resold only when we had to. All the while, the brands didn’t have much of a grasp about what was going on and frankly nobody outside of our weird foot fetish did either.

During that span, the Air Jordan Retro was just one of the many categories that operated in its own ecosystem, and it was far from being the ubiquitous retro basketball shoe it is today. Back then, some rocked SB Dunks or Air Force 1s (rarely both). Others hunted after general-release Retro runners that were often available at clearance. There were campouts for certain collaboration, but Jordans almost never garnered a massive crowd like it does so often today. 2001 will go down as the best year in Air Jordan Retro history, but nobody gave a damn then, and the enthusiasts that go wild today are either too young or too new to this.

Most of the time, we copped Jordans simply because we couldn’t have them back in the day. But if it wasn’t an original colorway, that shoe rarely mattered. There was no cultural or historical tie to why the color pink belonged on an Air Jordan VI (a Low, no less), and there never will be. In fact, that was the whole stigma against new retro colorways; there was no reason for them to exist, because Michael never wore them. There are exceptions to that rule, like the Laney 5s and the Cool Grey 11s was the subject of a segment in TLC’s “Buy-ology”, an educational program that explored purchase habits of the obsessed. Shows like that have been cancelled, of course, in favor of the garbage that’s on air today.

In 2005, not a year after Michael Jordan officially ended his playing career, word started to spread about a unicorn of a sneaker release. I remember all the comments of disbelief on NikeTalk when the news first spread, and those thoughts were justified because it just seemed to good to be true. At the time, the Air Jordan VI and Air Jordan XI were the two most popular Air Jordans – more so than the Air Jordan 1 and even the Air Jordan III. It had been half a decade since Jordan Brand put out either shoe on store shelves, so to release both as part of a package didn’t seem possible. It seemed out of Jordan Brand’s realm of concern.

As photos and release info continued to trickle through, it was quickly understood that the Defining Moments Package was more than a shoe release – it was a necessary and appropriate tribute to Michael Jordan done in a way that pushed the envelope and forced the industry to step up its collective game. It was a history lesson in shoe form and it shifted the public perception of Jordan Brand from a company hinging on old products to one that uses the past to educate the future. The challenge for Jordan Brand today is to educate the young consumer that never saw MJ play or is too busy retweeting Jordan crying memes to look up old clips.

Air Jordan 1 Low Air Jordan 1 Low 1 Air Jordan 1 Low 2 Air Jordan 1 Low 3 Air Jordan 1 Low 4 Air Jordan 1 Low 5 Air Jordan 1 Low 6 Air Jordan 1 Low 7 Air Jordan 1 Low 8

As part of its extensive Spring/Summer 2016 collection, an Air Jordan 1 Low No Swoosh has been produced, as it’s set to be offered in three inaugural colorways — black, trooper (olive) and arctic orange.

Simply aimed for the lifestyle market, the iconic silhouette is essentially revamped with a premium tumbled leather upper and lined with suede in its respective tone. As suggested, the sneaker’s distinctive aesthetic is defined by the absence of the recognizable check across its side panels in order to execute a solid minimalist approach.

All resting atop a clean white rubber sole unit, other notable details include ?Nike Air? branding on the tongue, and the iconic wings logo on the heel.

Retailing for $150 each, you can purchase your favorite pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting this Saturday, May 21st, while complementary hats will be offered as well.

Author’s Take

It gives off a designer-label sneaker vibe and I guess that is what the brand aimed to do. I?m all for simplicity and minimalism, but I?m really not that tempted yet in purchasing this style. The makeup looks solid though.

While the AJ 4 PRM Snakeskin highlights this weekend’s releases, this classic rendition of the Air Jordan 2 Low will also be offered, as the silhouette utilizes the classic colorway that was first seen on MJ back in 1994.

As noted, the model is furnished in the Bulls’ signature team colors. White is predominant across its premium leather upper, while touches of red and black located on the heel, inner lining, rubber sole unit and outlining of its side panels encapsulates the overall theme.

Additionally detailed with perforations along its toe and medial, in addition to a reptilian texture across the collar, you can purchase this silhouette at select JB and Nike stores on Saturday, May 21st for $160.

I?m not really a fan of this model in low-cut form. If it was the original build, I?ll look forward to purchasing. Either way, it?s still a classic pair that a lot of fans will consider getting.

Completing the Air Jordan 1 Low No Swoosh collection is the colorway that has Spring/Summer vibes written all over it.

This modified version of the Air Jordan 1 comes with what Jordan Brand is calling an Arctic Orange hue on the upper done in a premium tumbled leather. Tonal Nike Air branding appears on the tongue along with Wings branding on the heel tab. What stands out the most on this Air Jordan 1 is the absence of the Nike Swoosh branding on the side panels that has madd the silhouette so iconic for the past 30+ years.

Releasing on May 21st for a retail price of $150, is this Air Jordan 1 Low a cop or a drop for you?

Author’s Take

Easily the best color for the Summer. Just match these up with a solid black or white shirt and some shorts and you’ll be ready to go. Let your kicks make all the noise.
