AIR JORDAN 13 RETRO 'FLINT'
As the change in seasons rolls through, as does the progression of Jordan Brand's release calendar. From new examples, to classic Retro's, Nike and Jordan are never short of a great offering. Favourited by many as one of the best iterations of the Air Jordan 13 Retro, this Summer, the AJ13 'Flint' finally makes its return.
First introduced back in 1998, this Retro saw a release in 2005, followed by a 2010 release. Mirroring the original however, the 2020 Flint 13's include a reflective 3M underlay that can be seen through the navy upper. Hits of Flint grey suede can be seen on the midsole, mudguard, and heel wrap, while a bright white adds contrast on the toe surround, tongue, and outsole pods. Finally, to no surprise, the Air Jordan 13 is finished off with a green holographic logo bubble.
Release Info: The 'Flint' Air Jordan 13 Raffle has now concluded.

AIR JORDAN 5 RETRO OG : FIRE RED
Three decades after its debut, the Air Jordan 5 finally returns in an OG colourway that's still built to turn heads. Originally inspired by fighter jets, the shark tooth design on the midsole features a bold splash of Chicago Fire Red while the upper of white leather meets contrasting black while the flashy silver reflective tongue features an elevated embroidered Jumpman logo.
MJ rocked this exact make-up on 28 March 1990, as an ascendant squad from Chicago battled Cleveland, eventually winning in overtime thanks to a career-high 69 points from His Airness marking another highlight victory in his storied legacy. Celebrating the Anniversary of this very occasion, the Air Jordan 5 is back.

AIR JORDAN 1 RETRO HIGH: COURT PURPLE
Since its inception in 1984, the Air Jordan 1 has been widely regarded as one of (if not) the most important silhouettes in sneaker history. The Jordan 1 High has seen countless iterations, colorways, and variants in its 35 years of production, one of the most recent being this simple yet vibrant - 'Court Purple' version.
Featuring a simple 3-tone color-blocking reminiscent to that on the original Chicago Jordan 1, this Retro's full-grain leather upper is composed of White, Black, and Court Purple. Finished off with more hits of Purple on the tongue and outsole, this well-rounded colorway has its success guaranteed, pioneered by a similar 2018 release of the same moniker.
