Well. it’s about time. As part of the Air Jordan’s 30th anniversary in 2015, Jordan Brand has announced an effort to “remaster” or re-release Air Jordans with a level of quality that meets the standards of the original releases we remember from the 80s and 90s. This announcement should come as a breath of fresh air to many longtime collectors (including myself), as many of the releases over the past decade or so have not been well received due to increasingly poor quality. According to Jordan Brand, this is a huge effort, and required the reworking of old molds, and sourcing of new materials from vendors. The initial remasted collection will include the Air Jordan 4, Air Jordan 7, and Air Jordan 10. No official release dates have been announced at this time, but here’s a look at what we can expect:
The Nike Air Huarache returns with this all-new colorway. This pair features a beautiful Turbo Green suede upper, surrounded by a watery print that creates the feeling of walking in water. A white and Turbo Green midsole help to finish things off. You can get this pair now at Finish Line.

This pair is only a sample, and it’s unknown at the moment as to whether this sneaker will actually release (same for the seamless Xs in the back). Stay tuned for more info on this sneaker.
Another head turning colorway of the Nike Air Max 180 comes our way, this time taking on a lighter tone.
