Considered a grail for many when it comes to Air Jordan 1 non-original colourways, the “Shattered Backboard” colourway is back ten years after they originally released in 2015. This pair pays homage to Michael Jordan shattering a backboard during a Nike exhibition basketball game in Trieste, Italy. Check out my review to see how these stack up compared to the OGs and to see how they are on feet. Anyone grabbing these when they drop on August 23rd?
Nearly a decade since they last released, Jordan Brand is finally bringing back the original “White Cement” Air Jordan 4, this Saturday! One of the debut colourways of the model back in 1989, these are retooled to be closer to the OG look. It features smooth white leather with grey, black and red hits of colour – resulting in a wearable and timeless look. Tune into my early review for a closer look!
The sequel pair to the 2018 release, Jordan Brand is back with another pair of Air Jordan 3s that pay homage to the South Korean capital – Seoul. This version opts for more cream tones, as opposed to the pure white on the OG, resulting in a more aged appearance. However, the signature red, blue and black tones remain which stay true to the home of the 1988 Olympics. Check out my review for a detailed look and review!
One of the most sought after Nike sneakers of all time is back. The Nike Air Foamposite “Galaxy” caused hysteria and chaos when they dropped back in 2012. Over a decade later, the Swoosh has brought them back for a new generation of sneakerheads. Tune into my review for an in-depth look at this retro! Big thank you to Capsule for the W on one of the best sneakers to drop this year!

Originally a PE that was unveiled in 2022, Jordan Brand brought back an alternate colourway of the Rui Hachimura x Air Jordan 1 Low, this one being an Asia exclusive. Featuring beige suede and textile overlays, the layers depict cranes and Japanese cherry blossoms, as a nod to his heritage. Check out my review and see how these are on feet!
First released in 2007, the “Black Cat” Air Jordan 3 has finally returned. This black-out colourway features a nubuck upper, shiny patent leather layers, and the signature elephant print but also turned all-black. Given the popularity of the “Black Cat” 4s, it’ll be interesting to see how these fare in today’s sneaker climate! Is anyone picking these up?
In Jordan Brand tradition, to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year, they’re releasing a special edition Air Jordan 1 Low OG.

Tune into my review for all you need to know and to see how they are on feet! Anyone going for these?
Six years since they last retroed, Jordan Brand has brought back the iconic “Black Cement” colourway of the Air Jordan 3. This original colourway from ’88 features a cut that’s more streamlined and similar to the OGs than in years past. It’s crafted using a soft black leather with elephant print and hits of red to complete the look. Check out my early review and let me know if you plan on picking up a pair this weekend!
