Jordan Brand is preparing to start 2014 on a bright note, but they are also making sure that they will end the year 2013 with a bang as they are scheduled to release shoes that are expected to make waves around the sneaker market.
After hitting strides with their "2013 Christmas Pack" that featured the new colorways of the Jordan CP3.VI, Jordan Melo M10, Jordan Super.Fly 2, and the Air Jordan XX8 SE, JB is set to make noise with two highly-anticipated retro kicks.
Now available for retail is the Air Jordan 12 Retro "Gamma Blue" that is officially listed as the Retro Black/Gym Red-Gamma Blue colorway of the shoe. Retail price is set at $170 per pair.
This retro shoe, which is expected to duplicate the success of the recently-released AJ 11 Retro "Gamma Blue" featured a black-based nubuck upper part paired with gamma blue hints from mid part to the sole of the shoe. Gym red hints appear on the tongue's Jumpman branding.
Meanwhile, the Air Jordan 5 Retro 3Lab5 is also set to get a lot of attention as it hits the market in a "Black Infrared" edition.
This edition, which is a part of the "Element Collection", features a black-based upper part decked with the iconic elephant print along with black-colored "shark teeth" and infrared accents on the midsole that sits on a translucent outsole.
The AJ 5 Retro 3Lab5 "Black Infrared" edition will be arriving at retailers on Dec. 31 with the retail price set at $225 per pair, as reported by solecollector.
Aside from two kicks mentioned above, JB is also to give their loyal fans a touch of the classic with the return of one of the most popular colorways of the first-ever Air Jordan model.
The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG will make its comeback in the well-loved Black/Varsity Red-White colorway. This edition sports a combination of black and varsity red on the upper part. One of the unique features is the application of the Nike Air branding instead of the Jumpman logo
