Air Jordan Release Dates 2014: Nike SB Air Jordan 1, Jordan Future Hit Stores on Saturday
The Jordan Brand is scheduled to release two new models this weekend, which are expected to make big strides in the sneaker market.
First up: the highly-anticipated Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 that will be released on Saturday.
The Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 is the product of the Jordan Brand and Nike Skateboarding's collaboration, which was designed by famous skateboarder Craig Stecyk, who provided his signature tribal visual style for the sneaker.
"Originally crafted as a high-performance basketball shoe for budding star Michael Jordan, the Air Jordan I inadvertently brought innovation to skate. Celebrating this unforeseen answer to the needs of skaters, Nike SB and Jordan Brand collaborate to release the Nike SB x Air Jordan I," Nike noted.
This long-awaited shoe features a black and green upper part with iridescent spray paint throughout the area along with a white midsole and icy blue outsole. Also found on the back heel is an "AJ ONE SB" inscription, which can also be seen on the insole of the sneaker.
The Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 will sell at $140 per pair in select Nike SB and Jordan Brand stores worldwide on a limited basis, according to solecollector.
To be released simultaneously with the Nike SB x Air Jordan 1 is one of Jordan Brand's newest models this year—the Jordan Future.
Aiming to "create the future by looking into the past," Nike combines the popular features of the Air Jordan 11 with a one-piece, all-black woven upper part to produce an excellent-looking off-court shoe. It also sports a carbon fiber plate along with a full-length air outsole.
"Jordan Future blends one of the brand's most iconic designs with a one-piece woven upper to create an entirely new look. The result is audacious, designed to provoke the continued evolution of the Jordan Brand's off-court lineup," Nike noted.
The Jordan Future will debut on the sneaker market on Saturday in two colorways: Black/Black-Infrared 23 and Black/Black-Glow.
Both editions, which will sell at $185 per pair, have an all-black upper part with the first one sporting an infrared outsole and the other featuring a glow-in-the-dark outsole.
