Jordan Brand is on quite a roll at the moment.  The Air Jordan V Toro Bravo Package is releasing early to make room for the Air Jordan XII ‘Nubucks’ and June shows no sign of letting up.  The Air Jordan V Retro pictured above is set to drop next month and we’ve seen a few different versions.  The most recent design features the ’23′ rear quarter embroidery we’ve come to expect from AJVs, along with a white sharkstooth with black splatter accents.  The earlier version had no embroidery and featured a cinder (think burgendy) midsole accent.  This pair also uses white stitching on the upper, instead of cinder for the official release joints.  As it turns out, those were pictures of a look see sample, and you can cop them in US size 9 from Marquee Sole.

While it may not receive the fanfare enjoyed by some other classic Air Max models, the Air Classic BW has been quietly making a comeback this year in both new and OG colorways. Last month we showed you a new version that used a black/white/red color scheme and now we have a look at a similar version that swaps out the white for grey to sport a slightly darker look. The shoe features a predominantly Black synthetic upper with sections of ballistic mesh and a reflective 3M strip running through the design. Additional Grey and Sport Red accents are scattered throughout, creating some bold contrast against the dark base. This Air Classic BW is available now as a JDsports exclusive, so if you’re feeling these, be aware that that’s the only place you’ll find them.

Charles Barkley’s Nike Air Max2 CB ’94 model has been a sneakerhead favorite since the mid 90′s, especially with the basketball crowd, and now the beloved kicks are returning as a Retro release. You may have already seen some alternate colorways of this shoe, like the Transformers 2 version that we showed you earlier, but as is the case with most classics, nothing ever looks quite as good as that original color scheme. These Black/White/Pure Purple beauties were a perfect match for Sir Charles’s Phoenix Suns uniform and still capture that 90′s nostalgia nicely. To their credit, the design still looks current, even when compared with many of today’s new styles. If you missed out on these when they were Retroed a few years ago, here’s your chance to make up for it. These were originally slated for a June 1st release, but select Nike retailers, such as Hangtime, have some pairs in stock already.
