The upcoming release of the Air Jordan IV ‘Thunder’ has a lot of Air Jordan collectors/fanatics thinking about the potential fluctuation in ‘value’ of some of their most prized possessions. The Thunder is one of the hardest pick-ups around, and with the original price being $500, finding a pair for anything close to that is next to impossible these days. With the looming release of the Thunders, the value of the 2006 release will likely see a minor slide downwards, so what does that mean for other rarified Air Jordans? Will we see a re-release of the original DMP Pack or the Raging Bulls (2013 is a hard-focus year for the Air Jordan V). We’d like to hear your thoughts on this controversial topic, so let us know if you a wider release of the Thunder IV is something you embrace or an idea that should not have been explored.

You’d think the decision to re-release one of the most coveted and hard-to-obtain Air Jordans would be met with approval across the board, but in the case of the Air Jordan IV ‘Thunder’, that hasn’t been entirely accurate. As some of you may already know, the online-only ‘Thunder’ was released side-by-side with the Air Jordan IV ‘Lightning’ in 2006, with each pair packaged with a piece of limited edition apparel. What makes the ‘Thunder’ such a standout is that it was released with a varsity jacket, causing the total package to retail for $500. So, what does that mean for the upcoming 2012 Retro? Will it be released as some special pack, or will it swim around the $160-175 GR/Premium range? If so, those who shelled out the necessary $500 can only help but feel a bit miffed. Regardless, expect these to sell out immediately once the November 18th release date arrives, so in the meantime, check out this new gallery and give us your thoughts on this ‘Retro of a Retro’.

According to his public bio, “Eric Lowry is the Michael Bay of the art world; he loves to blow [stuff] up.” The artist also known as El Cappy most recently applied his special effects to the immediate predecessor to his beloved AJ6, and though these might not be as novel as his unique ‘Floral’ Air Jordan V, this new design is sure to be a hit with Jordanheads who crave exclusivity. Based on 2006′s black nubuck ‘Thunder’ Air Jordan 4, Cappy’s latest Fives offer a reminder that even as he’s passed a hundred different custom AJVI projects, there’s still an entire legacy of Air Jordan silhouettes and colorways upon which to borrow. Have a closer look at these after the jump, let us know where they rank against El Cappy’s own extensive resume and the best Air Jordan customs in general, and stick with Sneaker News for the latest.
