This Saturday, April 28th is shaping up to be a substantial sneaker release date, and we can expect another celebration just seven days later as Cinco de Mayo coincides with the day of the week upon which the majority of big releases have historically hit store shelves. Each May brings us the usual Corona-colored and Mexican flag and/or blanket-inspired designs, but rarely has a design managed to reside so comfortably in the middle ground between holiday timeliness and timeless sick design. The Air Jordan XI Low in white and Varsity Red is not only a lace swap away from an eye-catching festive theme (not to mention the Christmas potential), and the best part is the theme would be temporary and represent just the first of many summertime days spent loving these kicks. Check them out up close below and stick with Sneaker News as we approach the 5/5 drop at shops like Rock City Kicks.
