Jovani Hernandez 37 YEARS LATER
The Air Jordan line has been delivering performance-oriented sneakers for almost four decades. And while some non-believers have criticized Michael Jordan’s signature shoe series for “laziness” over the years, it continues being the most successful athlete-specific range of footwear ever.
Ahead of the holiday season, Team Jumpman has unveiled and confirmed 13 pairs of Jordans. Mainstays like the Air Jordan 1 have made multiple appearances in the collection, while less-heralded silhouettes like the Air Jordan 9 have delivered a refreshing take to #23’s roster. Away from the mainline propositions from the NIKE, Inc. subsidiary, Colombian superstar, J Balvin, teased another collaboration with Team Jumpman. Previewed via a modified Jumpman-“AIR” logo, the “Jose”-producing artist has ostensibly toned down the color palette for his upcoming project. Speculation surrounding the potential model suggests the canvas in question may be an Air Jordan 7 or Air Jordan 12 given that the silhouettes celebrate 30th and 25th anniversaries, respectively, in 2022. The #LatinoGang-frontman could make history again by being the first Latinx artist to help launch a new design from Jordan Brand.
VECTORS, STRIPES & “Ns”
As Reebok, adidas and New Balance head into the fourth quarter of 2021, they each unveiled new propositions that’ll surely end up on end-of-year wish-lists. The Instapump Fury got weatherized with GORE-TEX, a favorite partner around this time of year, while Salehe Bembury shared the best look yet at his first New Balance 574 collaboration. Almost entirely reimagined, the 1980s technical trainer delivers a future-forward design along the same lines of the YEEZY FOAM RUNNER “Ochre.” A$AP Rocky previewed the next proposition from the widely-criticized Prada x adidas partnership: an all-white adidas Forum Low with detachable pouches on the tongue.
For a look at all that and more, check out our top headlines from September 4th to September 10th ahead.
