The timing couldn't be better for this weekend's release of the Air Jordan 11 Retro Low "University Blue". Hot on the (Tar)heels of UNC's NCAA basketball recent championship victory, Jordan Brand brings back this classic colorway that was formerly known as "Columbia Blue" for the first time in 16 years.
Foam fans everywhere can rejoice, as this week marks the return of the Nike Air Foamposite One "Copper" for the first time since their original release in 2010. This fan favorite colorway is based on the nickname of the man most closely associated with the shoe, Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway.
Back in stores this weekend for the first time since 1998 is the Air Jordan 13 Retro Low "Brave Blue". Originally known as "Midnight Navy" during their initial release, this favorite among hardcore Jordan lovers retains its classic look with a navy and black upper that mixes tumbled leather, nubuck and dimpled 3M relective mesh.
On April 1st, the joke is on you if you fail to cop what will most likely be Jordan Brand's biggest retro release of the entire year: the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Royal". Back for the first time since 2013, when it sold out almost instantly, the "Royal" appears for the first time in Remastered form, with specs as true to the 1985 original as possible. Like last year's "Bred" release, the "Royal" is built from contrasting premium tumbled leather and full-grain leather panels on top of a clean white midsole and royal outsole. Seeing as how this is one of the most coveted Jordan's of all time, the hype around these is as real as it gets and the demand is no joke. Take a closer look at this year's model below as captured by our staff photographer Eddie Lee.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the debut of one of Nike's most beloved classic silhouettes, the Air Foamposite Pro. Nike is celebrating by releasing several versions of Eric Avar's revolutionary design in both original colorways and all new looks, like this Air Foamposite Pro "Silver Surfer".
Following in the Fantastic Four theme of the recently released "Dr. Doom" Foamposites, the "Silver Surfer" sports a foam shell upper covered in a silver carbon fiber print with a chrome swoosh and black accenting on the tongue, eyestay and inner-lining. Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot, and a translucent rubber outsole complete the package. The Air Foamposite Pro "Silver Surfer" will be available for purchase on Friday, March 17 in-store at select City Blue locations and via email order on cityblueshop.com.
