First we have the Air Jordan 4 Royalty. This shoe has a timeless Black and Gold colorway. The official colorway of the Air Jordan 4 Royalty is has black, metallic gold, and white. The shoe is covered in a black suede, which is something we’ve seen on Jordan 4s in the past. What makes this pair stand out from other black suede 4s is that it comes accented by the metallic gold hits noted on the eyelets and Jumpman on the tongue and heel. A white midsole and a set of black laces round out the look of the shoe. It also comes with a leather heel tab. This shoe released on the 4th at $190.

About halfway through the month are the Air Jordan 6 All Star (Chameleon). Starting with a stealthy black leather upper which reveals an lustrous finish that shifts in colors depending on certain lighting conditions, it’s said that this shimmering element is achieved when rubbed off, which was a prominent feature that was first found on the Air Jordan 12 Wings. Additional design details include a Jumpman badge embroidery on the heels, 3M reflective accents, more iridescent accents on the lace tips and the clear translucent outsole also inheriting the iridescent detailing for a truly eye-catching finish. This shoe releases the 17th at $225.

After the All Star 6 are the Air Jordan 13 True Red. We’re talking about the Air Jordan 13 in the White/Varsity Red colorway which many people consider as one of, if not the best Air Jordan 13s of all-time. The 2017 pair will feature a white tumbled leather upper with eye popping hits of red suede on the midsole and heel. Black accents have then been added on the pods, outsole, and the branding on the tongue. The signature hologram logo by the ankle finishes things off.

Following the True Red’s are the Air Jordan 8 Alternate. White leather with perforations covers its upper, while contrasting red and black accents are scattered throughout its entirety. Finally, a graphic inner liner and “1993” on the pull tabs completes the respective design.

After the 8s are the Air Jordan 12 Low Playoff. Showcasing its initial look, the sneaker essentially stays true to its original 1997 makeup. The basketball silhouette is rendered in a simplistic color scheme of black and white across its premium leather upper, mudguard and throughout its rubber sole unit. Contrasting accents are evidenced with metallic silver eyelets, in addition to pops of varsity red gracing the tongue branding, “23” PE and heel tab.

There only two unconfirmed dates for this month. First are the Air Jordan 5 Take Flight, next are the Air Jordan 31 All Star.

The Air Jordan 5 Take Flight comes in a off-White leather upper complimented by the weave pattern on the paneling. Other features include the Flight lace lock, the the Gold colored lace tips and the Gold noted on the midsole. Below you will find a translucent outsole that has kind of an aged/yellow look to it. Embossed Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel give the shoe a clean look and feel. Pricing and release info will be announced in the near future.

The second and final shoe is the Air Jordan 31 All Star features a black Flyweave upper in a honeycomb texture with iridescent detailing on the midsole, Swoosh, and ankle area. Hornets logos can also be seen on the inner tongues which means that this Jordan 31 may have been designed with the idea that Charlotte would be hosting the 2017 All Star festivities.

That’s all for this month. Be sure to keep an eye out for this article so you can cop some kicks.
