IT’S SPRING!!! Time to talk break down the colorways that dropped in April.

This colorway of the Air Jordan 1 starts off with  a black leather upper with a buttery tumbled leather placed on the blue portions of the shoe. The blue and black leather upper is then finished off with a white midsole, royal blue outsole, and the classic Nike Air branding on the tongue. This shoe is an OG meaning this is the last time the shoe is releasing. The Royal 1 released on April Fool’s day at $160.

This shoe still looks very similar to what was released when it made its initial debut back in 1998. The upper consists of a Carolina Blue sitting on top of a Black base. Not confirmed yet but it seems as if mesh and suede/nubuck make up the construction of the shoe. White accents on the sole and branding round out the look of the shoe. This shoe released April 8th at $175.

Seen back in 2001, this version of the Columbia 11 is a remastered pair. The light blueish tone is across it’s patent leather component circling the profile, while white leather is used for the remainder of its upper and tongue. Lastly, a matching white midsole unit and translucent outsole finishes off the clean design. The 11 released April 15 at $175.

The defining tone essentially drapes its nubuck-based upper while it’s perfectly offset against a full-length white rubber sole unit. Additional details include more white accents located on the heel, tongue and Jumpman branding on its ankle section. Covered in a palette of university blue and white, this particular colorway is also suggested to be a tribute to MJ’s alma mater — University of North Carolina. These kicks released April 29th at $190.

Unfortunately there was a limited number of kicks in the month of April but they were still worth it.
