Air Jordan 4 “Red Thunder” CT8527-016 Will Release This Saturday
One of the most popular Air Jordan models, the Air Jordan 4 is sure to have as many exciting releases this year as it did last year. We start with the long-awaited “Red Thunder,” which was delayed several times in the second half of 2021. Better late than never; the release date is finally approaching, and it’s certainly not too early to start planning for Saturday. While not an original colorway, the pair’s reference is equally iconic, taking “Thunder” and replacing its yellow with an equally bold red. The rest of the shoe construction, consisting of black nubuck leather and matching nets, laces, etc., remains intact.
In addition to the high-profile collaboration, the Nike Air Force 1‘s 40th anniversary will feature a series of co-branded collections. That includes a roster of retro-inspired “Nike Sports Club.” In addition, the upcoming collection will include other Nike Sportswear classics such as the Air Huarache and Air Max 90. Bruce Kilgore’s 1982 low-top version has recently received a “LT Smoke Grey” and “Hyper Royal” makeover. Suede covers most of the sneaker’s upper, and the silhouette’s swoosh provides contrast in materials and color schemes. The non-standard “AF-1” branding on the heel panel features a vibrant blue hue reminiscent of retro sportswear (i.e. varsity jackets). Like previous entries, the collection’s name is printed on the top of the tongue and on the insole. Underfoot, the mainly “sail” style sole unit pays homage again to the past.
Retro Jordan 2021, The Nike Air Force 1 High Sculpt recently launched, a sleeker, strapless version of the original. And its colorway deviates from the norm, too, wearing “Ocean Cube” and “Worn Blue.” Despite their different names, the two pantones seem to be very similar when used. On the other hand, their textures more than make up for it, the lighter shades are overlaid on interesting football leathers. By contrast, its softer counterpart has a slightly tumbled finish that contrasts with the white Swooshes on the sides. The midsole and laces also feature the same neutral color, with the tongue leaning toward the retro-inspired “Sail.”
jordan shoes 2019, the Nike Air More Uptempo appears to be releasing more kid-friendly colorways than adults. It seems this trend will continue in 2022, as the silhouette adds another element to the kid’s collection. The new year is upon us, and the duo is literally a blank canvas when it comes to color. The bubble letters and the base below are off-white, while the adjacent accents – like the text’s backing, embroidered/jeweled Swoosh, and lining – are a slightly darker grey. While the midsole complements the lighter shades of the two shades, its yellowed finish is reminiscent of vintage products.
