What’s Poppin’™

Via Nice Kicks

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have retro Jordans updated to perform to today"s standards? What if your favorite Jordan shoe that came out in 1992 could perform on the court as though it was designed with the pallet of today"s technology? Michael Jordan was the greatest that ever lived, but performance wise, many of his shoes have been out shined by the advancing technology that comes year after year.

Jordan Brand will be doing just that coming in January of next year with the introduction of the Air Jordan True Flight. This shoe clearly looks much like the Air Jordan 7 but is updated wish a flatter sole with herringbone traction for a better grip and Zoom Air for higher performance cushioning.

Some blurry catalog scans have leaked, but these shoes deserve to be seen properly for a first impression. The Air Jordan True Flight will take off January 17th for $140.

The concept of a retro Jordan with the performance of today"s has been a hope of mine for quite a few years. While the thought and concept of the Air Force 25 was solid, the marketing and execution wasn"t what I hoped to see. I applaud Jordan Brand for taking on this task while maintaining the integrity of the design of the shoe and keeping the upgrades in performance most noticeable to those putting the shoes to the test on the court. Many thanks to Opium Barcelona for giving us a preview of the Air Jordan True Flight.
