Jordan Brand’s retro releases have become, in many cases, more popular among consumers than the latest basketball sneakers attached to the game’s greatest active players.
Part of it is the limited edition nature of the releases, and part of it is due to resellers looking to make a quick buck. But the overwhelming reason for the thirst surrounding these shoes is their iconic nature, which is tied to the memory of Michael Jordan himself.
Jordan has unveiled its holiday lineup of retros, and they’ll undoubtedly be coveted as much as always -- especially that Jordan VII.
Check out the photos below of all of this winter’s upcoming releases.
