Jordan Brand and Nike are continuing their transparent streak, as the former has previewed its entire retro slate for the summer (collaborations not included).
Perhaps the most interesting bit of information to arise wasn’t an unexpected sneaker but a surprise name change. The highly anticipated return of the Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue,” one of the model’s original colorways from 1989, will now bear the name “Industrial Blue.” Jordan Brand, it would seem, decided it didn’t want any possible negative associations that could come from the old moniker.
The model’s big 25th-anniversary year will also include an all-new Air Jordan 4 “Oxidized Green,” while the Air Jordan 11 Low “Space Jam” is among the bigger returning sneakers. A trio of surprise early releases also coincided with the announcement, as the Air Jordan 1 High “Green Glow,” Air Jordan 1 High “Artisanal Red” and Air Jordan 1 Low “Shadow” and were all put up for sale ahead of their wider launches.
