The Retro Releases We’re Most Thankful for in 2016

Air Jordan 4

Air Jordan 4 White/Cement

Back in 2012, the “Tech Grey” Air Jordan 4 left most OG fans unsatisfied. Not these. Launching on All-Star Weekend, the Air Jordan 4 White/Cement with Nike Air on the back dropped as an awesome homage to 1989. Restocked a plenty, this colorway still has legs in the casual game even after all its years off the court.

Nike Air Presto

Nike Air Presto Racer Blue

The Nike Air Presto had an incredibly strong 2016. While this year was more about modern revamps and classic color codes than graphic OGs, the t-shirt for your feet has proven to be just as popular if not more than it was when it first hit the market.

Air Jordan 5

Air Jordan 5 Metallic

Another re-release with OG implications, the Air Jordan 5 “Metallic” saw the first time Nike Air has returned to the shark toothed model since its retro run at the turn of the century. Whether un-DS’d straight out the box or lace swapped like MJ, this ’91 classic still turns heads.

Air Jordan 14

Air Jordan 14 Oxidized Green

After years in the vault, the Air Jordan 14 returned in “Oxidized Green” and “Indiglo” colorways for the first time ever. Remastered and incredibly reminiscent of the OGs, it’s good to see retirement era retros back on shelves.

Nike Air Zoom Spiridon

Nike Zoom Spiridon

A cult classic if there ever was one, the Nike Air Zoom Spiridon came back in OG form for the first time in years and even saw an array of updates. Easier to scoop than the last time around but still special, these were a treat for the most Ekin of retro running fans.
