This is truly the golden era of sneaker releases, with footwear brands focusing on imagination and storytelling on top of design to accentuate their releases. There are, of course, a number of dream situations that we’d all love to see, and some of them have come true; the On the JORDAN 14 RETRO 487471 Black Zoom CMFT Retro ’88 and the Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ are two great examples because they broadened the possibilities for both models, giving us even more reason expect stretched limits in terms of creativity. With that said, we’re starting a new “What Do You Think?” feature on Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischen News in which we ask you, our readers, for your thoughts on some interesting sneaker concepts that not only make sense, but have potential of releasing in the future.
With the Retro category being the dominant force in the sneaker game, footwear brands have done quite well when resourcefully reintroducing its most iconic and revolutionary designs. Nike’s recent ‘OG’ releases of their original Air Max models is, ironically, a fresh way to put the shoes back on the shelves, with the pre-yellowed midsoles and other aged qualities being the focus on these bringbacks. Our question to you is: What do you think of an Air Jordan Retro VNTG release? We know Jordan Brand jumped the hurdle in regards to bringing back ‘Nike Air’, but an On the JORDAN 14 RETRO 487471 Black Zoom CMFT with pre-yellowed midsoles and back-tabs or a pair of Jordan 9 Retro French Blue 2002s with the right tint on the once-icy outsole and netting might turn a few heads, and who knows how much longer Jordan Brand can re-release the same Retros again and again? Pretty much every original Air Jordan from 1 through VII could potentially be redone in this special VNTG way so check out the gallery of some OG Air Jordans that could potentially return in VNTG style and let’s get the discussion going in this installment of WDYT?.
JORDAN 14 RETRO 487471 Black – We’ve already gotten a taste of what an JORDAN 14 RETRO 487471 Black VNTG could look like thanks to the JORDAN 14 RETRO 487471 Black ‘Banned’, Air Jordan AJKO, and previous Dunk High VNTG releases. It’s a formula that’s worked, but will it work for Air Jordans II-VII? Check out these four original JORDAN 14 RETRO 487471 Blacks below.

AIR JORDAN 1 AZUL CELESTE – What if Jordan Brand decides to manufacture these VNTG 2s in Italy like it used to, and give it some darkened tones to exude some distinguished age? Take a look at two original pairs of the AIR JORDAN 1 AZUL CELESTE and let us know what you think.

On the JORDAN 14 RETRO 487471 Black Zoom CMFT – The shoe that made us think of this concept would be a hit if Nike Air was returned on all the OGs. Would you be open to yellowed back-tabs and faded elephant print, though? The cracked midsoles might be a bit much though.

junior nens jordan patch work black – Considered by many to be the greatest Air Jordan of all-time, the junior nens jordan patch work black would definitely turn all heads if it returned with Nike Air on the heel. What if it was done true OG style with yellowed netting?

Jordan 9 Retro French Blue 2002 – The first Air Jordan to feature reflective material, lace-locks, and translucent soles would be rather interesting of the reflective was a little faded, the lacelocks a little opaque, and the translucent soles a bit yellowed, no?

Jordan 9 Retro French Blue 2002I – The 2000 Retro releases were nearly identical to the OGs, which is why they were so coveted. Would you be interested in the original VIs returning with yellowed translucent soles, or do you like them clear as ice? How about if the white leather upper was completely clean and just returned with Nike Air (like the OG Sport Blue pictured below)?

Jordan 9 Retro French Blue 2002II – This model was the first to shed Nike Air as a whole and utilize the Jumpman logo as the sole representative. What would you think about some weathered and faded suede, distressed leather, and some slightly yellowed midsoles? How about the return of the OG Nike Air box?
