2011 so far has brought some great releases from Jordan Brand. From the White Cement IIIs making a return to the semi-new Year of the Rabbit Jordan VIIs, there was enough Air Jordans to keep enthusiasts happy for the first half of the year. Jordan Brand plans to finish up strong and at The Hoop Doctors we bring you 6 Js to look out for during these remaining months.
6 months left; 6 great Jordans worth picking up.
Air Jordan V “Black Metallic”
The last time these hit stores was back in 2007 and was quickly snatched up leaving many empty handed. Almost identical to the versions before it, this time around this release features the tinted blue icey sole Jordan Brand has been using as of late which is suppose to greatly reduce the yellowing of translucent bottoms.
Air Jordan XIV “Light Graphite-Midnight Navy/Black”
The Don’t confuse these with another pair of Jordan XIVs that has the same base color, this pair features Midnight Navy accents instead of Chartreuse like the ones from back in 2005.
Air Jordan V “Quai 54”
Just because this years’ Quai 54 tournament over in France is all said and done doesn’t mean that you wont be hearing the name anytime soon. Every year two Jordans are specially made for this tournament; one Retro and one new silhouette and this years’ retro is arguably the most anticipated.
Air Jordan III “Stealth”
Unlike the Black Cements III which are also slated to release this year, this ‘Stealth’ pair is not an original colorway. The simple colorblocking on this shoe ensures that these will sell fairly well.
Air Jordan XIII PE “3-Point Record”
This release commemorates longtime Team Jordan member Ray Allen breaking the NBA’s All-Time 3-point record back in February of this past season. Many Jordan collectors are salivating at this once-in-a-lifetime chance to purchase a pair of Jesus Shuttleworth’s PEs.
Air Jordan XI “Concord”
For the last 3 years, December has always meant that a pair of Jordan XIs would hit store shelves, and this year is no different. Even though official pictures haven’t yet surfaced, many believe that this release will bear the number 45 on the back instead of the 23 that the previous releases did. As with any Jordan XI release expect to either call in favors, long lines, or monster resell prices
