Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Year of the Dragon”
Price: $160
Release date: Wednesday, January 24th, 2024
In 2012, an exclusive ‘Year of the Dragon’ Air Jordan debuted during All-Star Weekend. Now, twelve years later, the Chinese Zodiac cycle begins anew with a vibrant “YOTD” edition of the Air Jordan 1 Low OG.
Featuring a dragon-inspired upper and a red satin swoosh, this AJ1 is adorned with a distinctive gold-stitched Air Jordan logo incorporating a dragon around the Jumpman. The complete package includes accessories such as lucky red Chinese New Year envelopes and a decorative hang tag.
Nike SB Dunk Low “Valentine’s Day”
Retail Price: $125
Release date: TBC February 2024
Like other models in the Jordan line, the Dunk has experienced a slight price hike, recently reaching $125 from its former $100 retail price. However, the demand for the SB Dunk, especially, remains strong.
The Nike SB line has a history of Valentine’s Day-themed releases. In 2020, the “Strangelove” model, still reselling for approximately $1,000 on StockX, set a precedent for subsequent releases to command a premium. The 2024 “Valentine’s Day” SB Dunk features a more masculine color palette, with burgundy and chocolate replacing the traditional pink and white, making it suitable for everyday wear.
Air Jordan 4 “Reimagined Bred”
Retail Price: $215
Release date: Saturday, February 17th 2024
Here’s one for the OG sneakerheads to appreciate. The Jordan 4, debuting in 1989, has been the canvas for iconic releases like the “Thunder” and Eminem’s “Carhartt” colorways.
In celebration of its 35th anniversary, the “Reimagined Bred” Air Jordan 4 is returning to its roots. It brings back the original Nike Swoosh and Air badges on the heel, replacing the Jumpman commonly seen on modern 4’s. The 2024 version uses modern leather instead of the original nubuck, making it the primary distinction from its 35-year-old predecessor.
Air Jordan 11 Low “Space Jam”
Retail Price: $190
Release date: Saturday, April 13th 2024
Historically, iconic Air Jordan 11 colorways like the “Space Jam” are typically reserved for year-end releases, but this reissue is set for a spring launch.
Nearly a decade has passed since the last appearance of the Space Jam colorway in December 2016, specifically in its high-top form. While those awaiting the high-top version will need to exercise patience, the low-top 11, despite not being a classic silhouette, boasts a dedicated fanbase. With its instantly recognizable colorway, this release is anticipated to swiftly sell out.
The 2024 Space Jam 11 Low will cater to all sizes, with releases in Men’s, Gradeschool, Preschool, and Toddler sizes.
Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue”
Retail Price: $215
Release date: Saturday, May 11th 2024
Initially scheduled to drop alongside the “Reimagined Bred” 4, fans of the 4 will need to exercise patience as the “Military Blue” release has been pushed back by a few months.
Diverging from the 2012 version, which showcased a Jumpman on the heel, the 2024 iteration mirrors the original, highlighting the Nike Swoosh and Air badge in its stead—following the lead of the “Reimagined Bred” release.
Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Latte”
Retail Price: $180
Release date: Wednesday, May 29th, 2024
The first appearance of a brown, white, and black Jordan was on the OG 1 High with a reversed check in 2019—a creation by Travis Scott, making it one of the most sought-after Jordans ever. Shortly after its release, resale prices soared to as high as $2000.
Following this, the 2020 “Mocha” emerged, nearly replicating the Travis Scott color scheme. The only distinction lies in the “Mocha” black toe, replacing the uniform brown of Scott’s model. In 2024, there’s a highly anticipated return of this earthy hue with a “Latte” colorway. It shares the same color arrangement as the Mocha, with the only difference being a lighter brown.
Cactus Plant Flea Market x Air Force 1 White/Black
Retail Price: $150
Release date: TBA Summer 2024
Cynthia Lu’s CPFM, a pioneer in streetwear, has delivered some of Nike’s standout collaborations in recent years. While many of CPFM’s modern interpretations, like the CPFM Nike Air Flea 2, are bold and controversial, the brand takes a more restrained approach with its version of the classic Air Force 1 low. In 2020, their creative touch was introduced through white bubbled stitching spelling out “Air” on the side of the AF1, available in solid black and white palettes.
In 2024, there will be the first-ever re-release of a Nike x CPFM collaboration featuring the Air Force 1 in both colors. Despite a recently increased retail price, this marks a second chance to secure this drop firsthand.
