22 March 2009
With new pictures of the greatly anticipated Air Jordan Raging Bull Pack dropping nearly every day, many sneakerheads have forgotten that Jordan Brand is also set to continue releasing new colorways in their retro Air Jordan models. This new color scheme comes as a great surprise to most due to the fact that a release date, or even any information about the pair has not yet been disclosed. Love it or hate it, this Air Jordan V (5) yields a white patent leather base accented by what appears to be a navy blue midsole, black stitching, a yellow outsole, and some unique graphic designs on the inner lining and sole. As previously mentioned, no release information on this pair has been dropped yet, so stay tuned for updates.

Air Jordan 2.5 Team 5/8 – April / June Releases
16 March 2009
The Air Jordan 2.5 was released in a plethora of colorways earlier this year, and many found the sneaker to be quite attractive due to its resemblance with the Air Jordan III (3) and the Air Jordan II (2). Now, Jordan Brand is set to release the AJ 2.5 in more colorways, but these colorways will all release in a 5/8th cut rather than the typical mid cut. The upcoming releases include a white/metallic silver-court blue pair which is similar to the “True Blue” Air Jordan 3, and a black/university blue-white pair which is similar to an Air Jordan Fusion 3 (AJF3) which released last year. All six colorways, which will retail for $115, can be seen after the ‘jump’ along with the corresponding tech information.
Air Jordan True Flight – April / May Releases
16 March 2009
The Air Jordan True Flight has already been released in numerous colorways, and it seems as though Jordan Brand is set to drop two more new pairs in the upcoming months. The first pair features a white base accented by a black midsole, a black tongue, and a black ankle support, but the most interesting aspects of this pair are definitely the neon yellow accents as well as the unique splatter effect. The second pair (seen after the ‘jump’) hosts a bit more toned down colorway of a white base with black and laser blue accents. The White/Neon Yellow-Black colorway is set to drop in April 2009, whereas the White/Laser Blue-Black pair will release in May 2009. Both styles will retail for $140.
