However, that will be the case when the "Metallic Burgundy"  Air Jordan 1 High  makes its long-awaited return early next year. Last available in 1985, the "Metallic Burgundy" Air Jordan 1 has been one of the most highly sought-after pairs among vintage Air Jordan collectors—some even stating that it's the hardest to acquire. Part of the "Metallic" Pack, the rare pair features a white leather build with contrasting metallic team red accent hits, a white midsole, and team red outsole. As of now, the “Metallic Burgundy” Air Jordan 1 High ‘85 is scheduled to drop in Spring 2024 for $200. Check back for new developments, including a first look, in the coming months.

  While there are still a few more  Air Jordan 13  releases on tap for 2023, including the  "Wolf Grey"  and  "Wheat"  colorways, it appears that the drops for the popular retro will continue next year with a rumored "Dune Red" pair. Per  Sneaker Files  and  @zSneakerheadz  on Instagram, the aforementioned "Dune Red" Air Jordan 13 will hit retailers in Summer 2024. There are no leaked images of the purported style at the time of writing, but a mock-up depiction from the leaker accounts suggests it will look similar to the  "Bin23" colorway  that dropped in August 2010, sans the premium details used on the previous pair. The "Dune Red" Air Jordan 13 is expected to don a red-based upper that's offset by a white toe box and light brown underlay panels toward the heel and midsole. The silhouette's signature hologram will appear on the ankle collar, while a white outsole completes the look. As of now, release details for th...

  Last week's  Nike SNKRS Showcase  gave fans plenty of insight into what's coming down the pipeline from the brand in 2024 and beyond. One of the drops that will undoubtedly be the most anticipated of the bunch is the return of the original "Royal" Air Foamposite One. Not only did the Swoosh confirm the reissue of the classic hoops sneaker, but the brand broke down some of the details on this upcoming retro. The 2024 version (pictured above) is the closest thing we've ever seen to the original 1997 release, as it features subtle details like the outlined mini Swoosh by the toe box as well as a black and royal blue-colored shank plate at the midfoot. It's worth noting that both aforementioned elements have been missing from previous retros and were last seen on the '97 pair. Additionally, Nike also confirmed that the popular  "Eggplant"  colorway of the sneaker is also coming back next year. At the time of writing, a formal release date for next ...

  With the Olympics rapidly approaching, the sneakers  Nike  has planned for the global games in Paris this summer continue to leak. The latest pair is this "Escargot" Nike SB Dunk Low, which was shared by  @Masterchefian  on Instagram. As the name of the colorway suggests, this vibrant colorway references the staple French dish escargot. The sneaker features a two-tone green and brown color blocking on the upper as a nod to the butter sauce and the snail's shell, respectively. There's also a silver Swoosh on the sides and a graphic stamped on the insole, both inspired by the accompanying silverware.
