  Jordan Brand   is introducing a new-ish "Metallic Gold" colorway of the ever-popular   Air Jordan 1   this summer. Ahead of its release, we have an early look at the upcoming retro. A newly leaked image from  @xcsnkr  on Instagram shows a cropped photo of the new "Metallic Gold" Air Jordan 1 High. This latest pair looks similar to the  "Melo" Jordan 1  from 2014 at a glance, but this shoe uses black leather on the upper instead of nubuck. The unreleased colorway also sports a gold hue that's shinier than the aforementioned "Melo" makeup. Michael Jordan's  namesake brand has released numerous black and gold Air Jordan 1s in the past. Most recently, there was a  patent leather pair  that dropped in November 2020. According to leaker  Sole Retriever,  this "Metallic Gold" Air Jordan 1 High will be released sometime in August for $180. Check back soon to one dope ass blogger for new developments in the coming weeks. UPDATE (07/20)

  The “Fear” Air Jordan 4, a black and white colorway that first released in 2013, will return for the first time ever next year as part of Jordan Brand’s Holiday 2024 collection, sneaker industry sources tell   one dope ass blogger. Nike did not respond to a request for comment on the upcoming retro. No images of the sneaker have leaked, and the one shown here is of  an original pair from 2013 . The “Fear” Air Jordan 4 was not immensely popular when it first released, but demand for the shoe has crept up in the last decade, and deadstock pairs now sell for around $700. The colorway was part of a three-shoe collection in 2013 loosely connected to Jordan Brand’s “Become Legendary” campaign from 2008—the quotes  on the insoles  were taken from  one of  the “Become Legendary” spots. A “Fear” Air Jordan 5 and a “Fear” Air Jordan 3 also released that year; the latter  re-released as a retro this November . In the waning days of 2023, other sneaker leaks have indicated what Jordan Brand’s se

  One of the most popular non-OG colorways of the  Air Jordan 1  is reportedly returning to retailers soon. According to early reports from  Sole Savy,  which was reshared by trusted leaker  @zSneakerheadz  on Instagram, the "Shattered Backboard" Air Jordan 1 High is coming back next year. According to the post, the rerelease coincides with the 10th anniversary of the original drop in 2015, as well as the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1 silhouette. The "Shattered Backboard" Air Jordan 1 was designed in tribute to Michael Jordan shattering a backboard while dunking during a 1985 exhibition game played in Italy. The color scheme was inspired by the uniform worn by Jordan during the game, with a graphic on the insole honoring the backboard-shattering dunk. Jordan Brand has also gone on to release multiple versions of the colorway and most recently, the style appeared as a PE for  Devin Booker's Nike Book 1.  It's worth mentioning that the pair shown above
