Air Jordan 3
When Jordan Brand put the Air Jordan 3 back in the vault, many were upset but it was probably a good thing. Returning in remastered fashion, the “True Blue” bringback sees OG details that have not been privy to the public since its original launch in 1988.
Nike Air Zoom Flight 96
Garnering a 20 year wait, the Nike Air Zoom Flight 96 finally returned in the PE colorway worn by Penny Hardaway in the 1996 Olympic Games. Dropping alongside a crop of shoes that also released way back when in Atlanta, these were a highlight for hoops fans.
Nike Hyperdunk
Catapulting Kobe and the Redeem Team to a Gold Medal in ’08, the Nike Hyperdunk returned in OG makeups over the summer. The United We Rise and triple-black colorways served as highlights with bright tonal takes also exciting lovers of the breakthrough basketball model.
Nike MAG
The biggest bringback of 2016 was also the hardest to get. Launching in raffle fashion to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease research, the Nike MAG finally dropped with power lacing just like in the movie. Will we ever see a proper retail release? Only time will tell but we sure hope so.
Air Jordan 16
Sported on court by the likes of Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson, the Air Jordan 16 “Midnight Navy” marks the first OG colorway to comeback of said shoe outside of a Countdown Pack. Will this be the first of more? A host of collabs point to yes.
