May's quickly approaching which means the warmer weather is on the horizon, and that means all of those kicks you've kept tucked away during the winter are slowly working their way into your rotation.
While you've probably got a few kicks ready to be un-deadstocked in the coming months, there's still a number of releases that you want to be on the lookout for. In May alone, there are more than a handful of Air Jordans set to hit retailers- some returning classics, and some new-look colorways.
We've narrowed it down to our five best Js to look out for next month.
AIR JORDAN 5 'MIDNIGHT NAVY'
By now we are all aware of Jordan Brand's enormous plans for 2015, as they celebrate 30 years of Js. A number of classics, including the 'White/Metallic Silver' Air Jordan 5 are scheduled to return to retail after a long hiatus, as well as some new look colorway such as the 'White/Poison Green' joint.
Adding to the list of new-look Jordans which will be releasing this year is the 'Midnight Navy' Air Jordan 5 which is officially scheduled to release this Saturday, May 2nd. Built on a leather upper, a dark navy covers the entire silhouette, with Carolina blue accents handling the Jumpman and 'shark teeth.'
If you're hoping to snag a pair this weekend, the good news is nearly every Foot Locker in North America will have the kicks in stock.
Tickets will be given out for the shoe you have selected on Monday, April 27th and Tuesday, April 28th. Limit one ticket per customer. You must have a valid photo ID to receive a ticket. If your ticket number is drawn you will be notified by phone on Wednesday, April 29th or Thursday, April 30th. If your ticket number is drawn you must be at the store on Saturday, May 2nd between store opening time and 6:00 p.m. local time to purchase the shoe. You must have the ticket and show a valid photo ID that matches the name on the list in order to purchase the shoe. Any shoe not purchased by the 6:00 p.m. deadline will be forfeited.
AIR JORDAN 1 'PINNACLE'
The 'Pinnacle' Air Jordan 1 utilizes premium materials throughout the upper, highlighted by 24k gold accents on the branding and eyelets with a premium, quilted insole. Unfortunately, if you're interested in the premium 1s, the rumored retail price is $400.
Furthermore, the kicks will be releasing exclusively at Footaction's Flight 23 locations in New York and Las Vegas on May 2nd- the night of the Mayweather Pacquiao fight.
AKA- this is one pair you'll have to just admire from afar.
AIR JORDAN 7 'HARE'
As Jordan Brand continues to celebrate it's 30th anniversary this year, the Jumpman, along with Warner Bros., has officially announced plans to bring back the Hare Jordan campaign- including the classic 'Hare' Jordan 7.
Jordan and Bugs Bunny originally teamed up for this campaign back in 1992 following MJ's first NBA championship, and we can look forward to the return this Spring.
“Each is an iconic figure and legend in his own right, but together Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan are an unbeatable combination on and off the court,” said Brad Globe, President, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “We are excited to partner with Jordan Brand to reintroduce Hare Jordan to an entirely new generation of fans with this limited-edition collection that includes a mix of classic and cutting-edge styles.”
Joining the Air Jordan 1 'Hare', which will release in April, will be the 'Hare' Jordan 7, which looks to be returning in OG form. 'Nike Air' branding adorns the insole, and the kicks will come complete with a new retro card featuring Bugs Bunny on the front.
If you need these all-time classics in your rotation you can circle May 16th on your calendar.
AIR JORDAN 11 LOW 'BRED'
The Air Jordan 11 low was a favorite in 2014, with releases like the classic 'Concord' and new-look 'Infrared 23.' Recently, we learned that the 'Georgetown' Air Jordan 11 low is on the horizon for 2015, as is this 'Bred' rendition.
The kicks are very similar to their high-top counterpart, though Jordan Brand opted for a red inner lining instead of the traditional black. For now, rumors suggest that the 'Bred' 11 Lows will be releasing on May 23rd for $170 so there's plenty of time to debate whether you'll be picking up a pair this year.
What's the word on the 'Bred' 11 Lows; Cop or Not?
AIR JORDAN 1 HIGH OG 'CHICAGO'
The classic 'Chicago' Air Jordan 1 High OG which will officially be releasing on May 30th, for $160
The timeless sneakers are built on a combination of white and varsity red leather with black handling the branding and laces. A similarly styled 'KO' version of the 'Chicago' 1s arrived at retailers last year, but those fail in comparison to the real thing.
It wasn't that long ago (2013) that the 'Chicago' 1s released, but we don't think that'll deter anyone from copping these next month.
