A strong year for Jordan Brand shows no signs of slowing down in the month ahead.
The idea of “May flowers” will be taken quite literally with the first Air Jordan release of the month, a women’s exclusive Air Jordan 4 with Carolina Blue detailing, and new life will also come through an Air Jordan 3 joining the “Rare Air” series.
For those more drawn to the classics, the Air Jordan 4 “White Cement” will make its highly anticipated return, as will the Air Jordan 12 “Melo” originally made for Carmelo Anthony in 2004.
And with a bit of both worlds will come the Air Jordan 1 High “UNC Reimagined,” a faux-aged take on the original colorway.
Those are just some of the releases Jordan Brand has in store for next month. Below, you’ll find all the Air Jordan releases scheduled for May. Footwear News will keep you updated as any new information becomes available.
