Dressed predominantly in black, the uppers alternate between leather and mesh with “AIR” emblems and Swoosh symbols — both in white — hitting the side areas, and then again emblazoned on the visible sole unit. Additional hits of white further break up the somber palette, as can be seen on the Swoosh-debossed midsole and heel pull tabs. Price and release date still has yet to be confirmed, however, this new Nike Air Max 97 is believed to make its debut later this fall. –HB

Gone are the days where Jordan heads would have to wait years longing for the return of the iconic Nike Air logo. Jordan Brand has been listening to the masses as of late, returning old silhouettes with their true respective features and the Air Jordan 5 is next in line. The Tinker Hatfield design is inspired by World War II fighter planes as its midsole sports a teeth-like design which can be seen on the aforementioned planes. Resting atop of a visible air unit, the Air Jordan 5 is mainly recognized for its oversized tongue, which here sports reflective 3M material as per usual. –HB
