This weekend will be a weekend packed with heat for all basketball sneakers enthusiast. The Jordan Brand will be releasing 2 highly anticipated sneakers this Saturday, the 15th of June, and the first one being the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG – “Clover”, or more commonly known as AJ1 “Celtics”. This OG release honors the great rivalry between the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics, more notably the rivalry between MJ and Larry Bird. In a new colorway of Clover/Black/White/Gold, the pair also features a “parquet” kinda design on the clover colored upper which pays homage to the old Boston Garden’s parquet wooden floor. Being an AJ1, the first “Air Jordan” wings logo is used and the “Nike Air” logo on the tongue tag too. The AJ1 “Clover” will be a Hoops Station Exclusive release only.
First released to the world 23 years ago and only retroed once, back in 2006, which may not seem like a very long time ago, but 7 years is still a very long time to wait for a re-release of one of the most favorite AJ5 colorways. The Malaysian public have been waiting patiently for this release as it has already been released worldwide since the month of April, but the wait is worth it. Not much introduction needed for this pair, but here are some of the features of the shoe which is a smooth white leather running the base, with purple popping up on the midsole and tongue. Emerald green graces the branding, mesh marks the midfoot, and black highlights the lining and heel. This pair will be made available this weekend at selected Nike outlets and also selected retailers.
