The late 1980s/early 1990s was the golden era for hightop hoops shoes. But although Mike was more of a Mid-to-Low man, it hasn’t stopped the brand from paying homage to the aesthetical era on more than one occasion. The Jordan Flight 45, though been missing from retails for five-or-so years, is the brand’s tribute to the period. Though it hints at previous Js without calling out to specific retros outside of the obvious Air Jordan 3 sole, its next colorway tackles arguably the most popular rendition of the Air Jordan 11’s OG colorways. The Jordan Flight 45 “Bred” delivers a colorway that’s obviously inspired by the Eleven of the same name, with murdered-out mesh uppers, jet black patent leather toe, heel, and mudguard overlays, and a sprinkling of red accents throughout. Its sole unit captures the inspiration to perfection, with the iconic white midsole and red tread completing the pair’s design.
This Jordan Flight 45 “Bred” is but one of many expected colorways for the silhouette over the Fall/Winter, including the just-previewed and also retro-inspired “Concord” colorway, both of which are yet to receive an official release date. But with official images of the pairs arriving here today, you should expect to see a release occur in the very near future. Until such need lands, take a look at the Bred offering here below, and keep it locked on our official Twitter account for further updates.
