Jordan Brand releases timeless and classic models and colorways every year. A rather recent phenomenon is people purposely dyeing their sneakers to look “aged” has made its way to the largest scale possible. Air Jordans look amazing new but something about a perfectly aged pair hits different. Natural yellowing through oxidization is inevitable on countless pairs. Jordan Brand has capitalized on the aged look with their “reimagined” collection.
A few Reimagined Air Jordans stand out more than others because of the near perfect execution by Jordan Brand.
Air Jordan 1 Chicago Reimagined Lost and Found
The Air Jordan 1 Chicago is one of the most timeless and sought after Jordans of all time. You can even argue that the original Chicagos are one of the most coveted sneakers known to man. Especially since this Jordan only re-released twice (1994 and 2015) since its inception in 1985, the Lost and Founds were already a hit before they hit the market.
Although the Air Jordan 1 Chicago Reimagined Lost and Found isn’t labeled as a retro release of the original Chicagos, they are still a unique pair that combines specs from the 1985 and 1994 pairs. Cracked leather and slightly aged midsoles paired with the timeless black and red combo makes for a special release of the Chicago 1s.
Air Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined
The “Bred” colorway is one of the most iconic color blockings in Jordan history. Any time the black and red color blocking hits a timeless model, sneakerheads everywhere will rush to get their hands on a pair.
Some sneaker enthusiasts prefer specs as close as possible to original modifications. Others appreciate any version of timeless silhouettes.
Before the Air Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined officially released, many people had split opinions on the updated design. Many weren’t feeling the leather instead of the traditional nubuck on this pair. However, countless opinions changed once pairs hit hands earlier this month. A timeless look with a new twist makes for a unique version of the Bred 4s.
Air Jordan 3 Black Cement Reimagined
One of the best sneakers of all time and one of the best Jordans ever made. This classic will never go out of style. The Air Jordan 3 Black Cement is a timeless and recognizable pair of sneakers that will always be highly respected.
Rumored to release towards the end of the year, this pair will be highly sought after for sneakerheads all over. As long as the upper material doesn’t get changed from the classic leather, this release will be eyed by many. The reimagined release of the Black Cement 3s should be even more sought after than the similar rendition of the White Cement Jordan 3s.
I still have my 2018 pair and they are COOKED. I’ll be waiting patiently for this reimagined version of the Black Cement 3s.
