Jordan brings back a classic release from Michael Jordan’s final playoff run with the Chicago Bulls and the Air Max 95 takes a walk on the wild side with a new “Safari” themed release. Check out everything dropping this week in our latest edition of The Drop List.
Jordan 1 Retro High Zoom Black Green

Jordan Brand added Zoom Air technology to the Jordan 1 silhouette for the first time last December and since then, the updated design has been proven to be a Jumpman favourite. We saw a second colourway release in March and now, they have done it once again with the Jordan 1 Retro High Zoom Black Green.
The Jordan 1 High Zoom Black Green is very reminiscent of the 2007 Nike SB Dunk High Brut, a shoe that also features Zoom Air cushioning. Thick green suede with smooth black leather overlays makes up the upper while a silver Swoosh ties together the range of materials. Similar to previous Jordan 1 Zooms, this release features an icy translucent outsole beneath a white midsole to complete the design.
Anticipate the Jordan 1 Zoom Black Green to arrive on the SNEAKRS app and select retailers on Saturday, June 20th for £154.95.
Jordan 4 Retro Metallic Red

The final colourway of the Jordan 4 Metallic Pack is set to arrive this week with the release of the Jordan 4 Retro Metallic Red. The Metallic Pack draws inspiration from a few of the first Air Jordan 1 colourways that debuted in 1985. Although Nike did not formally announce it, the Metallic Pack has appeared to be a regional release. North America saw a release of the Purple Metallic 4s late last month while the Asia / Australia region received the Orange and Green Metallic colourways. A release of the Metallic Red colourway has been pretty quiet for the most part, until now.
The Jordan 4 Retro Metallic Red brings back a mid-2000s feeling the way it arrives in a sophisticated, yet simple fashion. Similar to the Pure Money 4s and its counterparts in the Metallic Pack, the Red Metallic 4 features a triple white leather upper with red metallic eyelets and traditional white netted underlays. A white sole and heel tab with red Jumpman detailing complete the design, gearing these Jordan 4s for any outfit.
Expect the Jordan 4 Retro Metallic Red to arrive on SNEAKRS and select stockists this Saturday, June 20th for £164.95.
Jordan 13 Retro Flint
For the first time in ten years, Jordan Brand is bringing back the Jordan 13 Retro Flint.
The Flint colourway originally released in the spring of 1998 ahead of Michael Jordan’s final playoff run with the Chicago Bulls. As part of a wider “Truest to the OG” collection, Jumpman has restored the Flint 13 to its original form in its third time seeing a retro.
The Jordan 13 Retro Flint features a navy mesh upper with white tumbled leather and grey suede underlays. Reflective 3M detailing on the upper, French Blue Jumpman branding on the tongue, and a branded hologram on the side ankle marks the finishing touches on this revived OG.
Cop the Jordan 13 Retro Flint at select Nike retailers for a retail price of £164.99.
Nike Air Max 95 Era “Safari”

This Air Max 95 goes wild on Air Max heritage, celebrating the silhouette’s mid-90s roots and its history with animal prints.
The latest in a mini resurgence for “Safari” inspired releases, this Air Max 95’s instantly recognisable upper is primarily built around a Sail, New Green and Forest Green colourway, with zebra print, leather and rough suede panelling adding some modern touches and additional textures to the design.
Other features nod to little pieces of ’90s culture, with sitcom references in the fonts and old technology references on the outsole. You might also recognise style references to backpacks that were popular during the decade that Air Max came into its own.
The Nike Air Max 95 Era Safari releases June 18th on the Nike SNEAKRS at select retailers for £159.95.
