Top 7 Underrated Air Jordans Recent Releases
Gustave DawsonOver the past 6 months, there's been plenty of iconic Air Jordan releases such as the Air Jordan 1 Lost & Founds or Air Jordan 4 Photon Dusts. However, we're here to showcase the lesser known - but equally fire - Air Jordan releases you should know about and add to your collection. Or cop a pair for someone special...
1. Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Twist 2.0 'Medium Grey' W (2022)
Let's start off with the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Twist 2.0 'Medium Grey' W. This sneaker may not be the most popular release out there, but it certainly stands out in terms of its design and materials. You can't deny the badass vibes. The sneaker is decked out in black faux fur, wrapping around the overlays like the toe cap, eyestays, and Swoosh. And let's not forget about the Air Jordan branding and silver metallic Wings on the ankle flaps, bringing back those nostalgic feels. The "Medium Grey" base and accents add some contrast, making this sneaker truly stand out from the crowd. If you're looking for a stylish and unique sneaker that isn't too mainstream, this is the one for you.
2. Air Jordan 1 Retro Low Golf 'Midnight Navy' (2022)
Up next, we have the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low Golf 'Midnight Navy'. This sneaker is a lowkey fire that many people haven't even heard of yet. Jordan 1 Low Golfs have been released without much fanfare, but they're slowly picking up as they're something different from a typical Jordan 1 low. They're perfect for those who want a functional yet stylish sneaker for the golf course or a night out. The 'Midnight Navy' colorway is sleek and versatile, making it a must-have for any sneaker collection. The sneaker also features extra traction grip and Air cushioning for maximum comfort.
4. Air Jordan 4 'Midnight Navy' (2022)
Next, we have the Air Jordan 4 'Midnight Navy'. This sneaker is a classic design that has been updated with a fresh colorway. The 'Midnight Navy' is bold and eye-catching, making it a great choice for those who want to make a statement with their footwear. The quality of materials used in this sneaker is top-notch, ensuring that they'll last you for years to come. A fresh crisp white pair of Air Jordan 4s are undeniably a must have closet staple. While these did get a bit of hype when they released, we still believe they're criminally underrated because Australians just aren't on that Jordan 4 wave yet!
5. Jordan 4 Retro SB 'Pine Green' (2023)
Another Jordan 4 on our list is the Jordan 4 Retro SB 'Pine Greens'. We believe these are underrated because there is hype around this sneaker, but it should be in the running for one of the sneakers of the year in 2023. The 'Pine Green' colorway is a unique and bold choice, and the mix of materials used in the design make it stand out from the crowd. We love that the Jordan brand made these sneakers for Skateboarding so there are little intricacies and details of the sneaker that make it skate-ready. Just everything about this sneaker means it deserves more hype!
6. Air Jordan 3 'White Cement Re-imagined' (2023)
This sneaker is a reimagined version of the classic Air Jordan 3 design, featuring a sleek and sophisticated 'White Cement' colorway. Jordan 3s are generally underrated overall - even though they're a favourite of many OG sneakerheads. We're hoping that as sneaker culture grows in Australia, people will start to recognise how amazing the Jordan 3s are. This one in particular features a mix of leather and suede materials, as well as the iconic elephant print on the heel and toe. The sneaker is also equipped with a visible Air-Sole unit in the heel for maximum comfort and cushioning. This sneaker is a must-have for any Air Jordan fan looking for a fresh take on a classic design and to not go for the standard Jordan 4s or Jordan 1s.
7. Air Jordan 1 Mid SE 'Ice Blue' (2023)
Last but not least, we have the Air Jordan 1 Mid SE 'Ice Blue'. This sneaker has been gaining popularity amongst female sneaker enthusiasts for its clean and fresh design. The 'Ice Blue' colorway is subtle yet eye-catching, and the mix of leather and suede materials give the sneaker a premium feel. The sneaker also features the classic Air Jordan Wings logo and Nike Air branding, as well as a white midsole and blue outsole. These are underrated as Jordan 1 Mids aren't as popular as Jordan 1 Highs or Jordan 1 Lows. But we firmly believe that these are heat and should be considered for your sneaker rotation.
