Spoiler alert -  it didn't disappoint.

Built to honour key moments from MJ's career, the collection is set to commemorate history, while emptying our wallets. Here's a full breakdown of Jordan's Spring Retro '22 collection, so far!

Jordan 12 Retro Play Off - February 19th, 2022

Worn throughout the 1997 NBA Playoffs, the Jordan 12 is considered to be one of the last great models of MJ's signature sneaker line. Dressed in lizard-skin mudguards, with a tumbled leather underlay, the sneaker features Varsity Red branding. Shimmering metallic eyelets and a grey Jumpman emblem complete the design.

Jordan 1 High OG Dark Marina Blue - January 22, 2022

Comparable to the OG Royal variant, the Jordan 1 High Dark Marina Blue is tri-toned and dressed in an all-leather upper. Opting for a deep black accent on the base, padded collars and Wings motif, the sneaker's titular shade provides a contrast across the overlaying counterparts.

Jordan 3 Retro Cardinal Red - February 24th, 2022

Resembling the Jordan 7 Cardinal, the Jordan 3 Retro Cardinal Red features a white leather upper with splashes of colour.

Jordan 4 Canvas/Cement Grey - February 24th, 2022

Following 2021's Jordan 4 Shimmer, the Jordan 4 Canvas/Cement Grey is another women's exclusive pale mock-up. Entirely wrapped in undyed and untreated canvas, the sneaker is natural in both look and feel. Only the eyelets and forward midsoles are given a different finish, while a slight pop of red can be seen on the undersole.

Jordan 4 Amethyst Wave - March 19th, 2022

Otherwise called 'Zen Master', Jordan 4 brought out their crystal ball for the Amethyst Wave rendition of the famed silhouette. The sneaker features a pink and purple ombre upper, with translucent wings and heel taba. Black netting has been chosen for the quarter panel and forefoot, while the midsole is stacked in black and white.

Like the Jordan 4 Retro Green Glow, the Jordan 4 Retro Infrared features a full nubuck upper in various shades of grey. With black accents, a white midsole unit and infrared detailing on the Jumpman branding and eyelets, it's simplistic - yet tried and tested - in design.

Jordan 5 Low Arctic Orange - February 11th, 2022

The shark teeth are back in Jordan's 2022 Spring lineup. Coated in smooth leather, the Jordan 5 Low Arctic Orange is dressed in a soft pink hue. Bright coral contrasts the toe tip of the outsole, the shiny midsole, tongue and collar lining, while icy blue adorns the outsole. In red, an oversized Jumpman features on the black tongue.

Jordan 5 Black/Racer Blue - February 28th, 2022

In similar style to the classic 1990 design, this rendition of the Jordan 5 Racer Blue is coated in black suede rather than leather.

Jordan 7 SE Sapphire - March 30th, 2021

In similar style to the Jordan 4 Amethyst Wave, the Jordan 7 SE Sapphire is futuristically-hippy. The sneaker features a neutral translucent mesh and nubuck leather upper, contrasted by a multi-coloured pink and purple neoprene sock liner. A speckled midsole sits atop a semi-translucent outsole, while black detailing can be seen on the Jumpman and throughout.

Jordan 9 University Red

Despite its name, the Jordan 9 University Red is, in fact, grey. Constructed from a mix of nubuck and leather, the sneaker features a black upper with dark grey overlays that almost appear reflective. Red contrasting accents do appear on the branding, but in a finite proportion compared to the rest of the monochrome tones.
