We now have an official update for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend Air Jordan Retro Restocks. This just in:
Memorial Day weekend is almost upon us and we’re kicking off the unofficial start to summer in a big way with some Jordan Retro in-store only restocks! Here are all the details:
In partnership with mall management, SELECT Foot Locker stores will implement a sweepstakes ticket procedure* in order to purchase the Air Jordan 4 Retro “Fire Red” (on sale 5/25/13 for 0), Air Jordan 5 Retro “Fire Red” (on sale 5/25/13 for 0) and Air Jordan 1 Retro “Joker” (on sale 5/25/13 for 5). The sweepstakes ticket procedures will begin Wednesday, May 22nd and end on Thursday, May 23rd. If your ticket number is selected, you will be notified by phone on Friday, May 24th. These procedures are for SELECT STORES only. To find out which store near you will carry the shoe and if that store will implement the sweepstakes ticket procedure, please visit the Foot Locker “Launch Locator” here. These releases will ONLY be available in store and will NOT be restocking online. Footlocker.com will ONLY be restocking the Air Jordan 3 Retro 88 “White/Cement” in men’s and grade school kids sizes on 5/25. You can read those details here.
Our customers are our priority and we encourage everyone to follow the procedure outlined above in an orderly and safe manner. We thank you in advance.

To note, the NikeStore will also restock the Air Jordan III (3) ’88 Retro. Well, there you have it guys. Keep it here with Sneaker Files for more news and updates on these releases.
Releasing this coming Saturday, is Michael Jordan’s iconic Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Black Toe”. The original from 1985 goes for several thousand USD and therefore we believe we can all agree that we welcome the return of the sneaker this week. Look out for the release from May 25, 2013, at select retailers around the globe.
It’s only right, right? With all the Yeezy madness and the success of recent re-retros of retro+ colorways, the red suede pair from the Air Jordan 5 “Toro Bravo” Pack has to be a favorite for a second run. The shoes are still a standout at the summits, in the streets, or in the pages of Celebrity Sneaker Stalker or Kicks On Court. Is there any doubt that these wouldn’t be a hit as a solo release? We sure don’t think so. Bring ‘em back!

Today is the big day for Jordan 8 and Phoenix Suns fans because Jordan Brand is dropping the Air Jordan VIII ‘Phoenix Suns’.
When images first leaked of the Jordan 8 Phoenix Suns, many called them the New York Knicks. Yes, they do have similar color schemes but the reason they are actually inspired by the Suns will take us back to 1993.
Michael Jordan entered another NBA Finals match up, this time against Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson and the rest of the Phoenix Suns. Needless to say Jordan and the Chicago Bulls won the series in 6 games (4-2) giving MJ his 3rd NBA Championship title. This shoe pays tribute to the series.
Moving on, the 2013 Air Jordan 8 Phoenix Suns uses a black nubuck upper with your traditional perforation, cool grey wraps the heel, we have a mixture of bright citrus and deep royal blue on the midsole, sole, and Jordan 8 emblem on the tongue.
Releasing May 18th 2013 and will retail for 0. You can grab a pair now at SneakerCrew.com.
It’s a testament to the distinctiveness of the Air Jordan IV that even disassembled and repurposed into a makeshift mask, its individual components make it instantly recognizable as MJ’s fourth signature sneaker. For his latest project, designer and illustrator Freehand Profit steered clear of the usual gas mask motif, using a single pair of Air Jordan IV “Fire Red” to produce this mask inspired from the Marvel universe. The piece contains certain elements — namely, the shape of the lenses and the lines extending from the eyes to the mouth — that give the nod to a subtle Iron Man influence. Check out detailed looks in the gallery below.
Joining the “Suns” Nike Barkley Posite Max release tomorrow will be the arrival of the “Suns” Air Jordan VIII. Releasing 20 years after MJ and the Bulls beat the Phoenix Suns in the 1993 NBA finals, sneakerheads everywhere only have 24 more hours to wait until they are able to purchase these highly anticipated Air Jordan VIII Retros.
With tomorrow shaping up to be a battle of the “Suns” inspired kicks, which pair do you sneakerheads think will reign supreme?

Though the first set of images we shared with you all really didn’t do the “Grey Cement” Air Jordan IV any justice, we’ve got some fresh new pics for all you sneakerheads to see.
Despite there still not being any updated release info on this non-OG colorway, the folks over at Jordan Brand have manufactured what will most assuredly be a huge hit in the form of this muted grey/white/black pair of AJIV’s.
