If you’re like a good percentage of the sneaker world, you probably missed out on the release of the Air Jordan XIII “He Got Game” in March.

If this rumor is true, a lot of people will no longer secretly hate on those who did get them.
As I am sure you all know by now, the ‘Bugs’ Air Jordan VIII will be returning to the sneaker world again on April 20th. What you may not have known is that with their return comes the return of another classic. Accompanying the ‘Bugs’ arrival will be the triumphant return of the Air Jordan Retro Card. The Retro Cards came to a stop in 2009/2010, and were sorely missed amongst those sneakerheads who collected them and mounted them in frames.
With this latest development, one can only imagine what’s to come in the future. Which are you sneakerheads more excited about? The VIII’s or the Retro Card? Hit us up and let us know how you sneakerheads are feeling.

Last Sunday was no exception, as Sabathia packed a pair of Air Jordan 11 “Yankees Away” Cleats for a road game in Detroit. This player exclusive features a navy blue mudguard, met by a grey upper. The results were favorable in the debut of this PE pair, as CC threw seven scoreless innings in a series clinching win over Justin Verlander and the Tigers.
