The Air Jordan 1 Armed Forces pack will be releasing this upcoming Saturday May 24th. Two different colorways (one in a walnut and the other in a medium brown) will be releasing in this pack that commemorates Michael Jordan’s brother’s service in the US Military. Both of these Quickstrike releases will be available at all 3 Southern California BLENDS locations.
The Air Jordan 1 has undergone a series of themes in the last few months which will luckily culminate in an anticipated OG colorway release later on this year. However for the time being, from recent army inspirations, a “Father’s Day” model has been slated to release in June. The black/white upper features a clear Swoosh and herringbone like materials along the side and toebox. Estimated release date is June 7th, in time for Father’s Day approximately a week later.

One of the dope baseball highlights is the baseball stitching seen across the side of the toebox. Available in two different pinstripe colors. Available now at select Jordan accounts.

There is also talk of a #45 Chicago White Sox t-shirt as well that will release alongside the sneakers.
