Jordan Brand will be releasing a limited pack of Air Jordan Vs on May 30. Dubbed the “Toro Bravos”, the kicks are inspired by the breed of bulls that take part in the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain — but that happens in July.
I’m guessing this is because MJ was a bull, so maybe we’ll get something when the next Harry Potter flick drops to commemorate Jordan’s Wizards days. I wouldn’t put it past them.
Additionally, Jordan Brand seems to think people like buying shoes in two for $338 (after tax), as this pack comes after last year’s “Countdown Packs,” which showcased two pairs in the Air Jordan line whose numerals added up to “23.” As we all know, the only one of the 11 countdown packs people bought was the last, consisting of the classic XIs and XIIs.
Speaking of the XIs, the real Jordan release to look forward to this year is the return of the Space Jam XIs in December. They’ll retail for $175, though, a fucking ripoff considering the original SJs retailed for only $125 back in ’01, when Jordan Brand was at its retro-crazed peak.
To those planning to cop the “Toro Bravos,” though, I suggest minting a pretty penny by selling those shits to stupid fucking Sole Collector kids Flight Club afterwards. So you can then buy the Yeezys—and sell them for more.
