Now that we have had a few months to really think about its overall impact in the sneaker game, the Jordan “Bel-Air” collection seems to have come and gone without so much of a bang. Sure, the Air Jordan 5 “Bel-Air” sold out in mere minutes, but it did not pop and start showing up on the streets or on social media for weeks on end like other Jordan retros this year (“Toro Bravo” 4s come to mind). Truth be told, you’ve probably seen more people wear the Jordan CP3.VII “Bel-Air” (except for Chris Paul) than you have any other pair in the collection. Hell, if it weren’t for Jodie Meeks wearing the Jordan 6 Rings “Bel-Air” colorway last night against the Washington Wizards, we wouldn’t have a chance to make anything from that collection a headliner on NBA Kicks.
As for the rest of the night in kicks, Rudy Gay breaks out another PE of the Nike Air Max Hyperposite that we will never get a chance to own, Nike Young wore another Nike Kobe 8 that we could easily recreate on NIKEiD (which you should do pretty soon if you’re interested because the Nike Kobe 9 is coming), Tyshawn Taylor continues to represent for the three stripes in the adidas Crazy 97 and much more.
