What's going on guys I haven't posted on here in a long time. Like very long. I used to post under bigloki almost 10 years ago back when you had to go to ezboard.com to login before the yuku thing happened. I'm from the glory days of snuggles mcduggal posting samples almost a year in advance and babyj dropping off tidbits of info so I'm not pulling your leg with any of the stuff I'm about to post, and if it wouldn't cost me my job I would provide screenshots. Anyway, I work at a sneaker retail shop and did some snooping around in the system and found some things you guys may or may not have heard from the sneaker blogs.

- The Stealth Jordan XX is obviously confirmed for its March release date, but the price isn't $185 or $190 like the other remastered retroes. The price in the system is $220. Steep yes but I can SLIGHTLY understand them adjusting the price due to inflation. No word on if they are going to be packaged like the originals just yet but I definitely will update as soon as I know for sure.

-There was 2 sample pics floating around for the Marvin the Martian Retro 7. One was Black dura buck, with red, green, and yellow accents, the other was white leather, with blue and some other accents I can't remember which color. According to the SKU and style code the official color description in the system is black/lt graphite so it looks like the black one from the catalog scan is the one they're moving forward with.

-There is supposed to be a heavy Chicago theme next year similar to how they did Powder/Legend blue this year for UNC and Laney for last year.
2015 is the 30th anniversary of MJ being drafted for the Bulls so expect to see a few Toro returns/debuts next year. Production began on a remastered sample of the black 3M 5's from the pack so I would expect to see them release sometime this fall as well as the Toro pair, though probably not packaged together again.

-POSSIBLE releases next year may include Knicks X's, Shadow X's, Red Steel X's, Cool Grey IV's, Black/Metallic V's, the OG color of the IX, and the Black/Maize or Steelers (don't remember if they had a nickname when they dropped in 05) XIII low.

-Last thing I can think of at the moment is the Retro 11 release for this year. Now THIS is the only thing I can say I don't have confirmation of, but this years Christmas release will probably be the Red/Melo pair that we all saw circulating this year. I don't think info on them would be in the system this early but I'm definitely gonna play around with different color code combinations and see what I can find out when I come back from my vacation.

*Quick Edit* Again
It also looks like the throwback boxes they used for the 3, 4, 5, and 6, are done officially. These releases will be in the new black/gold box for the foreseeable future.

- There's also a Flint Grey 13 inspired Dub Zero coming. MAYBE there might be a 13 as well coming but since 13 mids just finished dropping and lows are dropping there might be a slight chance they show up as a low.

If any of this has been posted already I apologize to admins and anyone who takes issue with it. Just trying to contribute.

Now about them Metallic V's, are they to have the nike air? Also, I've heard the OG Bred/ White-Cement 4's are releasing as well via another thread, can you confirm? 
 
Appreciate the info fam, hopefully those melo 11s and toro 5s do release...

As far as the throwback boxes being done tho, I'm almost positive the men sizes of Columbia 4s are coming in those boxes
 
Wouldn't surprise me about the raging bull 5s coming back out

They've made some new grey market pairs that have been swarming the market as of late

C'mon Jordan Brand.

Let my Wallet go

No word on it just yet but in the event that they do it would likely be a feb, late summer, or late fall release.
 
Just when I was going to take a break on kicks JB is talking about bringing back some copping material... Sighs shut up and take my money Jordan Brand

Nope. We got the Columbia 4's in already with the GS sizes of the 11's and they are in the fancy new box. The label is also exactly like the one on the 11's box.

Also, is next year still the year of the 7? I would hope they would continue the OG Box still

I hope those XIII lows make it into production...stat!
 
3's may return in 2018 as a 30 year anniversary celebration (only scenario I could see them coming back in) with Nike air. The 3 definitely benefits the most of the earliest models from remastering due to the midsole process. In the early days the sole was dyed and then painted and chipping was way less noticeable. Now they have just painted it. Lightnings were confirmed 3 diff times last year. They must have halted production for them but I would imagine they would drop this coming year at some point. That's just my speculation though.

I just need them to slap on the Nike Air on OG Retros from now on, especially these upcoming Metallic 5's and possible OG 4's.

Did the Og 4's have dyed midsoles as well?
 
If the retro 3 88 fetched a $200 tag for NA on the back imagine how much jb is gonna charge for NA on the back of a remastered pair... Probably going to be the same price as a pack between the $350-$500 range
 
Well atleast I can rearrange my list  of pick ups

Thanks for the much needed info

Bord 7s

Raging Bull 5s are now top priority

Now to set aside some Sneaker Money
