Jordan brand clothing thread? WHY NOT

only retro re-released gear.
Yes! + 1. I loved Nike's OG warm up suits. From the III to the VI, ALL of them were fire. When JB re-released them in recent years for the III, IV, and V, they were pretty true to the originals, and I ate them up. The ONLY thing that disappointed me is that we didn't get this specific suit:

And this shirt has come back in different variations with an elephant print background, but it NEEDS to come back in OG form with the splatter background. It's my favorite Jordan shirt of all time:

Not to mention this sweatshirt in both white and black (this is my original from 1990):

I have quite a bit of original and current Nike and JB apparel. I could go on. And on. LOL.

This jacket released in 4 colors in like 2013 and I had to pick up the red one. Still have it today too. Excellent fit, made out of comfortable material.

Picked this shirt up from Finish Line a few weeks back, with a Reward that made it (and a pair of socks) come out to like $7-$8. If y'all can get it for that price, and like the shirt of course, i'd suggest it. Solid dri-fit shirt in my opinion.

Would post pics of mine, but i'm on vacation.
 
Does anyone have pics/info/catalog on the first JB clothing line? I have been looking for info on the shooting shirt from '97 or '98.
 
I was looking for the Jordan Brand version of a shooting/warm-up shirt similar to what the Bulls wore in pregame shoot around. I remember it being Black sleeved and White (similar to a jersey material) and some gray. I have been looking for this info for a while but with no luck. I am almost certain it was 1997/98 time frame for the availablity.

Is this the shooting shirt you're looking for?

From what I remember about this one, it was put out in Spring 1998 as part of the later AJ XIII line. Its official name was indeed the Air Jordan Shooting Shirt. I think the official colorway was black/true red/grey. There's hardly any white on it, I think just the Jumpman and the back tag. The strips of mesh on the underarms and down the sides are grey. It was definitely from an era where apparel was constructed to LAST (obviously, look at the condition mine is in and it's 19 years old). I think I got mine new for around $80. I know it was on shelves a while because a buddy of mine got one for like half off if I remember correctly, and I ended up inheriting his after he got rid of his Jordan gear several years later.

This is from one of the first (if not the very first) apparel lines after "Brand Jordan" was established in 1997. But well before JB started going cheap. The mesh and material on the shirt is heavy duty polyester, and the buttons are the high quality metal snaps which you hardly ever see anymore. All in all it's one of my favorite pieces of Jordan apparel. I used to wear it a lot with my OG Playoff and black/red XIIIs. I still wear it pretty regularly on the weekends to this day.

EDIT - Now that I thought about it, I remember seeing the comedian Sinbad wearing this shirt back when he had a talk show (he actually DID have his own show once). I remember thinking, "Hey, I have that shirt." And then thinking it was a little sad watching Sinbad try to be cool. Kind of like watching DJ Khaled be a buffoon in the present day. LMAO.

These were worn religiously my senior year. 3m in the white shirt around the sleeves.

I have that white one too. It was from Winter 97. But I made the mistake of buying it back then in XXL at a time I was way too skinny for an XXL, and my friends said it looked like a hospital gown. LOL.
 
I just want JB to retro this outfit for the 4's again, I got a red one very similar to it, but I need that black one.

I wish they would go back to "regular fit" cut on their apparel instead of the "athletic cut".

I'm a big guy and a 3xl AC is hard to find at times.

And drop prices lol.

They did release a black AJ IV warm up suit around the time the black/cements last released. The biggest differences were that it had no soft white lining like the OG (it was made entirely of ripstop nylon), and the Flight patch on the jacket was black. The patch on the pants was white though. The outer texture of this suit was SLIGHTLY different than the original suit, but other than that, the missing lining, and the patch color, it looked the exact same as the one D.O.C. is wearing in that pic. They also released a completely red version of the suit, which once it was gone off Eastbay, seemed to be harder to find than the black one.

Shortly after the 2012 run of Retro IVs, they released an insanely priced version of a different AJ IV warm up suit ($230 jacket, $100 pants) which was entirely true to OG specs. The jacket was a half-zip pullover and the jacket and pants had different red highlights. In 1999 (alongside the first IV Retros) they released 2 versions of a similar suit, one of which was black with white and red highlights, while the other was navy blue with white and Columbia blue highlights, but the 2013 version was completely true to the OG in look and material.

As a formerly bigger guy who's dropped a bunch of weight over the last year, I couldn't agree more. Even with the weight loss I still tend to go XXL in a lot of athletic cut Nike/JB apparel simply because of the way my upper frame and my damn hips are built. Like with a couple pairs of Nike 2 in 1 shorts I got last year, I love working out in them but there's no way I would fit in anything under an XXL even now.

Here are the pants to the red suit. I'll have to take some pictures of my fit when I get home. But I would love to have the black version. I never knew there were pants for the 2nd black top.

Don't know what size you're looking for, but I've seen the black jacket and pants float around eBay a lot more frequently than the red ones. The official name for them is the "AJIV OG Twist" jacket and pants. The jacket originally retailed for $90 and the pants were $80.

And yeah, for the half-zip jacket there were pants as well. They both sat on NDC forever until they were heavily discounted. Before I bought these, I waited until the whole suit went on clearance AND I was able to use a discount code on top of that, just because that jacket was so damn expensive. The name on these was the "AJIV 1989 Flight" half-zip jacket and pants.

EDIT - There are auctions currently on eBay for men's sizes S-XL in the OG Twist black jacket, but no black pants that I saw at this time. And there's one auction for the red pants in a M.

Need some of the Space Jam clothing

If I had gotten the SJs, I'd have DEFINITELY gotten this shirt and maybe even the similar hat; I'm really digging the logo against the black background:

This next one, ehh, I guess it's OK but there's something that just doesn't sit right about the colors in this logo on a black background. Maybe it's the green and red visual dissonance Freddy Krueger type of effect (which really is a thing):
