Aside from the Jumpman branding on the tongue, the Air Jordan AJKO pairs from last year were definitely some of the better re-created retro pairs in recent history. Showing just how close they came to the original look is this, an OG pair that’s up for grabs right now. Even the midsole, the place where we usually see the most aging on pairs this old, has been kept pristine. Get a full look at this Air Jordan AJKO after the jump and grab em now from jakethesnake312 on eBay.

For our episode of The Daily Jordan today we’re taking it all the way back to the beginning. No, not the Air Jordan 1, but the Air Jordan AJKO that dropped at around the same time. The design was a canvas version of Michael Jordan’s first signature sneaker, with this vintage pair mimicking the immediately popular ‘Bred’ colorway. Get a better look at this gem in the gallery after the jump and check out your chance to own an original pair of the Air Jordan AJKO from jake93854 on eBay.

We gave you a heads up that the Air Jordan 1 KO styles and the Jordan Son of Mars that dropped last weekend wouldn’t be available on Nikestore for the time being, and as of now the silver lining from that dark cloud has emerged. All three pairs will be available tonight at 7PM EST, so make sure you keep an eye on the Nikestore Twitter account to get the link on where to buy them ASAP.

Alright folks, we’ve got a little update that just might throw a wrench in your Air Jordan chasing plans for the weekend.

Adjust accordingly and good look grabbing your pairs!

Can you recall any month so jam packed with top notch Air Jordan 1 releases? Neither can we. June promises an exciting trio for Mike’s initial silhouette, coming with a couple of models that break away from the Air Jordan 1 proper. First up are the two Air Jordan AJKO pairs, both of which borrow OG blocking with the ‘Bred’ and ‘Black Toe’ looks. After that is the Air Jordan 1 Phat mixing up the bulls look with some elephant print along the Swoosh. Hit the jump with us for a full gallery of all three pairs courtesy of Social Status and let us know which among them you’ll be grabbing.

Ah yes, the original ‘Bred’ colored Air Jordan that started it all. Alright that statement actually needs a bit of an asterisk, as this model actually isn’t the Air Jordan 1 proper but rather is canvas coated cousin, the dubiously named Air Jordan AJKO. The model is set to return in the summer, coming in a short week as welcoming dosage of OG flavor in a season set to be centered around the Olympics. Click through to get the official look at the retro of the Air Jordan AJKO ‘Bred’ and be on the lookout for them on June 2nd.

The pair pictured above is the intersection of a couple different Air Jordan makeups that stayed slightly out of their spotlight upon the initial release and have seen a steady incline in interest since. First you’ve got the ‘Black Toes’ colorway, a tripartite pairing often out shadowed by the industry standard red-toe black-Swoosh pair that comes to most peoples mind when thinking of the Air Jordan 1. Second you’ve got the Air Jordan AJKO, that early remix that swapped the leather out for a canvas treatment up top. The resultant Air Jordan AJKO should be a pretty big hit when it launches next Saturday, June 2nd, so make sure you’ve got a plan for picking up your pair.

It’s been a while since we had a real quickstrike release, and it actually feels kinda refreshing to be rid of the long build up and anticipation for a sneaker. Asian retailers had initially pegged this duo of the Air Jordan AJKO as a June 2nd release and it’s now being confirmed that stateside spots will follow suit. Will you be scooping up both canvassed out remixes of the original Air Jordan 1 silhouette? Let us know in the comments below and be sure to hit the gallery for a better look at both Air Jordan AJKO pairs. Photos: Gallery2

Despite being one of the most consistently retrod silhouettes in its various iterations, it’s not too often we get a pure OG blocked Air Jordan 1. Not to worry though, the canvas version with the still nebulous name is serving up a couple of hits in that category soon enough. The Air Jordan AJKO should arrive sometime in June quickstrike fashion, both in the black red and ‘black toe’ looks pictured here. Are you planning on adding both of these Air Jordan AJKO drops to your collection? Drop us a line the comments and be sure to stick with Jordans Daily for these June releases. Photos: yamaotoko
