As the streetball circuit heats up during the summer months in the United States, France’s Quai 54 tournament on the streets of Paris reminds everyone that the sport of basketball is global. Each year the tournament (a Jordan Brand sponsored event) also has an accompanying retro release dedicated to the weekend’s festivities – last year’s Retro V was especially sought after by collectors – more so after the planned US release was canceled at the last minute.
This year JB took a different approach, the recently released ‘Military’ Retro IV was given a ‘slight’ makeover (essentially only the tongue is different), and the 24 pairs made were handed out to Jordan Brand ‘family and friends.’
How long before Clark Kent is seen rocking a pair?
