Air Jordan 4 "Light Army" Is Europe-Only on October 31. Chase It, or Buy the Jordan 4 Already in India?

An olive nubuck Jordan 4 at €210 that no shop in India or America will carry. We ran the landed-cost maths against the Jordan 4s sitting on Indian shelves right now, and the answer depends on how many 4s you already own.

Lisa Fronts Nike's Moon Shoe "Tough Red": A $437,500 Prototype Is Now a $105 Everyday Trainer

On 1 October Nike put BLACKPINK's Lisa in a red colour-blocked fit and a burgundy nylon Moon Shoe, the "Tough Red" (IX3952-600, $105). It is the first time Nike has handed the 1972 Bowerman prototype to a pop star instead of a runner.

Nike Is Cutting Jordan Retros in 2027. Here Is What That Does to Prices in India

On the 1 October earnings call, Nike CEO Elliott Hill admitted the company has been "oversupplying" iconic retro product and promised fewer, smaller Jordan retro launches from 2027. For anyone buying Jordans in India, where the AJ1 High already lists at ₹16,995, that one sentence changes the math.

The Jordan Son of Mars Low Was a Joke in 2013. In All-Black "Black Cat", It Might Be the Smartest Jordan on Nike India.

Four Jordans stitched into one shoe, dropped for $140 in 2013 and laughed out of the room. Jordan Brand brought the Son of Mars Low back this year at $165, and the all-black "Black Cat" that landed on 21 September is selling in India at ₹17,999, below what an import would cost. Here is why the hybrid finally makes sense.

Air Jordan 6 "Oreo" 2026 Release Date & Price

Sixteen years after it sold out at $150, the Air Jordan 6 "Oreo" is back on August 8 for $215 — and this time Nike isn't hiding it behind SNKRS lottery odds. CT8529-108 brings back the same black suede and tumbled white leather that turned a cookie nickname into a grail.
