They didn’t call the man Air Jordan for no reason. Taking a scientific name for clouds that are visible at high altitudes, the Air Jordan Retro Noctilucence Socks pack pays tribute to some of Michael’s most popular sneakers ever.
Going above and beyond just branding a sock and putting it in the appropriate colors, JB uses label specific to each shoe. For instance, the XI sock uses the signature sideways text, and the VI uses a label modeled after the lace lock. Other shoes include the XII “Taxi” and “Nubuck” and the XI “Concord” and “Space Jam,” among others. The II sock even gets the old school “wings” logo and the XII gets the heel logo form the “Taxi’s”. The socks, which will release sometime next year, even come in a special shoe box package covered in clouds.

2006 was a great year for Air Force 1 releases. We saw the World Cup series release, the Invisible Woman release, and the Philippines edition, just to name a few. Out of all the dope releases that year, the 2006 Easter Egg Air Force 1 is arguably one of the top three Air Force 1’s of all time (Kanye’s voice)! This pair was released around March of 06 as a quickstrike release and quickly became a must-have for the majority of the Air Force 1 lovers. The colors and the quality of the patent leather on this Air Force 1 came together perfectly to create this instant classic. While any hope of copping these for the retail price of around $100 is long gone, sometimes you can still catch a deadstock pair floating around the internet for decent prices.
