The whole “bring Nike Air back” argument is one that has seemed relatively futile for as long as it has floated around message boards and social circles in the post-millennium era of Air Jordan retros. Has all of that racket finally amounted to something though?

Hit the jump with us to see the drool inducing Nike Air on the tongue Air Jordan 1 Retro High slated for release early next year, let us know what you think, and stick with Sneaker News for better photos from the exciting return of MJ’s first.
