as it was the first Air Jordans he ever owned Carlos Prieto revealing a handful of samples from the release late yesterday.
You’ll see plenty of OG and PE inspiration, from “Flint” to “Brave Blue” — to a combination of the two — and a pair eerily similar to Q-Rich’s Nike Air Jordan CP3 IX Yellow Dragon “Magic” PE.
See for yourself below, and while none of these are expected to release to the market, you can find similar-colored pairs available now on aftermarket sites like StockX and GOAT.
