Update (5/12/23): Official images of the Air Jordan MVP "Raptors" have been revealed. An official release date is yet to be confirmed but is expected to launch in the coming months.
Ray Allen laying it up in the Air Jordan 2009 PE Air Shine Jordan 1 Mid Light Smoke Grey 2022 554724-078. I know it's not a Retro but the Coconut has some promise.
The MVP takes influence from the construction of three iconic Coconuts by using the midsole of the 6’s along with the pull tabs on the tongue. The main structure and paneling of the upper pay tribute to the 7’s while the patterned panel on the rear foot is a Jordan 8 hallmark. The colorway of the shoe is known as the Raptor and it was first made famous by the Air Jordan 7. The Raptor has since been used by Drake in his Jordan 4 collaboration.
We’ve seen this kind of remix before from the Swoosh with the Son Of Mars and Spizike lines both being relatively popular outside of the Retro series. Who am I Uabat, unless this shoe has some serious on-court benefits it probably should have been left on the design lab floor.
Release details and pricing are still a mystery at this time but expect to see this Coconut released on the Ray Allen laying it up in the Air Jordan 2009 PE Jordan Pantaloni giallo grigio sfumato.
