The Air Jordan AJKO goes deep in to the Air Jordan catalog – perhaps a bit too deep for the younger generation to truly appreciate the shoe. But despite a twenty-five year absence, the 2010 Retro releases did rather well and was considered by the Sneaker News staff to be one of the best releases of that year. In just a few short weeks, Jordan Brand will hit us with some more AJKOs – one of which is the return of the OG Black/Red colorway; of course, this OG pair we spotted has been put through the test of time and wear, but it’s still neat to see a shoe nearly three decades old still standing tall! Check out the images of this OG gem below and join in on the bidding by visiting the auction from tomctex on eBay.

The online market known as eBay continues to be one of the best resources of finding rare gems like toys from childhood or even the most random objects, but it’s an absolute gold-mine for sneakers. Nikes continue to be one of the most listed items on eBay, and we just stumbled on a piece of history – the EA Sports x Nike Alpha Force II. The Alpha Force II is obviously a forgotten model that probably won’t see a return soon, but this particular pair, dated in 2004, is the first EA Sports x Nike collaboration – ever. Of course ‘EA Sports’ has been somewhat of a recognizable term in the sneaker game with special colorways for kicks like Trainer 1.3 and Nike Zoom KD III, but the Alpha Force precedes all of those (and comes in a dope Safari/Black colorway to boot). These were a Friends-and-Family edition that was never released, and even the seller states they were given to him by pals who are/were employed by EA, so check out the images below and visit the listing from thecollectorsfind on eBay.
