Return of the Retro Card

855 days ago - by Alex Kroviak - 34 comments

Sure, it’s just a piece of cardstock with pictures of shoes thrown into the box of nearly $200 shoes. It may seem some people get a little too worked up about it, but the retro card represents a nice little touch from JB for its collectors, that a lot of us missed with all the Coutdown Pack releases. And for the next retro release, the Rising Sun 12s, it looks like it’s back.

You can check out all of the big Air Jordan Holiday Releases, which we can assume will also include retro cards and/or special packaging. If you haven’t already seen it, the Space Jam 11s will include special packaging elements like a double box and blue plastic shoe trees. This may be a moot point for most sneakerheads, but collectors hope this holds true and that the retro card is back for good.

JB should used the retro card in the countdown packages. But they need to bring back the plastic Jordan tag you got with the 3 and 4 but change it up for each shoe.

That retro card should have a photo of when Iverson did a crossover on Jordan, now that would be a retro card worth collecting.
