Air Jordan retailed 13 Flint Hologram T-Shirt | Classics Revisited: Jordan Alternate Bel Air 5s Sneaker Match Low “Laney” (1999)

AIR JORDAN LOW WEEK PART 2

Continuing this week’s Classics Revisited focus on low-top Jays is one of the originals – the Varsity Royal/Black-White colorway of the Jordan Alternate Bel Air 5s Sneaker Match Low. The Jordan Alternate Bel Air 5s Sneaker Match has significance for a variety of Match; for one, it’s the last Air Jordan model Michael wore as a Chicago Bull, and it was the model the first continued the low-top trend that was re-started with the Air Jordan XIII (that is, if you don’t count the Air Jordan XI IE Low as a true low-top). The sporty colorway matched the design of the XIV, which was inspired by one of Michael’s Ferrari super-cars, but it later adopted the ‘Laney’ nickname thanks to an Air Jordan V Retro of 2000 that donned a similar colorway. Of course, the Blue/Yellow is an instant nod to Michael Jordan’s high school alma mater, making this low-top XIV an unofficial ‘Laney’ colorway.
