New Nike, Air Jordan pairs to look forward to in 2021

With all the new pairs of shoes and sneakers being introduced left and right, it can be overwhelming to keep track of them all. As expected, top sports brand like Nike is one of the busiest this year. Despite the pandemic when people are supposed to stay at home and limit going outdoors, we’ve seen a number of new pairs in different styles, silhouttes, and colorways. They don’t just remain listed on online stores or displayed on shoe racks, people actually still buy them. 

We’ve seen a lot of new designs from Nike. Just recently, there’s the Nike PG5 in subtle colorway , the exclusive Nike Dunk Low are for EKIN employees, Nike Kyrie S2 Hybrid Chinese New Year, Nike Air Max 1 LV8 ‘Obsidian’, and the Nike Air Raid White Black 2021 colorway. We’re not forgetting Nike’s iconic Kobe VI ‘Grinch’ Protro released in time for Christmas, as well as, the Nike Air Jordan 13 “Black Hyper Royal”.

For 2021, sneakerheads and true blue Nike fans have a lot of new designs to anticipate. We’ve listed a few here. Check which pair is for you.
