Jovani Hernandez Currently in the midst of promoting his new album, “Jose,” J Balvin recently took to Instagram to tease just one of the many projects he’s lined up for the last stretch of 2021: another collaboration with Air Jordan.
Having just had his Air Jordan Eclipse Chukka Lea Wheat Aa1274-731 from December 2020 added to Epic Games’ Fortnite, the Colombian superstar seems poised to continue making history as the only Latinx artist with an official joint-effort with Michael Jordan’s NIKE, Inc. subsidiary. The 36-year-old hasn’t unveiled which model has served as his latest canvas, teasing instead a new Jumpman-“AIR” logo. Although Team Jumpman may employ J Balvin to help energize the Jordan 1 Mid Tumbled Leather Grey or Red Suede Air Jordan XIV for their upcoming respective 30th and 25th anniversaries, the previewed emblem seems more inline with propositions outside of #23’s signature sneaker line. Therefore, it’s possible the model in question is more akin to a NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO FLIGHT NOSTALGIA 28cm than anything else. And if J Balvin will help the storied brand launch a brand new design, then that’s another huge win for #LatinoGang.
Keep it locked here for any update, and head over to the “Jordan releases 2021” post to see what drops are left in the year.
