The Air Jordan 28 SE is the newest upcoming release of Jordan’s Brand’s ‘Bel Air’ themed collection. Earlier sneakerheads witnessed photos of the Jordan V ‘Bel Air’ colorway, and fans get a sneak peak at this new drop.

The Air Jordan 28 is the latest official [Jordan Brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1-low-method-of-make-v3) model to release—and is a particularly performance-focused model for the sport of basketball. The 28 SE is known for its removal of the zipper-esque upper (on the original 28,) replaced with standard mid-top paneling. This particular model features a pink/grey/green/light blue camouflage colorway. A deep purple tongue and laces, alongside a black midsole (and Flightplate) accentuate the rest of the sneaker. Combine that with a multi-colored outsole and you have a seriously vibrant sneaker on your hands.

The ‘Bel Air’ Air Jordan 28 is set to drop later this year, keep your eyes peeled.
