UPDATE: Those looking to cop the Air Jordan 18 in Black/Metallic Silver-Sport Royal are in for some good news. Its expected October 25 launch date has been pushed up to October 11. Originally launched back in 2003, this would be one of the last models we’d see MJ wear on court during his small stint with the Washington Wizards. Let us know your thoughts on the new arrival date and if you plan on matching this pair with the classic Wizards threads.

At the top of the year Jordan Brand shared what to expect from its Spring launches and one of them included the Air Jordan 18 “OG” in White/Metallic Silver-Sport Royal. Today, news has surfaced that the model will return once more in its black iteration. Similar to the aforementioned colorway, its white base is swapped with black suede while metallic silver and Sport Royal returns to the previous locations on the sneaker. According to @zsneakerheadz the retro is set to hit retail shelves on October 25 for $225 USD.

Browse the shots above and let us know your thoughts on how it compares to the contrasting white edition.
