Many of our favorite NBA players have balled in a variety of rarely seen retros, but some Jordans are still yet to be seen at the game?s highest level. With that in mind, we take a look at fifteen of the best Air Jordan retros that have never been worn in an NBA game. Give us your favorites in the poll and comment section.<\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 5 &#8220;Laney&#8221;<\/h2>\n image via <a title=\"kixclusive\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kixclusive.com\/default.aspx?\" target=\"_blank\">kixclusive<\/a>\n<p>Back when the ?Laneys? first dropped, retros weren?t in rotation for most NBA stars. We could see a few sneakerheads on the Golden State Warriors rocking these in a game.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 4 &#8220;Oreo&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Rip Hamilton debuted the recent ?Cement? 4 release on court, but their black-based Retro+ counterpart has never seen the pro game. These are neutral enough to be brought out by anybody, but a Spurs sporting makes sense.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 7 &#8220;Pacific Blue&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Russell Westbrook in vault retros? Why not? The pearl white base and bright shades of blue and orange make for a nice match with OKC colors.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 13 &#8220;Wheat&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>The &#8220;Wheats&#8221; would?ve looked nice with the LeBron-era Cavs unis. We?re still waiting for these to make an NBA debut.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 4 &#8220;Mist Blue&#8221;<\/h2>\n image via kixclusive\n<p>This Melo-inspired makeup wasn?t worn on court by Air Anthony. These days, the ?Mist Blue? 4s would still look nice with Nuggets or Grizzlies gear.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 11 Low White\/Red<\/h2>\n<p>The first batch of patent leather Air Jordan 11 Lows got more love off-court when they released. Any chance Nate brings out this White\/Red colorway in Chi-Town?<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 9 &#8220;Olive&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Three releases and no NBA action? Hard to believe, but the ?Olives? are yet to play in a pro game. This off-court colorway would go well with the Raptors camo uniforms.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 7 &#8220;Citrus&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>The Atlanta Hawks are one of many NBA teams wearing throwbacks this season. This ?Citrus? colorway would look fly with the retro jerseys.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 3 &#8220;Mocha&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>There isn?t a lot of brown on most NBA team?s color palettes. Still, we?d love to see the ?Mochas? on court.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 5 &#8220;Grape&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Neither the Charlotte or New Orleans Hornets rocked the ?Grape? 5s on court. That should change soon.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 4 &#8220;UNDFTD&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Not too many collabs make it on court, then again, not too many people have these. Like the ?Olives,? these would look nice with the camo Raptors jerseys.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 2 &#8220;Doernbecher&#8221;<\/h2>\n image via kixclusive\n<p>We?d like to think pro basketball is coming back to Seattle. When it does, the ?Doernbecher? 2s need to make their NBA debut.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 3 &#8220;Do The Right Thing&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Matching is an afterthought for most hoopers these days. The ?Do the Right Thing? 3s might take well to the Denver jerseys, but would stand out on any team.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 5 &#8220;Burgundy&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>When the Air Jordan 5 ?Burgundy? released it was a lifestyle play. We could see this colorway crossing over with the Cavs.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Air Jordan 4 &#8220;Eminem&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>The Pistons haven?t had a sneaker star since Rip went to Chicago. That could all change with an ?Eminem? 4 debut in the Palace.<\/p>\n<p>[polldaddy poll=6943276]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last few years, we?ve seen retro Jordans take over the casual space and make a splash on the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2415,"featured_media":278996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[618],"tags":[1225537],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The 15 Best Air Jordan Retros We&#039;ve Never Seen on the NBA Hardwood | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy The 15 Best Air Jordan Retros We&#039;ve Never Seen on the NBA Hardwood shoes.
