Marcus Jordan Confirms Another 2021 Trophy Room x Air Jordan Collaboration
Written by SOURCE on May 13, 2021
It’s been roughly three months since the controversial Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1 High “Freeze Out” release, which was somewhat marred by allegations of backdooring against shop owner Marcus Jordan. Despite the launch clearly being hampered by pairs being distributed to resellers early and some sneakerheads threatening to boycott the store, Marcus isn’t slowing down and has seemingly confirmed his next collaboration.
Earlier tonight, Jordan took to Twitter to share the news, saying that he’s met with the Jordan design team about the project.
Had a ‘design huddle’ today with the Jordan Brand design team about the next @TrophyRoomStore x @Jumpman23 drop😳🙀🤐

In our report on the Trophy Room x Air Jordan 1 backdooring controversy in February, an industry insider told us that employees at Nike and Jordan Brand are aware of the allegations against Trophy Room, but are choosing not to speak out due to the store’s familial ties and the larger consequences that could come down as a result. Marcus has denied the allegations, instead blaming the early leaked pairs on thieves stealing them from the distribution center.
As of now, the model, concept or release date for Trophy Room’s next Jordan collab have not been revealed.
