There have been a lot of whispers around the ‘Space Jam’ recently and it looks like – 20 years on from the original release – they were all onto something. 90s kids around the world will no doubt be familiar with the film, which starred among a cast of Looney Toons, defending the planet from nefarious Martians. Astute Jay fiends will notice that the upcoming release has reverted to the original number 45 heel embroidery, rather than the 23 which appeared on the 2009 retro. As far as we can see from the photos, they look like an accurate re-release of the OG so don’t expect them to stay on the shelves for long.
