Dropping next month, here are official images of the Jordan Luka 2 in the brand new Lake Bled colorway. For those that may not know, not only is Lake Bled the most popular island in Slovenia, it is also the only natural island in Slovenia. This island now houses several buildings, including a 17th-century church that is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary.

This colorway of the Jordan Luka 2 adopts Lake Bled’s colors as it combines Polar, Bright Crimson, Psychic Blue, Diffused Blue, University Blue, and Blue Tint hues. The sneaker comes with an upper constructed out of a blend of engineered mesh and leather along with TPU reinforcements for support. Various shades of Blue take care of the majority of the upper, while the Crimson accents take care of the Luka-branded tongues, Jumpman logos, laces, and insoles. The Luka 2 incorporates Formula 23 foam and Cushlon 3.0 on the medial side, while this particular pair comes with a White midsole and Blue outsole.

In Jordan Brand news, the Air Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined is set to debut next February.

In addition to the Air Jordan 17 Low making a return in 2024, it is also being reported that the Air Jordan 17 OG Varsity Red is also slated for a long-awaited return. Air Jordan 17 enthusiasts, we’re sure this is music to your ears!

The Air Jordan 17 Varsity Red made its debut back in 2002 as one of the OG colorways of the Air Jordan signature model. The Air Jordan 17 is particularly known for being one of the models that Michael Jordan wore during his tenure with the Washington Wizards. It is also known for being the model that introduced certain performance enhancements that were introduced by Jordan Brand such as the Blow-Molded Air, a complete shank plate that spans the entire length of the sneaker, and a TPU heel stabilizer.

Done in a clean White and Red color scheme, some of the inspiration behind Air Jordan 17 is actually jazz music. This is evident the moment you look at the detachable midfoot cover where you will find engraved musical notes. The OG Air Jordan 17 Varsity Red was given a White base, while the Varsity Red hits were strategically placed throughout. That said, we do expect the 2024 version to follow suit, or at least look very similar to the OG pair.

The Air Jordan 17 OG Varsity Red is slated to make a return sometime in 2024, but at this time there is no confirmed official release date. As far as the retail price goes, that is also yet to be announced. Stay tuned for up to the minute updates.

In release news, the Air Jordan 4 Red Cement is set to release on September 9th for the retail price of $210.

That was quick, wasn’t it? Only days after being welcomed to the Jordan Brand family, MLB superstar Aaron Judge has already gotten his first Air Jordan PE cleat. Crafted by Jordan Brand PE designer Ryan Smith, here is a first look at the Air Jordan 1 Low Double Gum PE.

Aaron Judge’s Air Jordan 1 Low Double Gum PE gets its inspiration from Judge?s initial interaction with the Jordan team, where he shared his renowned in-game ritual of chewing bubblegum. The Pink color of the cleats is a clear inspiration from this encounter. When it comes to Judge’s bubblegum routine, it consists of beginning each game with two gum pieces, replacing them only if he faces a strikeout. This rule carries on throughout the game, with the goal being to conclude with the same ?tough? and tasteless gum he started with. You probably won’t see these cleats being worn by Judge during an actual game due to the Yankee’s firm uniform guidelines, but Judge wasted no time in testing these out during a recent pre-game batting practice.

Get an official look at Aaron Judge’s Air Jordan 1 Low Double Gum PE below and let us know if you’d cop a non-cleat version is Jordan Brand ever decided to drop these to the general public.

UPDATE (8/18): The Air Jordan 38 “Fundamental” will release on August 25th at select Nike/Jordan Brand retailers for $200.

UPDATE (7/3): Jordan Brand has officially unveiled the Air Jordan 38. This is what they has to say about the latest Air Jordan signature sneaker:

• The Air Jordan 38 introduces the X-Plate, a new plate technology drawn from the insights of Michael Jordan?s impeccable footwork. The X-Plate, which is a nod to the straps on the Air Jordan VIII, is combined with a radial herringbone traction pattern and a full-length Zoom Strobel unit.
• The upper is made with a unique backless embroidery and doubles as a canvas for highlighting Michael Jordan?s performance in the 1993 championship series.
• The Air Jordan 38 is the most sustainably made Air Jordan signature shoe in Jordan Brand history, made of at least 20 percent recycled material by weight.

Built to serve intricate footwork, the shoe is designed low to the ground so players can have more court feel during pivots, cuts and defensive slides. The new X-Plate, which is a nod to the straps on the Air Jordan VIII, keeps the foot over the footbed during sharp movements. A radial herringbone traction pattern works with a full-length Zoom Strobel unit and full-length Cushlon 3.0 foam for just the right amount of responsive cushioning. The outrigger helps secure the foot for lateral movements. The X-Plate continues a long line of Jordan-exclusive development in its plate technology, from the Flight Plate to the Eclipse Plate to the IsoPlate.

The backless embroidery over the forefoot area in the upper helps secure the foot. The upper doubles as a canvas for highlighting Michael Jordan?s performance in the 1993 championship series, when he averaged almost 41 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists on 50 percent field goal percentage. The embroidered upper features specific areas calling out those stats. For example, 41 crosshatches on the collar represent Jordan?s 41-points-per-game average for the series. Three diamonds on the medial side symbolize the Chicago franchise?s third consecutive championship.

The Air Jordan 38 in the Fundamental colorway will release on August 18 on jordan.com and at select global retailers. 

UPDATE (6/23): Here are official images of the Air Jordan 38 Fundamental. Look for these to drop on August 18th for the retail price of $200.
