Do You Prefer The Air Jordan 6 UNC Over The Air Jordan 6 Infrared

The Air Jordan 6 Infrared is one the model’s most iconic colorways. Some would say it’s the best one of all time. With that being said, how does the Air Jordan 6 UNC match up with the Infrared colorway.

As you can see in the images above, both options are almost identical when it comes to color scheme/color blocking. The only major difference is the choice of accent color (Blue or Red) use on areas such as the stripe on the heel pull tab, midsole, lace lock and Jumpman branding. Which finish are you feeling the most? I guess it all comes down to preference, right? I’m usually a fan of Blue over Red, but in this case the Infrared pair is far to classic to pass up on. Still, the Air Jordan 6 UNC should not be overlooked.

 

Releasing on December 23rd for $190, be sure to follow our Air Jordan 6 UNC hub page where you will find the latest images and info regarding this release.

Derek Jeter’s two decade career in the majors exemplified and set the blueprint for how to give and earn respect on and off the field.

What began as a moment to honor Jeter’s storied career has now evolved into a mindset shared by Jordan Brand athletes across the world: RE2PECT.

Yesterday in Chicago, Jordan Brand began the evolution of RE2PECT by recognizing local leaders and highlighting its message ? RE2PECT Above All ? across the city.

?It?s an honor to be in my hometown being recognized alongside my father and other amazing leaders from our community,?says Jordan Brand family member and Chicago native Jabari Parker. ?The initial RE2PECT campaign was inspiring, and I?m excited to see how that iconic moment has evolved into a mindset shared by me and the entire Jordan Brand family. The people being honored today truly represent what it means to put RE2PECT Above All, which is what I aspire to do on and off the court.?

To celebrate RE2PECT Above All, Jordan Brand, in partnership with Champs, celebrated seven Chicago heroes for their commitment to helping the community and inducted each one to the Champs Sports Wall of Champions.

  • Aleta Clark, Community Activist/Founder of ?Hugs No Slugs?
  • Andrew Barber, Creator of Fake Shore Drive
  • Jabari Parker, 4x Illinois high school basketball Champion, high school All-American, NBA player, member of the Jordan Brand famil
  • Justin Johnson, Founder of ?Kicks For The City?
  • Kevin Coval, Director of Young Chicago Authors/Founder of Louder Than A Bomb
  • Monica Haslip, Founder of Little Black Pearl
  • Sonny Parker, Founder of the Sonny Parker Foundation, Chicago basketball legend

Travis Scott Tells Us The Inspiration Behind His Jordan Trunner LX Cactus Jack

Earlier in the week we showed you a collaboration between rapper Travis Scott and Jordan Brand with the creation of the Jordan Trunner LX Cactus Jack. So what was the inspiration behind the colorful collab? The official Jordan Blog caught up with Travis Scott to find out.

What?s the story behind the color way?

?I didn?t want to do anything traditional. I?ve never seen the Trunner with so many colors on it.  I wanted something different; to see that model differently.?

What?s the next place you?ll be rocking the ?Cactus Jack??

?Not sure. I gave my pair away to a kid who followed my car 30 blocks to the venue. He was waiting after the show. I had to give him something ? I signed them and handed them right over to him. He earned them. Reggie I need more pairs!?

So it looks like Scott doesn’t even have a pair for himself anymore. Would you like to see Jordan Brand release this Trunner LX or are you not a fan of all the colors used on the shoe?

New Images Of The Air Jordan 5 Premium Wine

After getting out first look at the all-new Air Jordan 5 Premium in the Wine colorway yesterday, new images have surfaced of this luxurious version of the Jordan 5.

Jordan Brand has already released a couple of premium Air Jordan 5s this year so it’s not much of a surprise to see another colorway surface. This pair definitely looks premium as the entire upper has been covered in a premium glossy burgundy leather that even runs down to the midsole and up to the tongue with perforations being placed on the side panels. Giving the shoe more of a premium feel and look are tan quilted inner liners and insoles, and a leather “Flight” lace lock. A translucent outsole finishes off the look on this Pinnacle/Premium colorway of the Jordan 5.

There is no exact release date yet, but the Air Jordan 5 Premium Wine is currently expected to release some time during Fall/Winter 2017 for $400. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.
