Much like the Air Jordan 12 “Wings”, the Air Jordan 1 “Wings” will start off as an all-black offering only to unveil a hidden layer beneath that’s revealed over time with heavy wear. The Air Jordan 1 Wings is meant to represent Michael Jordan’s inner-confidence through what Nike News is calling an antiqued gold undertone layer while the black base is a visual metaphor of doubt being chipped away. Just 19,400 individually numbered pairs will be released via the Nike SNKRS The Draw process this Wednesday, May 17th and will feature premium touches of a unique tongue and heel with Michael Jordan’s outstretched ‘Wings’ silhouette displayed prominently. Check out more detailed shots below and be sure to head over to our Jordan Release Dates page for an updated look at all of the coming Jumpman offerings.

Joining alongside last year?s Air Jordan 12 Wings, will be this exclusive variation of the Air Jordan 1 High that?s treated in a similar aesthetic for one of its more stand out finishes this year. Limited to only 19,400 pairs, this Wings version of the Air Jordan 1 High comes in a Black and Metallic Gold color scheme with a distressed leather construction. The Wings theme is implemented on to the shoe, but this time around the leather upper is already rubbed off, thus revealing the very unique copper finish. Premium details include the embossed Wings logo on its tongues, leather laces, Gold metal Wings on the heels, individual numbering on the inner tongue, a golden Wings pattern on its insoles and an icy outsole that bears the wording ?WINGS? in white.

Here’s what Nike had to say about the inspiration behind the shoe:

“MJ has credited his teachers with giving him the confidence needed to succeed on the hardwood. In that spirit, Wings employs the power of education to help the youth unlock greatness. The new Air Jordan I embodies the mission behind Wings. The shoe?s upper features a rubbed off leather upper to reveal an aged copper finish, helping further the belief of having greatness within. Additionally, golden hardware is found at the heel, along with individual numbering on the inner tongue.”

Author’s Take

Juan Carrillo, Editor: Very nicely done. Love the theme/execution on the shoe. One of the most unique Jordan 1 finishes I’ve ever seen. Would love to own a pair or two. One to rock, one to display.

What better time to flaunt your fandom of the University of North Carolina Tar Heels then when their men’s team won yet another national championship? UNC rocked a number of PEs throughout their run at the NCAA national title and Jordan Brand even released the Air Jordan 31 Low Tar Heels PE at retail alongside a number of other Jumpman sponsored schools. But if you’re looking for a darker take on UNC’s official colorways, there’s yet another Air Jordan 31 Low featuring a UNC theme slated to release on May 26th for $160 USD. This pair doesn’t come equipped with any official Tar Heels logos or callouts, but it definitely features an inspiration from Jordan’s alma mater thanks to a dark Midnight Navy upper with that signature gradient transitioning to white by the toecap. University Blue branding matches the metallic sheen seen on the midsole for a perfect match for that icy bottom. What do you think of the look? Check out more official photos below and stay tuned for more Air Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News.

The Air Jordan 1 High Wings follows in the footsteps of the Air Jordan 12 and also gets the “Wings” treatment. This version of the Jordan 1 comes with a Black and Metallic Gold color scheme. The Wings theme is implemented on to the shoe, but this time around the leather upper is already rubbed off, thus revealing the very unique copper finish. Adding to the premium look of the shoe is the additional Gold accents noted on the heel, the embossed Wings branding on the tongue, the Black midsole/icy outsole, and last but not least, the individual numbering on the inner tongue. This is a very limited release. Best of luck getting a pair.

Talk about limited. We just got word that the Derek Jeter Air Jordan 11 Navy Suede that was unveiled yesterday is limited to a grand total of 5 pairs. That’s it. As most of you know, the Air Jordan 11 Navy Suede was not for sale. The 5 pairs were only available via a scratch-off lottery at the pop-up shop that was located right across Yankee Stadium.

This exclusive Air Jordan 11 pays homage to Derek Jeter and the legacy he has left not just with the Yankees, but with the entire MLB. The shoe comes with a all-suede upper done in a nice Navy Blue colorway. Adding more of a premium feel to the shoe is the debossed branding, Black leather laces and the White midsole and milky translucent outsole. Want a pair? Your best bet would be finding these on the resell market. Be prepared to pay some really good money for this exclusive Jordan 11.

What would happen if BAPE collaborated with Jordan Brand atop the iconic Air Jordan 1? The Japanese streetwear staple did hook up with Mike’s son Marcus and Trophy Room for a limited apparel collaboration not too far back, so it’s only right that we start fantasizing what could be. Customizer Jack The Ripper is already a step ahead of us, as he’s imagined the BAPE x Air Jordan 1 “Royal” featuring premium touches of calf leather on the lining, a canvas printed ape camouflage in the recently released retro Royal look, and a star graphic instead of the Nike Swoosh on the side panel. JTR was selling pairs starting at $1,200 USD with the base shoe provided which would probably be what this collaborative pair would fetch in the reselling market if it ever happened. Check out more detailed shots below and let us know what you think of this custom BAPE x Air Jordan 1 “Royal”.

Happy Mother’s Day to every single mother out there. We hope you’re treated like the queens that you are not just today, but every day. In celebration of this grand day, Jordan Brand decided to hook up some their athletes such as Mookie Betts (Boston Red Sox) with special PE versions of Air Jordan 12 Cleats paying homage to Mother’s Day.

The Air Jordan 12 Mother?s Day Cleats are dressed in Pink from top to bottom. The upper comes with a grid-pattern as well as a pull tab with the player?s number on it. Additional tonal accents on the laces, midsole, lining and branding complete the monochromatic look of the cleats. While these aren’t expected to release, you can see them in action as many of your favorite MLB players will be wearing them throughout all of today’s games.
