Jordan Brand has signed its first-ever Chinese basketball player in Guo Ailun, a 24-year-old rising star who currently plays for the Lianoing Flying Leopards of the CBA. This signing comes as part of the brand’s 20th Anniversary celebration of its entrance into the Chinese market, which considers basketball its most popular sport. Guo isn’t the first to be signed to a major brand; Hall of Famer Yao Ming and promising forward Yi Jianlian signed with Reebok and Nike, respectively, upon entering the NBA.

Michael Jordan even dropped a message for Guo as part of the official introduction. See the video below.

This Saturday, one of the most expensive kids shoes of all-time will release to the public – the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 “Arctic Orange”. Don C made the kids/toddler sizing deliberate, as he wanted the shoes to be available to his family members who missed out on his first two launches. However, the term “accessible” should not be used freely as the shoes are priced at $150 for toddler sizes, $200 for pre-school, and $350 for big girls. In addition, the Arctic Orange Just Don 2s are likely to be very limited as just 16 stores are releasing these. See the full store list and official product info below.

It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but there’s strong rumors that an all-red Air Jordan 11 will finally be releasing this year during the holiday season.

Today we get what is believed to be our first look at the Air Jordan 11 Gym Red which features a bright red ballistic mesh upper with a matching patent leather mudguard. Other noticeable details that we can see in this picture include a black Jumpman on the ankle, a white midsole, and an icy blue translucent outsole.

If this is indeed a first look at the pair that will be releasing this December, what are your thoughts? Are you happy with the results? Remember that the shoe is scheduled to release on December 16, 2017 for $220.

Three days. In a matter of three days everyone who wants a pair of the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money will be able to get one. It’s been a cool minute since a GR Jordan has sold out instantly (with the exception of a few drops here and there), so if you’re in dire need of a pair, you don’t have to wait much longer.

The Air Jordan 4 Pure Money is essentially an all-White Air Jordan 4. Constructed out of leather, the same godly hue can be found on the netting, laces sole unit and lining. Simultaneously giving the shoe some contrast and some nice pop are the Pure Platinum hits noted on the lace tabs and Jumpman branding on the heel. All-White Jordans? You can’t go wrong with these during the Summer.

Look for the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money at select Jordan Brand stores and online on May 13 in full family sizing, with adult sizes going for $190. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 4 Pure Money (2017) launch page now for more imagery, the latest info and release details.

Around the time that Shad Moss aka Bow Wow was filming Like Mike, he and Marcus Jordan would meet up every time that the rapper/actor would land in Chicago and have a sleepover at Michael Jordan’s famous mansion. Shad joined VICELAND’s late night duo Desus & Mero to talk a sleepover gone wrong in which he showed up to Mike’s home wearing Iverson’s (we can only assume that it was this pair) and Duke shorts and woke up to an angry MJ questioning who had the balls to wear Blue Devils’ (an obvious rival to his alma mater UNC) and a competing brand like Reebok that was hot at the time given Allen Iverson’s MVP status in the early 2000s. It all ended well apparently, as Michael Jordan got on the phone and replaced the Duke shorts and Iverson kicks with some Jumpman gear. Watch the full story unfold below.

Whether it was that super limited homage to the Air Jordan 1 or a unique take on the Air Jordan 6, you can now hit the course and the country club in style with retro inspired offerings from the Jumpman. Not too long ago, professional golfer Pat Perez unveiled some upcoming Air Jordan 13 Golf and now we have word that both an Air Jordan 13 OG-inspired colorway and a Triple White will arrive at select shops in limited numbers on May 18th.
