Release Date For The Air Jordan 11 Low Blue Moon

By SoleInsider

We’re always happy to see more and more Jordan 11 Low options on the release slate. It means that the weather is finally clearing up and we can look forward to a summer of hooping and styling in our favorite patent leather low top from Jordan Brand. This Summer 2017 promises to be another successful season for Mike’s imprint for both adults and kids alike, especially given the upgraded grade school girls lineup featuring a Jordan 11 Low of their own in the Jordan 11 Low “Blue Moon” out April 22nd for $130 USD.

The Jordan 11 Low Blue Moon features some notable adjustments to the famous 1996 classic, too. First, there’s a lifestyle-inclined suede upper instead of the usual Cordura mesh fabric that’s been such a staple for the past 20+ years. The Midnight Navy color matches the iridescent sheen found on the pre-aged metallic patent leather rather nicely and that’s a drastic change of pace for the model given the usual glossy tendencies. About the only hint of traditionalism found in this pair is the icy outsole. What do you think of the look? Check out a first set of retail images below and be sure to head over to our Jordan Release Dates page for a full look at the coming April 2017 offerings from Jordan Brand.

DJ Khaled: Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Pink Will Only Release In GS Sizes

By SoleInsider

Things aren’t looking too good for all that have the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Pink on their wish list and can’t fit into a GS size. DJ Khaled recently had a brief interview with Jordan Brand. Of course they talked about sneakers, but the one tidbit that had everybody talking was the fact that Khaled said that the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Pink releasing later on this year will only do so in GS sizing.

?This broke the internet. Me, in my house, on my way to the press conference to announce the title of my album, Grateful. I remember calling Reggie [Saunders], I was like, ?Yo Reggie, imma wear a pink suit at the Beverly Hills Hotel for my press conference. Do you have any pink J?s?? That morning, I was surprised with some pink ?Don C?s?. I didn?t know that they only making these for kids. It makes the shoe 10 times more exclusive even though they?re already exclusive. They?re pink ?Don C?s?. I haven?t seen them. I haven?t even seen Don C with them. I got a chance to wear them and it was a big day for me, and I?m grateful for y?all sending me that pair.?

I guess we’re not going to be seeing all-Pink outfits this Summer, right? Damn. No word on when the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Pink GS will be dropping but we’re pretty sure that info will soon be provided as well.

Follow our Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Pink (Arctic Orange) hub page as more info begins to surface.

Foot Locker Employees Caught Backdooring Air Jordan 1 Royal

By SoleInsider

We all know it happens. A monumental sneaker release every other weekend typically ends in disappointed customers since there aren’t enough pairs around, but back-dooring, the act of shop employees holding pairs back for select customers who don’t have to wait on line or enter hapless raffles, still runs rampant. But at Foot Locker? @Don_athon on Twitter posted a video of what appears to be a simple transaction, but Don mentions that he waited four hours for the Royal 1s, only to be told by managers of the store that the shoes were completely sold out. Six pairs in total were “held” behind the counter for customers who appeared to casually walk in, pay for the shoes, and leave. The employee in the video as well as the customers get a bit contentious, because who really likes to be recorded on video?

To Foot Locker Inc.’s credit, they have made efforts to reach out to @Don_athon to investigate the matter. Watch the video and judge for yourself.

According To DJ Khaled, The Pink Don C x Air Jordan 2 Is Releasing For Kids Only

By SoleInsider

Jordan Brand has enlisted platinum award-winning producer DJ Khaled to help spread the brand’s influence for quite some time now. Not only has Khaled been a vocal sneakerhead throughout his numerous sneaker closet tours, but his unique and infectious personality has also inspired the Jumpman to continue to push their footwear lineup deeper into the luxurious lifestyle realm. Khaled sat down with Jordan Brand’s new blog for a brief interview focused around some of his favorite silhouettes ranging from the Air Jordan 4 Motorsports, the Air Jordan 1 Top Three, and the upcoming Don C Air Jordan 2 Pink including a rundown of that iconic photo of him in the custom pink silk suit to match the upcoming collaboration. Toward the end of the interview, Khaled even reveals that the Jordan 2 Pink may even be exclusive to a GS size run.

?This broke the internet. Me, in my house, on my way to the press conference to announce the title of my album, Grateful. I remember calling Reggie [Saunders], I was like, ‘Yo Reggie, imma wear a pink suit at the Beverly Hills Hotel for my press conference. Do you have any pink J?s?’ That morning, I was surprised with some pink ?Don C?s?. I didn?t know that they only making these for kids.

I got a chance to wear them and it was a big day for me, and I?m grateful for y?all sending me that pair.?

We’re still unsure when and where the Don C x Air Jordan 2 Pink will release but we’ll be sure to keep you updated via our Jordan Release Dates page once we track that information down. In the meantime, read the full DJ Khaled interview over at Air.Jordan.com.

Is The Air Jordan 1 Royal Satin Releasing In NYC Today

By SoleInsider

This past weekend, Jordan Brand surprised customers of Houston and Atlanta by releasing a limited edition run of the Air Jordan 1 “Royal Satin” at Active Athlete and Walter’s. While not as scarce as the Banned Satin 1s, the Air Jordan 1 “Royal Satin” is still a hotly coveted item and currently fetches top dollar on the secondary market.

Rumors of an NYC release of the Royal Satin 1 are swirling around, so if true, Jordan Brand could have a special pop-up shop ready, or they might just drop it at one of their outposts such as 45 Grand or Nike SoHo. Considering the Royal Satins dropped at their retail partners, a surprise release at top-tier sneaker boutiques such as Concepts NYC or KITH is possible as well. Consider this: the Jordan Brand Classic is this Friday and KITH Brooklyn is just a few blocks away.

Full disclaimer: the NYC release of the Royal Satins is just a rumor at this point and what is mentioned above is purely conjecture. We’ll update you on our Twitter and Instagram account should we learn more.

The Air Jordan 7 Pure Platinum Releases On June 3rd

By SoleInsider

June is going to be a huge month for Jordan Retros. Not only are we getting the Air Jordan 13 “Playoffs”, the Air Jordan 13 Low “Chutney”, and the Jordan Spi’zike OG “Cement”, but today we get word that the Air Jordan 7 “Pure Platinum” will also be available on June 3rd, cementing the month of June as another strong month for retro silhouettes from the Jumpman.

The Jordan 7 Pure Platinum, also known as the Jordan 7 Pure Money, takes Mike’s lauded 1992 retro silhouette to task with a premium combination of all white tumbled leather and Pure Platinum panels in suede for a look perfect for Summer 2017. The clean nearly all-white aesthetic is accented by Metallic Silver Jumpman branding and a neoprene tongue that skips out on the usual jagged graphics inspired initially by Bugs Bunny’s love of carrots for a simple, yet elegant look that you’ll want to keep as clean as possible. This is a new look for the Jordan 7, as it’s not a silhouette that you’d necessarily associate with an all-white colorway given the sneaker’s vibrant colorway history ranging from the Bordeaux, Raptors, and Hare options, but we’re excited for this new edition nonetheless.

Will you be picking up a pair of the Jordan 7 Pure Platinum this June? Check out more detailed shots below and head over to our Jordan Release Dates page to stay updated on all of the latest Jumpman offerings for the foreseeable future.

Look For The Air Jordan 11 Low GS Blue Moon Later This Month

By SoleInsider

First reported of its upcoming arrival this past September 2016, new detailed imagery of the Air Jordan 11 Low GS Blue Moon is provided, following its first full reveal last month.

Suggested to be exclusive for kids only, the sneaker is essentially defined by the blue moon tone covering its upper. Unlike traditional patent leather variations of the silhouette, this version incorporates a mixture of suede, alongside a cracked leather mudguard.

Slight pearlized blue accents are scattered throughout for additional vibrancy, while a crisp white midsole unit and icy translucent outsole caps off the design.

A brand new colorway of the Air Jordan 5 will be making its debut this Summer. Rocking a bold tonal upper, this new look on the Jordan 5 seems like a perfect match for those upcoming hot summer days. Here’s another look at the Air Jordan 5 Blue Suede.

The Air Jordan 5 Blue Suede comes with a suede upper done in a Royal Blue colorway. Even more Blue hues can be seen on the midsole, netting, laces and eyelets.
