In celebration of this momentous event, Jordan Brand debuts a series of limited tee designs marking the Tar Heels? victory, which are shaded in the school’s respective colors. One of the more memorable championships for UNC was when it claimed its second title 35 years ago, as freshman Michael Jordan hit the game-winning shot to lead the Tar Heels over Georgetown.

A brand new colorway of the Jordan Trainer Essential recently dropped. This time around, the shoe comes in a White and Game Royal color scheme. Let’s get a closer look via the shoe’s official images.

The Jordan Trainer Essential is said to be a lifestyle model that takes its inspiration from the Air Jordan 8. You clearly see the inspiration in the form of the tongue branding and the cross-straps on the forefoot. Most of the shoe comes in a White upper made out of mesh and fuse, while the Game Royal hits can be seen on the sole and branding. Black detailing on the midsole, outsole, heel strip and lining round out the color scheme of the shoe. Out now, pick up the Jordan Trainer Essential Game Royal today for the retail price of $120.

The Air Jordan Spizike is arguably one of the best Jordan hybrid models Jordan Brand has ever released. Although it utilizes many features and characteristics of Jordan retro models, it still manages to create a look of its own. With that being said, we’re here to let you know that the OG colorway, the Air Jordan Spizike Cement is expected to make a return this Summer.

The Air Jordan Spizike Cement comes in a White leather upper contrasted by the Grey on the mudguard, elephant print on the toe and heel and Red on the lining, sole unit, heel branding and honeycomb eyelets. Granted, the Spizike is not as popular as it was back when it made its debut in 2016, but we’re pretty sure a handful of readers will be happy to hear about this OG colorway making a return. Expected to drop on June 20th. Who’s copping?

The Air Jordan 13 Playoffs will be releasing once more. As of right now the shoe is expected to be making its return on June 20th.

Considered one of the most popular colorways of the Air Jordan 13, Jordan wore these for the first time during the ?98 NBA All-Star Game and was also his go-to shoe for the playoffs that followed soon thereafter. It comes with a Black leather upper with suede overlays to add a nice premium touch to the shoe. It is then contrasted by the hits of White and Red placed on the branding, midsole and outsole. A little bit of Yellow is found on the tongue, while the hologram logo on the heel completes the look of the shoe.

As of right now it appears as if the Air Jordan 13 Playoffs will be releasing in Europe on June 20th for $190, but there’s a good chance that the shoe will also be arriving stateside on the very same day, stay tuned and well be sure to confirm as soon as we get more info.

Jordan Brand is bringing back the original Jordan Spiz’ike “Cement” colorway this summer next to a Black/Varsity Red option that may be this “Fresh Since ’85” option from 2010, each set to release on June 20th, 2017. The Jordan Spiz’ike hybrid first debuted in October 2006 with the upper comprised of components from the retro models featured in all of the Spike Lee-helmed Mars Blackmon ads during the late-80s and early-90s. Jordan Brand periodically brought the hybrid back and it even was featured on NIKEiD, but has since slowed down in production for the past couple of years. Are you excited about some OG Spiz’ike looks returning to retailers? Pricing information hasn’t been confirmed yet, but head over to our Jordan Release Dates page for all of the coming Jumpman retro offerings.

Shortly following up the “Chutney” 13 Low on June 10th, the Playoffs colorway returns to the shelves on June 20th?at least according to European retailers.

We’ve known it’s coming back for a while now, but until today we didn’t know exactly when. The first-ever retro for the Air Jordan 13 Low “Chutney” will hit retailers on June 10th. Following the “Brave Blue” colorway’s first return this weekend, the “Chutney” version will be one of the very few original Air Jordan colorways from the 1-14 era left that hasn’t retroed. Is this the last Air Jordan that you hardcore collectors have to check off your lists? Where do we go from here? While you contemplate the state of Air Jordan retros, mark that June 10th release date on your calendars if you’re after a pair.

WWE’s biggest night lived up to the hype (mostly) as Wrestlemania 33 delivered with a number of matches and moments that fans will be talking about for weeks and, in the case of The Undertaker if this indeed is his last ride, years to come. There was something for every type of wrestling fan, from the hardcore purists who loved the Kickoff Match between Neville and Austin Aries to the internet wrestling community who popped huge for the return of the #Broken (but not really because lawsuits) Hardyz to the casual types who adored John Cena proposing to longtime girlfriend Nikki Bella and the WWE lifers who caught all sorts of feels when ‘Taker left his gear in the ring. The sneakerheads who were looking for something heat on the feet of WWE’s finest were not disappointed either.

Wrestlemania proper began with a grudge match between everybody’s favorite pure wrestler, AJ Styles, and everybody’s favorite son of the owner of the company, Shane McMahon. WWE loves to say that there are several main events in every Wrestlemania, but the reality is that if you’re not on last, you might as well go on first to set the table and let every other performer try to top your work. And as memorable as the night was, no match could top what AJ and Shane put together. Shane-O-Mac even got Sneaker Twitter talking with the Air Jordan XXX1s he had on, which turned out to be the CNY colorway. Shane rocks retros for Smackdown Live, but he goes with the current model for pay-per-view. That should tell you something when he’s attempting a Shooting Star Press…

As for the rest of the night in kicks, the NFL made an impact on WWE’s signature show with an appearance from Rob Gronkowski and his Air Jordan 6s in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal trying to help his friend Mojo Rawley. Kofi Kingston played Wrestlemania host alongside his New Day buddies in adidas JS Wings, Enzo Amore made his presence felt in custom Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Golds, Nikki Bella brought out her Mache-designed Nike Dunks, and the duo of Carmella and James Ellsworth wore black and gold Js for the Smackdown Women’s Championship Match.
