The Jordan Formula 23 Toggle Comes With A Unique Lacing System
By SoleInsider
Not to be confused with the Jordan Formula 23, the Jordan Formula 23 Toggle shares many similarities but the new unique lacing system os what helps it stand out from the pack.
This modified version of the Jordan Formula 23 appears to be a lower-cut version thanks in large part to the shorter neoprene inner sleeve. A new feature on the shoe is the unique bungee cord lacing system (peep the toggle on the heel) that gives you the liberty of tightening or loosening up the overall fit of the shoe. Below you will find a phylon midsole and rubber outsole that help make the shoe lightweight, low profile & responsive. We found these at an international retailer for $135, so it leads us to believe that we could be seeing these stateside in the near future.
The Jordan Formula 23 Toggle Introduces A Strange Lacing System
By SoleInsider
While simple in construction and the overall silhouette of this new Jordan lifestyle shoe, the lacing system is quite intricate for the Formula 23 Toggle. Obviously the main feature of the model since it even references the lacing system in the name, the Formula 23 Toggle features a bungee-cord-like lacing design that loosens and tightens in the heel with a lace lock?the same that you know from the Air Jordan 6. Are you feeling the techy design? If you like what you see, be on the lookout for these at select Jordan Brand retailers soon.
#ArtonFire: Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Royal Inspired Art
By SoleInsider
Jordan Brand went HAM this weekend! There were plenty of releases to choose from, but there’s no doubt that the most coveted ones has a Jumpman (or Nike Air in this case) on them. One day after dropping the KAWS x Air Jordan 4, Jordan Brand gives us another gem in the form of the remastered version of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Royal. Rocking that tumbled leather we all most of us love, the Royal 1s were definitely a hot pick up this Saturday morning. Who managed to score a pair? Whether the answer is yes or no, I thought it’d be cool to share some Jordan 1 High Royal inspired #ArtonFire with you guys that will either make you even happier that you scored a pair or even more depressed that you got to add another L to your resume. Check out the artwork below and be sure to tap/click on the artist?s name to see more of their work on IG!
Parisian-based cappiekaldi gives us a quick illustration of the Jordan 1 High Royal everyone was after this morning. Rumors suggest that the Royals were a bit harder to pick up than the Bred 1s that dropped last year, so if you got a pair, consider yourself lucky. You’ve got a good one on your hands.
Hand drawn. The artwork you see above is hand drawn! How dope is that?! London-based stephfmorris creates a work of art in the form of this clean Air Jordan 1 High drawing. “Technically” it’s supposed to be a Jordan 1 Bred, but since it’s done in greyscale, I’m pretty sure they it can also be classified as a Royal 1, right? But that’s beside the point. Lowkey, I’d be just as hyped owning this original piece as I’d be owning a pair of actual Royal 1s.
parktyson is the man when it comes to creating dope little caricatures of your athletes all while wearing kicks on fire (see what I did there). One of hit latest creations has Kawhi and MJ doing their best impersonation of the Sistine Chapel all while admiring the beauty of the Jordan 1 and 31 Flight Guy Royal that dropped this morning. Peep Jordan’s teammates and the Jordan Brand athletes behind the GOAT.
Although this one was already shared on our KicksonFire IG earlier this week, being that the grandaddy of them all (Wrestlemania) takes place Sunday evening, it was a must to share this cmineses_designs illustration that pairs up two of the biggest events of the weekend. Royal 1s dropped this a.m. and the Undertaker could possibly be fighting his last match ever tomorrow night at Wrestlemania. What a time to be alive!

There May Be A PSNY x Air Jordan 15 Collab In The Works
By SoleInsider
We’ve already reported that PSNY and Jordan are be linking once more to release a trio of new PSNY x Air Jordan 12 colorways. Today’s news suggest that a PSNY x Air Jordan 15 collab could also be in the works.
What you see above is a teaser image of what is believed to be the PSNY x Air Jordan 15. Recently shared by Dao-Yi Chow, the teaser image shows PSNY branding on the heel region of the shoe. While this could easily be a nice photoshopped image, it wouldn’t be too far of a reach to think these could actually be dropping considering that Jordan Brand has been bringing back Air Jordan 15 colorways this year. Thoughts on this potential collab? Would you like to see them drop? Let us know in the comments below.
After its original debut back in 2001 — sixteen years ago — the Air Jordan 11 Low Columbia will be receiving its first retro rendition this season.
Reflective of its OG counterpart, the defining carolina blue-colored patent leather overlay simply encompasses its entire upper, while the remaining upper composition in white is comprised of premium leather.
Finishing off the simplistic two-tone profile are white laces, a matching midsole unit and translucent outsole.
Retailing for $175, you can buy this classic pair at select Nike and JB stockists starting April 15th.

Air Jordan 1 Satin Royal Releasing at Walters & Active Athlete
By SoleInsider
In another unprecedented move by Jordan Brand, a surprise release of the Satin Air Jordan 1 Royal is taking place exclusively at two of the oldest Jordan accounts in the United States. Walter’s in Atlanta and Active Athlete in Houston are the two Jordan-lifer accounts dropping the 700 numbered pairs when they open to the public in the morning. We last saw the Air Jordan 1 Royal Satin on the feet of Jordan Special Projects director Gemo Wong at the Agenda Tradeshow a few weeks back but as Jordan noted they will release as a surprise.
The highly anticipated, highly coveted, super-hyped KAWS x Air Jordan 4 finally dropped today! Most of us wanted a pair, very few of us were actually able to acquire one. How many of our readers managed to cop a pair? If I was a betting man, I’d say less than 0.05% (Don’t ask me how I came up with that percentage, it just felt right while I was typing it).
For all of us who went home empty handed, I’ve gathered a few dope #ArtonFire KAWS x Air Jordan 4 inspired pieces I came across while on IG, and decided to share with you guys to help with the big fat L most of us took today. Get a good look at the art below and be sure to tap on the artist’s name to see more of their work on IG!

Art comes in many forms and style, and above you will see exactly what I’m talking about. eatlikeyoureondeathrow__ is seen doing what she does best by creating edible KAWS art showing the big fat L we all got once we knew there was no chance in hell we’d be able to get a pair of the KAWS x Air Jordan 4. Damn.

If there was ever a sketch/drawing that represented how we all felt after we didn’t get a call back from the raffle for the KAWS x Air Jordan 4 raffle, michaellambard hit it on the nose with this piece. One of his latest creations says it all. Sad, disappointed, heart-broken, depressed all rolled up into one. Damn.
cmineses_designs
Graphic Designer and Illustrator Christopher Mineses shares one of his latest pieces with us. It portrays His Airness himself rocking the KAWS x Air Jordan 4 all while wearing the iconic KAWS gloves. Judging by his stance, it looks like even Jordan was a bit worn out trying to secure a pair.

Last released in 2013 in limited quantities, Jordan Brand has given us what we asked for and brought back the OG colorway of the Jordan 1 four years later. Not only is there more pairs this time around, but the general consensus is that the materials are also better this time around. This iconic sneakers comes covered in a Black smooth leather upper with Varsity Royal tumbled leather adorning the ankle, heel, toebox, Nike Swoosh, the “NIKE AIR” branding on the tongue, and the outsole. A white midsole balances things out on what is sure to be one of the best drops of 2017. Will you be grabbing a pair tomorrow? Or better said, HOW MANY pairs will you be going after?

The Air Jordan 31 Low recently released in a number of ‘PE’ looks for Jordan Brand schools in honor of March Madness, and now the Jordan 31 Low Oreo will be on the way for an April 15th release, showing that the model can be just as stylish off the court as it can be functional while on it.
This isn’t your usual take on the whole cookies and cream theme though, as a pink hue hits the woven toecap in the gradual gradient that eventual leads to an Air Jordan 1 inspired leather heel construction complete with medial side ‘Wings’ branding on the ankle collar. The Jumpman branding is barely visible through matching stitching and an embossed leather tongue logo for a premium finish.
