The post Air Jordan 1 “Royal Satin” appeared first on Sneaker News.

One of the beloved colorways from MJ’s historic lineage with the Air Jordan 1 High Royal, is set to return once again this year following its last release back in 2013.

Essentially a reflective of its original counterpart, the basketball sneaker is draped in its signature two-tone theme of black and varsity royal across its premium leather construction. The vibrant royal theme adorns the toe box, heel, Swooshes on its side panels and outsole, while it’s offset against a crisp white midsole unit. The sneaker?s original design is topped off with the wings logo across its ankles, as well as Nike Air branding on the tongue and outsole.

Retailing for $160, you buy this standout pair at select Nike and JB stockists starting April.

Not only will we see the release of the Air Jordan 12 Low Playoff next week, but also the new Air Jordan 8 Alternate.

The shoe features a white leather upper with small perforations on the overlays. Subtle touches of red and black are then seen on the tongue, inner liner, midsole, heel, branding, and outsole to complete the Bulls theme.

Michael Jordan turned 54 a few days ago. What do you give a man who already has everything? A cake shaped like the Air Jordan 11 of course!

Jordan was celebrating his birthday with Jordan Brand in New Orleans last night and one of his gifts was the Air Jordan 11 Bred (no pun intended) cake you see above. In addition to the sneaker cake, the rest of the cake consisted of Jordan home Chicago Bulls jersey placed on top of the basketball-filled birthday cake. Pretty dope right?

The Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Alternate Royal is the latest colorway of the model to drop. Above you will see the grade-school version of the shoe. Let’s get a closer look.

The Air Jordan 1 Rare Air is a version of the Air Jordan 1 that switches things up by utilizing different type of branding. For starters, the Jumpman on the tongues come with ‘Rare’ and ‘Air’ on them. The heel comes with nice-sized tonal Nike Air branding on it. The Wings branding on the collar is replaced by the ‘AIR JORDAN’. All these subtle changes result in a new ‘feel’ to the shoe. Soar, White and Black is the official colorway, but if you ask me, it looks like a Royal-Fragment creation. This particular pair is the GS version and can now be found at select retailers for $95. Cop?

Over the past few years, Jordan Brand has released most of the Air Jordan 1 High OG colorways we all know and love. So what now? Now that we’ve got everything we’ve wanted, what is there to expect from the Jordan 1 model?

How about a Air Jordan 1 High OG University Red? What you see above is a teaser image of a brand new colorway of the Jordan 1 High. The teaser images do not show the entire shoe, rather just the Wings branding and the Swoosh that appears to be possible made out of a patent leather. It may not be an OG colorway, but it appears to have that look and feel to them, right? No word on when these will be dropping, but early reports suggest that they will do so sometime this Summer with a retail price that we assume would be $160. Does this colorway catch your attention? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
