While we’ve already seen the AJ 9, AJ 6 and even an exclusive rendition of the AJ 11 transformed into a golf cleat, the iconic Air Jordan 1, more than 30 years after its initial debut, is now reinvented for the golf course.

With Michael Jordan known to be an advocate for the sport as well, interestingly, Michael started his interest in golf during 1984, the exact same year Nike started to develop the Air Jordan 1.

This limited offering essentially stays true to the silhouette’s iconic profile, although, with a few notable changes, such as extra padding to provide additional comfort and support around the ankle, Jumpman logo on the tongue, a fully waterproof upper and a Nike Free-inspired outsole with soft spikes which adds more depth to the overall profile.

You can purchase this exclusive silhouette in two colorways (white/black/varsity red and white/metallic silver) starting this Friday, Feb. 10th at select Nike and JB retailers, as well as online.

The Air Jordan 5 Take Flight is simply a new premium rendition of the classic basketball sneaker, which is inspired by the classic AJ 9 Olive and the classic P51 flight bomber jacket.

Elevated with more lifestyle appeal, the model bears militaristic flair via its sequoia green finish throughout its sleek leather upper, while tan leather tongues add luxe appeal. Another notable highlight consists of the traditional mesh netting on the sides panels being more refined in a minimalist finish. Finally, icy translucent outsoles round out the sleek design.

Furthermore, the sneaker will come in a special dust bag and box that features a shark mouth graphic ? a design element that was prominent on vintage military fighter planes — to go perfectly with its respective theme.

Due to its premium makeover, the silhouette will retail for $400. You can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike stockists starting Saturday, February 11, 2017.

Russell Westbrook is putting up ridiculous numbers this season as his MVP-worthy season continues (unless James Harden has something to say about that). While he’s currently the face of Jordan Brand, the explosive superstar has NOT been wearing the Air Jordan 31 this season.

Instead he has opted to wear a special shoe that is being referred to as the Air Jordan 30.5. The shoe uses the Flyweave upper of the Air Jordan 31, but pairs it up with the sole unit of the Jordan 30. It has been reported that Westbrook prefers the sole unit/cushioning of the Jordan 30 over the 31 which is why this custom version was made exclusively for him. Russ was recently spotted at practice wearing a new white and blue colorway that pairs up nicely with the OKC uniforms. His “RW” logo is also seen on the tongue for that PE touch.

Blake Griffin has been championing the Jordan Super.Fly series for almost a half-decade now, and the latest Jordan Super.Fly 5 received a playoff-ready update a little earlier than expected this year, complete with a completely overhauled upper with a new midfoot strap for added lockdown support. The latest Jordan Super.Fly 5 PO colorway only matches one playoff-destined team, though, as the “Purple Dynasty” look features a shade similar to the alternate jerseys of Michael Jordan’s own franchise: the Charlotte Hornets.

While the Hornets are currently battling the Bucks and Bulls for an Eastern Conference Playoffs spot in a surprisingly competitive Eastern Conference this year, perhaps the Jordan Super.Fly 5 PO Purple Dynasty will help give the squad an extra push. The Super.Fly 5 PO first caught our attention with an OVO-themed Black/Metallic Gold colorway, but there’s more than just the color choices that have changed. A patent leather-like midfoot strap and mudguard features a bold Jumpman branding on the medial side while cracked elephant print adds a touch of luxury.

What do you think of the latest Jordan Super.Fly 5 PO? Check out more detailed shots below and grab your pair a little early from select retailers like Renarts for $140 USD before more colorways pop up on Nike.com.

We’re exactly one week away from the release of the Air Jordan 1 High BHM 2017. Which leads to my next question: How many of you are looking to get a pair?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of the Black and Gold color scheme, but the fact that Jordan Brand decided add removable velcro patches on the Nike Swoosh, Wings logo, and alternate Jumpman and BHM logos on the tongues makes me feel kind of antsy. Sure, it sounds like a cool “think outside the box” idea, but what happens when you accidentally lose one of the velcro pieces? You end up with a Jordan 1 with velcro as branding. As far as the rest of the shoe goes, it’s really simple and clean as a Black tumbled leather upper is placed on top of a Black rubber midsole. If you have more courage than I do, you will be able to pick up a pair of the Air Jordan 1 High BHM 2017 on February 11th for $150. Who’s copping?
