After months of waiting, the Air Jordan 4 Royalty has finally hit retailers this morning.

For some added contrast, Jordan Brand has decided to place white on the midsole/outsole finishing things off.

When’s the last time Jordan Brand dropped an Air Jordan 4 that wasn’t a $4000 premium/Pinnacle version? You’d have to go all the way back to March of last year when the Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above was released. In other words, it’s been a cool minute.

That’s soon about to change as the brand new Air Jordan 4 Royalty is set to make its debut tomorrow! Releasing for the first time ever, this version of the Jordan 4 comes in a Black nubuck upper accented beautifully by the Metallic Gold hits on the eyelets, branding on the tongue and on the heel by way of the Jumpman logo. A nice premium touch to the shoe is the leather heel tab. Adding sharp contrast is the White midsole unit paired up with the Black outsole.

The Air Jordan 4 Royalty will release in sizes for the entire family. Prices are as follows: adult sizing retailing for $190 and GS, PS and TD sizes are listed at $140, $80 and $60 respectively.

The shoe drops tomorrow at select Jordan Brand retailers such as BSTN. Is this a must cop in your opinion?

Jordan Brand had success last week with the release of the Air Jordan 8 Take Flight and they hope to do the same with this Alternate pair.

Making its debut this year, the Air Jordan 8 Take Flight is a tribute to an unreleased variation which didn?t make it into production when the Bugs Bunny pair released in 1993. The shoe utilizes a leather upper in a Chicago Bulls?-inspired color scheme of white, black and red. Perforation detailing is then seen on the overlays and side panels. The chenille Jumpman logo on the tongue uses a combination of all three colors while “1993” has been added on the heel.

Releasing on February 25th for $190, will you be picking up this new colorway of the Jordan 8?

The next colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air is beginning to arrive at select Jordan Brand retailers. If you weren’t feeling the Max Orange colorway, maybe this Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Shadow suits your style a bit better.

The official colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air Shadow has the model done in a Cool Grey, Black and White leather upper that mimic (sort of?) the look of the OG Shadow colorway sans the White paneling. The version of the Jordan 1 gets its Rare Air name due to the alternative branding such as the Nike Air on the heel and Air Jordan on the collar. A Jumpman on the tongue, White midsole and Grey outsole complete OG-inspired look of the shoe. Are you feeling this version of the Jordan 1? If so, you can now find these at select retailers for $140.

Jordan Brand already has big plans for the NBA All-Star Weekend festivities, but what happens after that celebratory break in the NBA schedule passes? Most teams hunker down and get serious about their respective playoff pushes or get rid of assets in hopes of tanking before the NBA Draft. Jordan Brand is gearing up for the post-season with one of the more iconic original colorways of the Air Jordan 12 returning, only this time in low-top remastered form.

The Air Jordan 12 Low “Playoffs” featuring that simple combination of black tumbled leather, a white mudguard and small hints of Chicago-inspired Varsity Red will release on February 25th, 2017 for $170 USD for the perfect combination of old and new. While we’d love to see a true and through Air Jordan 12 “Playoffs” retro, seeing the iconic colorway in low form is definitely something we can get behind.

These first retail images come courtesy of Jimmy Jazz and showcase the Metallic Silver lace eyelets, traditional heel branding, and carbon fiber on the outsole. What do you think? Check out more shots below and stay tuned for more Air Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News.

You might not notice by looking at this simple Chicago-themed Air Jordan 8, but it’s not an original colorway of Mike’s unique dual-strapped eighth signature model. Only three colorways made up the original 1993 release slate of the AJ8 ranging from the Bugs Bunny-inspiration, the lauded Aqua theme, and a Playoff variation.

Times were simpler back then, before the days of the infinite colorways hitting the release slate and trickling down to the sales section. That’s what we love about Jordan Brand’s ongoing “Alternate Collection” – they’ve been creating colorways that Mike could’ve worn on-court with the Air Jordan 2, Air Jordan 4, and Air Jordan 5 Low. This Air Jordan 8 “Alternate” will hit retailers on February 25th, 2017 rounding out a fairly busy schedule for Jordan Brand’s February 2017.

The Air Jordan 8 Alternate features a simple white leather upper, additional micro-perforations on the side panels, updated Metallic Red accents on the premium strap adjustments, and a stark contrast on that bold 90s midsole pattern. Jordan Brand splashes the heel tab with ‘1993’ in a nod to the year the shoe was created while the inner tongue lining matches that unique midsole pattern. What do you think of the Alternate 8s? Check out more retail photos courtesy of Finish Line below and head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for more updates.

If you thought that the Air Jordan 12 releases would end with the Chinese New Year Collection then think again. In three weeks the popular silhouette will be returning yet again but in low top fashion.

Jordan Brand will close out the month of February with the release of the Air Jordan 12 Low in the Playoff colorway. This OG colorway takes on a full leather upper with black dominating most of the shoe and white landing on the medial and lateral mudguards, as well as on the outsole. Red branding on the tongue and heel finish off the look on this pair of 12 Lows that releases on February 25th for $170. Will you cop or drop? Let us know in the comments below.

Jordan Brand sponsored school, University of North Carolina just unveiled their latest Jordan Brand exclusives. What you see above is the Jordan Super.Fly.5 PO and Air Jordan 31 done in the school’s team colors consisting of Carolina Blue and White. The Player exclusives has the Jordan 31 done in a gradient motif, while the Super.Fly.5 PO. comes with school branding on the midfoot strap to offset the all-White look. I don’t see these PEs releasing to the public in the near future (or at all), but if they did, how many UNC fans would be down to pick up a pair? Let us know in the comments below.

A couple of years ago, University of Louisville head coach Rick Pitino said that Nike schools boast a serious recruiting advantage over say, his adidas sponsored Cardinals. That might’ve changed given the recent Yeezy developments, but it’s hard not to agree with the legendary coach when you see all of the sweet gear that the UNC Tar Heels boast throughout the season. Today we get a look at two brand new UNC PEs ranging from a fresh Carolina Blue gradient on the Air Jordan 31 and a boldly branded Jordan Super.Fly 5 PO featuring a clean white upper with the Tar Heels’ crest on the brand new midfoot strap overlay. Which pair are you feeling? Check out more detailed shots below and stay tuned for more updates right here on Sneaker News.

Call it what you like: the Air Jordan 13 OG, the Air Jordan 13 White Red, the Air Jordan 13 Cherry. Regardless of nicknames and monikers, the original Air Jordan 13 colorway will be returning just in time for the NBA’s All-Star Weekend festivities with a full family size run slated to release on February 18th, 2017.

We’ve seen a number of new colorways land on the Air Jordan 13 in recent years, but there’s nothing like a classic. We first got word that this pair would be returning around Christmas time, when the Jumpman through this pair in as the inspiration behind Jordan Brand’s signature roster’s PE inspirations. While the “Bred” and “Playoff” pairs will also be returning later this year, we’re definitely excited that the Jordan 13 OG will be one of the marquee pairs for February 2017.

Are you excited about the return of the Air Jordan 13 OG? Check out more detailed shots courtesy of FICE Gallery below and stay tuned regarding where to buy this pair right here on Sneaker News.
