The OVO Air Jordan 12 “Black” is finally releasing at select retailers for the NBA’s All-Star Weekend on February 18th, 2017 for $225 USD. We’ve seen a number of original Drake x Jordan Brand collaborations release featuring a dedication to luxurious quality with bolstered materials like suede and stingray leather, but the Jumpman teased the final Air Jordan 12 collaboration for quite some time.

The OVO Jordan 12 Black furthers Jordan Brand’s lifestyle aspirations through a collaboration with arguably the biggest hip-hop star on the planet in Drake. His October’s Very Own imprint gets a nod throughout the collaboration through a unique Metallic Gold owl logo on the insole, but this murdered-out pair takes a different approach when compared to past OVO Jordans. (You can catch a detailed look at early samples of the Jordan 12 OVO Black here.) The streetwear ready take on the Jordan 12 benefits from stingray leather on the mudguard with a caviar-like texture while a smokey outsole unit adds some transparency for a unique twist.

Check out more detailed shots of the coming OVO Jordan 12 Black below and head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for an updated look at Jordan Brand’s February retro release slate. More information to come regarding availability in the near future.

Usually, when you think University of North Carolina PEs, you’ll immediately imagine that original shade of light blue paired with white. It’s a colorway that Michael Jordan imagined wearing in the NBA even despite the Chicago Bulls’ iconic red and black uniforms, and it’s a sought after aesthetic for how clean it looks. Today we get a look at a completely different UNC player exclusive, though, as this special edition Air Jordan 31 “Coaches vs. Cancer” PE was made in collaboration with the American Cancer Society and National Association of Basketball Coaches. Together, the duo has helped raise over $100 million to help the American Cancer Society’s mission of finding a cure through awareness and advocacy.

The Air Jordan 31 Coaches vs Cancer PE features a unique maroon and gold colorway to completely contrast the Tar Heels’ usual light blue and navy accents. It’s unknown if this colorway was made to honor the late Jim Valvano, a legendary coach at North Carolina State University who lost his life to cancer after leading his team to an improbable 1983 NCAA Championship, given NC State’s matching uniform colors. There is a hint of UNC’s Tar Heel cosign on this pair in the form of bold ‘Carolina’ branding on the icy outsole. Expect the Tar Heels to wear this pair in their upcoming matchup against the Virginia Tech Hokies this Thursday, January 26th at 8PM on ESPN.

Ok, help me out here. Is this the 3rd Pink Air Jordan 1 we’ve gone over these last couple of weeks? First was the Serena Williams pair, then came the Vivid Pink pair, now we got this latest one currently known as the Air Jordan 1 GS GG Valentines Day. I guess love is in the air! Ha!

The Air Jordan 1 GS GG Valentines Day may look kind of familiar since it happens to use the same color blocking as the Black Toe. The only difference is swapping out the Red for Hyper Pink. The shoe comes constructed out of leather. Features worth mentioning are the reflective rear panel, and the heart-shaped basketball logo taking the place of the Jumpman branding on the heel. Said to be releasing in girl’s sizing (GS GG), you can expect to see these drop around Valentine’s Day (February 11th). Who’s picking up a pair?
