Jordan Brand Takes Over Tennis (Again) With Serena Williams
By SoleInsider
This tennis legend is a huge Michael Jordan fan. Before they would carve out their own path to greatness on the tennis court, they were watching MJ achieve it on the basketball court. Of course, since they were such huge fans of His Airness, they wore Air Jordans when they were kids and when they became Nike athletes. But little did they know that years later they would get a chance to work with Jordan Brand to create a special edition of their signature shoes but with elements taken from their favorite Js. It’s an honor that is reserved for people who can truly lay claim to being the GOAT of their field.
With that being said, was I talking about Serena Williams – who is now one major away from tying Margaret Court for the most singles tennis majors – or was I talking about Roger Federer – who just added to his already record major total by winning the Australian Open this past weekend against longtime rival Rafael Nadal – when it comes to tennis greats who now have at least tangentially, signature Jordan Brand shoes? The answer is both and once again Jordan Brand comes up on top like they always do.
The NikeCourt Flare AJ1 and the Nike Court Zoom Vapor Tour AJ3
In 2014, from seemingly out of nowhere, NikeCourt and Jordan Brand teamed up for the Zoom Vapor Tour AJ3, an amalgamation of Federer’s favorite signature shoe, the Nike Zoom Vapor Tour 9 and the greatest basketball shoe of all-time (IMHO), the Air Jordan 3. Decked out in the iconic White Cement colorway, the Vapor Tour AJ3 was the talk of the sneaker world and had sneakerheads actually tuning in to a first-round US Open tennis match just to catch a glimpse of the shoe and Michael Jordan, who was watching from the stands to show support for a fellow GOAT. Not that it needed it, but the Vapor Tour AJ3 in the White Cement colorway sold out in seconds and a few months later, a Black Cement colorway was met with similar love.
Not since Andre Agassi was on top of the world in Nike Air Tech Challenges have people paid attention to what’s on the feet of a tennis player. It spoke to the crossover appeal that MJ and Jordan Brand have that even though they are outsiders to the sport, they can come in and dominate the conversation like literally no one else in the world can. After that hurdle was passed, who was next in line? Enter Serena…
The synergy was just too good to pass up. In order to break her tie with Steffi Graf for most tennis majors in the Open Era, Serena Williams needed to get to 23. Considering her love for the Air Jordan 1 and how long lead times are for sneakers from concept to realization, Williams’ NikeCourt Flare in the Air Jordan 1 Banned colors had to have been in production for a while now. It was only a matter of time before Nike was going to be able to show them (and that beautiful box) to the world.
Over the next few weeks, we are going to be treated to two colorways of the NikeCourt Flare that pay homage to the Air Jordan 1 and then there will be an Air Jordan 1 with Serena’s logos. Obviously we live in a very different sneaker landscape compared to 2014, but I wouldn’t be surprised if these were some of the biggest releases of the year for Jordan Brand and it’s only January.
Greatness recognizes greatness is Jordan Brand’s strategy when it comes to sports that don’t involve a basketball. They’ve done it twice already with Federer and Serena in tennis, they teamed up with Neymar for a well-received Air Jordan 5 Low (which is an accomplishment in and of itself), and then there are obscene amount of cleated PEs official Jordan athletes like Dez Bryant, Dexter Fowler, and Keegan Bradley get in their respective sports. The only question now is, what’s next?
Well, at least Enzo Amore got to be in the Royal Rumble. I’m sure that spot could have gone to somebody who would have lasted more than a few seconds like Samoa Joe or Finn Balor or Kurt Angle or maybe even Shinsuke Nakamura, but I’ll take Enzo’s cameo along with his Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Gold if only for Corey Graves’ amazing commentary as the Certified G made his way to the ring.
Last night the kickoff to Wrestlemania season got off to a great start as the main event picture started to become just a little bit clearer. The Royal Rumble match put together some match-ups we have never seen before – Goldberg vs. Undertaker being the most noteworthy – and also helped establish some stars who needed that little extra push like Braun Strowman (who was all over the place throughout the event) and Baron Corbin. With two more pay-per-view events left before the big show (not the wrestler), Randy Orton will be vying for a championship, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar will likely resume their feud in earnest, the Undertaker looks like he might have issues with Roman Reigns and John Cena will be in the title picture one way or another.
As is always the case whenever one of the major shows roll around, all of the WWE Superstars bring out their best gear and that includes their kicks. You know that John Cena is always going to represent for the kids and the everyman with his K-Mart Never Give Up sneakers, but check out what some of your favorites were also wearing last night including Enzo’s Jordans, Kofi Kingston’s LeBron Soldiers, Nikki Bella in adidas and more.

You Already Know Dez Bryant Had To Have Exclusive Air Jordan Cleats For The Pro Bowl
By SoleInsider
Although he’d much rather be playing next Sunday, Dez Bryant will make the most of it and get to work today and he looks to lead his team to a Pro Bowl victory in Orlando. Being that he’s a Jordan Brand athlete, you knew it was only right for him to bust out some exclusive footwear, one cleat for practice and the other for the actual game.
Above you will see his practice cleat which is an Air Jordan 9 Low cleat done in an all-White fashion. While the actual in-game Air Jordan 6 Low which he will wear during today’s game comes in bolder fashion as the Blue on the cleat matches the color of the jerseys the NFC team will be wearing. It may be hard to tell, but the Jordan 6 Low cleat appears to come with a tonal elephant print placed all over the upper. Another cool feature is Bryant’s number ’88’ embroidered on the heels. See the cleat in action today at 8 p.m. EST on ESPN.
This Subtle Air Jordan 1 Mid GS Comes With Just Enough Pop To Make It Work
By SoleInsider
Sometimes a little bit goes a long way. Take for example the Air Jordan 1 Mid GS Hyper Jade. Instead of covering the entire upper in a Hyper Jade hue, Jordan Brand opts to take the more subtle route and only use the bold colorway as a way to accent the sneaker. This grade-school exclusive colorway of the Jordan 1 Mid rocks a White leather upper paired up with hits of Black on the lining, outsole and Nike Swoosh. In an effort to make the shoe stand out from past releases, the Jordan 1 Mid also comes with Hyper Jade hits noted on the tongue tag and the outline of the Wings logo on the ankle. Are you a fan of this look? If so, look for the Air Jordan 1 Mid GS Hyper Jade to begin releasing in the near future.
