We’ve all seen Air Jordan 4 Lasers before, right? Well, not quite like this. Nike designer Mark Smith wore these uber-exclusive Air Jordan 4 Lasers at last night’s Fodera Guitars event at Industry City Brooklyn.

Although it does rock the usual Fire Red colorway, it’s the actual laser engraving that differentiates it from the pairs some of us own. If you take a good look at the images above you will see that the laser pattern appears to be done in a deeper fashion, resulting in a more neck-breaking design. It’s being said that the new look of the shoe was actually created by Mark Smith himself. The source who shared the image also notes that only three pairs of this model exist. Mark Smith owns one pair, while Nike CEO Mark Parker and Michael Jordan own the other two. Enjoy this image because this is probably the closest we will ever see them in person.

Is Jordan Brand hinting at their coming “Atmos” Pack with Nike Sportswear through subtle references in their grade school catalog? Only time will tell, but the use of the “Atmos” themed Hyper Jade shade has been rather prevalent for boys and girls retro releases lately.

We’ve seen the look on the Air Jordan 3, the Air Jordan 6, and now this Air Jordan 1 Mid Hyper Jade, available at select international retailers and headed to stateside stores in the near future. The white leather base definitely matches the aforementioned AJ6 more than other teal-featuring retro releases, and this pair even features an enticing option on the classic ‘Wings’ branding, as the high-contrast black features an outline in Hyper Jade.

What do you think of the coming Air Jordan 1 Mid Hyper Jade for boys and girls? Check out more photos below and stay tuned for more release information in the future right here on Sneaker News.

The Air Jordan 4 Motorsport will be returning this year, and it’s a notable pair from JB’s Spring 2017 lineup.

Regarded as an alternate rendition of the AJ 4 Mars that dropped in 2006, the basketball sneaker dons a premium white leather build, while the defining royal blue accents that commemorates MJ?s Motorsports team is prominent across its entirety.

Pops of black are further applied on the midsole unit, heel and lacing apparatus along its collar section to round out its distinctive palette, although, a notably absent detail is the Mars Blackmon branding across its heel.

Priced at $190, this pair debuts at select Nike and JB stockists starting March 26, 2017.

The NBA All-Star starters have been announced and the reserve selections were unveiled last night. While plenty people are arguing and lamenting over potential snubs, there was no denying some of Jordan Brand’s top athletes, as Kawhi Leonard will start for the Western Conference, and triple-double machine Russell Westbrook will come off the bench, each presumably wearing special edition Air Jordan 31 “All-Star” pairs. So what else does Jordan Brand have in store for the star-studded weekend in New Orleans? Today we get a look at the Air Jordan 1 All-Star, a pair featuring chameleon-inspired iridescent panels in a “Black Toe” color-blocking for the perfect combination of both old and new.

The Air Jordan 1 “All-Star” 2017 features a remastered upper complete with ‘Nike Air’ branding on the tongue, an icy outsole for an added twist, with shades of teal, purple, and blue changing depending on where the light hits throughout. We’ve already seen the Air Jordan 6 “All-Star” featuring similar iridescent qualities, so how does the Air Jordan 1 All-Star stack up by comparison? It’s worth noting that the colors seen throughout Jordan Brand’s 2017 All-Star Collection are heavily influenced by the Charlotte Hornets, the team that would be hosting this year’s All-Star festivities before the NBA moved the location due to some political issues regarding anti-LGBT legislation.

The Air Jordan 1 All-Star Chameleon 2017 will release on February 19th, 2017 for $160 USD. Check out a full preview below and stay tuned for more Air Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News.

It looks like Jordan Brand will be releasing yet another Black History Month Collection this year as we get a first look at one of the sneakers from the collection.

Seen above is the Air Jordan 1 High BHM that comes constructed out of a black tumbled leather all throughout the upper. The highlights of this Jordan 1 are the Metallic Gold removable patches on the Swoosh logo, Wings logo, and the two alternate tongue patches that feature a Jumpman or the BHM logo. A black midsole and outsole wrap up the look on this Jordan 1.

The Air Jordan 1 High BHM is currently expected to release on February 11th 2017 for a retail price of $150. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has one of the most unique games in the NBA. Sure, the emphasis might be on his head-scratchingly strange jump shot form, but the second overall selection in the 2012 NBA Draft has earned the reputation of one of the NBA’s best wing defenders through his athleticism, lateral quickness, and length. It’s no surprise that Michael Jordan saw something in the former Kentucky Wildcat, and today MKG doubles as a Jordan Brand athlete who inspires the next wave of performance basketball footwear like the recently released Jordan B. Fly.

I was lucky enough to get the invite to Jordan Brand’s Terminal 23 location in mid-town Manhattan last night to give the Jordan B Fly a test-drive with the help of the Charlotte Hornets’ Kidd-Gilchrist. He honed his skills in New Jersey playing alongside Kyrie Irving at St. Patrick High School, so it’s no mystery as to how he became such a fierce defender given the fact he was going against one of the NBA’s premier offensive talents every day in practice.

What drew MKG to the model was how incredibly lightweight the B Fly is, and that’s the first thing I noticed when slipping the pair on. The simple construction boasts the popular asymmetrical lacing system found in a number of performance hoops shoes today while a seamless knit upper is flexible enough to adjust with the natural motion of your foot. Inspirations range from the Air Jordan 11 on the outsole and the Air Jordan 14 on the heel, but with the woven construction found throughout, the Jordan B Fly takes on a life of its own.

Perhaps the most interesting feature of the silhouette is the updated outsole with weird circular grooves raised higher than normal to interrupt the traction pattern. When paired with the Nike Zoom Air unit in the forefoot and the injected Phylon midsole, the Jordan B Fly boasts an incredibly lightweight ride with just enough cushioning to glide around the court and stop on a dime. If you’re looking for an affordable pair of performance basketball sneakers with a stylish twist, then take the B Fly for a spin. You’ll be surprised by how lightweight and comfortable the offering is all for just $110 USD. Find the Jordan B. Fly in 5 colorways on Nike.com today.

Chicago’s own Don C has stepped out from lifelong friend Kanye West’s shadow to become a bonafide design star in his own right. His Just Don snapback line has grown into apparel collaborations with Mitchell & Ness, and his high profile team-up with Jordan Brand has taken the Air Jordan 2 to an entirely new level through premium quilted leather, suede, and head-turning colorways. Today we get a detailed look at the coming Just Don x Air Jordan 2 “Pink”, slated to release in limited numbers this Spring/Summer 2017 season.

Our detailed look comes from Instagram account S.Sam.Group, as the lifestyle shots show off the trendy shade of pastel pink throughout the Just Don Air Jordan 2 Pink and its luxurious construction. The quilted leather upper features contrasting touches of suede on the midfoot overlay while ‘Nike’ heel branding and ‘Wings’ tongue logos bring a vintage touch. The traditional red is the only other shade on this pair, found hidden on the outsole.

Are you excited about the coming Just Don Air Jordan 2 Pink? Check out the best look at the pair below and stay tuned for a coming Release Date right here on Sneaker News.

Jordan Brand continues to bring new and exciting ideas to the model that started it all in the Air Jordan 1. The “Rare Air” series swapped out the ‘Wings’ logo for a simple Air Jordan branding on the ankle collar while the general releases also introduced swappable velcro tongue patches. It was a surprising additional asset that brought some needed attention to the alternate colorways and you can still find pairs for well under retail. The Jumpman is introducing a similar feature with the coming Air Jordan 1 “BHM”, slated to release on February 11th.

Jordan Brand brings a premium Black/Metallic Gold colorway to this year’s Air Jordan 1 BHM, but perhaps the most interesting asset is the inclusion of removable velcro patches on the Swoosh side panel branding, the iconic ‘Wings’ logos, and the alternating ‘Air’ and ‘BHM’ logos on the tongue. The overall model features a simple all-black tumbled leather, so we’re excited to see what the alternate patches will look like. What do you think of the idea?

Check out the first teaser image of the Air Jordan 1 BHM below and stay tuned for more Air Jordan Release Dates for February 2017 right here on Sneaker News.

Flaunting a pristine creamy off-white finish, the sneaker’s premium leather upper is accentuated with bright red accents gracing the inner lining and portion of the tongue. The defining woodgrain eyelets and miniature branded panels are prominent on the side, while textured leather mimicking woven wood panels are utilized for the overlays across its forefoot and heel tab. Finally, Chinese text of ???? is seen on the tongues, which translates to ?20? ? signifying Jordan Brand?s years of existence in the Chinese market.
