With the Air Jordan 13 Black Cat set to debut next month, official imagery of the silhouette in toddler sizing has released, as reports indicate that it’ll be offered in full family sizing (GS, PS, TD, Crib) as well.

Essentially taking cues from the black panther, the sneaker inherits a stealthy black finish across its entire upper with 3M reflective detailing evident throughout. The respective theme is further evident on the insoles with a graphic, while the circular hologram on the heel and outsole simply mimics the panther?s eye with a greenish hue.

In addition, slight glossy accents are applied on its matching rubber sole unit to finish off the understated makeup.

Adult sizes are listed at $190 and the release date is set for January 21, 2017.

The composition bears enlarged perforations to promote sufficient ventilation throughout, while the perforated portion also inherits a reflective element to increase its visibility in low-lit conditions.

Pristine white accents are applied across the midsole unit and Jumpman logo on the outsole, while more branding is seen on the heel via an embroidery.

Priced at $190, GS pairs will be offered as well and retail for $140.

Blake Griffin may be sidelined with injury for the better part of the regular season, but there’s no denying that Blake will return to elite form by the time that the playoffs roll around, just in time for the Clippers to make a serious run. Blake has been rocking the Jordan Super.Fly 5 throughout the season, but the annual ‘Elite’ like style known as the PO (Playoffs) is right around the corner. Jordan Brand is bringing more experimentation than ever to the model with the Jordan Super.Fly 5 PO as an Air Jordan XX-inspired midfoot strap alters the upper as well as patent leather mudguards with faint hints of cracked Elephant Print and a larger than life Jumpman branding on the medial side.

Today we get a look at two upcoming Jordan Super Fly 5 PO colorways for the Spring 2017 season. An OVO-esque combination of Black/Metallic Gold shows that the performance model may even have some lifestyle appeal thanks to touches of metallic gold on the branding and lace eyelets while the tongue displays embossed ‘Air Jordan’ branding similar to that found on the Air Jordan 7 retro. A bolstered mesh upper and Zoom Air midsole provide modern tech specs to hold down your hooping news. Also available will be a standard White/Black pair for a clean option.

Check out more detailed shots of Blake Griffin’s upcoming playoff model below and let us know what you think of the latest Super.Fly silhouette by taking your thoughts to our comments section.

Andre Johnson may be retired, but this Jordan athlete is leaving the entire league in the dust with his PEs. The Miami Hurricanes alumni is currently at the Russell Athletic Bowl wearing an Air Jordan 11 PE in the school’s distinctive green and orange hues, with a tumbled leather upper reminding us of last year’s Air Jordan 11 “72-10”. These will likely never release at retail (nor will any Jordan x Miami shoe be released due to the school’s affiliation with adidas), but now that Jordan Brand has re-released every original Air Jordan 11 colorway ad nauseum, who knows? Check out the full shot of Johnson’s PE below.

Jordan Brand will be releasing yet another Chicago/Bulls-themed colorway of the Air Jordan 31.

Taking a similar but different approach as the Chicago colorway, this Air Jordan 31 features White on the majority of the Flyweave upper with hits of Black landing on the toe, Swoosh and Jumpman logos, inner liner, and the midsole. Like with most pairs, leather is seen on the ankle area of this 31 while a white midsole and an icy blue and red outsole wrap up the look.

You can look for the Air Jordan 31 Bulls at select Jordan Brand retailers beginning on January 7, 2017 for a retail price of $185.

Jordan Brand is bringing the correct heat to the green with the release of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High Golf Shoe. We first saw a similar sample leaked by MJ’s son Marcus, but with official images now live, it appears that a release is near – potentially closer to late Spring. This familiar “Chicago” colorway has some differences from the basketball original, like the “Nike” Wings logo, the larger Jumpman on the tongue, and of course, the new outsole fit for the green. A white/grey colorway will also release in the coming months.

A release date for the Air Jordan 1 Golf Shoe hasn’t been confirmed yet, but stay tuned to our Jordan Release Dates page for the latest.

Jordan Brand had a hell of a year when it came to the “quantity” of sneakers they manages to release throughout the entire year. Instead of taking the final weekend of the year off, they decided to pump out one more release before the year comes to a close.

The Air Jordan 6 Black Cat is the newest colorway gracing the upper of Jordan’s 6th signature shoe. As the name of the shoe suggests, the entire shoe is done in a Black leather upper which happens to be covered in heavy perforations. Also worth mentioning is the fact that the perforations are the gateway to the reflective hits placed on the underlay. Hits of White break up the tonal look as they’re placed on parts of the midsole and outsole. All the branding on the upper comes in Black, while the Jumpman on the outsole opts to come in White. Releasing on December 31st, adult sizes will be priced at $190 and GS pairs will go for $140. Will these be your last Jordan Brand purchase of 2016? Or are these an easy pass?

Say hello to the last Jordan retro release of 2016 and to the New Year all at once with the freshly minted Black Cat Air Jordan 6 now available at retailers for $190 USD.

The Air Jordan 6 “Black Cat” takes that sought after all-black-everything look to task on one of Michael Jordan’s most popular retro models, but with a little lifestyle twist throughout thanks to premium micro-perforated black leather, underlying 3M reflective accents, and a white midsole stripe. The Black Cat Jordan 6 follows a busy December 2016 release schedule and manages to stand out on its own for its simplicity and quality craftsmanship that isn’t too exclusive to own either. An official Black Cat logo even hits the insole for for a unique twist while 3M accents also land on the laces.

If you’re a fan of the Air Jordan 6, then the Air Jordan 6 Black Cat is the perfect way to end your 2016 sneaker collection. What do you think of the look? You can grab your pair right now on eBay, on Nike.com, and the selected retailers below.

Making its debut this weekend will be the Air Jordan 6 Black Cat. Defined by it all-black leather upper, this Air Jordan 6 has been hit with large perforations on the toe and side panels to differentiate it from other black Air Jordan 6s of the past. Subtle white detailing along with 3M hits on the upper and laces complete the look on this Jordan retro that arrives at retailers on December 31st 2016. Retail price for the men’s pair will be $190.

In 2017 we’ll see the return of the Air Jordan 13 in a handful of colorways that include the OG Chicago pair and a new Black Cat rendition.

In order to get us ready for the upcoming retro releases, Jordan Brand has just released a couple of pairs of new slides that match up perfectly with the sneakers. Granted right now isn’t the best time for slides, but you can buy both the Chicago and Black Cat Hydros now and store them away until the Spring/Summer when the sneakers drop.

Both pairs are available now at select Jordan Brand retailers for $58. Are you more excited about the Black Cat or Chicago 13s?

The Jordan Brand calendar ends on December 31st with the drop of the Air Jordan 6 Black Cat (JB is just calling it Black from the looks of things). Originally believed to just be an all-black take on the classic silhouette, the actual release is a little bit different than that. Perforated upper, reflective elements, dark blue translucent outsole, white accents all change the look up so much that many are having a hard time toning down their expectations. What looked like it should have been a slam dunk release to end the year is now a sad whimper that’s not unlike a cat expressing their displeasure. Batman would not be pleased, to say the least.

Here’s a look at the Air Jordan 6 Black Cat remade in the NBA 2K17. Obviously putting perforations on the upper and adding reflective accents was never going to happen, but the most glaring difference is the midsole speckle that is spread throughout the bottom. If you change the color of the speckle to white, it messes up one part and vice versa. My guess is most people would prefer a Black Cat 6 without the perforations.

Now just for fun – and wishful thinking – here’s the Black Cat 6 that I’m guessing most people would have preferred made it to stores. All Black Everything, just like Batman.

After defeating the Chicago Bulls on Christmas Day 119-100, Kawhi Leonard of the San Antonio Spurs was spotted wearing some pretty crazy Air Jordans.

“The Claw” is seen in the picture above wearing a gold pair of Air Jordan 11s that has been completely covered in gold all throughout the upper, including the patent leather, laces, and even the branding. The only contrast comes with a white midsole and icy blue translucent outsole.

Do you like these 11s better than the all-gold Air Jordan 12s that Kawhi was spotted with earlier this Summer?
