This forthcoming iteration of the Air Jordan 6 is reminiscent of last year?s Maroon finish, which was previously suggested to be a Hare-inspired colorway. Although, it’s actually an extension of Jordan Brand?s ?Alternate? color scheme for 2017.

Essentially paying tribute to the Chicago Bulls? theme with white, pure platinum and gym red accents covering its entire upper — the basketball sneaker is comprised of premium perforated leather and nubuck underlays.

This variation is also suggested to be the pair that MJ would?ve donned during the 1991 Playoffs, as the year ?1991? is prominent on the tongues. Finally, a translucent outsole rounds out the clean design profile.

Retailing for $190, you can purchase this standout model at select Nike and Jordan Brand retailers starting March 11, 2017.

The post Air Jordan 1 Retro “True Berry” Arrives For Girls appeared first on Sneaker News.

Jordan Brand was fairly straightforward with the inspiration behind the Air Jordan 31 – Michael Jordan’s first signature silhouette served as the blueprint for the design as it’s the first model since the Air Jordan 1 to feature a Nike Swoosh on the side panel while the premium leather touches, original Wings logo, and overall shape are all inspired by Peter Moore’s AJ1 design. The first few colorways to release have all been inspired by iconic Air Jordan 1 colorways, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Air Jordan 1 “Royal” will be referenced atop the Air Jordan XXX1 in the new year.

Today we get a few teaser images of the upcoming Air Jordan 31 Royal slated to arrive at retailers on January 21st for $185 USD. The usual gradient hits the synthetic leather and Flyweave upper as a black heel gives way to a Game Royal shade by the toecap. Vibrant Game Royal accents hit throughout on the Jumpman branding as well. Does this mean that the Air Jordan 1 Royal will be releasing this January as well? We’ll have to wait and find out.

Check out more detailed angles below and stay tuned for more Air Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News.

The post The Original “Royal” Is Coming To The Air Jordan 31 appeared first on Sneaker News.

Jordan Brand has been ramping up their Air Jordan 31 colorways with a number of enticing options to round out the year, and 2017 is already promising for the latest signature model inspired by the AJ1 thanks to the upcoming “Chinese New Year” Collection. While the trio of footwear releases boasts two different Air Jordan 12 options, the Air Jordan 31 Chinese New Year stands out thanks to the implementation of actual bamboo on the heel trim.

The Air Jordan XXX1 has already utilized a number of different material options to go with the futuristic Flyweave construction throughout. Not only did we see patent leather in an effort to mimic the Space Jam 11s, but the Battle Grey option featured a pre-cracked leather in an homage to blacktop hooping. Air Jordan 31 “Chinese New Year” features a clean white to black Flyweave gradient with Pure Platinum Jumpman branding while an icy outsole showcases a bamboo pattern underneath. Team Red Jumpman branding stands out in contrast while the embossed Wings logo is almost camouflaged on the synthetic leather.

The Air Jordan 31 Chinese New Year is slated to arrive January 7th in China while a U.S. release is scheduled for January 28th for $200 USD. (The additional price is due to the premium bamboo on the heel). Check out more detailed photos below and head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for more updates.

I hit up my local mall earlier this week to do some last minute Christmas shopping. I went in to one of the sneaker retailers and came across the Air Jordan 1 Ultra High for the first time. I had written about it in the past, but this was the first time I had seen them in person. Let’s just say, I was impressed. Although I did not get to try them on, the bootie construction and materials used on the upper were both a breath of fresh air on a Jordan Brand classic. The fact that it was done in a Bred colorway was also a plus. Now I’m not saying this is better than actual Jordan 1 Breds, I’m just saying that I wouldn’t be opposed to adding these to the rotation, and you shouldn’t either. Out now, pick up a pair from your select retailers for $150.
