Jordan Brand went to work all of 2016 when it came to the number of releases they managed to come out with. With close to a week left in 2016, Jordan Brand has only a few more releases up their sleeve. One of those drops happens to be the Air Jordan 6 Black Cat.

Set to release on December 30th for $190, this colorway of the Air Jordan 6 is done in an all-Black leather upper accompanied by the large perforations placed throughout that result in plenty of ventilation. Also worth mentioning is that the perforations come with a reflective element to increase visibility in low-light conditions when exposed to flash. White accents are noted on the midsole and Jumpman branding, while a little bit of Navy Blue is noted on the outsole.

The biggest (and most expensive) release of the day was without a doubt the Air Jordan 11 Suede. If you took the time to read this week’s Buy, Pass, Wait, you would know that the shoe was priced too high for my taste. Regardless of what I thought about the shoe, it seems many of you liked tis premium version of the Air Jordan 11 enough to pick up a pair for $400. As you all know by now, the shoe pretty much sold out virtually everywhere. Which leads me to my next question: were you happy with the $400 pick up? Does the shoe live up to its price tag? Are you satisfied with your purchase? Sound off in the comments below and let us know what you think about the Air Jordan 11 Suede.

The Air Jordan 11 Suede may have sold out, but the Air Jordan 1 High OG Storm Blue is still up for grabs. Not really sure why it’s still sitting but I find it kind of amazing being that it’s an OG colorway with OG Nike Air branding on it. Many people decided to overlook these for whatever reason, but in my opinion, the more I got to see of the shoe, the more I learned to appreciate this unloved Air Jordan 1 colorway. Head on over to your local retailer or pick up a pair online right now and add these to your dope collection of Jordan 1s for the retail price of $160. Did you decide to pick up a pair? Were you happy with your purchasing decision? Let us know in the comments below.

The return of the Jordan Son Of Mars was not just a one and done. As a matter of fact, we got more colorways of Jordan Brand’s hybrid model on the way. First up is this Navy and Yellow offering, let’s get a closer look at the shoe by way of the shoe’s official images.

The Jordan Son Of Mars comes in a Navy leather upper accented by the Yellow accented on the branding, heel pull tab and part of the shoe. Elephant print is used on both the heel and toe, while the White hits on the midsole clean things up a bit. The Grey Jordan tongue, laser-designed strap and tonal laces round out the look of the shoe. No word on when these will drop, but as we hear something we will let you know. Are you a fan of the model? Let us know if you even care that Jordan Brand decided to bring these back.

If you still need to check a name or two off your list then Jordan Brand is giving you the opportunity to do so with a new retro release.

A couple years back, Jordan Brand had some fun remembering some of Michael Jordan’s greatest rivals in their ongoing “Familiar Foes” Collection that was highlighted by a Dominique Wilkins-inspired Air Jordan 1 “Human Highlight Reel” colorway. Another Eastern Conference rival was Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers, a team that gave Mike some trouble throughout his later seasons.

Today we get a look at the Jordan Son of Mars, a pair that will debut in a number of new colorways come Spring 2017. This Pacers-esque vibe features a unique combination of slate blue and varsity yellow while a traditional cement grey Elephant Print highlights the toecap and heel. The mid-foot strap even switches things up thanks to a shiny metallic Spiz’ike print to contrast more grey on the Air Jordan 5-inpsired tongue.

What do you think of the Jordan Son of Mars Pacers colorway? Check out more detailed shots below and head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for an updated look at all of the 2017 coming attractions from the Jumpman.

The Air Jordan 12 had a stellar year on the retro release calendar. Not only did Jordan Brand bring back the Flu Games and French Blues, but they also managed to revamp the silhouette with OVO Drake collaborations and that extremely limited Wings offering alongside . Now Jordan Brand is returning to the model with the Jordan Trainer Prime, a brand new training model that doesn’t hide the fact that it’s inspired by the retro 1997 silhouette.

The Jordan Trainer Prime features that Flight Flex groove pattern on the outsole unit for the flexibility to move and cut in all directions while a dual-density midsole provides maximum cushioning and comfort. The upper is where things get truly interesting though, as the Air Jordan 12 inspiration shines thanks to a mesh upper with similar grooves throughout while an asymmetrical mudguard comprised of synthetic tape and fuse mimics the shape of the iconic retro. Underlying Dynamic Flywire adds lockdown support while Jumpman branding hits the heel. Even the ‘Two-3’ tongue branding returns. What do you think of the Jordan Trainer Prime’s inspiration? Check out more detailed photos below and be on the lookout for a release on Nike.com in the near future.

The Air Jordan 1 “Banned” was one of the best releases of 2016. It’s a shoe that’s credited with starting the modern sneaker industry as we know it today, and while Jordan Brand gave us all plenty of opportunities to purchase a pair, not everyone was able to land the coveted Banned Jordan 1s. That’s why the Air Jordan 1 Ultra Banned would be the perfect consolation prize for anyone looking to fill the void of having the classic black and red Air Jordan 1. Sure, it’s not a traditional look by any means with the woven ankle support, new slip-on neoprene ankle collar, and stitched on outline of the iconic Swoosh branding, but it’s interesting and available enough to consider.

The Air Jordan 1 Ultra Banned features a winterized wool upper with a Jacquard-like tooling on the toebox and heel while the traditional ‘Wings’ branding is stitched into place. Boot-like eyelets and rope laces add a winter-inspired takedown of the Air Jordan 1 Banned. Check out more images of this Air Jordan 1 Ultra Banned below and know that select retailers like Politics have this pair today. You can also find sizes on Nike.com.
