During 2005, LA-based streetwear label, Undefeated, produced a special rendition of the Air Jordan 4.

In 2017, the Air Jordan 8 will be reinterpreted in a color scheme that is somewhat reflective of the lifestyle imprint’s signature tones, although, this forthcoming pair doesn’t correlate with the Los Angeles brand as previous rumors suggested.

The sneaker’s nubuck-based upper is essentially draped in sequoia green, while black and wolf grey accents are implemented on the rear mudguard, tongue and sole unit. Finally, pops of max orange adorn the chenille Jumpman-branded tongue patch and graphic detailing on the outsole to cap off the respective theme.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I?m a fan of the silhouette, as well as the LA-based brand, and this offering looks pretty solid (pending this is how the real pair will look). Nonetheless, this will obviously get the attention it deserves. Re-sale prices should be pretty high.

A couple of weeks ago Forbes reported that Michael Jordan is the the highest-paid athlete of all-time. But The GOAT isn’t only a wealthy man in the sports world, he’s also filthy rich according to another standard.

A new report by Forbes ranks Michael Jordan as the 4th richest celebrity in America for 2016. According to Forbes, Jordan has an estimated net worth of $1.2 billion. Michael only trails Oprah Winfrey ($2.8 billion), Steven Spielberg ($3.7 billion), and George Lucas ($4.6 billion) on the list. So what’s MJ’s “key source of fortune”? Yeah, you guessed it. Jordan Brand.

The sports world suffered a tragic loss this week as legendary broadcaster/analyst Craig Sager passed away after a long battle with leukemia. While many NBA teams have been honoring him and paying their respects in various ways, basketball wasn’t the only sport that he had an impact on.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate will honor Craig Sager tomorrow by wearing a custom pair of Air Jordan 9 Cleats inspired by one of Sager’s bright and eccentric suits, a quality he was known for. Great gesture by Golden Tate. You will be dearly missed Craig. #SagerStrong
