The Air Jordan 11 Low UNC won’t be the only Air Jordan 11 retro releasing Summer 2017 paying tribute to Michael Jordan’s past. Everyone knows Michael Jordan as the GOAT basketball player with the GOAT signature sneaker line, but MJ did take a hiatus away from the sport he dominated to try his hand at baseball. That’s where this Air Jordan 11 Low Barons colorway comes in, to remind you that even though one of Mike’s greatest signature sneakers came after his first retirement, we can still remember his Birmingham Barons stint fondly.

The Air Jordan 11 Low Barons will be available in both adult and kids’ size runs this Summer 2017 season featuring a premium all-black upper with hints of Metallic Silver throughout. The Air Jordan 11 “72-10” comes to mind here with the combination of a clean white midsole and solid white outsole unit while the patent leather mudguard features a premium pre-cracked aesthetic with iridescent touches for a look we haven’t seen before. What do you think of the look?

Check out more detailed shots of the Air Jordan 11 Low Barons below and head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates page for an updated look at the Jumpman’s coming 2017 schedule.

Tar Heel fans, rejoice. Jordan Brand loves paying tribute to Michael Jordan’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina, with shoutouts to the school in the form of University Blue accents on a number of Jordan retros in years past. Now the Air Jordan 11 Low UNC is finally returning in retro this summer.

The summertime is always when the Air Jordan 11 Low thrives, and the Air Jordan 11 Low UNC will return at the perfect time, over 16 years after the patent leather gem featuring Columbia Blue debuted at retailers in 2001. A little bit has changed since =the original, as an updated blue tint can be expected to hit the icy outsole unit to match the UNC shade on the mudguard. Of course, this year’s rendition comes with a slight alteration in the particular shade of blue, as the original “Columbia Blue” is now known as “University Blue”. Are you excited about the return of the Air Jordan 11 Low UNC?

We gave you a first look at the Jordan Super.Fly 5 PO earlier this month. We mentioned that this new model is a playoff (PO) version of the currently existing Jordan Super.Fly 5. Today we have more images of the shoe along with another new colorway to share with you.

The Jordan Super.Fly 5 PO is said to be an “Elite” version of the Super.Fly 5. Upgrades/modifications on the shoe include the Air Jordan 20-inspired midfoot strap housing the giant Jumpman noted on the medial side. Another new feature on the shoe is the patent leather mudguards equipped with hard-to-see elephant print. The two colors above shoe the shoe comes in White and Black or Black and Gold. Other notable features on the shoe include the additional Jumpman branding on the outsole, heel pull tab and lateral side of the heel, while the tonal branding on the tongue appears to be inspired by the Air Jordan 7. Construction-wise, the shoe is done in mesh, while the sole comes equipped with Zoom Air. Thoughts? Stay tuned to find out when these get a release date.

By now you should have gotten a good look at the Air Jordan 11 Miami Hurricanes PE that Andre Johnson recently shared on his social media. But just in case you has not come across it, here it is!

Jordan Brand athlete and Miami Hurricane Alumni took to his OG to show off this exclusive pair of 11s. He attended to Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando, FL to cheer on the Hurricanes as they took on the West Virginia Mountaineers. As a way to show off his school spirit he decided to bust out his Air Jordan 11 Miami Hurricanes PE done in the school’s colors. A Green leather upper sits on top of a White/Orange sole unit. It’s bold, but it definitely works! Thoughts on the shoe? Let us know in the comments below.

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.

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?
