After a big year for the Air Jordan 1 in 2016 which saw the bringback of a number of OG looks as well as coveted new colorways like the second “Shattered Backboard” colorway, it looks like Jordan Brand doesn’t have plans to stop production of the legendary silhouette any time soon. We already know that the much-loved “Royal” colorway is returning in 2017, and we’ve recently learned that two new all-white and all-black colorways with perforated leather details are arriving early next year.

As we await to see what else Jordan Brand has in store for the Air Jordan 1 High, today we get a closer look at the black-out colorway, that almost goes “Triple Black” except for the white outsole and alternate white laces. Take a good look at all the details of the colorway, including perforated heel and toe panels, the leather tongue tag with embossed Nike Air logo, and embossed “wings” logo, and keep your eyes on Sneaker News for a US release date of the new-look Air Jordan 1.

The Air Jordan 3 is set to make its official debut in a lifestyle makeover, consisting of a new woolen composition, which was also implemented on the previous AJ 12 that released on October.

Essentially a winter essential, the basketball sneaker incorporates the defining cohesive textile fiber construction across its upper, which simply enables more thermal insulation throughout. Complementing and capping off the simplistic design is a sail white rubber sole unit, while notable details include Jumpman embroideries on the heel and tongue.

Priced at $200, the sneaker will be offered in GS sizing as well and listed for $150. You can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike stockists starting tomorrow, Saturday, December 17th.

Shadows, Breds, Royals & Chicagos. Those are without a doubt the most loved OG colorways of the Air Jordan 1. Although I tend agree with that, one OG that should warrant more love and attention is the Air Jordan 1 High OG Storm Blue. The more pictures I see, the more I feel like they need to be a part of my collection. It’s such a simple colorway with a classic color scheme. The shade of Blue is just right and it blends in nicely with the White base of the shoe. Add in the Nike Air branding and you’ve got yourself a true OG Air Jordan 1 that should not be slept on. The shoe will release in a little bit over a week, if you’re sleeping on these, I suggest you wake up and take a look at the beauty that is the Air Jordan 1 High OG Blue Storm. Release date is December 23. Retail price is $160.

The Air Jordan 1 continues to get overhauled in a number of new materials and constructions, but there’s still nothing like a classic. While we’re still waiting for the Royal 1s to return in 2017, but if you’re still looking for that iconic lifestyle colorway, then why not try the freshly minted Air Jordan 1 Ultra High Royal now available at select retailers for $150 USD.

The Air Jordan 1 Ultra High Royal is a brand new winterized form of Michael Jordan’s legendary first signature silhouette with a wool upper showcasing a knit construction on the toecap and ankle support for a unique new aesthetic. The lace eyelets are now bolstered with additional metal while the most jarring change comes in the form of a new neoprene slip-on ankle support system with high-arching tongue and heel tabs. It’s not a pair that you’re likely to hoop in, but the Jordan 1 Ultra High Royal could be perfect for lifestyle use.

Check out more detailed shots below and be on the lookout for availability from shops like Politics and Nike.com.

Introducing the first release of Jordan Brand’s 2017 calendar, the Jordan Son of Mars “Black Cat”. By now you’ve already decided on whether you’re going to go after the premium style of the Air Jordan 6 “Blck Cat”, a new take on the classic 1991 retro featuring additional perforations, reflective 3M touches, and a new smoky black outsole unit perfect for a minimalist way to stunt in throughout 2017. This Jordan Brand hybrid takes a similar approach thanks to touches of Black, Anthracite, and Metallic Silver, but accomplishes everything in a different way thanks to a pattern-heavy splash of elephant print throughout.

For the uninitiated, the Jordan Son of Mars takes elements from some of Michael Jordan’s most famous retro models that had the added bonus of the world’s perfect salesman: Spike Lee’s Mars Blackmon character. The Son of Mars combines the Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 4, Air Jordan 5, and Air Jordan 6 with an aggressive midfoot strap for a change of pace. This “Black Cat” look features elephant print on the toe, heel, and strap to add more texture while micro-perforations hit the mudguard and the Air Jordan 4’s mesh cage helps ventilate the tongue. A Metallic Silver shark teeth from the Air Jordan 5 livens things up while an icy outsole adds a clean finish. You can grab this pair on January 1st, 2017 for $160 USD, but be sure to head over to our Air Jordan Release Dates for more info.

Jordan Brand’s retro release slate is coming to a close with a couple more major releases before the end of 2016. Not only are we going to get a premium Air Jordan 11 Suede, but a new colorway of the Air Jordan 6 featuring a luxurious leather upper with additional micro-perforations and touches of 3M is headed to retailers on December 30th, 2016. We’re talking about the coveted Air Jordan 6 “Black Cat” of course, as Mike’s 1991 signature model gets a lifestyle overhaul thanks to a black on black upper, bold new ventilation throughout and touches of 3M to match the last Infrared retro for a bit of traditionalism.

The Air Jordan 6 Black Cat takes that trendy “Triple Black” aesthetic to task as 3M reflective details liven up the laces and ankle support for a hidden flash. Contrasting white midsole stripes are the only non-black touch here to highlight the aggressive wavy lines on this Tinker Hatfield classic. The outsole unit even comes equipped with a new smoky translucence that we’d love to see more often. What do you think of the Air Jordan 6 Black Cat? Be sure to head on over to our always-updated Air Jordan Release Dates page for a look at what’s to come for Jordan Brand in the near future. And if you can’t wait for this Air Jordan 6 pair to drop, know that you can always pick up your size early from eBay and from Stadium Goods.

The Air Jordan 31 has had an eclectic colorway run to start things off. Not only have we seen patent leather on the “Space Jam” colorway and a bolstered cracked leather for the “Battle Grey” look, but now the latest Jordan signature model is returning to the galaxy for the Air Jordan 31 Supernova on December 24th, 2016 for $185 USD.

The Air Jordan 31 “Supernova” benefits from an Oklahoma City Thunder-esque colorway thanks to a vibrant Concord upper pairing well with a Bright Mango gradient throughout. While we’re unsure if Russell Westbrook will be lacing this pair up on Christmas Day, the triple-double machine has been the proud spokesperson of the Air Jordan 31 throughout the year by rocking a number of notable player exclusives. The midsole gradient returns as well thanks to a metallic finish, allowing for the icy outsole unit now complete with a supernova themed galactic print to truly stand out.

Check out the latest Air Jordan 31 colorway after the break and be sure to stay tuned for more Air Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News.
