A week ago we got our first look at what is believed to be the next Jordan Brand signature shoe of Carmelo Anthony, the Jordan Melo M13. Today we can almost confirm that this is in fact Melo’s next signature model with the Jumpman. Here are the shoe’s latest images.

The Jordan Melo M13 goes for a different look this time around. Out are the extensive overlays and TPU heel counters, in is a much more minimal look with a very unique sleek looking pattern all over the upper. The same motif you see on the upper is also on the entire sole unit. Speaking of the sole, it appears to come with Zoom Air cushioning and a shank for added stability. This particular colorway comes in Black with hits of Metallic Gold placed on the areas of branding to give it a nice pop. Said to be dropping early 2017, do you like the route Jordan Brand is taking with their Melo line?

I’m not going to lie, it actually looks pretty cool. It’s not something I’m used to seeing on the Melo signature line, but as the saying goes, “change is good”/

We’re just days away from the release of the Space Jam 11, the patent-leather basketball sneaker that was made famous in the film Space Jam and during MJ’s first comeback late in the ’94-’95 NBA season. The shoes are readied a restructured mudguard upper to match the exact specifications of the pair made for the film, but that’s not all – the 4-5 is indeed back. It’s being noted that the Space Jam 11 Jordans are not exactly a limited release as stores across the globe will carry them, but given the insanely high demand, it’s not guaranteed that you’ll be able to buy a pair with ease. The shoes drop this Saturday, December 10th at retailers like Livestock, but will also be at Foot Locker, Finishline, and Nike.com.

The post Back Like The 4-5: The Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Is Arriving At Retailers appeared first on Sneaker News.

Space Jam season is in full effect as the Air Jordan 9 and Air Jordan 31 kicked off the festivities this past weekend. But the real party takes place this upcoming Saturday with the Air Jordan 11.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Space Jam movie, Jordan Brand has decided to bring back this Air Jordan 11 that was worn by Michael Jordan during the 1995 NBA Playoffs. This remastered OG-inspired version features a black cordura mesh upper with a higher patent leather cut on the mudguard, a “45” on the heels, and Concord accents on the branding.

Releasing on December 10th (Saturday) in full family sizing, let us know in the comments below if you plan on grabbing a pair.

The more I see these the more I like them. I just wish that Jumpman was blue instead of purple (at least I think it?s purple), but you won?t be able to tell unless you?re up close so I can deal with it. Haha.

Jordan Brand is always releasing new silhouettes from their lifestyle or training division that get little to no exposure from the brand. One of the latest that we have just caught wind of is the Jordan Impact that we see above.

Labeled as a training shoe, the Jordan Impact features a low top cut with a mesh upper and synthetic overlays. “JORDAN” has been written on the side panels while Jumpman branding appears on the tongue and heel. At the moment there’s 4 colorways options available of Gym Red, Cool Grey, Dark Grey, and Black with each pair retailing for $100.

Will you cop or pass? Let us know in the comments below.

There’s lots of other trainers out there that I prefer over these. They may be Jordan Brand, but I’ll pass.

After nearly a full year of speculation, leaks and everything in between, the 20th anniversary model of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam is finally dropping this weekend. Depending on who you talk to, however, that news is being met with eager anticipation or quiet loathing.

On the one hand, purists are in love with the 2016 drop because it is essentially a reissue of the Air Jordan 11 that Michael Jordan wore when he made his first comeback to the NBA in 1995. With a higher patent leather cut and the number 45 on the heel, this weekend’s release has a number of glaring differences from the 11s that Jordan wore in the movie. In the minds of many sneakerheads, the 2001 release and 2009 retro are the true Space Jams. Jordan Brand has been careful to market the 11 as more of the latter, but with the 20th anniversary of Space Jam coinciding with this release, they knew that the lines will be blurred and the movie tie-in was going to be inevitable.

So before you decide to cop a pair this weekend (which shouldn’t be a problem it seems), here’s a look at both the upcoming pair and the 2009 classic. Which one is the superior Air Jordan 11 Space Jam?

For more information on the kicks that’s dropping this weekend, be sure to check out our Air Jordan 11 Space Jam launch page for all the latest info, images, videos and links to buy on Saturday.

After a first preview last week, you can now get your best look yet at Carmelo Anthony’s next signature shoe, the Jordan Melo M13. If you’re like us, the first thing you’ll notice?whether you love it or hate it?is that it’s definitely at least more interesting and unique than the last few Melo models (M10-12, specifically) that although have been great performers, have been a little bland style-wise. For signature model #13, the Melo line ups the ante with an aggressive and stealthy-looking diamond-armored upper with a light and breathable mesh base, all sitting atop a Zoom Air cushioning platform below.

Is this Melo’s best shoe in years? Inspect them fully here in the debut black and gold colorway and let us know what you think while we wait for an official announcement and release info from Jordan Brand.

Was the Air Jordan 12 the most important retro in Jordan Brand’s 2016 lineup? Not only did we get such classics as the Flu Games and French Blues, but the Jumpman did us a solid by switching things up with an all Deep Royal Blue pair, teased another Drake OVO installment, and hinted at a plethora of Air Jordan 12 Lows for the coming year. Apparently, that’s not all either as today we get a first look at the Air Jordan 12 Red October.

For those of you who are fans of the premium monochromatic look, the Air Jordan 12 “Deep Royal” is still readily available, but there’s always been an added sense of exclusivity for all-red sneakers. Perhaps it’s the lasting Kanye Red October influence years later. The Jordan 12 Red October champions a similar construction to the Deep Royal release, as a synthetic suede upper contrasts the premium leather hit on the asymmetrical mudguard. Added Metallic Red lace eyelets add a touch of luxury while exposed Carbon Fiber hits the outsole.

Check out more preview shots of the potential Air Jordan 12 Red October below and stay tuned for more Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News.

While an Air Jordan 12 Low Red Suede is rumored to debut next year, it’s been also suggested that the basketball silhouette will be offered in a tonal red finish according to recent reports, which follows up on the previous Deep Royal Blue theme.

With this gallery consisting as an early preview, the model in its original cut, is composed of a smooth suede and textured leather composition for a premium feel. Metallic red accents for the eyelets and branded side panels further pronounce its vibrant profile, while it’s topped off with a matching red sole unit. In addition, subtle hits of white and metallic silver are prominent on the outsole.

Priced at $190, a release date has not been confirmed yet, although, rumors suggest its arrival sometime during 2017.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

I’m biased towards this shade and it looks great on the silhouette. This should garner a lot of attention, either on purpose or not.

The day is almost here. One of the most highly anticipated sneaker releases of 2016 will be arriving retailers in only five days. Yeah you know, the beloved Space Jam 11s.

Differentiating itself from all other past releases, this version of the Space Jam 11s mimics the pair worn by Michael Jordan when he came out of retirement back in the mid 90’s.

Nike Air branding has also been added on the insoles with a white midsole and icy blue outsole wrapping things up.

Jordan Brand’s main focus this Holiday 2016 season will be on their ever-growing Space Jam Collection to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the legendary film starring Michael Jordan, but there’s still plenty of goodies marking the release slate up until the New Year like the latest lifestyle creation, the Air Jordan 3 “Wool”, slated to release on December 17th for $200 USD.

The Air Jordan 3 was recently brought back from the vaults after a long hiatus with the Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday and the ‘Nike Air’ branded True Blue 3s, but if you wanted something a bit different, then the new wool construction just might be for you. Today we get the best look yet at the new material on Michael Jordan’s classic third signature installment. The shoe lacks any trace of elephant print for a simple, refined heather grey finish throughout while the Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel is nearly camouflaged thanks to matching grey stitching. An off-white Sail midsole adds a fresh finish to tie the entire release together.

What do you think of the coming Jordan 3 Wool installment? Check out more detailed shots below and be sure to head over to our Jordan Release Dates page for more information.

I?m not a big fan of the patent leather overlay?s higher placement, but, this is one of my favorite sneakers ever. I?m just glad it?s being released again and hopefully in lots of quantities.

Worried about whether or not you’ll be able to grab the Space Jam 11 release this coming weekend? Well there’s no need for that, as the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” will be one of the most widespread releases of Jordan Brand’s 2016 thanks to updated maps from both Foot Locker and Footaction letting us know that basically every location from the two retail chains will be stocking the must-have Jordan 11 retro.

This year’s Air Jordan 11 Space Jam release might come equipped with the occasional pesky ‘peaks’, but when you consider the fact that this retro comes with ’45’ PE branding, an updated overall shape and size to more closely resemble original samples, and additional Nike Air branding on the insole, you know you won’t want to miss out on your chance to grab a pair. And there will be plenty of retail options to do just that.

The post The Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” Is Not A Limited Release appeared first on Sneaker News.

The countdown to one of the most highly anticipated Jordan retros of the year has begun! We’re one week away from the release of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam. With everyone and their mom looking to pick up a pair, how hard is it going to be to actually get one (at retail price)? Judging by the info above, not too hard.

Retail stores have begun sharing info regarding how many pairs they will have in stock. Not only is virtually every Jordan Brand retailer going to have them in stock, they’re going plenty of them to go around. Take a quick look at the map above and it shows you all the Foot Locker locations set to have the Space Jam 11s in stock. Here’s some words of advice if you want a pair: Don’t pay resell from the get-go. Wake up early and try to get them online from an array of different sites. If that doesn’t work (it should), go to the actual (physical) store and try your luck there. There should be plenty to go around for everyone that wants a pair. I mean, look at the True Blue 3s, I went to the mall last night and every sneaker store still had them in stock one full week after the release date. It was quite a sight to see. If all else fails, try Kixify, we’re pretty sure you can find a sweet deal there as well.

The shoe will be releasing on December 10th in full family sizes with the men?s pair retailing for $220.
