Author’s Take

I?m not into high-cut silhouettes much, but, this new build and inner bootie construction looks great. The colorway is a classic as well and you can?t go wrong with it.

2017 will be bringing us more new colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air.

Featuring a premium leather upper, the three color options take inspiration from the Chicago, fragment design, and Shadow colorways of the Air Jordan 1. Details include “AIR JORDAN” branding on the ankle instead of the wings logo and NIKE AIR branding on the heels.

Which colorway are you looking forward to the most? Take a look at the latest images above and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more release information.

Author’s Take

There’s really no reason to buy these colorways of the Rare Air Jordan 1 unless you collect the Jordan 1 or you don’t have these colorways in their original form. I’ll be passing on them.

What you see above is perhaps the best colorway that we’ve seen yet of the all-new Jordan Westbrook 0.2.

Having a tendency to make almost any shoe look better, Vachetta Tan has now landed on Russell Westbrook’s 2nd off the court signature shoe. This pair features a premium hairy suede upper done in Vachetta Tan with Westbrook and Jordan branding on the tongue and heel, respectively. Down below we see a White rubber cupsole with Air-Sole heel unit for lightweight cushioning.

You can pick up this luxurious Vachetta Tan colorway of the Jordan Westbrook 0.2 at select Jordan Brand accounts now for $140.

Best colorway of the Westbrook 0.2 that I’ve seen so far. Would I cop though? Probably not.

Author’s Takes

Andres Carrillo, News: I really liked this shoe when I saw it at first but I’ve kind of gotten over it. In my opinion this isn’t a colorway that can be worn all the time and the fact that it’s $220 for a GS sneaker is just too expensive.

If this were a regular Air Jordan 1 and not the Ultra version with the new ankle/collar, I?m pretty sure I would have liked it better. I?m not a fan of the new look.

The Air Jordan 15 will be returning next year not only in the OG Stealth colorway, but also in the OG Obsidian colorway.

After finding out the news earlier this week, we now have new images to show you of what’s believed to be the 2017 version of the Obsidian 15s. The shoe features a blue leather and woven upper with white accents on the inner lining, tongue, laces, heel, and outsole. The shoe is then finished off with metallic silver lace tips for that premium look.

There is no confirmed release date for the remastered Air Jordan 15 Obsidian yet, though it is expected to release some time during the Spring of 2017. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more details.

Author’s Take

I like this pair much better than the Stealth colorway, but I just don’t really like the 15 silhouette overall. I don’t see myself picking up a pair.

More Wingless Air Jordan 1s Are Headed To Retailers

When the sneakers were still in development before their original release in 1984, the Air Jordan 1 went through a few different tweaks and sample stages before becoming the icon it is today. One of the more famous prototype designs featured a wingless “Air Jordan” logo on the ankle. After over 30 years in the dark, the wingless Air Jordan 1 made its first retail debut last year, and now three new colorways of the wingless design are set to release, including one quite similar to the OG “Chicago” colorway, as well as a fragment-like royal blue rendition. In addition to the unique logo at the ankle, the sneakers also include a “Nike Air” logo on the heel, which as far as we know, was never featured on an early sample of the shoe but makes for an interesting addition now.

Expect the new round of Air Jordan 1 “Wingless” colorways to arrive in early 2017.

I like it. Very nice color scheme and the Chameleon theme looks clean. It they’re limited, I’m sure they’ll fly off the shelves.

I?m all for applying new materials on classic JB silhouettes. This pair doesn?t look that bad. Maybe I?m just biased but, the colorway is versatile and it?ll be suitable for the colder weather.

A Closer Look At The Air Jordan 1 Ultra High BRED

Aside from the Space Jam iteration, the Air Jordan 1 Ultra High is also treated in a favorable finish of black/red for its latest take this season.

Sporting a durable textile construction that also features an extended bootie and pull-tab system, the stealthy hue is simply prominent across the majority of its upper, while vibrant red is focalized on the toe box, heel, outlining of the Swooshes, ankle section and outsole.

All sandwiched in between a crisp white midsole unit, select Nike and JB retailers nationwide have the pair available now for $150.

Stay tuned for a wider release in the near future.

I?m not into high-cut silhouettes much, but, this new build and inner bootie construction looks great. The colorway is a classic as well and you can?t go wrong with it.
