Expect The Air Jordan 11 Space Jam In A Full Family Size Run

By now you already know that you’re going to grab your size in the Space Jam 11 on December 10th, it’s just a matter of how. But just in case you didn’t know, one of the hottest Holiday 2016 releases will be available in a full family size run spanning from men’s sizes all the way down to toddler and baby sizes.

Today we get a look at a side-by-side comparison of all of the Jordan 11 Space Jam sizes accompanied by Style Code information and pricing. This year’s Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” is a bit different from past installments for a number of reasons. Most notably, the PE branding on the heel now has Michael Jordan’s post-retirement number ’45’ stitched on the back instead of the normal ’23’. The legendary patent leather mudguard has an overall shape that more readily resembles initial samples as well.

Be prepared to your Space Jam 11 size on December 10th via Nike.com, but know that you can find select sizes right now on eBay.

Jordan Brand Should Release This Hot Pink Air Jordan 3


The Air Jordan 3 has finally been released from the Jordan Brand vaults thanks to the return of the True Blue 3s and that underrated “Cyber Monday” colorway. But what’s next for the iconic Tinker Hatfield-helmed model? Back in July, we previewed the Air Jordan 3 “Hot Pink”, a PE created for Jordan Brand track athlete Mandy White who also happens to be related to a Jordan Brand employee to hold her down for that Jumpman connect.

The Air Jordan 3 Hot Pink featured a monochromatic construction complete with a smooth pink upper, elephant print panels on the toe and heel, and a contrasting white midsole for a clean finish. Today we get a better look at the exclusive Air Jordan 3 offering. The Jumpman has been focusing on their girl’s imprint now more than ever before with the likes of the Air Jordan 11 “Heiress” and more women’s exclusives slated to release in the near future. The only question here is why the Air Jordan 3 Hot Pink hasn’t released yet. What do you think of the look? Check out another detailed shot below and stay tuned for more of the latest Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

Clash Of The Kicks 4K Edition: Air Jordan 9 Space Jam (2016) Vs. Air Jordan 9 White/Black-True Red (2010)

Sneaker Twitter (well, those who haven’t already given up on retros): Wait, they’re bringing back the Air Jordan 9 already? Too soon, man…

Jordan Brand: We’re calling it the Air Jordan 9 Space Jam because it was in the movie, remember?

Warner Bros.

Sneaker Twitter (well, those who aren’t wearing NMDs or Yeezys or Ultra Boosts): FryIn celebration of the 20th anniversary of Space Jam, Jordan Brand is making sure we don’t forget every little detail about the movie, especially the kicks that MJ wore. So along with the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam we’re also getting a rebranded Air Jordan 9 White/Black-True Red. And wouldn’t you know it, we just so happen to have both in the KoF Offices in the past year. We previously shot the 2010 Air Jordan 9 retro for our Sneakers In 4K series and now we’ve got this weekend’s release to show in stunning HD. Check out both below to compare and contrast.

For more information on this upcoming release, be sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 9 Space Jam launch page for all the latest images, videos, breaking news and links to buy on release day.

The Air Jordan 4 Motorsports Is Coming Back Without Mars Blackmon


Jordan Motorsports was a short-lived endeavor from a post-retirement Michael Jordan, but his love of motorbikes did give us a number of awesome and rare retro releases in the mid-2000s inspired by his Wisconsin-based racing imprint. Now we have word that the Air Jordan 4 Motorsports will be coming back in remastered retro form in 2017, but with one major change: the Mars Blackmon logo on the heel panel is noticeably absent in the first preview shots from Instagrammer Pinoe77.

The rest of the coming Air Jordan 4 “Motorsports” retro seems to keep traditionalism in-check with a smooth white leather upper accented by contrasting black shades on the tongue and mesh side panel ventilation unit while that vibrant royal blue accent hits the lining, Jumpman branding, and more. It makes sense that the Jumpman will be bringing this rare pair back given that the limited run of Jordan 4 Motorsports last released in 2007.

Stay tuned for more details regarding this rare Air Jordan 4 retro in the near future and be sure to head over to our Jordan release dates page for all of the coming Jumpman Holiday 2016 drops.

Is This Carmelo Anthonys Next Jordan Signature Shoe


Introducing the Jordan Melo M13. Carmelo Anthony is Jordan Brand’s longest-tenured signature athlete as he remained loyal to the Jumpman insignia since entering the league in 2003-04. We’ve seen plenty of awesome PEs gifted to Melo during his time as a Denver Nugget and even the occasional blue and orange gift to match his Knicks uniform. It looks like the Jumpman is being as experimental as possible with the Jordan Melo M13 though, as an aggressively sleek design features diamond-like textures throughout what we can imagine is a synthetic Kurim construction. That look then extends into the unique midsole unit while a contrasting fuse toecap leads into the ventilated medial side.

The angular motifs extend to the tongue as a triangular tag alternates between Carmelo’s signature PE logo and the Jumpman with a ‘Melo XIII’ callout in a contrasting metallic gold to match the Jumpman branding on the side panels. There’s still no word yet when we can expect an official launch, but our best bet is sometime early in 2017. Check out more photos of what’s rumored to be Carmelo Anthony’s next signature model with Jordan Brand and be sure to let us know what you think of the upcoming Jordan Melo M13 in the comment section. You’ll be able to find this Melo M13 on Nike.com when they drop in the near future.

First Look At The 2017 Air Jordan 4 Motorsport

Air Jordan 4 Air Jordan 4 1

A sneak peek at the Air Jordan 4 Motorsport 2017 edition was revealed this past August, and now, a full reveal of the highly-anticipated silhouette has surfaced online.

Simply one of the most coveted variations of the classic basketball sneaker, the model is essentially an alternate variation of the AJ 4 Mars that debuted back in 2006. Donning a premium leather construction, royal blue accents are prominent across the sneaker?s pristine profile, which essentially commemorates MJ?s Motorsports team.

NBA 2K17 Kicks: Air Jordan XXX1 Space Jam (With An Air Jordan 9 Cameo Too)

Space Jam season is upon us and it begins with this weekend’s release of both an Air Jordan XXX1 that’s based on the iconic Air Jordan 11 of the same name and a recently renamed Air Jordan 9 that was also featured in the movie. Take a wild guess what we featured in this week’s edition of NBA 2K17 Kicks, featuring Jordan Brand athletes Russell Westbrook and Kawhi Leonard? You get one shot at it.

NBA 2K17 - Space Jam XXX1 6 NBA 2K17 - Space Jam XXX1 4 NBA 2K17 - Space Jam XXX1 3 NBA 2K17 - Space Jam XXX1 5 NBA 2K17 - Space Jam XXX1 2 NBA 2K17 - Space Jam XXX1 1

The Air Jordan XXX1 Space Jam will probably make it into the game eventually as an update, but we decided to just beat them to the punch for a moment and create our own version. As you can see the screenshots of the user-created XXX1 and the pre-scanned Air Jordan 9 Space Jam, there’s a big difference between a shoe that you make from scratch and one that was tinkered with by the game’s designers and artists.

Speaking of Space Jam, wouldn’t it be more fun to feature Russ in the a hypothetical sequel instead of LeBron James? I understand that ‘Bron is a bigger name and it makes sense that he would be pegged to star in a sequel or remake of the original, but we’re talking about the potential for comedy here with Russ. And why not make it a new story with an ensemble cast featuring Jordan Brand’s best? Who wouldn’t want to see a game featuring Russ, Kawhi, Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony taking on The Monstars. Hell, for all we know Jordan Brand already has something like that in the can – a short film/commercial – and is just saving it for a special occasion like say, Christmas Day…

The much-anticipated 2016 Air Jordan 11 Space Jam is only about a week and a half away, as it’ll cap off the celebration of the film’s 20th anniversary which recently took place on November 15.
