To many people’s surprise, the Air Jordan 3 True Blue that released last week on Black Friday is still sitting on shelves (and online) in practically a full size run. Shocker right?

One pair of Air Jordan 3s that you won’t be able to get your hands on (at least not yet) is this pink pair that you see above that was created by Jordan Brand specifically for JB track athlete Mandy White. First previewed back in July, Mandy’s Air Jordan 3 features a hot pink leather upper with tonal hits on the laces, tongue, inner liner, and elephant print. The Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel have been done in white along with the midsole.

Would any of you ladies like to see this hot pink Air Jordan 3 get a retail release down the line? Let us know in the comments below.

If I was a fan of the Air Jordan 9 this would be an instant cop, but since I?m not I?ll have to pass on these.

The post A Close Up Look Of The Air Jordan 9 Space Jam appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

SoleFly’s close collaborative relationship with Jordan Brand has given us a number of instant classics that have all been rather limited. Earlier this year we saw them bring out an all-teal Air Jordan XX3 inspired by the Florida Marlins, but this weekend the Miami boutique has something special planned in honor of the international art extravaganza known as Art Basel: the Solefly Jordan 16 out in incredibly limited quantities on December 3rd for $275 USD.

We got an exclusive look at the upcoming release as a premium all-white construction is meant to pay homage to the theme of blank canvases. The Air Jordan 16 retro comes with its own touches of South Beach flare with subdued accents of Miami Vice-like teal and pink arriving on the shroud and outsole. The SoleFly Air Jordan 16 will even feature a special surprise: select pairs will be autographed by Michael Jordan himself for those that are waiting in line this coming Saturday!

Check out our full unboxing video below and stay tuned for more of the latest Jordan Release Dates right here on Sneaker News.

Space Jam season officially gets underway this weekend as we’ll be seeing a handful of “Space Jam” Air Jordans hit retailers beginning on Saturday.

But if you happen to be in the New York area then you’ll have early access to a few releases. Harlem’s House Of Hoops has released the Air Jordan 9 Space Jam, Air Jordan 1 Ultra High Space Jam, and the Air Jordan 31 Space Jam today a couple of days before their general release. So what about the Space Jam 11s? You’ll have to wait until next week to get your hands on a pair of those bad boys.

Jordan Brand continues to dig deeper into the archives for their upcoming 2017 release slate, as the Air Jordan 15 Obsidian will return this coming Spring season.

The Air Jordan 15 was perhaps one of the strangest post-retirement silhouettes thanks to the design cues throughout. The Jordan 15’s main inspiration was NASA’s X-15 aircraft for space exploration, but the silhouette also had a major controversy when many attributed the design of the sneaker to high-fashion brand Prada. The model championed a quick-lace system with Kevlar mesh creating the woven lifestyle aesthetic throughout. A comfortable Zoom Air system added just the right amount of cushioning. There’s no word yet on how much the pair will cost, but we’ll also see the original Black/Red Air Jordan 15 return in January.

You can expect this Air Jordan 15 retro to arrive come Spring of 2017, but be sure to head over to our Jordan Release Dates page for an updated look at all of the coming Jumpman attractions throughout the Holiday 2016 season.

Nike is making noise this Holiday 2016 by releasing their first-ever self-lacing sneaker in limited numbers with the introduction of the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0. A lucky select few have already gotten their hands on a pair, from basketball star Kyrie Irving to the movie star Michael B. Jordan, and they all share a similar response – a mixture of disbelief and youthful surprise. Nike is making a once fictitious technology real, afterall.

Jordan’s relationship with the Jumpman and Nike can be seen all throughout the latest Rocky spin-off Creed in which he’s decked out in Swoosh and Jordan Brand apparel throughout the movie, so that might explain his hookup for an early look at the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0. MBJ even got to try on the friends and family version, or as he likes to call them ‘the crispy all-white joints’.

Check out Michael B. Jordan’s exclusive look at the futuristic release below and view our own video where we take the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0 for a test run here.

Are you ready for the return of the Space Jam 11? Jordan Brand is pulling out all the stops in honor of Space Jam‘s 20th-anniversary celebration, and their latest endeavor pairs Blake Griffin and Jimmy Butler in an original video that could be considered Space Jam 2. In this dystopian future, the Monstars have returned and are dominating the world through their stolen basketball skills, and the only people able to save the planet are a group of anonymous pick-up ballers with the help of Blake and Jimmy.

Of course, they made a pitstop at Footlocker to pick up their latest Air Jordan 11 Space Jam and Air Jordan 31 Space Jam gear, all of which are being heavily featured throughout the Jumpman catalog this Holiday 2016 season. Check out the full short film after the break and grab your Space Jam 11 pair next Saturday, December 10th for $220 USD.

The post Jordan Released A Short Version Of Space Jam 2 With Blake Griffin And Jimmy Butler appeared first on Sneaker News.

While this particular iteration of the Air Jordan 9 was initially offered in 1993, the model will be debuting once again and treated with the ?Space Jam? moniker since it was also featured in the 1996 cult classic film to essentially celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Previous retro releases occurred in 2002 and 2010, as this 2016 edition will stay true to its OG vibe. A timeless palette of black and white graces its leather upper, and upon closer inspection, the mudguard, heel and collar section bears a slight glimmer effect. Additionally, vibrant hits of red adorn the tongue branding, Jumpman logo across the heel and more branding on the rear to perfectly complement its respective theme.

Retailing for $190, you can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting this Saturday, December 3.

Author’s Take

You can?t go wrong with classics. I?m a fan of the model and colorway overall. If you missed out on the previous releases, here?s your next opportunity.

The post Get Ready For The Air Jordan 9 Space Jam appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Jordan Brand continues to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Space Jam, which originally released in November 15, 1996.

Today, the label launched DEFY — a 90-second spot imagining a new take on the classic story to inspire a new generation to defy expectations.

The short film envisions a world in which the Monstars return to Earth demanding compliance with their brand of basketball. This time around, the Monstars wear the Air Jordan 9, in hope that some of the magic that inspired their own glorious defeat will reverse fortune.

The Jordan family however, led by Blake Griffin and Jimmy Butler, are equipped with the new Air Jordan 31. These anti-Gravity Machines are poised to upend the Monstars’ soulless game.

SoleFly has a special exhibition in store at this year’s Art Basel Miami, with the festivities kicking off tonight at a special event at the Southern-most tip of South Beach. The centerpiece of the exhibit is none other than their Air Jordan 16 collaboration, which features a classic South Beach colorway with luxurious materials and the first-ever reversible upper gaiter, which features a bright neon pink on the opposite side. In addition to the shoes, Michael Jordan has sent SoleFly “something very special” for the pop-up event, and although it is unclear what that may be, it could be something pertaining to the XVI, the first shoe from Michael Jordan’s comeback in the early 2000s. Sneaker News will be in attendance for the opening party tonight, so stay tuned for exclusive updates on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

The Air Jordan 15 Obsidian was initially offered back in 2000, and the classic pair is reportedly in line to be remastered for 2017.

Early images of the forthcoming pair have surfaced online, as it essentially mimics its original counterpart. Flaunting an obsidian, white and metallic silver color scheme, the model is defined by its woven leather upper, alongside a mixture of leather.

Pristine accents of white grace the inner sleeve, heel, tongue and frontal portion of the outsole to cap off its overall profile. Finishing touches include white laces and metallic silver lace tips.

Retailing for $190, this pair is suggested to make its debut at JB and Nike stockists sometime during Spring 2017.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

Author’s Take

I wasn’t that big of a fan of this model when I was younger, but now, I’m liking it a bit more. I like the overall colorway and this should please a lot of fans that really like the silhouette.

Joining alongside the Air Jordan 12 3M Reflective will be this GS/GG-exclusive variation of the silhouette in celebration of Chinese New Year.

Flaunting a color palette that correlates with Chinese culture, the sneaker is defined by a creamy off-white upper with bright red accents adorning the inner lining and portion of the tongue. In addition, woodgrain eyelets and miniature branded panels on the side further complement the design.

Other distinguishable elements include textured leather implemented across its forefoot and back heel tab, alongside Chinese text of ???? evidenced on the tongues, which translates to ?12?. Finally, a crisp white outsole completes the profile.

SHOP: SoleFly x Air Jordan 16 Art Basel

Sneaker connoisseur, SoleFly, presents a more luxurious rendition of the Air Jordan 16 for its latest collaborative installment with Jordan Brand, following the AJ 23.

Inspired by Miami?s Art Basel celebration (December 1 ? 4), where the world?s preeminent modern and contemporary art work are showcased ? the sneaker has been essentially elevated with more lifestyle appeal through the application of crisp white ostrich leather for its distinctive removable shroud.

Inheriting a pristine makeup overall, pops of pink and teal are also applied underneath the component and throughout as a nod to the South Beach vibe, while it?s topped off with a translucent outsole.

Extremely limited to 1,500 pairs, you can only purchase this unique model exclusively at SoleFly in South Miami.

Renz Ofiaza, News: I like the pristine look and the premium ostrich leather overlay is a nice addition. I like how the teal and pink accents were kept to a minimum. Since it’s pretty limited, this should be really sought after.

“And the teacher of the year award goes to…”

It’s not everyday to come-up on an original pair of Air Jordan 1’s. And it’s definitely not every day that you get gifted a pair from your gym teacher. One student’s love of sneakers paid off in a big way, after his gym teacher straight up gave him a pair of OG AJ1’s in the iconic “Chicago” colorway, a pair that used to belong to his son: “Gym teacher noticed my love for shoes this year and gave me his son’s Chicago 1’s”. Submitted by Reddit user mrcrano, here we see the well-aged pair in question. Let’s just hope the teacher’s son OK’d the gift!
