The Air Jordan Dub Zero has returned for the Fall season in a couple of new colorways. One of those options that is available right now is this Oreo pair that we see above.

Covered in black throughout the majority of the upper, this Dub Zero features a leather upper along with nubuck detailing on the heel. The signature lasered graphics have also been done in black while a mesh tongue provides breathability. White and grey accents have been added on the branding, heel tab, and midsole, along with speckling on the midsole to complete the “oreo” look.

You can find this colorway of the Air Jordan Dub Zero at select Jordan Brand accounts now for $160. Will you be grabbing a pair?

Author’s Take

While most people hate on the Dub Zero, I don’t think it’s too bad. I’ve actually owned a pair that I wore the hell out of back in college.

Having made its debut last month, we’re now beginning to see more colorways of the Jordan Westbrook 0.2 arrive at retailers.

One of the latest pair to surface takes on the all-black look as you can see above. Covered in a combination of leather and nubuck throughout the upper, the “brodie’s” 2nd signature lifestyle sneaker with the Jumpman is offset by a white rubber midsole. Westbrook’s logo then appears on the tongue in white along with “WHY” and “NOT?” written on the inside of the tongues.

If you like what you see you can pick up a pair now at select retailers for $140.

Not a fan of the all-black colorway. I like the debut black/camo pair better that this one.

In today’s world of high-volume sneaker sales and mass releases, it’s hard to discern culture from trend, but we assure you it still exists. A portion of it revolves around Michael Jordan’s legacy and although MJ’s brand aims to balloon its revenue further into the billions, the excitement and energy from the good ole days still remain. Part of the fun is reporting and experiencing these cultural episodes, and now Jordan Brand, through their new in-house blog, is telling it through their own lens in much more personal voice, with sporadic interviews with shoppers, inside looks at major events, and closer interaction with the brand’s athletes and network of influencers and collaborators. You can visit their blog now on air.jordan.com.

Those of you who were hoping to grab the True Blue 3s complete with that vintage ‘Nike Air’ branding straight from 1988 don’t need to worry. The classic Air Jordan 3 True Blue retro won’t be a limited release after all, as Foot Locker was kind enough to give us a map of where the coveted Air Jordan 3 colorway will be available on November 25th, 2016.

While the True Blue 3s will see an increased price of $220 given the additional ‘Nike Air’ branding on the heel, outsole, and insole, you can expect similar availability compared to the Air Jordan 5 “Metallic” – which means that this pair might not even sell out upon initially hitting retail shelves. That also means you can expect continued restocks, making this pair readily available for purchase well into 2017.

Are you excited about the Air Jordan 3 “True Blue” retro returning to store shelves on November 25th for $220 USD? Check out the full Foot Locker launch locator map for the True Blue 3s after the break and be sure to head over to our Jordan release dates page for an updated look at the Jumpman’s Holiday 2016 plans.

Concepts NY and KITH Brooklyn surprised everyone last week by unexpectedly dropping the Air Jordan 11 “Suede” in limited numbers on Friday, November 11th. While we’re still waiting for a more general release of that premium lifestyle pair priced at $400 USD, that won’t be the last time that the Jumpman decides to ditch the patent leather construction for a more lifestyle-friendly aesthetic.

Today we get a detailed look at the Air Jordan 11 Wool featuring a similar monochromatic upper in a bolstered marbled wool construction while a simple, refined white midsole and outsole finishes things off with class. The normal ’23’ PE stitching is noticeably absent on this pair while black laces and a black heel panel add slight contrast to the dark grey upper.

There’s still no word yet on if this pair will remain a sample or actually see a release date in late-2016 or early-2017, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated right here on Sneaker News. What do you think of the Air Jordan 11 “Wool”? Be sure to let us know in the comments section.

The overall color scheme is nice and the hits of pink are a nice touch of contrast, especially for the ladies. I like how it?s kept minimal overall.

Not to be confused with the upcoming Air Jordan 11 Suede, here is a good close-up look of an Air Jordan 11 Wool. We let you guys know that a wool-constructed Air Jordan 11 was in the works, but we haven’t really gotten a good look at the shoe, until now.

This version of the Air Jordan 11 will come with a wool constructed upper, very similar to what we’ve seen from the AJ 3 Wool and AJ 12 Wool.  A Dark Grey and Black colorway takes care of the woolen upper, while a White midsole unit and translucent outsole finishes off the premium aesthetics of the shoe.

It is currently being rumored that this Air Jordan 11 Wool will be releasing during the holiday season for the retail price of $400. Be sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 11 Wool hub page for all the latest details and images of this upcoming holiday Jordan Brand release.
