The Air Jordan 5 Tan Tongue Debuts Next Year

Air Jordan 5 Air Jordan 5 1 Air Jordan 5 2 Air Jordan 5 3 Air Jordan 5 4 Air Jordan 5 5 Air Jordan 5 6

Last offered in Bronze, the Air Jordan 5 is expected to return in 2017 with this new colorway of olive/tan.

Elevated with more lifestyle appeal, the basketball sneaker is revamped with a premium upper covered in dark olive green, while tan leather tongues further add luxe flair, as well as complementing its overall scheme perfectly. Other notable details include its traditional mesh netting on the sides panels refined in a more minimalist finish, as it’s topped off with waxed rope laces and icy translucent outsoles.

A release date has not been confirmed yet, although, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

Author’s Take

This approach of reinterpreting classic Jordans with premium materials continue to be appealing in my opinion. I’m not against this iteration. It looks pretty solid so far.

Were Only A Few Weeks Away From The Return Of This OG Air Jordan 9

AIR JORDAN 9 1 AIR JORDAN 9 2 AIR JORDAN 9 3 AIR JORDAN 9 4

In the next few weeks we’ll be seeing a couple of different colorways of the Air Jordan 9 arrive at retailers. First we’ll see the Kobe Bryant PE colorway release a week from today, which will be followed up by this OG White/Black/True Red colorway in early December.

Earlier this week we were informed that Jordan Brand is now referring to this OG colorway of the Air Jordan 9 as the Space Jam colorway since Michael Jordan wore it in the actual movie 20 years ago. I’m not sure whether or not the new name is going to help its sales, or if anyone really cares, but we’re sure that fans of the silhouette are excited to see this colorway make a return.

Releasing on December 3rd for a retail price of $190, will you be scooping up this Air Jordan 9?

I don’t think real fans of this Air Jordan 9 care what nickname these are given. If you like the shoe you’ll but it, if you don’t then you won’t. Simple as that.

Before we say goodbye to 2016 we’ll be seeing one more colorway of the Air Jordan 12 arrive at retailers with this Vivid Pink pair.

Noted as a GS exclusive colorway, this Air Jordan 12 features a combination of Wolf Grey and Cool Grey on the tumbled leather upper as well as on the inner liner, laces, mudguard, heel, midsole, and outsole. The shades of grey are broken up by hits of Vivid Pink on the branding that appear on the tongue, heel, and side panels.

The Air Jordan 12 GS Vivid Pink will be arriving at retailers a week from today on November 19th 2016 for a retail price of $140. Any ladies plan on scooping up a pair?

Author’s Take

With Black Friday coming up in a couple of weeks I think this is a colorway that will get lost in the shuffle. But what do I know, I’m not a woman so I’m not sure how the ladies really feel about this pair.

Watch Jordan Spieth Attempt Golf Trick Shots In The UA Curry 3

Golf superstar and Under Armout athlete Jordan Spieth shows off his talent in this promo video from the brand, where he tees up a special shot in the Curry 3.

On his feet for the impressive shot is the Curry 3 in the “Grey Matter” colorway, which drops tomorrow, November 12th. Watch the clip below.

I?m not into high-cut silhouettes much, but, this rendition is pretty solid. The colorway is a classic and the build is versatile as well.

If you’ve been waiting patiently (or impatiently) for the release of the blue suede Air Jordan 12s then your wait is almost over. In less than 24 hours we’ll see the all-blue sneaker arrive at retailers.

Taking a lifestyle approach with this colorway, this Air Jordan 12 features a Deep Royal Blue suede draped all over the upper with blue also taking over pretty much the rest of the shoe, including the tongue, inner liner, laces, midsole, and outsole. The white hits on the tongue branding and heel serve as the only points of contrast. Will you be going after a pair tomorrow morning? Retail price will be $190.

Detailed Images Of The Air Jordan 12 Chinese New Year

Last week we brought you new images of this new colorway of the Air Jordan 12 that doesn’t have many details at the moment. We now return with more detailed pictures of the shoe as well as a possible theme/story behind the colorway.

This colorway of the Air Jordan 12 is believed to be a special pair that celebrates Chinese New Year, which will take place on Saturday, January 28th 2017. Looking at this colorway of the Air Jordan 12, we see that it features a 3M white leather upper which is then contrasted by black detailing on the outsole, mudguard, inner liner, and the special tagging on the tongues, which reads ???? that translates to the number ?12? in Chinese. The mudguard features textured detailing along with wood accents on the upper eyelets, aglets, and the branding on the side panels.

At the moment the Air Jordan 12 Chinese New Year is expected to release some time in January 2017 for a retail price of $220. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

So is this just the Air Jordan 12 Taxi with a 3M upper? I?m not impressed.

The Air Jordan 1 Black Toe and Shattered Backboard Restock Next Tuesday

The Air Jordan 1 dominated the release slate throughout 2016 with a number of iconic 1985 colorways returning to store shelves in remastered form alongside some new creations as well. Now two of the most sought after looks in the Air Jordan 1 Black Toe and Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard are returning via Footlocker.com in an online exclusive on November 15th, 2016.

With Nike SoHo remaining closed and changing the plans for its upcoming restock alert, luckily we’ll be treated to the Air Jordan 1 Black Toe restock that we knew was looming in the future after the pair dropped at the top of this month. So which Air Jordan 1 colorway are you more excited about – the Air Jordan 1 “Black Toe” or Air Jordan 1 “Reverse Shattered Backboard”?

The Air Jordan 3 True Blue Can Not Come Soon Enough

I don’t know about y’all, but I can’t wait for the Air Jordan 3 True Blue to drop. If you were to ask me to name my top 3 Air Jordan of all time, this pair would easily make the list. I own the pair that dropped a few years back, but the paint chipping on the midsole and the yellowing on the heel tab suggest it’s time to re-up on a fresh new pair. As a cherry on top, Jordan Brand blesses the True Blue 3s with Nike Air branding on the heel, which is usually more than enough of a reason for people to want to buy a pair or two. The shoe is set to release in remastered fashion on November 25th for the retail price of $225. Is this a must-cop for you as well? Let us know in the comments below.

A month from now we’ll be seeing the release of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam as it’ll be making its return on December 10th.

After getting our first official look earlier this week via Nike’s “12 Soles” Collection, we now get a look at different angles of the shoe that show the higher patent leather cut, the “45” on the heel, and a shot of the outsole.

Looking forward to picking up a pair. I’m still not too sure how I feel about the higher patent leather cut, but everyone definitely needs a pair of Space Jams in their collection.

Another Premium Royal Colorway Hits A Favorite Jordan Retro This Weekend

Last year’s release of the PSNY x Air Jordan 12 brought on that dope tonal look that the Air Jordan 12 wasn’t really prone to. Typically, the AJ12 takes on the two-toned look because the design makes it conducive to that contrasting look, but whatever the color-blocking is, the shoe just looks that good. Tomorrow’s release of the Air Jordan 12 “Deep Royal” exemplifies just that, with a Don C-esque full blue capturing the silhouette that MJ won his 5th NBA title with.

Be sure to check out more photos after the break and head over to our always-updated Jordan release dates page for a better look at the coming Holiday 2016 release slate. If you can’t wait for the weekend, know that you can always grab a pair on eBay.

Were You Able To Get Your Hands On This Premium Air Jordan 11 Today

AIR JORDAN 11 1 AIR JORDAN 11 4 AIR JORDAN 11 6 AIR JORDAN 11 3 AIR JORDAN 11 5 AIR JORDAN 11 9 AIR JORDAN 11 7 AIR JORDAN 11 2 AIR JORDAN 11 8

Jordan Brand surprised us all this morning by releasing the Air Jordan 11 Suede at Concepts NYC and Kith Brooklyn without any type of warning.

The shoes were only available in-store, so if you weren’t local to the area you really had no chance at picking up a pair. Featuring a Cool Grey premium suede upper, this Air Jordan 11 also comes with leather laces, a debossed Jumpman logo by the ankle, leather quilted insoles, and a semi translucent outsole.

Anyone in New York able to pick up a pair this morning? The retail price for these was $400, just like the most of the other Pinnacle releases that Jordan Brand has released these past two years. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates on a potential wider release.

Also, click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 11 Suede launch page now for more images, the latest info and release details.

I’d consider buying these for $190, but for $400? No way. Easy pass for me.

Official Images Of The Air Jordan 9 Kobe Bryant


We miss the old Kobe, the 35 points per game Kobe, the Huarache & occasional Jays Kobe. You get the point. The Black Mamba is now celebrating his historic career through venture capitalism and the Nike Kobe AD. The parallels between Michael Jordan and Kobe are eerily familiar – you’ve seen the videos of Kobe mimicking MJ’s fadeaway, dribble drives, and up-and-unders by now. Jordan Brand is honoring the legendary no.24 with a brand new release in the upcoming Air Jordan 9 Kobe Bryant on November 19th for $190 USD.

The Air Jordan 9 “Kobe” mimics a random sample that appeared back in 2010, although the particular shade of purple found on the patent leather mudguard is a bit more Laney-like than initially expected thanks to the inclusion of the Jumpman’s iconic Concord hue. The leather upper is accented by metallic silver lace eyelets for premium effect while Lakers’ Tour yellow arrives on the branding and ’23’ PE branding (no, these won’t have any official homage to the Black Mamba in the form of no.8 and no.24 shoutouts). Still, the fact that the Jumpman is giving us a general release of a sought after Jordan 9 Kobe PE from year’s past this Holiday 2016 season is reason enough to be excited.

What do you think of the Air Jordan 9 Kobe? Check out more official photos after the break and head over to our Jordan release dates page for more of the latest Jumpman news.
