Previously reinterpreting the classic AJ 23, SoleFly presents a more luxurious rendition of the Air Jordan 16 next for its latest collaborative installment with Jordan Brand.

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

Complementing the pristine makeup are pops of pink and teal as a nod to the South Beach vibe, while it’s topped off with a translucent outsole.

Extremely limited to only 1,500 pairs, you can only buy this unique model exclusively at SoleFly starting Saturday, December 3rd for $275.

Pre-order at SoleFly South Miami begins at 11 a.m. ET on December 2.

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.

Today, Jordan Brand opened its first-ever European store — Jordan Bastille — located at 12 rue du Faubourg Saint Antoine, in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, France.

In partnership with Foot Locker, the pinnacle retail experience offers premium Jordan Brand products, services and experiences.

Trial zones such as the Jordan Flight Lab allows fans to wear-test the latest footwear innovations in an immersive environment under the guidance of in-store athletes. In addition to store-exclusive designs, Jordan Bastille?s Atelier Jordan service offers consumers the ability to personalize a range of sneakers and apparel.

This Holiday 2016 season welcomes premium iterations of the iconic Air Jordan 11 — one in suede and the other in this woolen composition.

Showcased in a lifestyle perspective, the basketball sneaker mimics the previously released Air Jordan 12 Wool. Defined by its elevated lifestyle appeal and functionality through the application of a wool-constructed upper rendered in dark grey, complementing black accents are placed on the laces and heel, which also doesn?t incorporate the traditional ?23? logo. Finally, a crisp white midsole unit and milky translucent outsole finishes off the profile.

Priced at $400, this model is suggested to make its debut at select Nike and JB stockists very soon.

I?m liking the woolen upper. It?s just nice seeing other materials being applied on the sneaker. The colorway overall is pretty versatile, but, I?ll have to disagree with that price tag ? just like everyone else.

Aside from the Space Jam and Royal iterations, the Air Jordan 1 Ultra High is introduced in another iconic colorway, this time draped in BRED.

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

All sandwiched in between a crisp white midsole unit, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for an official release date.

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.

Fire Red has then been placed on the bottom eyelets, the Jumpman on tongue, and the inside of the tongue. As always, the elephant print is seen on the toe and heel.

I don?t think real fans of this Air Jordan 9 care what nickname these are given. If you like the shoe you?ll buy it, if you don?t then you won?t. Simple as that. I’m not a fan of the Air Jordan 9 so these will be a pass for me.

You know it’s officially Space Jam season when non-sneakerheads are rocking fly kicks to work.

The sports anchors for ESPN’s SportsCenter were gifted the Air Jordan 31 Space Jam (that releases next week) and wore them to work along with their suits and ties. Jay Harris, Randy Scott, Kevin Negandhi are showing us that the Space Jams do look good with a suit, even if they’re not the 11s. 

Will you be picking up the Air Jordan 31 Space Jam on December 3rd or will you pass on them and pick up the Space Jam 11s the week after instead? Let us know down below.

You can?t go wrong with a classic, especially this silhouette. I?m just glad it?s being revived again.

The Air Jordan 1 High Top 3 follows up on the Black Toe version that debuted earlier this month, and this particular pair will cap off November.

Featured in its BG/GS sizing, the basketball sneaker?s aesthetic remains similar to its adult counterpart, as it’s defined by the mixture of three iconic original AJ 1 colorways ? ?Chicago,? ?Banned? and ?Royal?. The respective hue is prominent on a particular portion of the premium leather composition for a one-of-a-kind profile.

Furthermore, the three colors utilized is in reference to Michael Jordan?s draft placement in the 1984 NBA Draft.

With adult sizes priced at $160, this variation is listed at $120. You can purchase one at select Nike and JB stockists starting Cyber Monday, November 28th.

Jordan Bastille is the name of the Jordan retail store set to open in Paris in just a few days. While consumers patiently wait for the doors to open, we recently came across this Air Jordan display said to be found inside the store.

Said to be the first-ever standalone Jordan retail store in Paris, you know they’re going all in as a part of the celebration of the store opening. Jordan Brand recently hosted a special launch event in which special guest Ray Allen was in attendance. Also in attendance was the Air Jordan display you see above. The display features Jordan retros 1 through 30. The majority of them come in a White hue, but the championship-winning silhouettes are dipped in Gold to symolize the years Michael Jordan won his NBA championships (6).

The Jordan Bastille store officially opens on November 24th, if you’re not n the area, at least you have this picture to look at.

Florida-based Solefly is the latest sneaker shop set to get their own Air Jordan collaboration. Set to release early next month, here’s out best look yet at the SoleFly x Air Jordan 16.

Although the release date of the SoleFly x Air Jordan 16 is right in the middle of the Fall/Winter season, there are no signs of chilly vibes on this drop. As a matter of fact, you’d think this would be a release better suitable for the Summer season. South Beach-esque vibes appear on the color scheme as a White leather upper is contrasted nicely by the Neon Pink and Turquoise accents placed all across the upper and shroud.  Speaking of the shroud, take a close look and you will see that it’s made out of a sleek ostrich textured leather and die-cut paneling beneath the signature removable gaiter. If you feel like giving the shoe a bit more boldness and pop, it should be noted that the shroud is reversible and can be worn inside-out to show the Hot Pink. It is being reorted that the SoleFly x Air Jordan 16 will be releasing during Art Basel in Miami exclusively at SoleFly with a limited run of only 1,500 pairs for $275.

The price of the shoe throws me off. I don’t understand why it’s priced so high. It’s cool, but I won’t pay that much for it.

Following up the Air Jordan 16 ?French Blue? by Trophy Room, another Florida-based sneaker shop gets their hands on the Air Jordan XVI this winter. Bringing some tropical vibes to the cold months ahead, SoleFly creates their own take on the ?South Beach? sneaker theme with a crisp white leather upper with neon pink and turquoise accents across the upper and shroud. Built in all-white full-grain leather, the shoe also features ostrich textured leather for the shroud and die-cut paneling beneath the signature removable gaiter, but what gives their version an added flair is that the shroud is actually reversible and can be worn on the hot pink side.

Releasing during Art Basel in Miami, the SoleFly x Air Jordan 16 drops December 3rd exclusively at SoleFly with a limited run of only 1,500 pairs for $275.

This is a simple and clean colorway of the Air Jordan 1 but it’s not a pair that I would be willing to pay retail for. If these fall in price then I may grab them down the line.
