With the iconic Space Jam colorway returning this Holiday 2016, a new premium iteration of the classic Air Jordan 11 will be offered as well.

Noted as a tribute to Bryant?s historic 20-year career in the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers — the silhouette flaunts a clean white leather upper, while the defining theme is evident with purple prominently seen on the patent leather overlays and throughout the rear, in addition to its collar section.

Finally, bright yellow accents adorn the branding across its tongue tab, mini Jumpman logos, as well as the number ?23? and circular globe badge on the heel to cap off the respective theme.

Priced at $190, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike retailers on November 19.

I like the premium material and I’m curios how the entire sneaker looks. I’ll judge once its fully unveiled.

I’ve always wanted a pair of Space Jams. I think this is the year I finally add them to my collection.

The Air Jordan 3 True Blue release is close to two weeks away. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty hyped about this release considering it’s one of my favorite Jordans of all time. If you’re like me and can’t wait for these to drop, perhaps you’d like a matching backpack to go with it. If that’s the case, take a look at the Jordan Training Day Backpack that matches up perfectly with the upcoming retro release. Those elephant print hits though! Out now at select retailers, pick up your very own today for $65.

I’m looking to get a pair of the True Blue. The backpack, not so much. The last time I stepped foot on campus was back in ’08. I’m good.

Next month we’ll see Jordan Brand release another colorway of the Air Jordan 16. After dropping the extremely limited Trophy Room pair last weekend, next up is a pair that OG enthusiasts will appreciate.

Today we give you the first official look of the Air Jordan 16 Midnight Navy which will be making its first retro appearance since its original debut back in 1999. This OG colorway of the Air Jordan 16 comes covered in a white tumbled leather upper and a removable shroud which is one of the most recognizable features of this silhouette. Midnight Navy then appears on the patent leather toe, heel, mesh underlay, and tongue.

In case you weren’t aware, this sneaker will retail for a premium price tag of $250 and will release on December 22nd. Make sure to click and visit our Air Jordan 16 Midnight Navy hub page for all the latest images and info regarding this upcoming release.

Author’s Take

$250 for this shoe? It’s a clean colorway of the 16s, but I don’t think it’s worth this much money and I don’t think many people will be willing to pay this price either. It’s only a matter of time until they get marked down.

Playing in the NBA has its perks, and playing for the team that is owned by Michael Jordan has even more perks, atleast when it comes to sneakers.

With Veteran’s Day taking place this week, NBA players around the league have been wearing special military-themed sneakers. Last night Frank Kaminsky of the Charlotte Hornets was spotted wearing a camo colorway of the Air Jordan 16 as the Hornets faced off against the Utah Jazz. Seen above, the special edition colorway features green suede accents with camo detailing on the side panels and gold accents on the branding and laces.

Would you like to see this Veteran’s Day colorway of the Air Jordan 16 release? It’s very unlikely, but keep it locked to Kicks On Fire for updates.

It’s not every day we see camo placed on an Air Jordan sneaker, so it’s cool to see something different. These are pretty clean.

The Air Jordan 31 will continue to release in more impressive colorways to close out the year as we’re expected to see a premium suede and leather pair release on Black Friday.

Also releasing next month will be a Space Jam colorway of the Air Jordan 31. With the Air Jordan 11 set to comeback next month, it was a no-brainer for Jordan Brand to give the 31 with the Space Jam treatment. Today we get our first official look at the shoe which features a dark grey and black Flyweave upper that transitions to a black patent leather on the heel/ankle. Next we see a Concord Jumpman by the ankle along with a white midsole and icy translucent outsole.

Who plans on picking up a pair? At the moment the Air Jordan 31 Space Jam is scheduled to release on December 3rd for $185. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more images and updates.

I like it. Jordan Brand continues to release very clean colorways of the 31. I hope people sleep on them and I can get them for below retail down the line.

For the nation’s best high-school sports prospects, one of the most memorable moments in the evolution of a pro career is the announcement of college commitment. Five-star prospect Nick Richards of Patrick School in New Jersey just committed to the University of Kentucky with the help of a pair of customs Air Jordans, which feature the Wildcats logos, the NCAA logo and the word “CHAMP” spelled out on the ankle (all the customizer needed to add was the “MP”).

ESPN ranks Richards 12th overall in the class of 2017, and given Kentucky’s penchant for producing all-pro big-man talent in the NBA, you might be hearing more from Richards pretty soon.

Jordan Brand is capitalizing on the the return of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam by adding a few more sneakers to the collection. Also included in the Space Jam collection will be an Air Jordan 31 and this OG colorway of the Air Jordan 9.

This isn’t the first time that we’ll see the release of this Air Jordan 9 as we’ve seen it release a handful of times since making its debut back in 1994. If you’ve watched Space Jam before then you know that Michael Jordan did actually wear these in the movie (see image above), so the nickname does make sense. It’s just weird to see Jordan Brand wait this long to call it that. I guess it’s all abut the marketing.

The newly named Air Jordan 9 Space Jam is scheduled to release on December 3, 2016 for $190.

We all know what “What Is Love?” means in sneaker circles. It’s a callback to an iconic set of commercials in the early 2000s that ran through the history of Michael Jordan and in many ways, Jordan Brand. It was a fitting final campaign that said goodbye to Jordan’s playing days. If you saw this back when it first aired and didn’t get a chill down your spine, you’re not human. So when we see that the Air Jordan 13 is coming back in what is being called a “What Is Love?” pack, there’s a reason to get hyped.

But what about those who are dead inside or are not basketball fans as much as they are just fans of the sneakers and hype (we all know they exist)? To them, when they hear that Jordan Brand is dropping an Air Jordan “What Is Love?” pack they might think of something else. Something a little more goofy that includes Will Ferrell and a 90s dance song…

An Asia-exclusive release that celebrate Chinese Singles’ Day, the Air Jordan 13 What Is Love pack will feature both a men’s and women’s release this weekend. No word on whether we will see Ferrell or Chris Kattan in a video bopping their heads to the song while wearing these.

The Air Jordan 13 What Is Love Pack is dropping this weekend. Stay tuned to the launch page for all latest information as it breaks.
