I?m all tonal finishes and I?m a fan of this sneaker in general. The build is solid as well and this should get some attention. I?m not that inclined on purchasing though.

Another detailed gallery of the Air Jordan 9 Kobe is featured once again, as the basketball sneaker is noted to pay tribute to Bryant?s historic 20-year career in the NBA.

Respectfully colored in the only team he had played for ? 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 encompassing the midsole unit and throughout the rear, as well as along its collar section. Furthermore, 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 rear.

The silhouette is suggested to release at select JB and Nike retailers on November 19, 2016 for $190.

Fans of the Air Jordan 12 have a lot to be happy about these days. Not only has the retro classic helmed by Tinker Hatfield been featured in a number of iconic original colorways this year, but we’ll also be treated to a bevy of Air Jordan 12 Low releases come 2017.

Today we get a look at the Air Jordan 12 Low Red Suede slated to arrive this coming Spring/Summer season featuring a ‘Raging Bull’ like look thanks to the premium suede upper and contrasting black leather accents on the mudguard. There’s not even a trace of white on this pair either as a black midsole breaks up the red hits while a semi-translucent bottom adds a hypnotizing aesthetic.

What do you think about the upcoming Air Jordan 12 Low Red Suede? There’s still no release date, but be sure to stick with us right here on Sneaker News for more of the latest updates.

True Blue highlights adorn the midsole and inner lining, as pops of red grace the outsole, tongue and eyelets to round out its color scheme. Finally, ?Nike Air? branding is evident on the insoles and back heel tab to round out its notable details.

Adult (mens) sizes are listed at $220, while GS, PS and Toddler sizes will retail for $160, $80 and $60 respectively.

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

Aside from the return of the iconic Space Jam colorway this Holiday 2016, a new premium variation of the classic Air Jordan 11 will be offered as well.

Evoking fashionable/lifestyle appeal, the basketball sneaker strays from its typical patent leather/nylon construction, and instead, flaunts a plush grey suede covering its entire upper. Notable design elements consist of debossed Jumpman logos and no traditional ?23? embroidery on the heels. Rounding out the profile is a crisp white midsole unit and slightly translucent outsole.

Priced at $400, you can expect to find this standout pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand retailers starting this Holiday 2016.

I like the different material utilized on this silhouette. It?s nice to see something different and it?s time to see some change. This offering is pretty solid and stylish in my opinion.

One of the most highly coveted Air Jordan 4 colorways of all time is set to release to the public next year. Yes, I?m talking about the Air Jordan 4 Motorsport.

When the Air Jordan 4 Motorsport initially released, it didn?t drop as a GR to the public. As a matter of fact, the shoe was only given to members of the Jordan Brand Motorsport team. So if you weren?t a part of that exclusive club, you probably don?t own a pair. For some reason (which I?m not mad at), Jordan Brand has decided to release the Air Jordan 4 Motorsport to the public. This Motorsport 4 will come with a White leather upper, offset by the hits of Black and Royal Blue placed throughout the shoe. Mars Blackmon branding also appears on the side of the heel to give it that official look and feel.

Juan Carrillo, News: Dope! I love the Jordan 4, and this is one I’d love to add to my collection. Looking forward to this release.

Price: $190

Heads up Air Jordan 4 fans, a fresh new colorway is said to be releasing in a few months. Currently known as the Air Jordan 4 Royalty, this clean iteration of the model boasts a timeless Black and Gold colorway. The official colorway of the Air Jordan 4 Royalty is currently listed as Black/Metallic Gold and White. The shoe is done in a Black suede, which is something we’ve seen on the model several times in the past. What makes this pair stand out from other Black suede Jordan 4s is the fact that it comes accented by the Metallic Gold hits noted on the eyelets and Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel. A clean White midsole and set of Black laces round out the look of the shoe. Did I mention that it also comes with a leather heel tab?! Nice! Fairly simple in color scheme, but in my opinion Black and Gold sneakers are always a winning combination. Expect these to release sometime in January for the retail price of $190.

Additional detailed images of the low-top variation of the classic Air Jordan 12 Playoff are featured, as this silhouette is reportedly arriving sometime during Spring 2017.

Just like its original iteration, the basketball sneaker is essentially covered in the timeless color scheme of black and white across its premium leather upper, mudguard and full-length rubber sole unit. Notable contrasting elements consists of metallic silver eyelets, miniature grey-colored branded side panels and varsity red accents gracing the Jumpman on its tongue, heel pull tabs and the number ?23? on the rear.

I prefer it in its original cut a lot more, but, this rendition should garner enough attention as well. The colorway is a classic and you can?t go wrong with a pair.

More official imagery of the limited edition Air Jordan 13 What Is Love Pack are featured, as the forthcoming set pays tribute to one of MJ?s inspirational marketing campaigns that debuted in 2003 during Jordan?s last season in the NBA, as well as correlating with Chinese Singles? Day — an entertaining festival that celebrates the status of being single.

Consisting of one style for men and women, the men?s variation boasts the versatile gym red and black colorway, with the black leather element above its midsole also bearing a panda camouflage graphic when rubbed off. The women?s edition meanwhile, is treated in a feminine finish of turquoise across its full-grain leather upper with white accents gracing the sole unit. Each is topped off with the signature circular hologram logo adorning the heels.

Noted to be an Asia exclusive release only starting November 11th, the sneakers will be offered alongside complementary t-shirts that feature the defining panda illustration.

The theme is pretty cool and if you?ve seen the commercial, it?s one of JB?s best ever. The colorways offered are solid overall. Both pairs are appealing in general and should be sought after.

Alongside the recent Heiress Red Velvet iteration, the Air Jordan 1 High GS is introduced in a new vibrant colorway consisting of concord/green for this Fall/Winter 2016 season.

Finally, a crisp white midsole unit and icy blue translucent outsole rounds out the overall makeup as well as complementing its respective color scheme.

Rumors suggest this pair to make its debut at select JB and Nike stockists starting December 1st.

You can never go wrong with this style. I’m not really a big fan of the colorway, but, it works well together.

Jordan Brand’s big release this weekend was the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black Toe. Were you able to cop a pair? On deck for next week is, surprise, another Air Jordan 12.

This time around the Air Jordan 12 takes the tonal route and comes covered in a Deep Royal Blue premium suede upper with contrasting hits of White on the branding that appears on the tongue and heel. Metallic Blue accents can then be seen on the upper eyelets as well as on the “JUMPMAN” branding on the side panels. A solid blue rubber outsole then finishes things off.

If you’re a fan of the recently crowned World Series Champs Chicago Cubs then these are perfect for you. Cop your pair on November 12, 2016 for a retail price of $190.

I’m a fan of this shade of blue, but this shoe just has too much of it. I’ll have to pass on these.

Many of you may have picked up the Air Jordan 5 Gold Medal that dropped earlier this year, but I’m willing to bet that no one has this special PE pair. Well unless you play for the Oregon Ducks football team that is.

Jordan Brand/Nike took the Air Jordan 5 Olympic Gold Medal and gave it a few alterations to make it better suited for the Ducks. Some new details include feather graphics on the side panels, and the Oregon “O” placed by the heels. It also appears that every pair comes personalized for each player as the one seen above features a gold “73” by the ankle that belongs to Tyrell Crosby.

2016 was filled with more Air Jordan 12 releases than we could handle, and there’s actually still a couple more dropping before the end of the year. What we didn’t see was any low-top versions of the Air Jordan 12 hit retailers.

If you happen to be a fan of the 12 Low then the good news for you is that Jordan Brand plans on releasing a few different colorways in 2017 with one of them being previewed for the first time up above. This Air Jordan 12 Low features a vibrant red suede all throughout the upper with black accents placed on the inner liner, laces, mudguard, upper eyelets, heel tab, branding, and the back of the midsole. A red outsole wraps up the look.

No exact release date is known yet for the Air Jordan 12 Low Red Suede but it is expected to release some time in 2017. Make sure you stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

I’m usually a fan of black/red sneakers, but for some reason I’m not really feeling this pair. Maybe it’s because it uses too much red or maybe it’s because it’s a low top.

This morning we saw the release of the Air Jordan 31 Chicago. Did anyone scoop up a pair? Whether you copped or passed, we now give you a look at another upcoming colorway of the 31 that you’ll be able to get your hands on in the near future.
