Heres What You Need To Know To Get Your Hands On The Air Jordan 16 Trophy Room French Blue

TROPHY ROOM X AIR JORDAN 16 1 TROPHY ROOM X AIR JORDAN 16 2 TROPHY ROOM X AIR JORDAN 16 3 TROPHY ROOM X AIR JORDAN 16 4

The next Trophy Room x Air Jordan exclusive is none other than the Air Jordan 16 Trophy Room French Blue and it’s set to release this weekend in limited quantities! So, how do you get your hands on a pair of these bad boys? Before we get to that, let’s see what the shoe is all about.

The Trophy Room x Air Jordan 15 comes constructed out of a premium tumbled leather upper done in a clean French Blue finish. For those of you not too familiar with the silhouette, it happens to utilize traits and features from the Air Jordan 5, 7 and 11 which you can find on the patent leather, clear rubber outsole, etc. Even more premium leather is found on the shroud, because if you’re going to make a premium shoe, make it correct, right? Want  a pair? This is all you need to know: Be sure you’re at the Trophy Room pop-up location at TIER Nightclub in Orlando, Florida before 8:00AM EST this Saturday, November 5th to receive a numbered wristband. For those of you who don’t live around the area, there is another way you can try to get your hands on a pair. For the first tie ever in Trophy Room’s brief history, the shoe will be launching product online at their webstore, www.TrophyRoomStore.com. Being that they’re priced at $275 and that fact that they’re extremely limited, you’re going to have to have a lot of luck on your side to get your hands on a pair.

Author’s Take

The craftsmanship and material used on the shoe are definitely on point. With that being said, I’m not too high on the model to tell you the truth. Plus, $275? That kind of makes it easier to pass up on.

The Air Jordan 13 What Is Love Pack Is Unveiled

Air Jordan 13 2 Air Jordan 13 3 Air Jordan 13 4 Air Jordan 13 5 Air Jordan 13 1 Air Jordan 13

Taking cues from one of MJ’s inspirational marketing campaigns, “What is Love?” — a commercial that debuted in 2003 during Jordan’s last season in the NBA — this latest iteration of the Air Jordan 13 relives that memorable time with this “Perfect Match” series, which also correlates with Chinese Singles? Day — an entertaining festival that celebrates the status of being single.

Featuring one pair for men and women, the men?s variation flaunts a classic gym red and black palette, while the black leather element above its midsole also bears a panda camouflage graphic when rubbed off. The women?s edition is draped in a respective feminine hue of turquoise across its full-grain leather upper with white accents gracing the sole unit. Each pair is topped off with the signature circular hologram logo adorning the heels.

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

Author’s Take

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.

Jordan Unveils The Air Jordan What Is Love Collection

One of the many inspirational slogans from Jordan marketing campaigns of the past is the series of “What Is Love?” ads that surfaced during the post-Bulls era of Jordan Brand. Next Friday, Jordan Brand spins off that memorable time with a set of Air Jordan 13 Retro releases as part of Nike China’s “Perfect Match” series, which includes several other Nike silhouettes. The red version features a “panda camouflage” graphic pattern on the upper that appears once the black overlay wears away, while the turquoise pair features a solid full grain leather upper. Both are exclusive releases to Asia and will be released alongside two t-shirts feature panda illustrations. Get an official look at the shoes just ahead.

Author’s Take

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.

This colorway of the Air Jordan 16 will come in a White tumbled leather upper accented by the Midnight Navy patent leather placed on the toe and the mesh on the underlay.

Happy to see retros other that 1-14 get re-released, but this is a model I don’t see myself picking up. Solid colorway, but I’m not too big on the 16s.

More Images Of The Air Jordan 6 Alternate

Air Jordan 6 1 Air Jordan 6 Air Jordan 6 2 Air Jordan 6 3

Reminiscent of last year’s Maroon finish, this latest iteration of the Air Jordan 6, which was previously suggested to be Hare-inspired colorway, is actually an extension of Jordan Brand?s ?Alternate? color scheme.

The sneaker essentially pays tribute to the Chicago Bulls? theme with white, pure platinum and gym red accents covering its entire upper. Comprised of premium perforated leather and nubuck underlays, this iteration is also suggested to be the pair that MJ would?ve donned during the 1991 Playoffs, as the year ?1991? is prominent on the tongues. Finally, translucent outsoles finish off the design.

With its retail price listed at $190, this standout pair is scheduled to drop at select Nike and Jordan Brand retailers starting March 11, 2017.

Author’s Take

Even though it?s been confused with the Hare or Maroon colorways, it?s still another appealing iteration. I?m just biased in general.

10 Favorite Ray Allen Air Jordan Player Exclusives

Ray Allen is no longer an active NBA player as he announced his retirement (kind of…) on Tuesday. There have been rumors and teases of a comeback since he last played in 2014, but now our choice for the greatest Jordan Brand athlete of all-time (and we stand by it) has taken his last smooth 3-pointer. Nobody had a prettier stroke and even though he’ll probably lose that all-time three-point record in a few years to three Golden State Warriors players, they still can’t top Jesus Shuttlesworth’s form. And not only has he optimized the values of Jordan Brand since its inception, but his sneaker PE game is probably second only to MJ at this point. Here’s my picks for the best Air Jordan PEs Allen ever wore.

Air Jordan 13 PE

nathanfriedlipskiphotography
nathanfriedlipskiphotography

Allen is the all-time leader in three-point field goals made and he rocked this pair of Jordans when he passed Reggie Miller on the list. And anything that kinda trolls Reggie is fine with me, even if they are 13s….

Air Jordan XX8 NBA Finals PE

For degree of difficulty (miss and the Spurs win the title), there might not be a more clutch shot in NBA history. Jordan stans might disagree, but when did MJ ever take a shot in the Finals that would have cost them the series if he missed? Exactly…

Jordan Icons PE

Scoff at Team Jordans all you want but Ray was a big supporter and rocked them in games both big and small. The Icons are generally overlooked, but I love their look especially in green and white.

Remember when the NBA thought it would be a good idea to use nicknames on the back of jerseys? It’s a silly idea but ultimately it was all worth it to have Allen rock a Shuttlesworth jersey (which was the inspiration for one of my favorite NBA Kicks recap posts ever). He wore the 13s to complete the look since that was the kicks of choice of his movie father Jake aka Denzel.

Air Jordan 20 Seattle Supersonics PEs

Most people have forgotten Ray’s first two stops in the NBA prior to arriving in Boston and Miami. His Seattle PEs are among the hidden gems in the sneaker world and his collection of 20s need more love.

Air Jordan 15 Milwaukee Bucks PE

It’s no secret that the Air Jordan 15 is one of the least favorite Jordans ever made, but dammit, how can a shoe so bad give us a commercial so great? If Ray’s 15s came with a CD with Mary J. Blige signing “Overjoyed” I might change my mind about the shoe… nah….

Air Jordan 19 SE Seattle Supersonics PE

Another Seattle gem is the SE version of the Air Jordan 19. I’ve kind of waffled over the years about which version of the Air Jordan 19 is better, but this makeup in Sonics green and gold is too good to ignore. Check with me next week to see if I change my mind.

The Air Jordan 16 is high on my list of Jordans that I’ve never owned and I’m lowkey jealous that Allen has some of the best PE versions of the shoe. Something about that shroud that makes them cool and mysterious…

Air Jordan 11 Ring Ceremony PEs

Green and Gold > Red and Gold (oh, like you can go wrong with either one)

Jordan Team 1 PE

Since this is my list, of course it’s going to include my favorite pair of Team Jordans ever. I’m not sure if it was a nostalgia play or just something Jordan Brand whipped up for Ray to wear just because, but we were all shocked when he warmed up in those Team 1s during the NBA Finals in 2013. Still waiting on that retail release, Jordan Brand. Or you know, just a care package in a size 11. What?
