Only 2 pairs of the Air Jordan 7 Doernbecher Alternate were created, one went to Phillips and the other was auctioned off at the Doernbecher Freestyle event for $45,000. Take a look at the video below courtesy of heskicks to get a closer look at the shoe.

This year’s N7 collection, which is essentially the Swoosh’s initiative for aiding Native American and Aboriginal youth involved in sports and physical activity, will include the Air Jordan 31 as one of its highlight offerings.

Covered in an understated palette of black, dark turquoise and white color, the sneaker’s knitted upper is rendered in a two-tone finish with black more prominent on the toe box, while white covers the remainder of its profile.

Additional details include embossed N7 and Jumpman branding on the tongues, while turquoise accents prominent on the Flywire cables and midsole pronounce the design. Finally, an icy outsole finishes off the overall makeup.

Featured in its GS sizing, you can purchase a pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand stockists starting November 7th for $185. GS sizes are listed at $160.

The Air Jordan 6 Alternate Debuts Next Year

Air Jordan 6 Air Jordan 6 1 Air Jordan 6 2 Air Jordan 6 3 Air Jordan 6 4 Air Jordan 6 5 Air Jordan 6 6 Air Jordan 6 7 Air Jordan 6 8

Previously suggested to be the Air Jordan 6 Hare, this latest variation of the basketball silhouette is actually an extension of Jordan Brand‘s “Alternate” colorway this season.

Somewhat of a hybrid maroon variation as well, the sneaker pays homage to the Chicago Bulls’ color scheme with white, pure platinum and gym red accents covering its entire upper. This iteration is also the pair that MJ would’ve donned during the 1991 Playoffs, as the year ?1991? is evidenced on the tongues. Finally, translucent outsoles finish off the design.

With its retail price listed at $190, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand retailers starting March 11, 2017.

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

Our First Official Look At The Air Jordan 7 Doernbecher By Damien Phillips

Air Jordan 7 Retro Doernbecher 1 Air Jordan 7 Retro Doernbecher 2 Air Jordan 7 Retro Doernbecher 3 Air Jordan 7 Retro Doernbecher 4

This year, the Air Jordan 7 is the model chosen to represent Jordan Brand in the Doernbecher collection. 10-year old Damien Phillips is the kid who got to create the shoe. Let’s take a closer look at the Air Jordan 7 Doernbecher By Damien Phillips.

Damian is currently fighting through a hemophilia diagnosis. Throughout this entire time he has shown a tremendous amount of courage, even while at hemophilia camp, where he was awarded the Big Stick Award after learning to administer his own infusions. Damian is a big time fan of the Chicago Bulls, so when he found out he was given the Air Jordan 7 to work on, he was pretty ecstatic about that. The shoe has a Bulls theme to it as the team’s Black and Red colors are placed all over the upper. He also enjoy rock music, which is why he placed the guitar pick on the laces, while the heel tab is said to resemble a guitar neck. Lastly, the outsole features an animated graphic of Damien himself rocking out to a power solo. The Air Jordan 7 Doernbecher By Damien Phillips will be releasing on Saturday, December 17th at Nike SNKRS for $190.

Astrotorf Customs Creates An Air Jordan 3 Wings!

air jordan 3 wings 1 air jordan 3 wings 4 unnamed (1) unnamed

The minute I saw that the Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday was going to drop, I knew instantly that the all-Black shoe was a perfect canvas for customs. The shoe dropped a couple weeks ago, and I’ve already seen a handful of pretty sweet customs. One that managed to stand out the most was this Air Jordan 3 Wings created by Astrotorf Customs. Not too long ago, we saw him do his thing on the Air Jordan 5 Wings custom, now he’s back at it again using the same Wings pattern on the Jordan 3.

The Jordan 3 Wings is inspired by the Jordan 12 Wings. Just like the 12 Wings, most of the shoe comes in the original Black leather base. The magic in the custom lies in the Black and Gold Wings pattern placed on the mudguard. The Black and Gold Wings pattern is actually stencil work created by D-Nice Customs made especially for the Air Jordan 3 model. The rest of the shoe remains untouched, the only other upgrade would be the removal of the original laces in favor of the leather laces to help give it more of a premium look and feel. Simple, yet very dope! Be sure to check out Astrotorf Custom’s IG here and see what else he’s been working on.

P.S. The shoe you see above is for sale. It’s a 10.5. Hit up Astrotorf Custom’s IG here to see how you can own the pair.

Official Images Of The Jordan 1 Flight 4 Space Jam

With Jordan Brand scheduled to bring back the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam on December 10th, you can bet that Jordan Brand is going to milk the hell out of the colorway until that day arrives. In other words, expect lots and lots of Team Jordan and Jordan Brand sneakers to release in the “Space Jam colorway. One of the first models to do so, is the Jordan 1 Flight 4 Space Jam. Yea, I don’t know.

Although it does not use much mesh, patent leather or an icy sole, the Jordan 1 Flight 4 does share a few similarities with the Jordan 11 Space Jam. These include the Black (leather) upper and the Blue (Dark Concord) hits used for the branding, which also happens to include the Jumpman on the side of the heel. Although it’s not really a substitute for the real thing, how many of you would be down to rock a pair.

A Michael Jordan Tribute Appear On These Antonio Brown Cleats

Antonio Brown and the Steelers may not be playing this upcoming weekend, but that didn’t stop him from showing us a preview of his latest custom cleat work. The wide receive has already taken the time to pay tribute to legends such as Arnold Palmer and Muhammad Ali, now he look to pay homage to a living legend, Michael Jordan.

The latest custom cleats show hand-drawn pictures of the GOAT on both lateral sides of the Nike Alpha Pros cleats. Rocking a Blue based upper, the cleats pay homage to Jordan during his time with his alma mater, UNC. The custom cleats even came with little Jumpman figures on the toe. Will he decide to wear these during warm-ups in the near future? Who know, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
