In less than three weeks we’ll be seeing what is sure to be one, if not the most anticipated Jordan Brand release of 2016. Up there on the list with the White Cement 4s, Bred 1s, and Space Jam 11s, the Air Jordan 3 OG True Blue will be a hot commodity this year.

Preparing you for the big release we bring you the latest images of the shoes courtesy of fineline1721. This OG colorway of the Air Jordan 3 features a White tumbled leather upper with hits of True Blue on the inner liner, midsole, eyelets, and of course the OG Nike Air branding on the heel. Fire Red has then been placed on the bottom eyelets, the Jumpman on tongue, and the inside of the tongue. The signature elephant print can also be seen on the toe and heel to keep things classic.

The highly anticipated True Blue Jordan 3s will arrive at retailers on Black Friday, November 25th for a retail price of $220.

Author’s Take

I’ve never had a pair of True Blue 3s and I’ve always liked the shoe. Looks like I know what I’ll be buying myself this Black Friday.

What is love? For sneakerheads with no significant other, the answer is, of course, new Air Jordans. And that’s what bachelors and bachelorettes in China can gift themselves with on Single’s Day: these two new Air Jordan 13 colorways just for the lonely-hearted. Releasing exclusively in Asia, the pack consists of one colorway each for men and women, with the men receiving the vibrant red and black look while women get the minty green version. Even though you won’t be able to get a pair unless you’re in Asia on November 11th (another cruel joke played on the rest of us singles), you can get an official look at each colorway here.

The post Detailed Look At The Air Jordan 13 “What Is Love” Pack appeared first on Sneaker News.

Quick, think back to the first time you saw the Air Jordan 12 Deep Royal Blue. What was your initial reaction?

• “Wow, Jordan Brand is running out of ideas.”
• “Wow, those are hot, but why was the picture taken from 2005 flip phone?”
• “Please don’t be $400, Please don’t be $400…”
• “I’m not sure if I have ripped jeans that will match that shade of blue…”
• “Well, that’s gonna be fun trying to recreate in NBA 2K17.”

If you’re in that last category, congratulations, you’re me. The shade of blue Jordan Brand used leaves it open to interpretation for those who haven’t seen them in person; is it blue or is it really closer to purple? For my money (and because I haven’t seen them in person), the blue reminds me of the hue the Los Angeles Clippers used in their alternate blue jerseys prior to moving over to their current scheme. We used that as the starting point for the shoes and moved the sliders so that it’s a little darker compared to the uniforms.

Going back to a concern we had last week when we tried to make a Battle Grey Nike Kobe 11, the metallic finish on the midsole accent and the suede option on the upper doesn’t always appear in the actual game shoe. Hopefully it’s something that be fixed with a patch in later updates but for now enjoy these building for your digital Blake Griffin as the shoe drops this weekend.

A brand new colorway of the Air Jordan 31 was unveiled over the weekend at Complex Con that is expected to release on Black Friday.

Debuted by DJ Clark Kent, this Air Jordan 31 gets hit with a luxurious twist as suede and leather combine on the upper to give the shoe a more lifestyle inclined look. Other details include an off-white outsole, a black leather Swoosh, waxed laces, and subtle red detailing.

Not really sure how I feel about this Air Jordan 31 yet. My initial reaction is that I like the original Flyweave version better. I’ll save my judgement until better images drop.

Early last month we saw the release of the White colorway of the Air Jordan 12 OVO. Were you one of the lucky few who was able to pick up a pair? If you weren’t then hopefully you’ll have better luck with the black pair.

It’s now being rumored that the black colorway of the Air Jordan 12 OVO is scheduled to drop during 2017 NBA All Star Weekend. Next year’s All Star festivities will be taking place in New Orleans from February 17-19. With the success of the white pair, you can expect that the hype and anticipation for the black pair will be just as big. Retail price will be $225 just like the white pair.

This colorway of the Jordan 12 is really nice, but I have to say that I like the white pair better. I still may try to get my hands on a pair though, but knowing how limited these are I probably won’t succeed.

Will the Air Jordan 12 OVO “Black” finally release this coming NBA All-Star Weekend 2017 in February? The missing link to Drake’s coveted Jordan Brand collaboration was recently showcased at a Jordan pop-up in Salt Lake City, Utah to celebrate Mike’s infamous Flu Game and Last Shot. While many were holding out hope that the Air Jordan 12 OVO Black would release at retailers this coming Holiday 2016 season, it’s more than likely that you’ll have to wait a few more months until the limited Drizzy x Jumpman Air Jordan 12 offering finally hits select retailers.

If you can remember, the Air Jordan 10 OVO “White” made its appearance at last year’s All-Star Weekend festivities to coincide with the NBA’s showcase finally arriving in Toronto. We were then treated to the Air Jordan 12 OVO “White” this past October via a limited run at OVO Toronto and Los Angeles locations and on Nike SNKRS. The premium OVO construction utilizes an upgraded ‘Stingray leather’ on the mudguard for a caviar-like effect with metallic gold accents hitting throughout the smokey black outsole.

Check out more shots of the upcoming Drake Air Jordan 12 OVO Black and stay tuned for an official release date in the near future right here on Sneaker News.

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.

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.

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.
