Air Jordan 14 Oregon PE Signed By Phil Knight Hits eBay
By SoleInsider
Nike designers draw inspiration from many different concepts and without a doubt, one of their favorites is none other than the franchise’s birthplace at University of Oregon. Paying homage to their roots, Nike would often issue exclusive sneakers in very limited quantities to the players of the University of Oregon’s sports teams. Although your chances of owning such an elusive item are minimal, every once in a while, a pair of these gems will float their way into the market. Limited to only 330 pairs, the Air Jordan 14 “Oregon” PE with authenticated signatures from both Phil Knight and Tinker Hatfield is now up for grabs on eBay. Whether you are a fan of the Oregon Ducks or just a die-hard Jordans fanatic, don’t miss your opportunity to grab these unique grails.
Heads up! A brand new Air Jordan 31 colorway is set to release at months end. Dubbed the Air Jordan 31 Battle Grey, here is an official look at one of the best colorways of the Jordan 31 yet.
The Air Jordan 31 dons a brand new look with the help of a new texture used on the entire upper. The shoe’s colorways has it come in a Dark shade of Grey covered in a pretty cool looking cracked pattern. The rest of the shoe appears to remain the same, meaning the usual branding, although a bit more tonal remains intact. A Grey midsole and icy outsole round out the look of the shoe. Set to release on October 29th, let us know what you think of the Air Jordan 31 Battle Grey.
The Air Jordan 6 Chameleon Will Make Its Debut In 2017
By SoleInsider
Next year the Air Jordan 6 is expected to make a return in at least a couple of different colorways. One of those colorways that will be releasing is the Chameleon pair that we see above.
This colorway of the Air Jordan 6 features a black leather upper that possesses iridescent qualities much like a chameleon does. It?s being said that the upper rubs off in similar fashion as the Air Jordan 12 Wings that released earlier this year. And by looking at these new pictures you can already tell that’s true. Additional details include iridescent detailing on the aglets and midsole, a translucent outsole, and 3M hits on the perforations on the upper.
Scheduled to drop in February (possibly during All Star Weekend), what are your thoughts on the Air Jordan 6 Chameleon?
Official Images of The Air Jordan 4 Premium Ginger
By SoleInsider
Premium iterations of the Air Jordan 4 continue to release this year as we’ll be seeing the popular silhouette release in a Wheat/Timberland-inspired look next week.
Today we bring you official images of the Air Jordan 4 Premium Ginger which features a premium leather upper that has been given the tonal look as a Ginger/Wheat hue has been applied all throughout. Leather laces, perforation detailing, a quilted leather insole, and a rubber gum outsole are a few of the details that are included in this Air Jordan 4.
Releasing on October 29, 2016 for $400, will you be grabbing a pair. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 4 Premium Ginger launch page now for the latest images, information and release details.
I see what Jordan Brand was trying to do with the Timberland boot-inspired look on this Air Jordan 4, but there?s no way I would spend $400 on this shoe. $200 sounds a lot more reasonable.

By SoleInsider
Black Friday is only about a month away which means we’re that much closer to the return of the Air Jordan 3 True Blue.

Will you be going after a pair come November 25th? Retail price will be $220.
Having just gotten our first look at the all-new Air Jordan 4 Royalty yesterday, we now bring you much better images of the shoe a day later.
Covered in a premium Black nubuck throughout the entire upper, this Air Jordan 4 is then contrasted by hits of Metallic Gold on the eyelets, tongue branding, and the Jumpman on the heel. Other details include a white midsole/outsole, and a leather heel tab. The inner liner, laces, and wings have also been done in black to keep things two-toned.

Author’s Take
I love the Air Jordan 4 and I love black/gold sneakers so this is a must-have for me. I’m looking at my first Air Jordan pick up of 2017. I just hope that retail price will really be $190.
Official images of the Air Jordan 3 in a brand new colorway of Dark Purple/Blue Cap has finally released and it’s listed as a gradeschool exclusive only.
Essentially draped in the defining bold hues across its profile, the model is also pronounced with atomic pink highlights gracing the eyelets and Jumpman branding on the tongue tab. The signature cement detailing is prominent on the toe cap and heel, while a crisp white midsole unit and purple outsole finishes off the design.
Priced at $140, you can expect to find this pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting October 29th.
Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 3 Dark Purple launch page now for more images, the latest info and release details.
This silhouette is one my favorite sneakers, but, this colorway isn?t that appealing in my view. I?m not a fan of the colors and I guess it?s a good thing this is limited to GS pairs only.
The Air Jordan 13 What Is Love Pack Debuts Next Month
By SoleInsider
Initially previewed this past September, the Air Jordan 13 What Is Love Pack is now fully revealed, which celebrates Chinese Singles? Day — essentially a holiday that celebrates the status of being single.
Consisting of two pairs, one for men and women, the men’s variation is rendered in the classic gym red and black palette, with the black leather element also revealing a panda camouflage graphic when rubbed off. The women’s version is draped in a respective feminine hue of Tiffany Blue with white accents.
Scheduled to drop on November 11th, the same day that Singles? Day is celebrated, it?s still unclear if this is only a China-exclusive release.
It Doesnt Get Much Flashier Than The Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold
By SoleInsider
Can you believe that it was 25 years ago when Michael Jordan captured his first NBA Championship. The year was 1991 and young MJ was lacing up the Air Jordan 6 to win his first Larry O?Brien trophy.
This luxurious colorway of the Air Jordan 6 celebrates the 25th anniversary of Michael Jordan winning his first NBA championship back in 1991 and features a full Metallic Gold upper for a flashy look that will surely break a neck or two. White accents then provide some contrast on the tongue, inner liner, heel tab, midsole, and outsole. The shoes even come with a fancy Jumpman hangtag.
Look for this Air Jordan 6 to arrive at select Jordan Brand accounts tomorrow (October 22nd) for a retail price of $250. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold launch page now for more images, updates and release details.
I wouldn?t consider myself a huge fan of the Air Jordan 6, but I do like it. However this colorway is just too flashy in my opinion. It?s not something that you would wear often.
Will You Be Picking Up The Air Jordan 1 Low Pinnacle Metallic Silver Tomorrow
By SoleInsider

Tonal laces, Nike Air branding on the tongue, and a white sole unit complete the look on this Air Jordan 1.
Retailing for $160, will this be a cop or pass for you? Let us know down below.
Buy, Pass, Wait: Keep Or Resell The Satin Air Jordan 1 Banned
By SoleInsider
Somehow someway Jordan Brand manages to one up themselves multiple times in a week. I don’t know how they do it (actually I do and it’s because we are suckers), but in a span of less than a week, they have managed to capture the attention of the sneaker world with three (four if you count the early Black Toe release) high-profile, high-priced retros. That’s why they keep on winning no matter how many general releases flood the stores. We keep coming back for more, as evidenced by this mostly Jordan edition of Buy, Pass, Wait.
Satin Air Jordan 1 Banned: Keep Or Resell?
Andrea Capone
Juan Martinez, Editor-In-Chief: (RESELL) I don’t wear 1s in general because I feel like death is creeping up on me when I put them on now, but I also generally prefer my Jordans have leather uppers, not ones that make them look and feel like Starter jackets. I can sell or trade these and get several pairs of Jordans I actually like so that’s a no-brainer to me.
Renz Ofiaza, News: (RESELL) I’ve seen $4k – $5k on eBay already. Due to its limited number and obvious exclusivity, I would rather resell and gain the profit. I guess it depends on what your priorities are. Oh and btw, I was so close. I wasn’t even aware of the surprise pop-up shop that morning and I was actually walking in the area, which already had a long line. Nice job JB, smh.
Renz Ofiaza
Andres Carrillo, News: (RESELL) I heard these are going for like $1,800. You know how many other shoes I can buy with that money??? Definitely resell.
Juan Carrillo, News: (RESELL) I’m 99.9% sure if these weren’t limited, they’d be sitting on shelves. A satin Jordan 1? Come on, man. Most of y’all are lying if you said you like these without knowing they’re limited. No doubt in my mind I’d resell these. If you want them, who am I to stop you from getting them, haha.
EIC Juan: (PASS) I like gaudy sneakers and these are as gaudy as it gets. Problem is the price tag puts them way out of the “ironic purchase” range. Sign me up though if they pop up at the Nike Outlet Store for around a hundred bucks and even that’s too high.
Renz: (BUY) The colorway is one of my favorites, and it’s on one of my favorite Jordan silhouettes. I’m actually considering to buy just to resell, hahaha.
Andres: (PASS) I like the Air Jordan 6 but I only own one pair. The inspiration behind this colorway is cool, but it’s just too flashy. This is a shoe that would be hard to wear on a regular basis. And I’m not going to spend $250 on a shoe that I can only wear on New Year’s Eve.
News Juan: (PASS) Gold sneakers are hit or miss with me sometimes. In some models, they look amazing, in others not so much. That’s not to say this is a bad looking sneaker, I just feel like there’s something missing to give it that finishing touch. Plus, it should not be retailing for $250, it’s not like it’s made out of real gold.
EIC Juan: (PASS) The price tag is out of my range, but that could change the closer we get to the online release. I wish I could see them in person first to really get a fell for how they actually look. The pictures that we’ve seen make the rounds vary in quality and look that I can’t quite grasp what shade of teal it really is.
Renz: (BUY) I was never into this particular style, but, I’m a fan of the teal finish. Years ago, I would’ve worn this in a heartbeat, but, yeah, would buy to just resell right now.
Andres: (PASS) I love that more collaborations are being released with silhouettes that we hardly hear or about or see. But I feel that more could have been done with this Jordan 23. Maybe add some black and silver to make it resemble the old Marlins logo a bit more. All teal is just too plain in my opinion.
News Juan: (PASS) Big fan of Teal colored sneakers. It looks pretty good on the model as well. I just feel like I won’t wear it that much and being that it’s $275, I just can make myself pay that much money for a shoe I’ll wear 3-4 times a year.
Nike Air Foamposite One Maroon
Nike
EIC Juan: (WAIT) There are a lot of Foams just sitting in stores right now like they’re GR Jordans. I like the Maroon color, but I’m comfortable letting them drop in price until I see a number that I like. What a time to be alive…
Renz: (WAIT) One of the nicest colorways on the sneaker so far. It’ll be a popular purchase since it’s available in full family sizes, but, I’d rather buy it in at a lower price.
Andres: (PASS) One of the better Foamposites to release this year. The combination of a burgundy upper and a gum outsole is hard not to like. With that being said, I still can’t see myself buying a pair of Foams. Maybe for $150 I’d consider buying.
News Juan: (PASS) Not a fan of the Foam line, but I am a fan of the color Maroon. The gum bottom is pretty dope to. With all that being said, it’s still not enough to make me want to own a pair off these.
The $400 Air Jordan 4 Ginger Releases Next Weekend

The Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle In Gold Releases Tomorrow
By SoleInsider
The Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle is almost here, but strangely enough, the luxurious Metallic Gold lifestyle creation won’t be available on Nike.com this weekend. Instead, Jordan Brand and Nike are making their latest Pinnacle series installment available only in stores.
The Air Jordan 6 “Pinnacle” doesn’t feature any actual 24K gold accents like its predecessors; instead, a premium Metallic Gold patent leather wraps around the entirety of the Air Jordan 6 while contrasting white makes for a smooth transition to the midsole and outsole unit. The good news about the lack of actual gold on this pair means that this will be the most affordable Pinnacle selection with a retail price of $250 USD.
Check out more photos after the break and while this Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle “Metallic Gold” pair won’t be available on Nike.com this Saturday, select shops like Wish ATL will have this pair in stock.
Air Jordan 4 Royalty In Black/Gold Releasing In 2017
By SoleInsider
Jordan Brand won’t stop at their Pinnacle Series when introducing the tried and true retro classic in the Air Jordan 4 to new colorways with a touch of luxury. This coming January 2017 the Jumpman will introduce the Air Jordan 4 “Royalty” to the world, a new look that pairs Black suede and nubuck together with Metallic Gold touches throughout.
There’s no exact date for the Air Jordan 4 Royalty, but we do know that it will help kick off Jordan Brand’s retro catalog for the new year with a bang. The simple colorway pairs a black base with Metallic Gold on the Jumpman branding – while the tongue keeps the traditional ‘Flight’ work mark intact, from these early photos we can see that the heel branding gets updated with more of a pendant look. A white midsole and outsole combination adds a clean finish to the understated, luxurious aesthetic.
Check out some teaser shots of this upcoming Air Jordan 4 Royalty and stay tuned for more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.
