Hector Montez — the seventeen year old senior from Coronado High School in Lubbock, Texas, who made his teacher’s childhood dreams come to reality by gifting him the Air Jordan 12 Taxi (showcased in the viral video below) — continues to receive appreciation from the sneaker community and fellow pubic figures in general with his generous act of kindness, as he recently visited DJ Khaled’s private Champs Sports store and with a surprise guest, Pittsburgh Steelers star receiver, Antonio Brown.

Hector had a once in a lifetime experience and was the first consumer to shop at the exclusive DJ Khaled Champs Sports store in Miami, Florida. While on dad duty, DJ Khaled gave long time friend, Antonio Brown, the keys to the store, so he could recognize Hector’s game.

The forthcoming Air Jordan 6 Chameleon, set to debut next year, is showcased in a lifestyle setting for its latest presentation.

As its moniker suggests, the defining aesthetic is essentially evident across its entire black leather upper which incorporates an iridescent finish that shifts in colors depending on certain lighting conditions. This shimmering element is achieved when rubbed off, a similar first found on the Air Jordan 12 Wings.

Finishing details include a Jumpman badge embroidery on the heels, 3M reflective accents, iridescent lace tips and the clear translucent outsole also inheriting the iridescent detailing.

Priced at $225, you can purchase this standout pair at select Nike and JB stockists starting February 17, 2017.

I like the iridescent finish. This blacked-out profile is always a crowd favorite and versatile. Even though it?s simple, this should garner a lot of attention.

A new premium variation of the iconic Air Jordan 11 will be offered this Holiday 2016 season, alongside the return of its OG Space Jam colorway.

Straying from its typical patent leather and nylon construction, the sneaker is executed with more lifestyle appeal through the application of grey suede covering its entire upper. Notable finishing details include debossed Jumpman logos and no traditional “23” embroidery on the heels. Finishing off the profile is a crisp white midsole unit and slightly translucent outsole.

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

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

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.

On October 1st, Drake’s OVO imprint released an Air Jordan 12 Retro collaboration with accompanying apparel and accessories in a white/gold color palette. Currently Nike’s official release pages in the Canada and Australia regions have the shoes releasing again on October 29th on Nike.com and at Niketown London, so our friends up north and Down Under have another shot at copping the OVO 12s. We’ll let you know if the OVO Jordans are going to be available elsewhere, but for now, it appears that Nike.com in Australia and Canada as well as Niketown London are releasing the shoes. If you’re still looking for a pair and don’t live in those specific areas, see what’s available on eBay.

After getting a first look at the upcoming Air Jordan 16 Trophy Room French Blue just last week, we now return this week to show you new images.

Showcased by both Travis Scott and DJ Khaled, this new colorway of the Air Jordan 16 takes the tonal route as the entire shoe has been covered in a beautiful French Blue hue. The shoe features a combination of tumbled leather and patent leather on the upper and is accompanied by white detailing on the outsole and branding. Trophy Room branding has also been placed on the shroud overlay.

The Air Jordan 16 Trophy Room French Blue will be releasing exclusively through Trophy Room on November 5th for a retail price of $275.

Author’s Take

Since I’m not really a fan of the Air Jordan 16 it would take a really nice colorway for me to want to pick up a pair. This French Blue collaboration with Trophy Room just doesn’t do it for me. These will be a pass for me.

The post Release Date: Air Jordan 16 Trophy Room French Blue appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

After some early teaser images, today Trophy Room officially announces their upcoming bringback of the Air Jordan 16 in an all-new “French Blue” colorway. Marcus Jordan’s sneaker shop can now boast that they’ll be releasing the first-ever retro of the sixteenth Air Jordan outside of the Countdown Pack from 2008, with their collaborative version in a clean tonal French Blue colorway. Being that Trophy Room’s location is in Florida, there was of course no better celebrity to help unveil the shoe than DJ Khaled, who we see here (in a matching velour tracksuit, no less) in the photos with Marcus introducing a full look at the shoe.

The Trophy Room x Air Jordan 16 “French Blue” will release in limited quantities exclusively at Trophy Room on November 5th. Stay tuned for more detailed release information.

This weekend, the Air Jordan 3 continues its comeback with a size that’s made just for the kids. Adults won’t be able to cop this colorway for their size 9 and above feet and quite honestly, it should probably stay that way. We are in the day and age when everybody refuses to grow up and wants to remain a kid at heart and that’s fine for nostalgia purposes, but there are some things that are better left alone to the kids. The Air Jordan 3 GS Dark Purple is one of them.

The Air Jordan 3 has always been a sneaker that reveled in its simple color palette. Some combination of white, cement grey and black mixed with some blue or red as done the silhouette wonders through the years, whether it be the classics like the Air Jordan 3 White or Black Cement or modern favorites like the Air Jordan 3 Doernbecher or the Air Jordan 3 Sport Blue. It’s when Jordan Brand has deviated from that formula that the sneaker gets in trouble and it’s more glaring on the 3 than other retros. We’ve seen purple work on an Air Jordan 5 and pink was more than welcome on an Air Jordan 12 that just dropped this year. But those colors – or different shades of them even – on the Air Jordan 3 and it just falls apart. People might say they like the Russell Westbrook’s Air Jordan 3 exclusives, but if they weren’t attached to Russ or the Oklahoma City Thunder, they would be forgotten in an instant.

For more information about this upcoming release (for the kids), check out our Air Jordan 3 GS Dark Purple launch page for all latest images and videos as they become available.

If you weren’t already aware, Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley was a sneaker free agent this past Summer and managed to work out a deal with Jordan Brand as one of their newest sponsored athletes. We even recently caught up with him to talk about how the process went about to sign with them and what it was like to receive his first (massive) care package.

Conley and the Grizzlies opened up the NBA season last night against the young and hungry Minnesota Timberwolves. So what kicks did Conley wear in his first game? The Air Jordan 31 Battle Grey of course. A few other Jordan Brand guys did the same since the brand is currently pushing this new colorway to tip off the new season.

The Grizzlies ended up with the W as they beat Karl Anthony-Towns and the Timberwolves 102-98.

Finally, a versatile and complementing gum outsole unit finishes off the sleek monochromatic profile.

It?s a good looking pair. I?m all for tonal iterations and this colorway just looks great on the silhouette. The construction looks solid as well.

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.

Reminiscent of the previously released Barons colorway, the Air Jordan 12 GS is introduced in another new finish this Fall 2016.

Just like the aforesaid pair, this version flaunts a predominantly white and wolf grey-colored upper, while vibrant pink is implemented on the branded miniature side panels, tongue, heel section and outsole to pronounce its design. In addition, the upper eyelets and outsole are rendered in a lighter shade of grey to finish off its understated profile.

Priced at $140, you can expect to find this grade school exclusive pair at select Nike and JB stockists starting Saturday, November 19th.

The overall color scheme is nice and the hits of pink are a nice touch of contrast, especially for the ladies. I like how it’s kept minimal overall.

Nike Basketball is rolling out their “Battle Grey” Collection later this weekend, an ominous greyscale take on their three signature shoes and the Nike Hyperdunk 2016 to commemorate battling expectations, doubts, and the haters in the early stages of the season. Likewise, Jordan Brand is unleashing the “Battle Grey” colorway for its Jordan athletes to start the season as a show of solidarity. With a premium cracked leather upper, embossed Swoosh branding to contrast the stitched Jumpman logo on the side panel, and the unique choice to move away from the Flyweave woven upper for a more solid monochromatic aesthetic, the “Battle Grey” look is said to reflect the challenges that the athletes will face in the new season.

A release date of October 29th was originally confirmed, but Jordan Brand states that a release is TBD. Check out more detailed shots below and be on the lookout for this pair to arrive via Nike.com soon.

It would’ve been nice to the see the white/grey Air Jordan 12 “Flint” hit stores, but looks this upcoming November release for girls is the closest we’ll get. Releasing on November 19th is another girls-only Air Jordan 12 Retro that takes on a white/grey color-combo with much more subtle hints of pink on the upper. These aren’t quite as loud as the February joints, but seeing how all the Air Jordan 12 Retro releases have been eaten up by the public, these should be a hit nonetheless. Get another look ahead and mark your Jordan release dates calendars for November 19th.
