The Air Jordan 13 was originally designed with the black panther in mind to showcase Michael Jordan’s methodical approach to attacking and dominating the game of basketball. The unique midsole and outsole unit was shaped to pay homage to the structure of a panther’s paw while that holographic branding mimicked the black cat’s always watching eyes. Now Jordan Brand will kick off the Spring 2017 release slate with the premium Air Jordan 13 “Black Cat” colorway, slated to release at retailers on January 21st.

The Air Jordan 13 Black Cat utilizes an all-black-everything colorway to truly pay homage to the panther’s dark coat of fur but things get a little more interesting thanks to the use of full 3M reflective detailing on the upper and matching speckles on the laces. A brand new black cat logo is rumored to be hidden on the shoe’s insoles as well, but we’ll keep you updated on that detail once we have more photos to showcase.

Check out more of the latest Air Jordan 13 Black Cat after the break and stay tuned for more Jordan release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

In honor of “Banned” Day, Jordan Brand has not only restocked and released new colorways of the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 31, but they have also given the classic a makeover.

The Air Jordan 1 Banned Satin was released today in limited quantities to celebrate the anniversary of the original Air Jordan 1 Banned. The shoe features the same color setup as the original Air Jordan 1 made out of leather, but instead of using leather it goes with a much fancier satin material on the upper.

It’s being said that this Air Jordan 1 Banned Satin is limited to only 501 pairs worldwide and they became available today at the 108 Wooster St. pop-up in New York City.

What are your thoughts? Keep it locked to Kicks On Fire for a possible wider release.

Love the colorway, but I’m not too sure about the satin upper. I’d have to see these in person to decide whether I like them or not.

After releasing out of nowhere this morning alongside the Air Jordan 1 Black Toe and Air Jordan 1 Banned to celebrate “Banned Day”, we now have more information regarding this new colorway of the Air Jordan 31.

We have now found out this this Air Jordan 31 will be getting a wider release in early November. Known as the Air Jordan 31 Chicago, this colorway of the 31 draws inspiration from the OG colorway of the Air Jordan 1 and features a White and Varsity Red Flyweave and leather upper with Black accents placed on the Swoosh and Jumpman logos, laces, inner liner, and midsole.

Look for the Air Jordan 31 Chicago to release on November 5, 2016 for $185.

I love the Chicago 1s, and I think that Jordan Brand did a solid job with this Chicago colorway of the Air Jordan 31. I’m looking forward to seeing these in person.

Enzo Amore wasn’t in action last night, but he was ringside to support his tag team partner Big Cass as he took on Carl Anderson during Monday Night Raw.

Showing his support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Enzo decided to lace up the white/pink colorway of the Air Jordan 12 that released earlier this year. Thanks to the new extended GS sizing, Enzo was able to squeeze into a pair, unless he took the customization route and had these specially made. Check out the clip above in which Enzo somehow found a way to get involved in the match while catching some air in his Js.

October 18th is a pretty big day in Jordan Brand’s history as it is known as the day that Michael Jordan first wore the Air Jordan 1 Banned/Bred back in 1984.

To celebrate the occasion, Jordan Brand has released a few special sneakers. The Air Jordan 1 Banned/Bred that released earlier this year has restocked and they have also released the Air Jordan 1 Black Toe (which is scheduled to return on November 5th), and a new Chicago colorway of the Air Jordan 31. All three sneakers released in NYC at the Foot Locker located at 112 W 34th St.

I need me a pair of this Black Toe 1s! Those Chicago 31s are also pretty clean.

The post The Air Jordan 1 Banned, Air Jordan 1 Black Toe, And Air Jordan 31 Chicago All Released Today appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

31 years ago today, the legend of the “Banned” Air Jordans began. Since then, the infamous black/red Air Jordan 1 has been an annual celebration for sneakerheads, but earlier this August the story was retold in conjunction with the debut of the Jordan 31. Today, in celebration of the original banning, Jordan Brand is restocking the Air Jordan 1 “Banned”, with a limited release of the shoes and accompanying apparel occurring right now at a pop-up shop at 108 Wooster St. in New York City. In addition, a limited “Satin” Air Jordan 1 will be available, rumored to be limited to 500 pairs. There’s bound to be more in store today, so stay tuned.

At 10:18 AM EST this morning, Jordan Brand opened the doors of a special pop-up shop in the heart of the SoHo district in downtown New York City. To celebrate the anniversary of the NBA banning the devilish black/red sneakers that Michael wore, Jordan Brand set up shop to re-release the Banned Jordan 1 as well as a limited-edition run of the Satin Jordan 1 “Banned”, which features the iconic shoe rebuilt in that vintage sportswear material. In addition to the shoes, a limited selection of apparel including the satin Wings jacket, t-shirts, and more were available. Get a look inside the space and visit 108 Wooster St. for yourself if you’re in the area.

In the last couple of weeks we’ve seen the Cal Golden Bears, UNC Tar Heels, and Michigan Wolverines all receive their own PE colorways of the Air Jordan 31.

Since Michigan is the newest Jordan Brand-sponsored school, it’s only right that they receive more than one pair. Pictured here is the “Home” PE colorway of the Air Jordan 31. This 31 features a White and Maize Flyweave and leather upper with navy accents placed on the Jumpman logo, midsole, and inner liner. Just like the blue Away pair, this Home colorway also comes with Michigan written on the translucent outsoles.

What are your thoughts? Do you like the Away or Home colorway better?

Author’s Take

Even though this colorway will be harder to keep clean because of the White upper, I like it better than the blue Away pair. The Jumpman and Nike logos just pop much better on this pair.

This past weekend we saw the Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday release and sit on shelves (and still sitting) in what many call a moment of confusion. I thought it was a pretty plain colorway so I’m not surprised to see them sit, no matter if it is an Air Jordan 3.

Up next this weekend we’ll see Jordan Brand release two more retros, but these will most likely not sit on shelves. Up first we have the Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle in Metallic Gold. 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 that takes inspiration from the Larry O?Brien trophy. 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.

You’ll be able to purchase your pair on October 22nd for a retail price of $250.

Author?s Take

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.

In addition to the Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold that drops this weekend, we’ll also be seeing a Pinnacle version of the Air Jordan 1 Low hit retailers.

Just like the Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold, this colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Low is also meant to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Michael Jordan winning his first NBA title back in 1991. This low-top version of the Air Jordan 1 features a full Metallic Silver upper and has taken the “Swoosh-less” look that we’ve already seen a few times this year. Tonal laces, Nike Air branding on the tongue, and a white sole unit complete the look on this Air Jordan 1.

Look for this shiny Air Jordan 1 to release on October 22nd for a retail price of $160. Will you cop?

Just like the Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle, I just think the colorway is too flashy and not something I would wear too often.

Jordan Brand will be releasing their Pinnacle Collection this weekend that includes Metallic Gold and Silver colorways of the Air Jordan 6 and Air Jordan 1 Low. But the collection doesn’t include only sneakers, but also slides.

Seen above is the Air Jordan 5 Hydro Pinnacle Slide. This Jordan slide features a White Solarsoft footbed with a Metallic Bronze velcro strap that has been hit with a Jumpman logo. Just like the Jordan 6 and Jordan 1, this pair of slides will also be accompanied by a Jumpman hangtag. Retail price is $75 and they release on October 22nd. Will you cop?

via: Nike

Author’s Take

$75 for a pair of slides? These better be the most comfortable slides I’ve ever worn. Never mind, these are a pass for me.

The post A Pair Of Slides Will Also Be Included In The Air Jordan Pinnacle Collection appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

An overview of the purported Air Jordan 13 Black Cat has now been unveiled, as the colorway is noted to be inspired by the black panther.

As suggested, the sneaker boasts a stealthy black finish across its entire upper with 3M reflective detailing evident across the component, as well as throughout the laces. The respective theme is further evident on the insoles with a graphic, while the circular hologram on the heel essentially mimics the panther?s eye with a greenish hue. In addition, glossy accents are applied on its matching rubber sole unit to finish off the understated profile.

This pair is suggested to make its official debut sometime during Spring 2017, but, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

Author’s Take

I like this theme and 3M detailing is solid. This pair is pretty versatile altogether and it should garner the attention it deserves.
