The Air Jordan 31 Shattered Backboard, inspired by the popular Air Jordan 1 ?Shattered Backboard? — a nod to MJ?s infamous dunk back in Italy during 1985 — is displayed in more imagery.

Set to debut this weekend, the sneaker flaunts a similar color scheme with black and orange dominating its woven and synthetic leather upper. Hints of white adorn its faded swooshes on the side panels, while a notable detail consists of a ?Shattered Backboard? graphic gracing the inner tongues. Finally, a versatile gum outsole finishes off and complement its overall profile.

Retailing for $185, you can purchase this standout pair at select JB and Nike accounts starting next Saturday, October 8th.

The model has been rendered in appealing colorways and this is another solid option to come. This pair might be the best one so far. The gum bottom makes it more appealing.

Los Angeles Clippers’ star forward, Blake Griffin, receives his own player exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 10.

As depicted above, the classic basketball sneaker is treated in the team’s signature colorway. Vibrant blue and red is prominent on the eyelets, laces, tongue, midsole and outsole unit, while it’s juxtaposed against a white nubuck upper. Additionally, camouflage print adorns the interior, while Griffin’s number “32” is embroidered across the collar section to signify its distinct theme.

A general release isn’t expected, although, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

In this lightning, it looks more of a NY Knicks theme. It’s a nice colorway overall.

A few days ago, Michigan and Jordan Brand held an event that unveiled their brand new men’s and women’s basketball Jordan Brand uniforms. That very same night, they also had in display matching retro player exclusive Air Jordans. Done in the school?s signature colors of Maize and Blue, the Air Jordan 1 to the Air Jordan XXX were on full display. One model moticeably absent was the Air Jordan 31, that is until now.

The Air Jordan 31 Michigan PE you see above was also on display that night, and just like the rest of the Michigan PE collection, it’s also done in a clean Maize and Blue color scheme. The two-toned gradient motif on the upper is then placed on a White midsole and Blue outsole to complete the look of the shoe. No word on whether these will release to the public, but if I were a betting man, I ‘d say these remain PE. You can look, but you can’t touch.

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.

Anyone tired of Air Jordan 12s yet? If you’re still feenin’ for more, they’re comin’ right up! Said to be a limited edition release, here is a sneak peak at what is currently known as the Air Jordan 12 3M Reflective.

This special version of the Jordan 12 has the model’s White upper done in 3M fashion, that means the entire shoe lights up when flash/light hits it. Aside from the White/3M upper, the shoe also comes with hits of Black detailing throughout, some pretty cool wood lace tips and Gold detailing all around the shoe. Although it’s not confirmed yet, features such as the special foreign branding on the tongue leads us to believe that this retro release could end up being a China exclusive. No word on when these drop, but stay tuned and we’ll have that info for you as soon as it becomes available. Thoughts on the Air Jordan 12 3M Reflective? Dope or too flashy?

Author’s Take

I’m not crazy about the 3M upper, but when it’s not lit, it’s just a Jordan 12 with a White upper. Nothing to innovative about that, right?

Earlier this week it was reported that the Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday release date has been pushed up to October 8th. That means that people who were patiently waiting for these to drop only have to wait for two more weeks! It’s been a cool minute since Jordan Brand has dropped a Jordan 3 (2 years), but the wait is finally over.

Just like it’s Cyber Monday counterpart that dropped last year (Air Jordan 1), the Cyber Monday of the Air Jordan 3 comes in a Black and White color scheme. A Black premium leather takes care of the entire upper including the laces, lining and branding, while sharp contrast is created by placing the upper on top of an all-White sole unit. Although simple in colorway, the shoe lets its quality do all the talking. Dropping on October 8th for $190, make sure you visit our Air Jordan 3 Cyber Monday hub page for all the latest news, info and images of this upcoming drop.

Author’s Take

I’ve heard good things about the quality and feel of the leather, but it’s still too plain for me. I love the Jordan 3, but I feel like something’s missing in this pair. Maybe a gum bottom would have helped, but as of right now, this is a pass for me.

The Cleveland Browns are currently 0-3. It;s safe to say that the team has seen better days. Although that may be the case, Browns defensive back, and Jordan Brand athlete Joe Haden continues to try to make the best of it, all while rocking exclusive Jordan Brand cleats. Up next are these Air Jordan 9 cleats done in the Cleveland Browns colorway.

Both pairs of cleats are done in the aforementioned Browns colorway, which has the cleats done in Brown and Orange or Orange and Brown. What pair will he be wearing tomorrow against the Redskins? You’re going to have to tune and to find out. Let us know which pair of cleats you like the most? As for me, I’d have to go with the Brown and Orange pair he has on.

Mike Conley used to be a part of team Under Armour. He recently made the switch to Jordan Brand and has no regret doing so. During a a recent interview at Media Day, Conley emphasized how happy he was for joining Jordan Brand and for the opportunity to work alongside Michael Jordan. Aside from expressing his love for his new shoe shoe with Jordan Brand, he also make it known that he’s also very happy that he no longer has to worry about wearing Under Armour Curry Chef sneakers, you know, the sneakers often mistaken for the ones on your dad’s wardrobe or the ones you find on the feet of a lot of nurses all over the country.

Alexis Morgan asked Conley about the all-white Under Armour low-tops. Conley responded to the reporter, “Yeah, I’m not messin’ with those anymore.”

Above you will see a picture of Conley wearing the brand new Air Jordan 31 Fine Print. Good move by Conley? I can’t wait to see how Curry is going to respond to this on the court.

Another original Air Jordan 13 colorway is returning in 2017. We already notified you about the Flint colorway making a comeback in 2017, but it appears that the iconic “Bulls” make-up of white, black, and red that Jordan frequently wore will be releasing next year as well. We haven’t seen an Air Jordan 13 Retro release since the CP3 and Doernbecher pairs of 2015, so these will be hotly coveted for sure. Stay tuned for a firm release date.
