The Air Jordan 12 will be evolving this weekend as we’ve officially said goodbye to Summer and welcomed the new Fall season.

Ditching the traditional leather upper that is typically seen on this popular Air Jordan silhouette, Jordan Brand has decided to instead cover this Air Jordan 12 with a new wool construction all over the upper. All of the wool material on the upper has been done in Dark Grey with Black leather overlays on the mudguard. Metallic Silver accents also appear on the upper eyelets to give the shoe a finishing touch. This Air Jordan 12 will join the Nylon pair that released a couple of weeks back as retros designed with new materials for the Fall.

The Air Jordan 12 Wool will release on October 1, 2016 in men’s sizing for $200 and GS (3.5Y ? 7Y) for $150. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 12 Wool launch page now for more images, the latest info and release details.

Author’s Take

I like the new wool construction on the Air Jordan 12 but I think it would have looked better in all-black. So I won’t be spending $200 plus tax since I don’t “really” like it.

Russell Westbrook made his first solo appearance without Kevin Durant during the Oklahoma City Thunder’s media day availability this past Friday. While everyone expects Russ to have an incredible year statistically now that he’ll be the lone superstar on OKC, perhaps Jordan Brand is leading that push with their latest Air Jordan 31 video spot that may have taken a subtle jab at KD. Westbrook showed up to media day wearing a brand new Air Jordan 31 OKC Home PE to help jumpstart the clean slate. Inspired by the Air Jordan 1, the Jordan 31’s overall silhouette is a bit more lifestyle friendly than past performance models. The Flyknit and leather upper display a fresh white for an extra simple aesthetic while vibrant orange pops on the ankle, heel and Jumpman branding. Check out a full look at Russell’s latest and stay tuned for more upcoming PEs throughout the NBA’s pre-season media day festivities right here on Sneaker News.

When it comes to football cleats, all of the attention is currently focused on the adidas Yeezy 350 Cleat and the adidas Yeezy 750 Cleat. But adidas is no match for all of the PE cleats that Jordan Brand has created for some of its top athletes.

Up above we take a look at a special Air Jordan 7 PE turf shoe that was made exclusively for Super Bowl Champion Earl Thomas of the Seattle Seahawks. Instead of the typical cleated sole, this Air Jordan 7 features a nubbed rubber outsole for artificial surfaces. The shoe comes with a navy and silver upper along with green accents and speckled detailing on the midsole.

Jabari Parker has a habit of turning heads on NBA Media Day. During his rookie season, he wore a hot pair of Air Jordan 12s that eventually made their way on to the court this past March. Today for NBA Media Day, Parker did it again with a pair of cream-colored Air Jordan 11s. Must be nice, I guess…

Looks like we might have to remake this in NBA 2K17 soon….

The fall season kicks off in earnest this October 1st with the release of an Air Jordan 12 unlike any other in the form of the Air Jordan 12 Wool. Draped in an wool upper, this will be the third predominantly black Air Jordan 12 to release this year, alongside the Air Jordan 12 The Master and the recent Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon, which used a material that has rarely been seen on any Air Jordan retro, let alone the iconic 12 silhouette. While the Black Nylon might be better suited for a rainy day, this new wool-covered retro seems to be designed for a more casual audience with an eye for sportswear more than performance. Expect to see plenty of sneakerheads rocking these with their long coats and sweaters during the windy fall months and the cool winter season.

Even more detailed images of the forthcoming Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard, alongside its original counterpart is featured, as it’s scheduled to make its debut very soon.

As previously reported, the palette is inspired by the infamous jersey that MJ wore during an exhibition match in Italy during 1985. However, this variation, flaunts a reverse finish and boasts a color coordination that is similar on the iconic ?Chicago? theme. Premium tumbled and smooth leather comprises the sneaker?s build, while contrasting black accents are more focalized on the Swooshes, wings logo, collar section and laces.

I?m biased towards the silhouette and I really like this revamped makeup. It has more lifestyle appeal, plus offering more warmth in the colder months. You can?t go wrong with the colorway. I also like how it looks in various lighting conditions.

More detailed imagery of this upcoming Air Jordan 31 Shattered Backboard is featured, as the newly-introduced basketball sneaker is simply inspired by the popular Air Jordan 1 ?Shattered Backboard? — a nod to MJ?s infamous dunk back in Italy during 1985.

Essentially draped in a similar color scheme, black and orange is dominant across its woven and synthetic leather upper, while pops of white are utilized for the faded swoosh. A distinguishable element consists of a ?Shattered Backboard? graphic gracing the inner tongues to further coordinate with its respective theme, while it?s all adhered atop a gum outsole to nicely coordinate with its palette.

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

Author’s Take

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

While it was first seen on Michael Jordan’s daughter, Jasmine, last year, this exclusive Air Jordan 1 is showcased once again, this time by Jordan Brand?s PR, Samantha Baker.

Perhaps suggesting that it might be releasing to the public in the near future, the sneaker is essentially elevated with luxe flair through the application of reptile-textured green suede across its entire upper. Gold Swooshes further complement its premium profile as it all rests atop a matching green midsole unit and versatile gum outsole.

A release date has not been announced and may possibly be an exclusive style for friends and family only.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

Hopefully it does get a release date, but overall, the construction and colorway is another solid rendition of the silhouette. I like it a lot.

The Air Jordan 3 will be returning in an all-new colorway this Fall 2016, after a brief two year hiatus from production.

As the moniker suggests, it won?t coincide with the Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday, since the sneaker is expected to make its debut in the coming weeks ahead instead. Draped in a simplistic two-tone finish, the sneaker?s smooth and textured leather is rendered in black, while it?s juxtaposed atop a clean white rubber sole unit.

Notable elements include the classic Jumpman embroidery on the tongue and insoles, while the rear portion bears a Jumpman branded patch treated in a matte finish.

Retailing for $190, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike retailers on October 15th.

I?m biased towards the silhouette and even though it looks somewhat boring, the colorway is a classic. I?m not really into it that much yet, but, I?ll still probably purchase since it?s a simple and clean offering.

We’re getting closer and closer to the release of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam which is sure to be one of the most sought after sneaker releases of 2016.

Returning to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Space Jam, here we take a closer look at the packaging that the sneaker will be housed in. We know not everyone cares about the box and what comes inside the box aside from the shoes, but at the same time there’s lots of people that do. Plus it’s always cool to get extra stuff, it just makes the release a little more meaningful. The packaging/box features a Space Jam/Looney Tunes theme along with special wrapping paper and a box with a “45” on it and galaxy print on the inside of the box.
