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 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.

Author’s Take

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.

The Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard has arrived at select accounts overseas first, while the sneaker will make its debut stateside by next weekend.

Flaunting a color scheme that is similar to the iconic ?Chicago? theme, this palette however, is inspired by the infamous jersey that MJ wore during an exhibition match in Italy during 1985, although flaunting a reverse finish. Composed of premium tumbled and smooth leather, the vibrant profile is nicely subdued by black accents gracing the Swooshes, wings logo, collar section and laces.

Priced at $160, you can purchase this standout pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting Saturday, October 8th. Men’s sizing will be only offered.

I still prefer the original pair, but, this rendition is pretty solid as well. This should garner the attention it deserves.

The Air Jordan 12 Playoff edition is expected to return next year as part of JB’s standout Spring 2017 lineup, although this time, in a new low-top profile.

Showcasing its initial look, the sneaker seems to stay true to its original makeup. The basketball silhouette is rendered in a simplistic color scheme of black and white across its premium leather upper, mudguard and throughout its rubber sole unit. Contrasting accents are evidenced with metallic silver metal eyelets are added, in addition to pops of varsity red gracing the tongue branding, ?23? PE and heel tab.

Expect this model to debut at select JB and Nike stockists sometime during Spring 2017.

I prefer its original cut a lot, but, this rendition should garner enough attention as well. The colorway is a classic and you can’t go wrong with a pair.

More iterations of the Air Jordan 12 continue to be unveiled, as this latest rendition consists of a low-top in a brand new colorway.

Sporting a predominantly grey hue across what seems to be a nubuck-based upper and leather overlays along the forefoot, the monochromatic makeup is complemented with hits of navy blue and yellow accents gracing the rear, insoles and outsole.

Perhaps this may be a nod to Jordan Brand?s newest partnership with Michigan, the release date for this pair is suggested to be sometime during Spring 2017.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

Author’s Take

I don’t really like the sneaker in this low-cut profile, but, I do like the tonal finish. I would’ve preferred it on its original profile.

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. Also I don’t see myself wearing this shoe that much if I were to buy it.

Back in 2013 Russell Westbrook broke out a Oklahoma City Thunder PE colorway of the Air Jordan 3 as the Thunder faced the Los Angeles Lakers. After seeing that exclsuive colorway for that one game, we have not seen it ever since. Until today.

Pictured above are detailed images of that very same shoe that was worn by the current face of Jordan Brand. This Thunder-inspired colorway of the Air Jordan 3 features a Black leather upper with blue, yellow, and orange accents to complete the Thunder look. The traditional elephant print in black and grey is also seen on the toe and ankle/heel. It’s being said that only about 10 pairs of these are in existence with four of them belonging to Russell Westbrook. The pair above belongs to sneaker collector and photographer Anthony Jordan and the others were given out to “friends and family.”

Take a detailed look at the shoe above and let us know your thoughts.

We all know that this has been the year of the Air Jordan 12, but Jordan Brand is taking things a step further by also releasing Air Jordan 12 baseball cleats.

Four new color options are beginning to arrive at select retailers now including Black, Silver, Blue, and Red. With the 2016 MLB Playoffs starting in a few days, the timing for these couldn’t be any better. Each pair retails for $95, which is less than half the retail price of an original basketball version of the Air Jordan 12.

Any baseball fans out there plan on scooping up a pair? Or maybe even people that collect Air Jordan 12s?

The Air Jordan 12 frenzy continues as we now take a look at official images of the next GS pair that will hit retailers next week.

Featuring a premium tumbled leather throughout the majority of the upper, this Air Jordan 12 for the ladies has some Charlotte Hornets vibes to it as Blue Cap dominates the leather upper. Dark Purple Dust can then be seen on the laces, midsole, outsole, inner liner, heel, and the branding. The upper eyelets have been done in Metallic Silver to provide a slight pop to this Air Jordan 12 that will be arriving at retailers on October 8th for $140.

Author’s Take

Not sure what JB was thinking with this colorway. If the majority of the shoe was done in white with blue & purple serving as the accent colors it would have looked much better. I’m sure lots of guys would have even picked up a pair.
