The Oklahoma City Thunder’s media day was this past Friday. You know Russell Westbrook was going to take full advantage of this day and wear a pair of sneakers that would sure turn some heads. He did just that by rocking a never before seen Air Jordan 31 OKC PE.

With the NBA season fast approaching, it’s a sure thing that we’re going to see our fair share of Jordan Brand athletes (and even non-Jordan Brand athletes) wear the Air Jordan 31 with a handful of PEs thrown in the mix as well. Getting the ball rolling early is Westbrook with this pair. The shoe comes in a White upper done in the shoe’s normal construction. That tonal look is offset by the Orange accents to help give it that OKC feel. Thoughts on the shoe? Personally, I wish it had some of the shade of Blue the Thunder wear, it would look a whole lot better in my opinion.

The latest Air Jordan Heiress offering comes in the form of an Air Jordan 1. Looking to exude a royalty aesthetic, Jordan Brand decides to give the shoe a velvet and Gold colorway. The end result is a luxurious one, what did you expect?

The Air Jordan 1 is the latest addition to the women’s “Heiress” collection. The girls exclusive collection takes on classic Air Jordan retros and Jordan Brand models and give them a premium look. This pair comes with a Burgundy velvet construction offset by the Metallic Gold accents placed on the branding throughout. A White midsole an tonal translucent outsole round out the look of the shoe. Said to already be available on eBay, it’s only a matter of time before these get an official release date.

It’s pretty nice. I like the construction of it, and to be quite honest, had it come in my size I’d think long and hard about getting a pair.

Jordan Brand is all in when it comes to their brand new boot, the Jordan Future Boot. Although the Fall-ready boot dropped just a few weeks ago, new iteration and colorway seem to drop every couple of days. Up next is the Jordan Future Boot Grove Green.

The Jordan Future Boot Grove Green comes dressed in a Dark Green mesh constructed upper. The mesh is then covered in a eVent waterproofing to make it suitable for wetter days ahead. The Air Jordan 11 tooling is found on the midsole in White to help give it some lifestyle flare. Want a pair? You can now get your hands at one directly through Nike for a cool $225.

Not really big on the construction. If anything, I prefer the suede version. Price is a little steep too, but what are you going to do, right?

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.

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.
