Another day, another Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG planned to return to store shelves in the near future. We’ve been treated to the Banned 1s, have the Royal 1s on the horizon, and know that Jordan Brand continues to make the Air Jordan 1 a staple of every seasonal collection from here on out. It’s a shoe that’s as timeless as any retro basketball offering out there, and the last thing we’d want to see is for the Jumpman to put Mike’s original model back in the vault. But is the Air Jordan 1 Black White, a colorway that was released as recently as November 2014, coming back for Spring 2017?

The iconic original Air Jordan 1 Black White colorway’s imminent return was hinted at by Jordan Brand through their latest commercial featuring Kawhi Leonard. Now Twitter user soleheatonfeet has claimed that three rather similar color combinations are all planned for a February 2017 release including what could be the OG Black White colorway. Are you excited about the potential release? Stay tuned for more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

Already released in luxe presentations, the Swooshless Air Jordan 1 Low gets more premium than ever with the upcoming Metallic Silver edition. Reminiscent of the coveted “Liquid Metal” Nike Sportswear sneakers, the Air Jordan 1 sans the Swoosh receives the shiny silver look for the ‘Pinnacle’ treatment this fall. Spotted in Dez Bryant’s latest package from Jordan Brand we posted last week, today we get a detailed look at the eye-catching sneaker. As you can see, each pair will come with a special Jumpman keychain, as well as premium packaging. Expect pairs to hit retail in limited quantities on October 22nd.

We’ve been treated to a number of must-have Air Jordan 1s throughout 2016, but perhaps the most surprising release is the return of the metallic patent leather style found here on this Air Jordan 1 High “Grove Green”. For those of you who don’t remember, the patent leather style of the Air Jordan 1 was a polarizing addition to Mike’s iconic first signature silhouette back in the early aughts with the stand out being the Black/Metallic Gold rendition.

This “Grove Green” pair takes an Oregon-like approach thanks to the combination of a black base and dark Grove Green accents on the Swoosh branding, heel, and toe panels. More interesting is the underlying cracked pattern throughout the green portions for a vintage effect. The traditional ‘Wings’ branding returns on the ankle support while the tongue skips over the classic ‘Nike Air’ for a crisp white Jumpman branding. What do you think of the look? Check out more detailed shots below and grab your pair today from international spots like Size?.

It’s only right that the greatest player in the history of basketball would also have the G.O.A.T. sneaker designer in his camp. So has been the history for Jordan Brand under the tutelage of Tinker Hatfield who designed some of the most iconic Air Jordan signature models. Tinker holds two things near and dear to his heart – Jordan Brand and the University of Oregon. Today Jordan Brand and Tinker look back at the Air Jordan Oregon PE history and talk about some of the most outstanding colorways and the process of combining UO and JB. It all started back in 2011 when Tinker was helping the Ducks think up new ways to outfit their athletes when traveling to their games. What resulted was some of the most sought after exclusive Jordans ever.

“I felt like there was something missing,” Tinker explained about the track suits and travel gear for Oregon athletes. “It wasn?t really that exciting and no one was talking about it. And I felt like there could be this excitement driven by leveraging the history of the Jordan Brand, even though we aren?t talking about a Jordan school, but just the history of the brand and Michael Jordan himself.”

Check out more of these Jordan Oregon PE pairs below and be sure to let us know which exclusive is your favorite by taking your thoughts to the comments section. For more of this story and Tinker’s unique view of the history of the “Oregon” Jordan PE, be sure to head over to Nike SNKRS.

I like this pair a bit more than the recent release with pony hair due to the model?s overall makeup and colorway. I just like the utilization of various leather detailing and its tonal finish. Like everyone else, I?m just against that price tag.

I like the silhouette overall, but, I?m not too keen on this colorway. If you?re a Raptors fan, this should excite you though.

In less than a week, the latest premium version of the Air Jordan 4 will be dropping. Only question is, are you down to drop $400 on the Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian?

This luxury version of the Air Jordan 4 is definitely my favorite from all the premium 4s that have dropped this year. The quilted leather upper in the Obsidian colorway truly give it a clean lifestyle look. Add in the Copper hits on the eyelets and heel and you’ve got yourself the perfect contrast to the tonal sneaker. Premium features such as the leather laces, leather tongue tag and leather lining give this pair even more of a Pinnacle vibe. Do all these upgrades made the shoe worth $400? That’s for you to decide. If you want to get a pair, you will be able to do so on Saturday, September 17.

I love the look of the shoe, but I can’t justify paying $400 for them. $250? Yes. $400? No?

This past April, boxer Gennady Golovkin signed with Jordan Brand joining Andre Ward and Roy Jones Jr.

Last night Golovkin took on Kell Brook in a fight that ended in the fifth round as Brook’s corner threw in the towel to save him from any more punishment from GGG. Golovkin wore special Jordan Brand shorts and boxing boots with the colors of Kazakhstan. The shoes come in a combination of teal with yellow and features his “GGG” logo as well as the Jumpman logo.

Next weekend we’ll be seeing the release of the Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian which features a quilted leather upper done in all-blue. However, today we get a first look at a new Air Jordan 4 that could also be hitting retailers in the future.

Seen above is a new colorway of the Air Jordan 4 that comes dressed with a black suede all throughout the upper with gold detailing on the waffle eyelets. This colorway may be part of the “Premium” series of Air Jordan 4s which all have been retailing for $400. Other details include what looks to be suede detailing on the midsole and a glow-in-the-dark translucent outsole that features an “X” on it.

Not many details are available on this Air Jordan 4 at the moment but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

I have a feeling this Air Jordan won’t retail for $190. I like the suede used on the upper and the gold hits as well.

I’m not really sure why the Air Jordan 5 GS Raptors isn’t getting much shine. Several reasons I can think on include: They were recently unveiled and they’re already releasing next week. They’re a GS exclusive. People are still trying to get a they’re hands on a pair of Jordan 1 Breds. Whatever the case may be, for those of you sleeping on the pair, wake up (assuming you an fit on a pair of GS)!

Rocking the old school colors of the Toronto Raptors, the shoe comes dressed in a synthetic upper done in Black, while the Purple and Red accents on the branding, lining and sole unit provide the Raptors theme. Although there is no official linkage between the shoe and the team, it looks like the streets have already decided on giving the shoe its rightful nickname. Releasing next Saturday (September 17th) in GS sizes only, how many of you who can fit in a pair are going after one.

People are sleeping on them. They’re pretty cool. If I was a Raptor fan, I’d be all up on them!

A week from today we’ll be seeing the release of the Air Jordan 4 Premium in the Obsidian colorway.

After dropping the all-black textured leather pair with pony hair detailing earlier this year, up next is this all-blue pair which comes with a premium quilted leather upper that has been paired up with rose gold detailing on the waffle eyelets and the detailing on the heel tab. A white sole unit wraps things up on this luxurious pair of Air Jordan 4s.

Look for this Air Jordan 4 at select Jordan Brand retailers on September 17th for $400.

I like the colorway and the use of quilted leather, but that $400 price tag is just too much. I’d consider buying these for half the price. That’ll probably happen to I’ll be OK missing out on these.

Dez Bryan recently posted a picture on social media of some of his latest Air Jordan deliveries and there was one pair that caught everyone’s attention. It was an Air Jordan 1 Low which featured a metallic silver upper.

It turns out that this is actually another Pinnacle Air Jordan 1, but of the low top variety. This Air Jordan 1 Low OG Pinnacle comes dressed in a Metallic Silver upper with White accents on the inner liner and sole unit. Other details include 3M detailing, grey waxed laces, and a Nike Air patch on the tongue. The shoes also come with a new gold 3D Jumpman hangtag, and a special box with a gold foiled paper that reads “Limits, Like Fears, Are Often Just An Illusion – Michael Jordan”

There is no release date at the moment for this Metallic Silver Air Jordan 1 Low OG Pinnacle, but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more.

This colorway is too flashy for me. The only things I like are the Jumpman hangtag and the wrapping paper. Haha.

Last year we saw the return of the Air Jordan Dub Zero to celebrate Jordan Brand’s 30th anniversary. While most of the colorways quickly went on sale pretty quick, it appears that wasn’t enough discouragement for Jordan Brand to put the silhouette in the vault for good.

Judging from these early looks above, the Air Jordan Dub Zero will once again be receiving the retro treatment in 2016. The two color options include a black/grey pair and a white/grey/green pair. No release date has been announced yet, but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more.

What are your thoughts on Jordan Brand releasing more colorways of the Dub Zero? Good or bad idea?

via: US11

Author’s Take

I’m not gonna lie, I don’t think the Dub Zero is that bad. I had a pair back when I was about 18 and I liked it. I would consider maybe buying another pair, but not in either of these colorways.
