The next rendition of the Air Jordan 12 with a nylon/neoprene upper is almost available, as it?s set to make its official debut starting this weekend.

Now sporting a new water-resistant makeup, the model also ensures a more lightweight and durable build. Its traditional leather element is still applied on the forefoot and inner lateral section to retain its OG flair, while the stealthy colorway is accentuated with pops of red for the signature Jumpman branding across its tongue. Finally, a clean white rubber sole unit tops off the simplistic design.

Priced at $190 ? GS, PS, and TD sizes will be offered as well and retail for $140, $80 and $60 respectively.

Author’s Take

It?ll be interesting to see how this model does. This variation looks really solid. I always wondered if the brand would explore new materials and apply it on classics just to see how it would be received.

Jimmy Fallon Is Already Wearing Russell Westbrooks Jordan Lifestyle Shoe

We can’t wait to see what’s in store for Russell Westbrook this season. If history is any indication, the man is about to be a walking triple-double en route to MVP consideration given the fact that he won’t be sharing the spotlight with Kevin Durant anymore. Jordan Brand has a lot planned for The Brodie too, from the Air Jordan XXX1 to some not-so-subliminal shots at KD in the latest video spot. Now we get a look at Russell’s latest Jordan Brand lifestyle model courtesy of his appearance on Jimmy Fallon.

The late night host broke out a pair of the upcoming Russell Westbrook lifestyle shoe featuring a premium “Banned” black and red leather high-top upper to show just how far we’ve come in terms of showing off new sneakers on late night. Before, David Letterman had to tape over the Nike Swooshes when talking to Michael Jordan about the Air Jordan 1 “Banned” all the way back in 1985. Now hosts are wearing the model for the athlete. Pretty cool. Check out the full video after the break and stay tuned for more Jordan release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

Official Images Of The Air Jordan 31 Fine Print

Air Jordan 31 Air Jordan 31 1 Air Jordan 31 2 Air Jordan 31 3 Air Jordan 31 4 Air Jordan 31 5 Air Jordan 31 6 Air Jordan 31 7

The Air Jordan 31 Fine Print will consist as the latest variation of the newly-introduced basketball sneaker, as it’s noted as an homage to Michael Jordan?s original Nike contract that was signed back in October 24, 1984.

Now showcasing its official look, the model will also be offered in GS sizing. The sneaker’s traditional palette of black/white and wolf grey throughout its woven and leather makeup is essentially reminiscent of the colors seen on the document. All resting atop a crisp white midsole unit and icy translucent outsole, it also bears MJ?s signature on the forefoot to cap off the respective theme.

Priced at $185, you can expect to buy this standout pair at select Nike and JB stockists starting next Saturday, September 17th.

Author’s Take

If I wasn?t made aware of the theme, it seems just like another generic colorway that was bound to make its way on to the silhouette. It?s a nice pair though nonetheless.

The Air Jordan 1 Reverse Shattered Backboard Might Release Next Month

Air Jordan 1 1 Air Jordan 1

The Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard, which was inspired by the jersey that Michael Jordan wore when he shattered the backboard during a 1985 Nike exhibition game in Italy, is reportedly receiving a reverse or alternate variation.

This time, unlike its original counterpart, orange and white will be the predominant tones, while black accents will be applied to further complement its respective theme. Comprised of premium tumbled and smooth leather, the model is outfitted with a white midsole unit and orange outsole.

Resulting into a perfect Halloween pair, this variation is suggested to make its debut sometime in October for a retail price tag of $160.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

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

Official images of the Air Jordan 4 Premium in Obsidian are finally revealed, as the sneaker is set to make its debut at retailers very soon.

Exuding lifestyle appeal, the iconic silhouette bears varying quilted leather elements across its upper to emit a clean and luxurious profile. Accents of copper are evidenced on the eyelets, studded detailing on the heel and special jumpman hangtag to pronounce its subdued makeup, while also complementing the overall palette perfectly. All adhered atop a clean white rubber sole unit that?s equipped with the signature air bubble component in the heel, the model will also come in a special dust bag.

With suggested retail price at $400, you can purchase this limited edition pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting Saturday, September 17.

Author’s Take

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.

Were Two Days Away From The Release Of The Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon

jordan 12 2 jordan 12 1 jordan 12

Who’s ready for the release of the Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon? If you are then you’ll only have to wait two more days to get your hands on a pair.

We’ve seen lots of Air Jordan 12s already release this year (with more still on the way), but none of them quite like this pair. This Air Jordan 12 strays away from the traditional leather upper and decides to go with a durable nylon instead. The majority of the shoe is done in Black including the leather overlays. White has been added on the midsole/outsole while a red Jumpman on the tongue provides a nice pop.

Will you cop come September 10th? Retail price for men’s pairs will be $190. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon (Neoprene) launch page now for more images, info and release details.

Author’s Take

I have no problems with the new material on the upper, I actually think it’s a good thing that Jordan Brand is experimenting with new looks. What I don’t like is the colorway. Did we really another black Air Jordan 12??

Release Date: Air Jordan 12 GS Dark Purple Dust

Metallic Silver upper eyelets to give the shoe some shine.

I have no problem with the purple hits on the shoe, but that light blue leather just looks weird to me.

Russell Westbrook Wears The Unreleased Jordan Westbrook 0.2 At The Yeezy Season 4 Show

russell-westbrook_unreleased jordans russell-westbrook-unreleased jordans

Russell Westbrook was in attendance at yesterday Yeezy Season 4 show. Surprisingly, the fashionista kept things simple as he was seen wearing a White tee and a pair of skinny jeans. The footwear though, that’s another story. Westbrook decided to bring out a pair of Jordan that haven’t even released. No, not the Jordan 11 Space Jams, not the Jordan 3 True Blues, Rather, Westbrook decided to wear his very own upcoming signature shoe, the Jordan Westbrook 0.2.

Coming in a Black and Gold colorway, what are your thoughts on Westbrook’s upcoming signature model?

On a side note, don’t you find it kind of weird to see a Jordan/Nike athlete attending a Kanye West event? I guess when it comes to fashion, anything goes for Westbrook? It could have been worse, he could have showed up in a pair of Yeezy’s right? Yikes.

Check Out The Winter-Ready Jordan Future Boot

JORDAN FUTURE BOOT 1 JORDAN FUTURE BOOT 2 JORDAN FUTURE BOOT 3 JORDAN FUTURE BOOT 4

The Jordan Future hasn’t dropped a new colorway for quite some time now. The last time we wrote about the Jordan Brand lifestyle model was close to 1 year ago. Is the Future finished or is it done? While I don’t have the answers for that particular question, I do know what Jordan Brand is planning on releasing the Jordan Future Boot. Yup, a boot version of the Jordan lifestyle sneaker.

Above you will see the two colorways of the Jordan Futre Boot that will release first sometime this Winter. The first pair comes in White/Infrared 23-Black-Pure Platinum, while the second comes in Black/Black-Dark Grey. The uppers appear to use a similar woven construction we’ve seen on the Jordan Future, while the sole unit appears to be almost identical to the Jordan 11. Boot laces and eyelets give the shoe some unique features, while the speckling on the outsoles help give the shoe some pop. Initial thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.

Not this time Jordan Brand. I hate to be harsh, but I’d be surprised if these don’t end up in the outlets the very next day after they release.

The Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon Is Only A Couple Days Away

FullSizeRender (1) FullSizeRender (2) FullSizeRender IMG_2477 IMG_2479

The endless amount of 2016 Air Jordan 12 releases continue as the Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon is set to drop this weekend! If you’re still on the fence regarding this release, perhaps these brand new images provided by our good friend BobbySolez will make you reconsider.

Although an endless amount of 12s have dropped this year, the construction of this pair is what helps differentiate it from the pack. The upper rocks a Black nylon/neoprene upper that not only changes the aesthetics of the shoe, but also manages to make it waterproof. The all Black nylon upper is than paired up with a bit of tonal leather noted on the mudguard region of the shoe. Breaking up the monochromatic look is the Red found on the Jumpman branding and the White placed on the sole unit. Do these changes in the construction of the shoe make you want to get a pair? The shoe will release on September 10th for $190, you still have a few days to decide. In the mean time make sure you visit our Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon (Neoprene) hub page for all the latest news and information regarding this next Air Jordan release.

Author’s Take

I really appreciate Jordan Brand thinking outside the box and constructing a shoe made out of neoprene. They get an “A’ for effort, I just feel like if they would have switched up the color scheme just a bit, it would help the shoe stand out even more.

Another Classic Sneaker Returns In The Air Jordan 1 Black Toe 2016 (Video)

Last week, we made the argument for the Air Jordan 1 Bred should always be available for sneakerheads to buy without having to worry about selling out. Today, we add another pair of Js to that list in form of the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Black Toe.

It was only a few short years since we last saw the Black Toe and now it’s getting another high profile release later this year. Jordan Brand is really stacking the deck this holiday season between this and the Air Jordan 3 True Blue and the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam. Wouldn’t it be nice if one of them didn’t force you to line up for raffles just to “win” the chance to buy them?

For more information on this release, be sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 1 Black Toe 2016 launch page for more images, videos and links to buy on the day of release.

Air Jordan 5 GS Air Jordan 5 GS 1 Air Jordan 5 GS 2 Air Jordan 5 GS 3

Following a wolf grey-colored pair, the next rendition of the Air Jordan 5 GS will be offered in a Toronto Raptors-inspired theme.

Comprised of nubuck across its upper which is draped in black, the stealthy hue is offset against pops of bright red and purple throughout the rubber sole unit, inner lining and jumpman branding prominent on the tongue, as well as on the heel. Finally, translucent lace locks and outsoles round out the sneaker’s profile.

With retail listed at $140, you can expect to find this pair at JB and Nike retailers starting Saturday, September 17th.

Author’s Take

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

Russell Westbrook Debuts The Air Jordan 31 Shattered Backboard, And It Has A Release Date!

AIR JORDAN 31 4 AIR JORDAN 31 3 AIR JORDAN 31 2 AIR JORDAN 31 1

The Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard just released last year for the first time ever and Jordan Brand is already using it as an inspiration for this upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 31.

Regarded as one of the most popular colorways of the Air Jordan 1 due to its backstory and use of premium materials, the Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard serves as the inspiration for the Air Jordan 31. Russell Westbrook was seen debuting the Air Jordan 31 Shattered Backboard in a photo shoot with GQ Taiwan. The shoe comes in a color combination similar to the Air Jordan 1s as Black and Starfish combine on the Flyweave and leather upper.

These are the only images that are available at the moment but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more. The Air Jordan 31 Shattered Backboard is currently scheduled to release on October 1, 2016 for $185.

Author’s Take

The Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard is one of the shoes on my “would like to own one day” list because of hoe buttery the shoe is. It’s hard to tell what this colorway of the Air Jordan 31 looks like, but it looks promising. I look forward to seeing more pictures.
