Fresh off the release of the iconic BRED colorway, news have now surfaced regarding the return of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Metallic Red for 2017.

With the Metallic Navy pair dropping this past June 2016 as well, this forthcoming variation of the silhouette will also be its first retro. The model is essentially a remastered take, as classic Nike Air branding will be applied on the tongue and not feature a Jumpman on the heel.

Suggested to make its debut during May 2017 for a price tag of $160, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

I was wondering when this would be offered once again since the navy pair already released. It’s nice to see it’ll be returning soon and you can’t go wrong with a classic.

A new variation of the Air Jordan 13 is suggested to make its debut this Fall 2016, as it’s rumored to pay tribute to Chinese Singles Day, which is essentially a holiday that celebrates the status of being single.

While it’s colored in a more Valentine’s Day-appropriate colorway of red with black accents, the sneaker also bears special insoles and a leather upper that reveals a unique graphic when rubbed off — similar to the previous ?Wings? release.

Set to release on November 11th, the same day that Singles? Day is celebrated, it’s still unclear if this pair will be a China-exclusive only.

Stay tuned to KicksOnFire for more updates.

Hopefully it’s not exclusive overseas. This color combo is a classic and it looks solid on the silhouette. I’m sure a lot of fans will appreciate a pair, even if they’re not single (haha).

Did you grab the Air Jordan 1 “Banned” over the weekend? If you did, you probably noticed the premium Remastered construction that brought back a tumbled leather to the ankle support, Swoosh branding, and toebox as well as the return to a white insole for a true and through 1985 twist. But just how different is this year’s Air Jordan 1 Banned rendition when compared to 2013’s version? Today we get a side-by-side comparison courtesy of DivineKaze on Reddit and you might be surprised just how different the two pairs are.

For one, this year’s Air Jordan 1 Banned has a completely different silhouette shape. Not only is the heel higher than its 2013 counterpart, but the toebox is overhauled for a thicker, more spacious aesthetic. The reds are deeper and darker in the 2016 version as well. Which version of the Jordan 1 Banned do you prefer? Check out more photos after the break and be sure to stay updated on the latest and greatest Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

The classic Air Jordan 12 is set to receive a new makeover this season, as JB aims to make the basketball sneaker more durable and modern.

As implied, the defining component is its nylon composition. Covering the majority of its upper, the fabric is noted to be waterproof as well to further increase its versatility. With this new application, the model is suggested to be much lighter, while the traditional leather overlays on the forefoot and lateral portion is retained to maintain its premium and iconic profile.

All resting atop a clean, white outsole unit, subtle accents of red located on the tongue tab finishes off the design.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: It?ll be interesting to see how this model does. This variation looks pretty solid already. I always wondered if the brand would explore new materials and apply it on classics just to see how it would be received. For example, the utilization of flyknit or engineered mesh as well.

The USC Football team took on #1 ranked Alabama yesterday, and even though the end result wasn’t they had hoped for, they did have something to celebrate about before the game.

Before the team caught a flight to Texas, they were all gifted a pair of the Air Jordan 12 Gym Red/Alternate that is pretty much sold out anywhere you look right now.

Who caught the Michigan football game yesterday? If you did, you might have caught a glimpse of Michael Jordan. Being that this is Michigan’s first season as an official Jordan Brand outfitted football program, it was only right that they called up Michael Jordan to be their honorary captain.

So what did he wear? He decided to keep things simple and rock a retro that dropped as a GR earlier this year. Rocking the Air Jordan 11 Low Navy Gum, Micheal Jordan looked liked he fit right in as one of the boys rocking his Michigan colors. He accompanied the Jordan 11 Lows with a matching long sleeve Jordan t-shirt and the usual denim he’s now known for. Check out his outfit above and let us know what you rate his outfit from 1-10?

Remember the Air Jordan 5 Olympic (Gold Medal) that dropped last month? You may not be able to recognize now, but it’s actually the base shoe on the custom you see above. Astrotorf Customs works his magic on this Air Jordan 5 and coverts it into a dope custom he likes to call the Air Jordan 5 Wings.

Grabbing inspiration from the limited Air Jordan 12 release that dropped earlier this year, Astrotorf utilizes the same Black and Gold Wings pattern and implements it on to the Jordan 5. If you take a close look at the Wings pattern you will find that it’s intricately detailed look that required a lot of stencil work (courtesy of D-Nice Customs) to make it look as dope as it is. Complimenting the Black and Gold look is the Metallic Gold tongue that already comes with the Jordan 5 Olympic. Thoughts on the Jordan 5 Wings custom? To see what else Astrotorf Customs has to offer, be sure to check out his IG here. By the way, these are a size 10.5 and are currently for sale. Don’t sleep!

The United States observe September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Looking to help raise even more awareness, Jordan Brand created this Gold Air Jordan 4 baseball cleat for some of their athletes. Jordan Brand athletes such as  C.C. Sabathia, Dexter Fowler, Marcus Stroman and Gio Gonzalez all took to social media to show off their dope gold-colored Air Jordan 4 cleats. So what did the players do with their special Jordan 4 cleats? Fowler had some of the child cancer patients he visits sign his pair, while C.C. Sabathia decided to ship out his pair to one of his young fans who is fighting the battle against cancer. Pretty cool, right?
