The Air Jordan 7 “Raptors” was as 90s a sneaker release as any. The shoe ditched traditional Chicago Bulls colorways to welcome the latest expansion franchise to the NBA in an unofficial way – but the combination of black, purple, and red throughout was undoubtedly an homage to the Canadian team if there ever was one. We haven’t seen the retro since 2012, but now Jordan Brand is hinting at the iconic colorway with this upcoming girl’s exclusive Air Jordan 5 Raptors slated to release this September.

The Air Jordan 5 Raptors is enough to make those in adult sizes jealous. A black upper matches the tongue while a vibrant purple lining and midsole work perfectly with Bright Crimson accents on the Jumpman branding and Mustang fighter jet inspired speckled shark teeth. A traditional semi-translucent mesh ventilation system hits the side panel and tongue as to not complicate things. What do you think of the Air Jordan 5 Raptors? Be sure to stay tuned for more of the latest Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

Evoking the spirit of champions and first-place on the podium, the low-top is essentially covered with the defining theme across its upper, while premium white leather is utilized for the reminder of the component for superb lifestyle appeal. Contrasting hits of black are placed on the inner lining and tongue, as it’s rounded out with a crisp white midsole unit and icy translucent outsole.

Retailing for $170, you can purchase this pair at select Nike and JB retailers starting this Saturday, August 27th.

I?m not that really into the silhouette in a low-cut profile aside from the recent varsity red and navy/gum colorways, but, I like this style even more in this finish. I also like how leather is applied on the upper.

Following a lifestyle editorial, even more images of the 2016 True Blue Air Jordan 3 continue to be revealed, as the basketball sneaker is set to drop in about three months time.

Previously offered in 2011, this forthcoming pair is essentially a remastered variation of its OG counterpart. White tumbled leather dominates the upper, while the signature cement grey overlays is prominent on the toe cap, heel and eye stays. Furthermore, the defining tone is prominent on the inner lining and midsole, as pops of red hit the outsole, tongue and eyelets to further pronounce makeup. Finally, the classic ?Nike Air? branding is seen on the insoles and back heel tab to round out its build.

Priced at $220, you can purchase this standout pair at select Nike and JB stockists starting Black Friday, November 25th.

Jordan Brand’s lifestyle appeal is far and wide, so when the brand announced a new initiative to help push forward women’s and girl’s exclusive colorways a few years back, the move made sense. Since then, we’ve seen plenty of Jordan retros release in pastel pinks and looks with added vibrancy to appeal to the ladies around the world. The Jumpman even created their Jordan Heiress Collection which featured an entire catalog of premium retros with an added touch of lifestyle luxury perfect for everyday wear. Today we get a look at the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Heiress in a new “Plug Fog” look slated to release September 10th for $110 USD.

The Air Jordan 1 Heiress strays away from traditionalism thanks to a new nylon mesh honeycomb pattern on the delicate Light Bone upper while Plum Fog accents hit the leather panels throughout. Off white branding makes for the perfect refined accent atop this pair for a mature vibe perfect for any occasion. What do you think of the latest Air Jordan 1 Heiress release? Be sure to check out more detailed photos after the break and while you’ll have to wait to pick up this pair on September 10th, you can catch more release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

You can?t go wrong with a pair. The construction and colorway is pretty solid. I?m just a fan of the palette and this is a clean-looking pair overall.

I’ve been waiting a long time to own a pair of golden Air Jordan 11s. Ever since Ray Allen showed us what was possible with his golden 11s for both the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat – not to mention the Defining Moment Air Jordan 11 – I’ve held out hope for a retail release. And now we’re getting it in the form of the Air Jordan 11 Low Metallic Gold (Closing Ceremony). Does it have Olympic ties? Who knows? What really matters is that my sneaker dream shoe (well, one of the many sneaker dream shoes) is finally happening.

There are a few caveats with using the gold, however. Watch the video up top and you’ll know what I mean when I say, “maybe don’t buy this sight unseen online.”

As we get closer to the release, be sure you’ve bookmarked our Air Jordan 11 Low Metallic Gold (Closing Ceremony) launch page for all the breaking news, images, videos and links to buy when they go live.

Chris Paul‘s career still has a lot of ‘what ifs’ lingering in the background. What if his trade to the Los Angeles Lakers hadn’t been vetoed by the NBA for the infamous “basketball reasons” ruling? What if CP3 and Blake Griffin weren’t hurt for this year’s playoffs? What if Jordan Brand had released this Clippers-inspired Air Jordan 11 Low? Today we get a look at a rare Jordan 11 Low Chris Paul PE that never was, inspired by his current tenure with LA’s other team.

The Jordan 11 Low has been overhauled countless times in the past handful of years including this weekend’s “Closing Ceremony” release featuring premium metallic gold patent leather in honor of the Olympics. This Air Jordan 11 Low Chris Paul “Clippers” look doesn’t utilize no.3 PE branding or even show off CP3’s personal Jordan Brand logo. Instead, it relies heavily on shades of Varsity Red and Game Royal on the Cordura mesh upper and inner lining. A white patent leather mudguard adds a clean albeit surprising finish while a translucent outsole unit ditches any lingering icy additions.

Following the release of the golden Air Jordan 5 last weekend, Jordan Brand will stay in the gold category this weekend as they’ll be giving us a new white/gold Air Jordan 11 Low.

Known as either the Closing Ceremony or Metallic Gold colorway, the fact of the matter is that this is white and gold Air Jordan 11 and people will go crazy over it. Of course it would have been nice if it were a Mid (that’s the reason I’m passing on it), but we can’t have our cake and eat it too, right? This Air Jordan 11 features a premium White leather upper with Metallic Gold landing on the patent leather mudguard as well as on the branding. Men and kids sizes will be arriving at retailers on August 27th (Saturday) for $170 and $130, respectively. Will you cop or pass? Let us know in the comments below.

I was a fan of these 11s when I first saw them but then I realized that if I were to buy them I probably wouldn?t wear them that much. I?ll just save my $170 and pick up the Bred 1s next week instead.

New details have emerged on the potential Air Jordan 1 What The that has been rumored to release later this year.

It appears that the shoe will actually be known as the Air Jordan 1 Top Three and will consists of a combination of the OG Bred, Royal, and Chicago colorways. The significance of the “Top 3″ name also comes from Michael Jordan being drafted #3 overall back in the 1984 NBA Draft.

We also recently find out that according to Foot Locker Europe this mash up Air Jordan 1 is  currently scheduled to release on November 28, 2016. There is no US release date yet but it’s possible that it is the same as the European date. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates on the release of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Top Three.

I’m not opposed to a What The themed Air Jordan 1 releasing, but I’m definitely curious to see what Jordan Brand comes up with. This could either be a huge success or a big failure.

Solid colorway for the ladies. The plum makes it too much of a women’s colorway though so I wouldn’t but it for myself.

One of the most iconic, if not the most iconic, sneaker of all-time is slated to make another call of duty this September as the Air Jordan 1 Banned gets another retro release.

This is one of the ugliest colorways of the Air Jordan 3 that I’ve seen in quite some time. Where’s the creativity Jordan Brand??

Joining the Air Jordan 1 Retro KO High OG Pure Platinum that released last month, this upcoming weekend we’ll see another new KO Air Jordan 1 arrive at retailers.

Just like the Pure Platinum colorway, this Air Jordan 1 KO takes inspiration from the recent Jordan Brand x Don C collaborations as the upper is composed of a quilted suede done in Obsidian. Copper eyelets and White accents on the branding have been added to provide some contrast. Fans of the Air Jordan 1 KO can look for this colorway to arrive at retailers on August 27th 2016 for a retail price of $140. Is this a cop or a drop for you?
