If you managed to pick up a pair of the Air Jordan 1 Bred online, you’re probably getting your pair through the mail right about now. One lucky (or unlucky depending on your taste) Footaction customer recently got his Air Jordan 1 Bred shipment. Only problem is, Footaction didn’t send him the right shoes, instead he got the Air Jordan 1 Top 3. Yup, word has it that @kev_0594 received a pair of the unreleased Jordans!

My question to you is, would you be happy with this mixup? Would you keep them? Perhaps use them as trade bait? Which pair do you like more, the Air Jordan 1 Bred or the Air Jordan 1 Top 3? The Air Jordan 1 High OG Top 3 is scheduled to release on November 28th for $160.

Even more imagery of the forthcoming Air Jordan 31 Fine Print is featured once again, as the model is simply noted as an homage to Michael Jordan?s original Nike contract that was signed back in October 24, 1984.

Reminiscent of the colors seen on the document, the performance basketball sneaker is treated in a traditional color palette of black/white and wolf grey throughout its woven and leather makeup. A crisp white midsole unit and icy translucent outsole rounds out its profile, as it also features MJ?s signature on the forefoot to cap off the respective theme.

Retailing for $185, you can expect to find 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.

Joining alongside the Black Nylon (Neoprene) pair this weekend will be a new grade school variation of the Air Jordan 12 as well.

While the Barons theme was previously offered just recently, this pair flaunts much more feminine palette of light bone across its premium leather upper with metallic gold accents, while the defining hue is prominent evident through its outsole, inner lining, rear and tongue portion.

With its official retail price listed at $160, you can buy a pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting this Saturday, September 10th.

I?ll always be an advocate for this silhouette. The colorway is a nice option for the ladies this season and it should garner enough attention for fanatics.

Yet even more images of this upcoming Air Jordan 12 with a nylon/neoprene upper is provided, as it’s scheduled to make its debut this weekend.

Defined by a new water-resistant build, as well as promoting a more lightweight and durable build, the sneaker’s traditional leather element is still evident throughout the forefoot and inner lateral section to retain its OG makeup. Flaunting a stealthy hue overall, hints of red for the signature Jumpman branding across its tongue provide a subtle contrast, as it all rests atop a clean white rubber sole unit.

Retailing for $190 — GS, PS, and TD sizes will be offered as well and priced at $140, $80 and $60 respectively.

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.

Already introduced in a bevy of colorways since its introduction, the iconic Air Jordan 1 will be receiving much more variations throughout Fall 2016.

Previewed are forthcoming iterations of what seems to be both adult and GS sizing. A bold green version, alongside a velvet comprised pair in burgundy/gold are notable standouts, while there’s also classic black and red editions, as well as another that features a woven pattern in turquoise and finally, a pair in grey leather with grey wool detailing.

Look out for these pairs to arrive at select JB and Nike retailers in the coming weeks ahead, but, stay tuned for updates.

This silhouette will always be a classic and must-have. The forthcoming colorways seem solid so far, but, I’ll have to side with the green pair as the most desirable.

Russell Westbrook’s current tour of Asia included a stop at the GQ offices in Taiwan for a photoshoot and interview. For this occasion, Westbrook laced up the Air Jordan 31 in an orange/black/gum colorway, otherwise called the “Shattered Backboard”. This color-combo was first made famous by last year’s release of the Air Jordan 1 of the same moniker, which is an homage to MJ’s infamous dunk that resulted in the backboard breaking into pieces. The Air Jordan 31 “Shattered Backboard” is set to release this October, so get an additional look at the shoes just ahead.

I’ve yet to personally calculate it myself, but from what I’ve seen all year, it looks like no other retros has had as many releases as the Air Jordan 12. If you’re a fan of the silhouette, 2016 has been a good year for you. If you thought Jordan Brand was done with the 12s, you couldn’t be any more wrong. Up next and dropping this weekend is none other than the Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon.

What makes the Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon different from all the other 12s we’ve seen this year? The construction. The all-Black neoprene upper is accompanied by nylon material that happens to be waterproof. The all-Black motif is broken up by the Red hits noted on the Jumpman branding and the White noted on the sole unit. It’s pretty simple, but there’s no doubt that the waterproof upper is the star of the shoe. Set to drop on September 10th for $190, be sure to visit our Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon (Neoprene) hub page for all the latest news, info and images regarding this upcoming release.

I like that Jordan Brand is trying new things with the waterproof upper, but it’s not really something I see myself picking up. Plus, I live in southern Cali, it probably rains like 5 days a year. I’m good.

We’ll be getting a double dose of the Air Jordan 12 this weekend as we’ll see the release of the Black Nylon/Neoprene colorway as well as the Plum Fog pair for the ladies that joins the Jordan Brand Heiress Collection.

Today we bring to you the best images of the Plum Fog colorway that we have seen so far. Light Bone premium leather covers the majority of the Air Jordan 12 with Plum Fog serving as an accent color and landing on the outsole, inner liner, heel, and the branding on the tongue. Light Grey has been placed on the textured leather mudguard along with Metallic Gold detailing on the upper eyelets.

Ladies can purchase the Air Jordan 12 GS Plum Fog at select retailers beginning on September 10th for $160. Will any guys be going after a pair? Let us know in the comments below.

Much like the neon pink pair that released earlier this year, I feel that this colorway is suited more for the women. Easy pass on my end.

At this point in time, I’m not really sure if the majority of the people are feeling the Air Jordan 4 Premium Wheat or not. What I do know is that a lot more people are going to begin paying attention to the shoe now that we got word that it’s going to be a limited release. How limited? Try 9,000 pairs.

The premium version of the Air Jordan 4 comes in a Wheat leather colorway that have many of us saying it’s looks shares many similarities to the Timberland Boot. Additional Wheat features extends on to the leather laces, embossed branding and the perforated side panels and tongue. We got a question for you: Now that you know how limited the shoe will be, do you view the shoe any differently? Sound off in the comments below.

Author’s Take

If it does end up being limited, and assuming the price is $400 (like other pinnacle/premium releases), my thoughts on the shoe remain unchanged. I still won’t cop. Perhaps for $190, but not for $400.

Drake and Future’s “Summer Sixteen” Tour and Kanye West’s “Saint Pablo” Tour are two of the hottest tickets in town right now. Imagine what it would be like sitting front row at either one of those concerts. Dope right? Things probably couldn’t get much better, right?

Well they got MUCH better for young Drake fan Jackson Lane who was in attendance at the Houston show. According to @sneakheat, Jackson was singing the words to every Drake song and Drizzy took notice and invited him backstage after the show. Not only did young Jackson meet Drake backstage, but he was also gifted the pair of black/red Air Jordan 19s that Drake wore for the show. Up above we see the young fan with the autographed pair of kicks that we’re sure he’ll cherish forever. Great gesture by Drake.

This weekend, Jordan Brand will release a brand new Air Jordan 12 colorway exclusively for girls in the premium “Heiress” theme to match the Air Jordan 1 that is also headed to retailers. The Jordan 12 Heiress showcases the Jumpman’s promise to bring more women’s exclusives to the table, and this might be their best yet thanks to the luxurious combination of a Light Bone tumbled leather upper, Metallic Gold Star accents, and a pastel Plum Fog shade that elevates the Air Jordan 12 to newfound off-the-court heights.

The Air Jordan 12 Heiress displays a perfect combination of subtlety and nuance with a remastered quality throughout.

Jordan Brand’s lifestyle sensibilities will continue with the release of this Pinnacle-esque Air Jordan 4 “Wheat” sometime in the near future, but if you were hoping to grab your size, we have some grim news: only 9,000 pairs of the Jordan 4 Wheat will be up for grabs.

The Air Jordan 4 “Wheat” takes the Timberland-like aesthetic native to Nike Sportswear’s Fall catalog with releases like the Nike Air Force 1, Nike Air Max 1, and Nike Air Max 90 over the past few years.

We have good news for all of you Air Jordan 13 fans out there, as it’s looking like next Labor Day Weekend will bring the return of the Air Jordan 13 “Flint”. Originally released in 1998, the last time we saw this retro was back in 2010, which means 7 years will have past by the time we finally get another shot at grabbing a pair.

So what’s in store for next year’s release? Hopefully the return of 3M reflective detailing throughout, a Remastered attention to detail, and that infamous holographic Jumpman branding. Past years have seen Jordan Brand focusing on the Air Jordan 13 Low as well as an onslaught of new colorways capped off by the likes of Chris Paul’s “Hornets” PEs, an entirely 3M Reflective colorway, and an homage to Michael Jordan’s time spent with the Birmingham Barons baseball team with a Holographic theme. Are you excited about the return of the Jordan 13 Flint?
