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.

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.

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!

Check out the Air Jordan 31 Fine Print. Any guesses as to what the inspiration behind this Fine Print colorway is? Jordan takes it way back for this latest inspiration the Jordan 31. How back do they take it, you say? All the way back to the exact moment when the young rookie (Michael Jordan) signed his contract with Nike.

Coming in a Black and White upper, the colors on the shoe are meant to represent the colors seen on the document/contract: White paper, Black ink. Aside from the two-toned look on the shoe, there are also minimal hits of Wolf Grey strategically placed all around the shoe. A cool feature on the shoe lies on the outsole, as Michael Jordan’s John Hancock can be seen in Black to complete the theme of the shoe. Said to be dropping on September 17th for $185, what are your thoughts on the inspiration behind this Jordan 31.

Author’s Take

It’s a classic Black and White version of the sneaker. The fact that it also has a story behind the colorway makes it even cooler in my opinion. The Jordan signature on the outsole is pretty cool too.
