Drake Shows Up At His #OVOBounce Basketball Event In Oregon Jordans


Drake showed out at his #OVOBounce basketball tournament, rocking the Jordan 14 Oregon while sitting courtside. Pro ballers like Stanley Johnson, Brandon Jennings, and Toronto’s own Corey Joseph were all in attendance for one of the premier summer basketball events north of the border, but Drizzy stole the show with his footwear selection.

You may remember that two different renditions of the Air Jordan 14 “Oregon” exclusive were given out to select individuals on the Ducks track and field team. One is the pair pictured here, featuring a grey suede embossed with an all-over print of Ducks logos. The other Jordan 14 Oregon featured a casual olive green upper that more closely resembled past UO player exclusives.

What do you think of Drake’s Jordan 14 Oregon selection? Check out the full event recap here.

Air Jordan 1 Black Toe Returning In 2016

The Air Jordan 1 “Black Toe” is returning to retailers this Holiday 2016 season. Jordan Brand has focused on releasing a plethora of original Air Jordan 1 colorways highlighted by the return of the “Banned” rendition in honor of the Air Jordan 31’s debut this September. While the Jordan XXX1 is heavily inspired by Mike’s first signature silhouette, there’s still nothing like a classic.

We haven’t seen the Jordan 1 Black Toe release since May of 2013 well before the Remastering process was underway. New images from Marqueesole showcase a smooth white leather upper paired with black panels and a Gym Red shade that looks a little bit darker on the color spectrum than the one found in 2013’s release. ‘Nike Air’ tongue callouts and the iconic ‘Wings’ logo round out the perfect pair with matching black branding.

Are you excited about the Air Jordan 1 Black Toe’s imminent return? This original Jordan 1 colorway is slated for a November release. Stay tuned for more Jordan release date updates right here on Sneaker News.

You can’t go wrong with this silhouette. The colorway is solid and I’m biased towards the gold accents.

I like the original version better. The colorway is still appealing, but I prefer the all-white upper instead. It should still get a lot of attention none the less.

Jordans With Michigan Wolverine Logos Are Releasing


Get ready for college football season with the Jordan Trainer 1 Low Michigan. Tinker Hatfield introduced the iconic Nike Air Trainer 1 one nearly three decades ago, but now Jordan Brand is unveiling their own debut training model, the Jordan Trainer 1. It’s a move that makes enough sense given the Jumpman’s recent growth into off-the-court categories, especially with their sponsorship of the University of Michigan’s football team this coming season.

Today we get a look at an exclusive Jordan Trainer 1 Michigan slated to release at retailers this August. The pair even features Michigan’s bold ‘M’ logo on the tongue and outsole. There’s no doubt that this maize and blue training model is of direct Wolverines descent. The low top rendition utilizes a woven elephant printed upper consisting of a navy base and yellow lines for a unique twist to the iconic Air Jordan 3 pattern. An inner sock adds a comfortable fit while an icy outsole consisting of Zoom technology on the heel gives extra cushion.

What do you think of the Jordan Trainer 1 Michigan? Check out more detailed photos below and be on the lookout for this Jordan training model to arrive at retailers later this month.

Check Out Drake Wearing The Air Jordan 14 PE Oregon At His OVO Basketball Tournament

Being a part of Jordan Brand has more than its fair share of perks. One of them is being gifted unreleased pairs of Air Jordans. Drake is part of team Jumpman, and aside from collaborating with Jordan Brand and releasing his very own OVO versions of Jordans, Drake is also gifted highly coveted unreleased retros such as the Air Jordan 14 PE Oregon you see above.

While hosting his OVO Bounce basketball tournament, Drake was spotted courtside wearing the Air Jordan 14 PE. The particular pair of Jordans was given out to Oregon’s football team last season, and although Drake does not play for Oregon, we’re pretty sure sure Jordan Brand was willing to make the exception.

I like Blue sneakers. I only got one pair of 12s this year (French Blue), but I wouldn?t be opposed to getting this pair if the price is right.

Can You Pull Off The Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold (Video)

The Air Jordan Pinnacle Series has been one of the most talked about collection of sneakers in 2016. With its luxurious takes on the classic Jordan models, the Pinnacles have done wonders to the perception of what is possible on the shoes that were once believed to be made just for the basketball court. However, the exorbitant price tags on these kicks have also given sneakerheads pause, wondering if they are worth their elevated cost. So far the $400 retail price for the Pinnacles have not prevented people from buying them (many are hoping to resell for even more) and the trend is not likely to stop soon.

Continuing down this road is the upcoming Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold that looks like the shoe’s upper was given the Midas Touch. With a shiny gold finish with white accents to give the shoe some pop, this is far from the your typical custom job. Or at least that’s what Jordan Brand is hoping the perception will be when these drop later in the year.

To keep in touch with this upcoming release, be sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold launch page for all the latest news, images and videos.

Author’s Take

I?m biased towards the silhouette and even though it looks somewhat boring, the colorway is a classic. I?m not really into it that much yet. It might grow on me as the months pass till its official release though, but, I?ll still probably purchase since it?s a simple and clean offering.

The Jordan Ultra Fly Is Available In USA Colors

Although the Jordan-sponsored player on the summer’s USA Olympic team will probably be opting for the new Air Jordan 31 on court, Jordan Brand has also created a patriotic colorway for the Ultra Fly. Jimmy Butler and Carmelo Anthony may not wear the “USA” colorway featuring a red-to-blue color fade underneath the web-like TPU molding in Obsidian, but you can.

The Croatian national basketball team just got hooked up by Jordan Brand by getting their own colorway(s) of the highly anticipated Air Jordan 31. Being that Croatia rocks White and Red in their team colors, their exclusive Jordan 31s come in color schemes we’re used to seeing coming out of Jordan Brand. Above you will see two different Jordan 31 done in the classic White and Red colorway. From this angle, the shoes does not appear to have any special Croatia branding, the only ties would be the actual team colors. Would you rock these colors if they were a GR? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

These could easily be colors we could see release in the states. White and Red is a common theme with JB and it looks great on the Jordan 31.
