Air Jordan 12 Purple Dust Releasing In Kids Sizes

The Air Jordan 12 has been one of Jordan Brand’s retro selections of choice throughout 2016. Not only have such classics as the “Flu Game” and “French Blue” arrived at retailers, but the Jumpman have also managed to recapture people’s interest through a number of new colorways. The latest Jordan 12 release will be a kid’s exclusive perfect for the back to school season, as a candy-coated “Purple Dust” color will be releasing at retail in the near future.

The Air Jordan 12 “Purple Dust” takes a new Blue Cap shade throughout the leather upper while Purple Dust accents land on the outsole, lining, and laces. The unique mudguard inspired by Japan’s rising sun flag is actually rather subdued here thanks to a matching Blue Cap shade. Metallic Silver accents linger on the lace eyelets for a premium touch. No word yet on a release date, but stay tuned for more right here on Sneaker News.

First Look At Jordan 11 Space Jam Packaging


We still have over four months before the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” arrives at retailers, but we have a pretty good understanding of what this year’s holiday retro release will entail.

Today we get a look at the Space Jam 11’s packaging. The special edition box features unique ’23’ cartoon artwork while the usual slide out feature returns for yet another release. Added ’45’ wrapping paper pays homage to when this pair first appeared – during the 1995 playoffs against the Orlando Magic. What do you think of this year’s Air Jordan 11 Space Jam?

Don’t look now, but the Air Jordan 5 Olympic is less than one week away! We found out about this shoe quite some time ago, so it’s kind of crazy to see the shoe releasing next Saturday.

The Metallic Gold can be seen on the tongue as well as on shark teeth of the midsole. A translucent outsole, clear netting, White laces and Black lining round out the main parts of the shoe.

Author’s Take

I?m not really against the shoe?s design. I?m a fan of the simple makeup but the large Jumpman bothers me a bit. This is a nice commemorative colorway though for the host country though.

Initially I did not want the shoe, but the more I look at it, the more I’m on the fence about it. It’s a bold looking shoe. The Gold tongue is everything!

The Air Jordan 1 High OG Royal Could Be Making A Return Next Year!

Air Jordan 1 OG Royal 1 Air Jordan 1 OG Royal 2 Air Jordan 1 OG Royal 3 Air Jordan 1 OG Royal 4

The Air Jordan 1 High OG Bred dropping next month is without a doubt one of the most anticipated releases of all 2016. What other shoe could possibly top this upcoming release? How about a Air Jordan 1 High OG Royal release?! If the latest rumors prove to be true, 2017 could bring us the return of the Air Jordan 1 High OG Royal! How dope could that be?!

The last time the Royal 1s were released was back in 2013. Equipped with OG branding and all, the Royal 1s have got to be one of the most hyped colorways ever released on the Jordan 1s. Coming in a classic Black and Royal Blue color scheme, this remastered version will also come with Nike branding on the tongue, a premium leather construction all while sitting on top of a White midsole and Royal outsole. As of right now, all we know is that the shoe is rumored to release next year, no exact release date yet, but stay tuned as more info begins to surface.

Author’s Take

I could see these releasing next year. Most of the OG Jordan 1s have been dropping ever since Jordan Brand began their remastering initiative, so why not bring back the Royals? It only makes sense.

Will 2017 Bring Back The Return Of The Air Jordan 4 Pure Money

Air Jordan 4 Pure Money 1 Air Jordan 4 Pure Money 2

How many of you still have a clean pair of the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money? Being that the shoe dropped 10 years ago and basically comes in an all-White colorway, there’s a good chance that your pair is looking pretty yellow and/or beat. Have no fear though because according to DJ Folk, Jordan Brand is rumored to be bringing back the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money sometime next year!

The Jordan 4 Pure Money comes in an all-White leather upper. The White also extends to the netting, branding, lining, sole unit and laces. The only part of the shoe providing any form of contrast are the shiny metal accents seen on the eyelets and the Jumpman on the heel. If the rumors end up being accurate, is this a must-cop Jordan Brand release for 2017?

Author’s Take

Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since this colorway of the 4 dropped. I’m pretty sure many people will be happy if these end up making a return.

Could 2017 Bring An Air Jordan 7 Pure Money Release

We just reported that the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money could be making a return next year, but we’re also happy to announce that even more Air Jordans could also be getting the Pure Money treatment, one of those being the Air Jordan 7.

Rumored to be releasing sometime next year, we’re speculating that the Air Jordan 7 Pure Money will come with a White leather (maybe suede) upper accented by Metallic Silver hits noted on areas such as the branding and/or eyelets. An all-White Air Jordan 7? Is that something you’d be interested in seeing? If you’re looking forward to the potential release of the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money, make sure you check back as more information begins to surface.

via: DJ Folk


Author’s Take

It looks like Jordan Brand is planning on having an entire Jordan Pure Money line up. I’m definitely interested in seeing what the shoes end up looking like.

An Air Jordan 13 Pure Money Will Make Its Debut Next Year

So let me get this straight. Not only is it being rumored that an Air Jordan 4 Pure Money is releasing next year, but there’s also been talks saying that an Air Jordan 7 Pure Money could also be making a debut in 2017. Now we have word that an Air Jordan 13 Pure Money could also have the potential to be releasing next year?! Damn, it looks like a whole lot of all-White Jordans could end up dropping next year.

Although no official word or images of the Jordan 13 Pure Money have been provided, we’re assuming that this pair will also come in all-White fashion accented by strategically placed Metallic Silver hits. It’s hard to talk about a shoe when you don’t know what it looks like, but just know that this all-White Air Jordan 13 could very well be releasing next year. Excited for this release? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I’m curious to see what the shoe looks like. It has potential, but it could also end up being just “another” Jordan Brand release.

Grade School Sneakerheads Get Blessed With The Air Jordan 12 GS Barons

jordan 12 barons jordan 12 barons 2 jordan 12 barons 1

Jordan Brand took a time machine and traveled back about 20 years to find the inspiration for this colorway of the Air Jordan 12.

Unofficially known as the Barons colorway, it is heavily believed that this Air Jordan 12 is inspired by the minor league baseball team that MJ played for in the mid 90’s. This grade school Air Jordan 12 comes equipped with a White tumbled leather upper and Wolf Grey detailing on the mudguard, outsole, and heel. Hits of Black complete the Barons theme by being placed on the upper eyelets, and the branding on the midsole, tongue, and heel.

You’ll be able to purchase a pair on August 13, 2016 for $140. Make sure you click and bookmark our Air Jordan 12 GS Barons launch page for the latest images, release information and important updates.

Decent colorway of the Air Jordan 12 but there?s nothing about it that makes me feel like I need it. I?ll pass on these.
