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.

Michael Jordan is one of the most revered name in sports. His success as an athlete has granted him a grand platform to inspire and reach out to the world without limits. Since his retirement as an NBA player, his success has continued in an upward trend, but one knock against the big guy is that very rarely ever spoke out to the masses about serious matters. Carmelo Anthony recently took to Instagram to inspire and challenge his fellow athletes to rise up and catalyze change in positive direction, and there’s no question that the awareness among the athletic elite has grown. Today, Michael Jordan finally spoke out against the senseless violence that’s been a major black cloud over our great nation.

Obviously being an athlete sponsored by Jordan Brand has its perks, and that fact is proven once again by the sneaker we see here today. Jordan Brand track and field athlete Mandy White recently got hooked up with her very own 1-of-1 Air Jordan 3 colorway, featuring a tonal hot pink upper upper with a white midsole. Somewhat reminiscent of the Air Jordan “Rainbow Pack”, this vibrant Air Jordan 3 will also unfortunately not be hitting retail anytime soon, as it looks to be just for Miss White.

Jordan Brand’s been rather transparent about the Jordan 31‘s main inspiration being the iconic Air Jordan 1. From the return of the Swoosh side panel branding to the overall shape of the silhouette being a bit more lifestyle friendly than past performance models, the Air Jordan 31 is set to make a big splash in the coming months. With a debut colorway inspired by the infamous Air Jordan 1 “Banned”, you can expect other iconic color palettes to return on the Air Jordan XXX1 in the future. Today we get a look at the Jordan 31 “Chicago” featuring a clean red to white gradient on the upper that skips all traces of black accents for a simple, refined look. The transparent outsole ditches the new-aged icy aesthetic to match the upper while the Swoosh is barely noticeable on the Flyweave gradient. What do you think of the look? Check out a full image below and stay tuned for more Jordan XXX1 updates right here on Sneaker News.

With the new Air Jordan 31 revealed last week, JB has also compiled an Air Jordan Banned Red collection, which essentially pays tribute to the iconic bred colorway that was first seen on the AJ 1. When it debuted in 1985, it was renowned for violating the league?s uniform code and a $5,000 fine had to be paid when it was worn on the court by MJ.

The exclusive range features the entire AJ lineage from the 1 through 30, while the ?Banned? AJ 1, ?Olympic? AJ 7, AJ 29 and XXX did not receive the all-red colorway.

I’m biased towards the tonal finish and I would definitely buy the 3, 4, 11s if it ever released in that finish. I hope it will soon.

I prefer the silhouette without the large Jumpman. I’m biased towards this colorway though and it’s just really appealing. This should grab some attention.

Like I shared before, 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. For example, the utilization of flyknit or engineered mesh as well.

I know we have a lot of sneakerheads out there, but how many of you are considered box heads? You know, the type of people who care as much for the box/packaging as they do for the shoe. If you’re one of those people, here is your first look at the box/packaging of the Air Jordan 31.

Courtesy of @J23app, we now have our first images of the packaging. What you see above is box that closely resembles the look style of the Air Jordan 1 box. Not only does it also come in a Black and Red motif, but the Nike branding is placed on the shoe, except this time around it’s found on the inside of the box. XXXI branding is spotted on the side and top of the box. The lid comes in Black, while the base of the box is done in Red with hits of Black that give the shoe somewhat of a gradient motif. Are you a fan of the box? You’ll be able to get the box and the shoes that comes with it on September 3rd.
