You can’t go wrong with a classic, especially this silhouette. I’m biased and I’m just glad it’s being revived again.

An initial design which Tinker Hatfield had created, this Air Jordan 7 is essentially a slight revised counterpart of the original Olympic Air Jordan 7 which debuted during the 1992 Summer Games in Barcelona, Spain.

With the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this Friday, August 5th, this model also pays tribute to the international sporting event, as it’s simply defined by a patriotic palette that supports Team USA. Red, white and navy is prominent across its entirety, while pops of metallic gold adorn the tongue label and jumpman logo for additional vibrance, which also evoke the first-place medals.

Retailing for $190 ? GS, PS and TD sizes are listed at $140, $80 and $60 respectively. You can purchase a pair for the whole family starting Saturday, August 6th.

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.

The post The Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate Is Dropping Soon appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Tinker Hatfield, we’re in the same boat with ya: we hate the Air Jordan 15 too. In a candid interview, the legendary designer admits that his least favorite design of the portfolio is the the woven, swooped tongue sneaker that came immediately after Michael Jordan called it a career (at least in a Bulls uniform). To celebrate the upcoming release of LAIKA’s Kubo film, Tinker got the opportunity to rework the shoe, and does so rather forwardly by adding a zipper construction as well as cleaner inner ankle bootie. Also reflecting the movie’s good-vs-evil nature is the alternating color-blocking of the shoes. Release info for the Kubo x Air Jordan 15 hasn’t been revealed yet, but one way to secure a pair if to play the Moon Beast game on the film’s official website here and getting a high score. Peep the full gallery ahead.

Even more lifestyle imagery of the upcoming Air Jordan 6 Black Cat continue to be showcased, as the model is now juxtaposed against a pair of tiger camo pants.

Emphasizing the sneaker’s blacked-out profile perfectly, the leather upper is detailed with slightly enlarged perforations throughout to promote ventilation across its profile. Unlike the all-black AJ 3 and AJ 4 renditions, however, this pair is complemented with hits of white gracing the midsole unit, underlays and Jumpman branding.

With the retail price set at $190, you can expect to find this pair at select Nike and JB stockists on New Year?s Eve, December 31st, 2016.

Additional imagery of this forthcoming Air Jordan 12 Premium in deep royal blue continue to surface online, as the model is expected to make its debut this Fall 2016.

As suggested, the basketball sneaker is draped in the defining blue tone, which essentially covers its premium composition that is comprised of smooth suede and textured leather overlays that are prominent on the forefoot. The model is further detailed with tonal laces, eyelets and Jumpman-branded panels on the side, as it all rests atop a matching full-length rubber sole unit.

Retailing for a price tag of $200, you can expect to find this variation of the silhouette at select Nike and JB retailers starting November 12th.

I’m all tonal finishes and I’m a fan of the sneaker in general. The build is solid as well and this should get some attention. I’m not that inclined on purchasing though.

Andres Carrillo, News: Nothing really special about this Air Jordan 1 to me. I don’t understand why some people are making a big deal out if it. These will be an easy pass for me.

Earlier today we learned about the story behind the design of the upcoming Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate. It turns out that Tinker Hatfield designed this colorway at the same time he created the Olympic colorway but MJ decided that he liked the Olympic pair better. As a result this pair was put into the vault and Nike/Jordan Brand have decided to bring it out now.

The timing couldn’t be any better as the Summer Olympics will be kicking off this weekend and these are the perfect kicks to rock while cheering for Team USA. This Air Jordan 7 take a patriotic approach and uses a white, blue, and red color scheme while adding gold hits as a nod to the Olympic games. You’ll be able to purchase your pair in full family sizing beginning on August 6th.

This is a great twist on the classic Olympic colorway, but personally I wouldn?t buy a pair. I?m not too big on Olympic/patriotic sneakers.

Not only will the Bred 1s be releasing in exactly one month, Jordan Brand decided to throw us a bone and also release the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Black Toe. Said to be releasing during the month of November, today we take our first look at the shoe on-feet.

The Black Toe colorway of the Jordan 1 High is also considered a OG colorway of the model. Most of the images we’ve seen of the shoe show that it does in fact look to be remastered. Consisting of a premium leather upper done in White, Black and Red, the shoe is done in a White leather base offset by the hits of Black and Red noted on the overlays, which happen to include the Black toe, of course. Wings branding is placed on the ankle, while the beloved Nike branding is noted on the tongue. Currently priced at $160 and a tentative November release date, how many of you consider this pair a must-cop?

I never thought Jordan Brand would release this colorway this year. It’s definitely one of the best colorways on the 1s. If I have the chance to get a pair, I’d definitely pull the trigger. It’s a must-cop.

Why did Jordan Brand create a colorway inspired by the Olympic Bronze Medal? Why celebrate anything but gold? We’re not sure, but the shoe looks good, anyway. Actually we’re not even sure if the third place medal is the official inspiration for this new Air Jordan 1 High in crackled black and grey with metallic bronze accents, but when you put bronze on a sneaker this close to the Olympics, that’s obviously going to be the assumption. Either way, if you like the all-new colorway for the Air Jordan 1 you see here, be on the lookout for them at select Jordan Brand retailers soon.

This weekend we’ll see the arrival of the all-new Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate. But wait, is it really a new colorway?

It turns out that Tinker Hatfield designed this ‘Tinker Alternate’ version at the same time that he designed the original Olympic colorway that released in 1992.

?This one was in the works for a while,? says Hatfield of the patriotic basketball version of the Air Jordan VII. ?I did one that was more white based and one that was much more contrasted. My recollection is that MJ thought the contrasted one was really cool. Ultimately, I left it up to him.?

As we all know, Jordan ended up picking the white-based pair and the alternate version was placed in the archives, until now. Check out the Hatfield’s early sketches of the Olympic and Tinker Alternate colorways above and remember that the shoe will release on August 6th for $190. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate launch page now for detailed images, videos and release info.

If you’ve been following Air Jordan retros for the past several years, you’ll know that one of the most wanted pairs are Ray Allen’s super exclusive Ring Ceremony player exclusives. A white and gold Air Jordan 11 with matching team colors, these exude a style that quite simply no other pair of Js can match. Now what if I told you that you could own a pair of these golden Js minus the Celtic Green or Heat Red and the only catch was that it was a low-cut instead of the traditional mid that we’ve come to know and love. Is that something you might be interested in? Enter the Air Jordan 11 Low Closing Ceremony, a metallic gold beauty that even has Olympic ties. Will we see Jimmy Butler and Carmelo Anthony rock them in Rio at some point?

Following the announcement of a new partnership with Nike and Jordan Brand last summer, the new football uniforms for the University of Michigan, courtesy of JB, has officially been unveiled.

On the gridiron, Michigan has claimed more victories than any other school, since fielding its first team in 1871. With 11 national championships, over 120 first-team all-Americans and three Heisman trophy winners, including Jordan Brand athlete, Charles Woodson, the university embodies a reputation of leading both academically and athletically.

With its signature colors consisting of maize and blue, the new jersey is built on the Nike Vapor Untouchable chase, which features a minimal-seam design and stretch woven materials. Focusing on fit, range of motion and breathability, tailored lines are articulated to move with the body, while laser perforations in the front and back panels maximize ventilation.

In addition, the team will be outfitted with a special edition Jordan Trainer 1 low Michigan, which is scheduled to be available starting August 8th at select Nike and JB stockists.
