This classic Air Jordan 5 in Black/Metallic Silver is set to make its return once again, as the model’s official release is only a week away.

Simply adored due to its versatile palette, the model is noted to be one of the brand’s most versatile offerings. Black dominates its entirety, which is utilized for the nubuck upper and midsole unit, while accents of Grey are implemented on the signature netting and reflective tongue. In addition, shimmering silver is prominent on the shark teeth-inspired component on the midsole, which also incorporates subtle Black speckling.Other notable elements include the original ?Nike Air? logo seen on its heel, unlike the typical Jumpman logo, bright fire red accents adorning the tongue and lace locks.

Finished off with an icy translucent outsole, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike accounts on Saturday, July 23 for a retail price tag of $220.

Derek Jeter played in his final MLB season ever last year which concluded one of the greatest sports careers ever. Today the legend became a bigger member of the Jordan Brand team than he has ever been in the past.

Jordan Brand announced today that it has reached a deal with Jeter to remain with the Brand, creating the role of “Captain” within the iconic brand?s training category and family of baseball athletes. The brand will also continue Jeter?s signature RE2PECT line with training and lifestyle shoes and apparel, set to hit Jordan retail outlets in Spring 2017. Jeter will play an active role in defining the future of his RE2PECT line, choosing colorways and style designs as well as consulting on comfort and fit.

?Derek is one of the hardest workers I have ever met,? said Michael Jordan. ?His work ethic was evident in the way he played the game of baseball and it continues to drive the way he approaches his business career after retirement. We are excited to continue our relationship with him and for what he brings to the brand as we continue to grow.?

Jeter will be a key figure working with Jordan Brand Sports Marketing and Michael himself to build the Jordan family of baseball athletes.

?I am thrilled to continue my relationship with the Jordan Brand,? said Jeter. ?I spent my entire baseball career trying to be the best player I could be and I am excited to help the next generation reach that goal through Jordan Training and Baseball.?

Sort of reminds me of the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Beach but with more gold hits. Pretty nice colorway, but too bad it’ll be a Europe exclusive.

Seventeen long years after its debut way back in 1999, the Air Jordan 14 Oxidized Green will finally be getting the retro treatment this weekend.

I wouldn’t call myself a fan of the Air Jordan 14 (since I don’t own any pairs) but this colorway isn’t too bad. Would I spend $190 plus tax on it though? No.

That came out of nowhere. If you were anticipating the release of the Jordan Horizon Low Premium you see above, we’re here to let you know what Nike just dropped these on their site!

The Horizon Low comes equipped with a diamond-quilted upper done in a premium Black leather. This brand new premium motif on the upper completely changes the way you look at the shoe. The rest of the construction appears to remain the same as the Air Jordan 13 sole unit is still in play as it comes in a White and Smokey Black color scheme. Take a look at the official images above and just know that the shoe is set to release sometime next month. Out now, act fast and pick up your very own pair for $180.

I like these, a lot. I won’t pick them up right away in hopes of catching them at a reduced price.

If the Black and Vachetta colorway wasn’t really your style, take a look at the also readily available Air Jordan 1 High White Vachetta. Coming in the same construction, let’s get a closer look at the shoe.

The Air Jordan 1 High White Vachetta is constructed out of a White premium leather upper. The leather upper comes covered in large perforation hits on the toe and side panels. Embossed branding is noted on the tongue and ankle. Additional White can be seen on the laces and entire sole unit. The only part of the shoe that adds contrast to the White upper is the vachetta tan placed on the leather lining. Simple yet luxurious. Out now, pick up a pair for $160.

I really like the Jordan 1s. Something different. I hope people keep on sleeping on these and I end up picking them up at a steal.

In a few short days we’ll be seeing the next colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Low No Swoosh arrive at retailers. Earlier this year Jordan Brand took the world by storm by unveiling and releasing three colorways of a new Air Jordan 1 Low that removed the signature Swoosh branding on the side panels.

Last time we saw an black, olive, and pink colorways release, this time Jordan Brand color coordinates for the Summer and will give us an all-white colorway. As you can see, this Air Jordan 1 features tumbled leather all over the upper with Nike Air branding on the tongue, the Wings logo on the heel, and gold aglets that provide a nice pop.

You can find the Air Jordan 1 Low No Swoosh at select Jordan Brand retailers beginning on July 16, 2016 for $150. Make sure to click and bookmark on our Air Jordan 1 Low No Swoosh White launch page for additional images, release information and other updates.

I almost pulled the trigger on the olive and pink pairs that released earlier this year but decided not to. It’s cool to see more colorways release but I don’t think I would grab this all-white version.

The Air Jordan 1 High Black Vachetta is one of two different colorways rocking the vachetta motif. What makes this Air Jordan 1 different from others? The fact that it comes with an engineered perforated made out of premium leather. Aside from that, vachetta tan is also placed on the lining of the shoe to help give it even more of a premium feel. Embossed branding is found by way of the Jumpman logo on the tongue and Wings branding on the ankle. Lastly, a White midsole and Black outsole complete the look. Out now, pick up a pair for the retail price of $160.

Author’s Take

People are sleeping on these and I think it’s because of the price. I hope these go down to $120, and when they do I’ll be all up on them!

It’s always unfortunate to find out about violence going on in this world of ours, and it’s even more unfortunate when it’s over something like sneakers that are meant to bring us together as a community.

Today we have found out that Star Telegram is reporting that 20-year-old Daron Taylor was found guilty by a jury of capital murder in the killing of 21-year-old Joshua Woods back in 2012. Daron Taylor and others went to several Houston malls on Dec. 21, 2012 looking for people who had just bought the recently released Air Jordan 11 Bred. Taylor and his friends ended up following Woods home and killed him in an attempt to steal the shoes. He has now been sentenced to life in prison with eligibility for parole in 40 years since he was 16 when the murder took place.

Taylor is the second suspect convicted in the slaying. Twenty-one-year-old Neal Bland was convicted of capital murder in February and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.

Jimmy Butler is one of the best NBA players in the game right now and he continues to get better and better every year. Along with other names like Kawhi Leonard, Russell Westbrook and Blake Griffin, he helps lead the new generation of Jordan Brand athletes.

With Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah departing Chicago this year he’s ready to make the Bulls his team (unless D Wade has something to say about that). Jimmy Buckets is starring in a new commercial/short film for Jordan Brand where he recalls all of the obstacles and adversity that he has had to overcome throughout his NBA career such as getting drafted #30 overall in 2011 and not being offered any scholarships coming out of high school.

Be on the lookout for Butler’s video to release in its entirety on July 14.

Superstar “farewell” tours are now the norm in professional sports, unless your name is Tim Duncan.

Another look at this standout Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle in metallic gold is featured, as the premium lifestyle take on the basketball sneaker is reportedly arriving sometime during this Holiday 2016 season.

While many can compare it to Spike Lee?s exclusive AJ 6 Oscars, the model essentially mimics the execution with its premium perforated leather upper draped in the shiny, eye-catching luxurious tone. Offset with white accents located on the inner lining, heel tab, tongue and midsole unit, the silhouette is topped off with an icy translucent outsole that bears more glittering accents.

I?m biased towards the silhouette and I’m really into the finish. I’m still unsure if I really want it, but, so far, I’m a big fan.

The post First Place Vibes For The Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Metallic Gold appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

This colorway of the Air Jordan 14 originally debuted in 1999, and finally, after seventeen years, the model will be reintroduced starting this weekend.

Simply staying true to its OG makeup, the Ferrari 550M-inspired basketball silhouette incorporates a smooth/tumbled white leather upper with contrasting black accents solidifying its build on the tongue, midsole unit, laces and inner lining for a clean two-tone palette.

The sneaker is further pronounced with accents of legend blue and green implemented throughout its entirety. Furthermore, seven Jumpman symbols are placed across the model, which is located on the shield, two metal-tip laces, sole, heel, toe box, and insoles to cap off its overall aesthetic.

Retailing for $190, you can purchase the model at select Nike and JB retailers on Saturday, July 16th. GS sizes (3.5y ? 7y) are listed at $140.

The color combo is essentially a classic, but I?m not really fond of this model. Although it hasn?t been seen since ?99, I?m sure fans of the silhouette are elated for the revival.
