Manny Machado of the Baltimore Orioles is one of the best third baseman in all of baseball. By the looks of his Air Jordan 4 exclusives, he’s also looking to be one of the sneakerhead athletes in the game as well. What you see above are two exclusive version of the Air Jordan 4 done in his team colors. Black bases decked out in Orange and White/Grey make up the motif of the shoes. One of the pairs even comes with a perforated leather upper, something we’re not used to seeing on this model. One of the pairs is a cleated version, while the other is a shoe you wear while training in the turf. Check out the shoes above and let us know what you think in the comments below.

This Holiday?s Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Brings Back The 45

While the majority of the sneaker world is patiently waiting for the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam to drop at the end of the year, Jordan Brand is throwing us a bone by releasing another model rocking the Space Jam motif. It’s not a retro, it’s actually one of their newest basketball shoes. Let’s take a look at the Jordan Ultra.Fly Space Jam.

The Jordan Ultra.Fly Space Jam comes in a Black Kurim construction combined with a Concord mesh placed on the underlay. Even more Concord is visibly noted on the Jumpman branding placed on th tognue, ankle and icy translucent sole. The tonal look is broken up by utilizing a White midsole. Thoughts on this Space Jam colorway on the Super.Fly? Expect these to drop in the near future.

Author’s Take

Unfortunately, I’ve yet to see the Jordan Ultra.Fly in person. The Kurim upper is trippy, but I definitely like what I see. This Spake Jam colorway is pretty clean. I may just have to try these on and see how they look on-feet.

One of the latest Jordan retros to drop also happened to be a Europe exclusive. In other words, no retailers in the US were going to have them in stock. Although I wouldn’t say it’s impossible to be able to pick up a pair if you live in the states, you may have to put in a little extra effort and pay a little more if you wanted to own a pair of the Air Jordan 2 Quai 54.

This Air Jordan 2 Quai 54 pays homage to this year?s popular world streetball tournament. The tonal look of the nubuck and leather upper are contrasted nicely by the Metallic Gold hits placed on the Jordan/Quai 54 branding found throughout the shoe. The shoe was priced at $180 and was available at select international retailers such as Germany’s BSTN. Did you manage to pick up a pair.

I’m a fan of the colorway, but I actually prefer it without the Quai 54 branding on the tongue and heel.

If you read the latest installment of Buy, Pass, Wait, you probably already knew that I’m one of the people who chose to not even try to pick up a pair of the Air Jordan 5 Metallic Silver this morning. But, what about you? Did you manage to pick up a pair of this OG version of the Jordan 5.

Priced at $220, the shoe managed to get a lot of hype due to the Nike Air branding placed on the heels and insoles. To many people, that Nike Air is definitely a game changer. I haven’t had the time to see if they sold out online, so I’ll just ask you guys, how ward was it to pick up a pair? Let us know if you struck out and were able to get a pair in the comments below.

It’s a cool shoe, but it’s one that I feel like I don’t need in my collection. The Nike Air branding is not a game changer for me.

Jordan Brand advocate and Los Angeles Clippers’ star guard, Chris Paul, recently attended the AAU team?s Championship Game wearing another exclusive Air Jordan 11.

Consisting as a player’s exclusive, the model essentially coordinates with the Clippers’ signature colorway. Textured leather across its upper, the distinctive patent leather overlay across its mudguard and midsole unit are treated in red, while the respective theme is topped off with blue accents on the logo and number on the heel.

Unfortunately, this model may never see a public release, although, stay tuned to KicksOnFire for further updates.

This luxe/lifestyle rendition of the Air Jordan 2 is simply a tribute to this year?s popular world streetball tournament — Quai 54 — which is held every summer in Paris, France since its inception in 2003.

Doused in a light bone-colored nubuck and leather upper, the basketball sneaker is accentuated with pops of metallic gold on the heel, eyelets and tongue tab to exude more stylish flair, while other notable elements consist of branding on the insoles that correlates with the event.

Finished off with a crisp white full-length rubber sole unit and icy translucent outsole, this pair is listed as a Europe-exclusive release only. You can find it at select JB and Nike retailers overseas now for a retail price tag of $180.

I?m biased towards this color scheme and this should get the attention it deserves. The value is a lot higher since it?s an overseas exclusive only.

The Holiday 2016 lineup from JB will include an Air Jordan 6 Black Cat iteration, as more images of the forthcoming silhouette continue to be revealed.

Now showcasing its entire profile, the basketball sneaker flaunts a stealthy blacked-out leather upper with perforations throughout to enhance breathability. Unlike the AJ 3 and AJ 4 renditions which were treated in all-black, this variation of the 6 incorporates contrasting elements found on the midsole unit, underlays and Jumpman branding on the outsole in pristine white, alongside 3M reflective detailing to further pronounce its design.

Retailing for a price tag of $190, the model is suggested to arrive at select Nike and JB stockists on New Year?s Eve, December 31st, 2016.

Another variation of the lifestyle-inclined Air Jordan 1 KO is offered this summer, which follows up on the recent sail white/red pair.

Defined by its canvas constriction, the model receives more flair with quilted detailing prominent on the toe box and side panels. Dressed in a tonal pure platinum finish, the model is further detailed with Nike Air-branded tongues and the iconic wings logo across its ankles.

Finished off with a crisp white rubber sole unit, you can purchase the model at select Nike and JB retailers starting July 30th for a price tag of $140.

I’ll always be a fan of the silhouette. I like the tonal look, but, I’m not really into the overall build. It’s a versatile pair though.

In celebration of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a special edition Air Jordan 5 will be offered to commemorate the international sporting event.

Evoking the spirit of champions and essentially the first-place medals given in the award ceremonies, the basketball sneaker’s defining element is evident with metallic gold gracing the tongue, lace lock and the shark tooth-inspired component across its midsole unit. Dressed predominantly in white leather, the sneaker’s remainder is finished off with tonal black on the midsole unit and inner lining, alongside an icy translucent outsole.

You can purchase this pair at select Nike and JB retailers on August 13th for a price tag of $190.

I?m a fan of the silhouette in general. I really like the execution on this pair. I?m biased towards the clean upper and how the gold accents are subtle.

The Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate looks to commemorate the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, as the model is essentially inspired by the original Olympic 7s that first debuted in Barcelona, Spain during the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Flaunting a patriotic palette, pristine white comprises the majority of its leather upper, while navy-colored nubuck is implemented on the underlays, in addition to more applied across its ankle portion and outsole. Capping off the USA-inspired theme are bright pops of red gracing the midsole unit, the heel and inner lining.

Finished off with metallic gold accents on the tongue label and jumpman logo, look for this pair at select JB and Nike stockists as early as August 6th, with more to arrive on August 16th for a price tag of $190.

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.

Andres Carrillo, News: I just picked up my first pair of 11 Lows with the Navy Gum pair. I’m thinking I may have to cop 2 pairs in the same year. The fact that these are leather on the upper is dope.

As you probably know already, Jordan Brand has decided that they’ll be bringing the Air Jordan 3 out of the vault in 2016 as we’re expected to see at least two different colorways release. One will be the all-black Cyber Monday pair and the other will be the return of the OG True Blue colorway.

Today we get our first look at what is believed to be the 2016 version of the OG 88 True Blue colorway. This Air Jordan 3 features a White leather upper with True Blue and Fire Red accents on the inner liner, eyelets, midsole, and the Jumpman logo on the tongue and the Nike Air branding on the heel. The signature elephant print in Cement Grey can also be seen on the heel, toe, and eyestay.

I would have pulled the trigger on these if they were the White Cement or Black Cement colorways, but I just don’t feel the need to spend $220 on the True Blue colorway.

There’s a new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 KO High releasing and it’s coming at us real quick.

Set to drop next week, this new Air Jordan 1 features a tonal upper done in Pure platinum. As is usually the case with the KO version of the Air Jordan 1, this pair comes constructed of a canvas upper with a new quilted pattern that can be seen on the side panels, heel, ankle, and toebox. The Nike branding on the tongue and the Wings logo have been done in Metallic Silver while a White sole unit caps things off.

Look for the Air Jordan 1 KO High Pure Platinum at select Jordan Brand retailers beginning on July 30, 2016 for $140.

Author’s Take

The quilted upper on this Air Jordan 1 KO is something different, but I’m still not a fan of the canvas constructed design. I expect these to sit on shelves for quite some time.
