The only thing I don?t like about this colorway are the hits University Blue. Other than that I think it?s pretty clean.

Championship season in the NBA is in full effect as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently celebrating becoming 2016 NBA Champs.

Jordan Brand will also be celebrating Michael Jordan’s 3rd NBA Championship this weekend with the Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack. The collection will feature two colorways of the Air Jordan 8 inspired by the championship trophy and confetti. Here are some new images of the Trophy pair which features a Light Bone leather upper with perforations appearing on the side panels and around the ankle.

Out of both sneakers from this collection I only like the white pair because of the gold detailing. However I?m not really a fan of the Air Jordan 8, especially if it retails for $250.

The confetti graphics are a nice touch on this Air Jordan 8 but I still can?t wrap my head around why this shoe retails for $250.

Nowadays it takes a lot for me to actually like a colorway of the Air Jordan 1, no matter if it’s a mid or high. This colorway just seems to plain in my opinion so they’re a pass for me.

Michael Jordan didn’t make as much money as today’s players while he played in the NBA, but the GOAT has made lots of money since he stepped away from the hardwood. Thanks to his sneakers, his investment in the Charlotte Hornets and a few other businesses, Jordan is now a billionaire.

So what does MJ do with all that money? We’re not really sure, but what we do know is that from time to time he gives back to the community. The Charlotte Observer recently reported that MJ has donated $500,000 in charities working with literacy in Charlotte. Along with the $500,000 donation, Michael Jordan and the other contributing partners will also cover the cost of building and stocking 18 libraries with books at preschools, child care centers, community centers and education nonprofits in the city?s low-income areas.

?When I took over majority control of the team, one of the biggest impacts I wanted … was to reconnect back to the community,? Jordan told hundreds of volunteers gathered Monday at Time Warner Cable Arena for the day of service. ?I felt (that connection) was lost a little bit with the previous ownership, and I felt it was very important. Six years later, here we are. … I am very proud of the commitment of the organization to the community. … My dedication, my drive, is to continue to connect with this community.”

Since becoming majority owner of the Hornets, Jordan and the team have given away more than $3 million for causes related to education, hunger, wellness and the military.

Jordan Brand released a white and blue colorway of the Air Jordan 2 Low a couple of weeks ago which took inspiration from Michael Jordan’s days at North Carolina.

This weekend we see the North Carolina inspiration make a return but this time on the Air Jordan 12 which has undoubtedly been the most popular silhouette of 2016 so far. Looking at this new colorway we can see that it comes dressed in Wolf Grey tumbled leather throughout the majority of the upper with pops of University Blue on the side panels, outsole, and the Jumpman on the tongue. Midnight Navy has then been placed on the inner liner as well as on the heel tab. Finishing off the look is White which lands on the mudguard, midsole and outsole.

Chances are you probably own the recently Air Jordan 12 Flu Game. Nike dropped so many pairs a few weeks back that most anybody that wanted a pair was able to secure them. It makes sense for the swoosh to produce literally tons of the product; it’s one of the most iconic Air Jordans ever made because Michael wore them during arguably his most iconic performance. It’s not everyday that Jordan Brand goes out of their way to hype up a retro release, but that’s what happened with their “Greatness Overcomes” campaign that included the obligatory hashtag, a series of videos feature DB Smooth and a pop-up shop in Utah.

But just in case you weren’t able to score a pair of the Flu Games, here’s a look at the shoe in stupid nice HD as part of our Sneakers In 4K. It’s the closest thing to owning the real deal.

Follow up on the recent release of the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game by checking out our launch page that detailed the shoe from its initial leak to the day it dropped.

I don?t think the silhouette is that bad. It looks pretty solid in this colorway too. I?m not that tempted into purchasing it though.

In addition to the Champagne, the Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack Confetti edition, comprises the celebratory set which is a tribute to MJ?s last championship from his first three-peat with the Chicago Bulls in 1992-93.

Taking cues from the pieces of colorful paper that are typically thrown during celebrations of parades, the theme is primarily seen on the silhouette’s rear portion in vibrant shades. Juxtaposed perfectly against a blacked-out composition that’s comprised of premium textured leather, the collar and heel section incorporates a patent leather wrap to further evoke the celebratory finish. Finally, metallic gold accents located on the straps of the ankle and tongue round out its luxe appeal.

I?m a fan of the silhouette in general and I like the blacked-out finish most of all. The theme is cool but I would?ve preferred gold/silver confetti instead. Still a solid offering though.

Additional images of the upcoming Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack Champagne edition is revealed, as the model will also be offered in GS sizes.

Essentially celebrating MJ?s last championship in 1992-93 from his first three-peat with the Chicago Bulls, the basketball sneaker’s aesthetic is inspired by the Larry O?Brien Championship Trophy.

Flaunting a pristine light bone/white colorway across its perforated suede upper, the thematic element is focalized on the rear which is rendered in metallic gold. A fingerprint graphic is also applied which references to MJ grabbing the trophy in celebrations. Additionally, the collar and heel section incorporates a patent leather wrap to evoke the celebratory flair.

I?m biased towards this silhouette overall. Out of the two, I like this pair more because of the clean colorway. I?m sure females who also adore this colorway are particularly happy as well.

The Air Jordan 12 has released in a number of solid colorways this year, and this is another great example. If only those blue-colored panels on the sides would be white instead, I?ll be all over it.
