This Air Jordan 1 Mid Features A Strange Pattern On The Inside

Looking similar to the checkered pattern on the interior of the original Air Jordan 10 but not quite the same, this latest all-new colorway for the Air Jordan 1 Mid features a unique v-shaped motif on its inner lining. The rest of the color scheme is also not quite like anything we’ve seen on the Air Jordan 1, as it features a Wolf Grey upper with black faccents and metallic silver Swooshes for an overall look that does seem reminiscent of the OG “Steel” Air Jordan 10. Whether that was the intention or not, we can’t be sure, but if you like what you see, you can grab a pair now from select Jordan Brand retailers like Rock City Kicks.

Take A Look At The Jordan Eclipse White/Metallic Gold/Infrared 23

Jordan Eclipse 1 Jordan Eclipse 2 Jordan Eclipse 3 Jordan Eclipse 4

The Jordan Eclipse has been on a hiatus as of late, right!? That’s soon about to change as we recently came across this lively rendition of the model. If you’re looking for a shoe with some pop to it, this could very well be the one.

Coming in an all-mesh construction, the shoe dons an Infrared 23 mesh on the toe, tongue and lining. It is then contrasted by the White mesh placed on the side panels and heel. The sole comes in White covered in Infrared 23 speckles. While even more of the same bold hue is found on the laces and pull tab. Lastly, a bit of Metallic Gold takes care of the Jumpman on the heel to help give the shoe some added “oomph”. Available internationally, we will let you know when these arrive stateside.

It’s bold alright. If you’re looking for something clean, bright and appropriate for the Summer, this is definitely a good option.

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

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. Golden accents then appear on the signature cross straps, outsole and slightly above the midsole. The gold accents by the midsole feature finger prints that symbolize Michael Jordan and his teammates passing around the Larry O?Brien trophy in celebration.

You’ll be able to get your hands on this Air Jordan 8 when it releases at select JB retailers on June 25, 2016 for a retail price of $250. Head over to our Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack to see more images, release information and other updates on this release.

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.

One of the last colorways of the Air Jordan 1 Mid that released which turned a few heads was the black and gold pair that had some “Melo” vibes to it. If you passed on those and are looking for something to rock on the daily this Summer then this one’s for you.

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.

Giving Back: Michael Jordan Donates $500,000 To Charlotte Libraries

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.

Will you cop a pair come June 25th? Retail price has been set at the usual $190. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 12 Grey/University Blue launch page now for even more images, info and release details.

Sneakers In 4K: Air Jordan 12 Flu Game (Video)

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.

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.

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.
