Today we get the first good look at another addition to the already solid lineup of Air Jordan 12 Retro releases this year.

Keeping things simple, the only other color you’ll find on this impressive colorway is black in a few hits throughout the upper.

Those that can fit a pair will be able to pick them up beginning August 13th at select Jordan Brand retailers.

Air Jordan 12 Air Jordan 12 5 Air Jordan 12 1 Air Jordan 12 2 Air Jordan 12 3 Air Jordan 12 4

Two decades since the introduction of the Air Jordan 12, the iconic basketball silhouette is set to be unveiled in a new colorway that celebrates MJ’s alma mater — the University of North Carolina.

Exhibiting elegant luxury appeal with its grey/white-colored tumbled leather upper and sole unit, the silhouette is pronounced with hits of blue adorning the miniature branded side panels, pull tabs and rear portion to encapsulate the respective theme. In addition, dark obsidian accents grace the inner lining as well for an additional touch of contrast.

In addition, shimmering metallic silver accents on the upper eyelets finish off the design. You can buy a pair at select JB and Nike retailers on Saturday, June 25th, for a retail price tag of $190.

Author’s Take

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.

The successor to the Jordan Super.Fly 4 is finally revealed, as Los Angeles Clippers’ star forward, Blake Griffin and his high-flying game, has inspired the new Jordan Super.Fly 5.

Sporting versatile construction consists of a lightweight upper, inner sleeve and forefoot Zoom Air unit that ensures lightweight responsiveness and ultimate lockdown — the sneaker’s design flaunts a cleaner look, while a knitted motif on the upper adds distinct appeal to its overall makeup.

Also featuring artwork by English artist, James Roper, he combined the explosive playing style of Griffin and vibrant artistic illustrations.

The sneaker will debut in three colorways at Nike and JB accounts starting in China first on June 30th, while a global release date is scheduled for August 1st.

Suggested retail price is listed at $150.

I like the design on this model more than its predecessor. The upcoming colorways are pretty nice offerings to start off the line as well.

Blake Griffins Jordan SuperFly 5 Releases In August

After Blake Griffin took his rim-rocking, high-flying antics to Jordan Brand, the Super.Fly basketball silhouette was born. Although not an official signature shoe of Blake’s, this flagship model has been one of the more trusted hooping options thanks to key technology points like Zoom Air, Flywire, and more. For the all-new Jordan Super.Fly 5, Jordan Brand continues the path it laid out in 2012 and adds an even more lightweight upper and an inner sleeve. The Super.Fly 5 launches with an MSRP of $150 on June 30th in Greater China, with a global launch hitting in August 1st.

Release Date: Air Jordan 12 GS Barons

AIR JORDAN 12 8 AIR JORDAN 12 9 AIR JORDAN 12 10 AIR JORDAN 12 11 AIR JORDAN 12 12 AIR JORDAN 12 13

Last weekend we saw the release of the Air Jordan 12 GS Hyper Violet, which many guys were disappointed didn’t release in men’s sizes. If that pair had you salty then this new Barons colorway will probably be more bad news.

Draped in a premium White leather upper, this GS exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 12 is then hit with Wolf Grey detailing on the mudguard, midsole, outsole and heel. Hits of Black can then be seen on the tongue branding, upper eyelets, heel and side panel branding, and finally on the outsole. It is rumored that this colorway of the Air Jordan 12 takes inspiration from the Birmingham Barons, the minor league baseball team that Michael Jordan played for the first time he retired.

Look for the Air Jordan 12 GS Barons to release on August 13, 2016 for a retail price of $140. Will you take advantage of the extended GS sizing that goes up to 9.5Y and cop a pair?

Author’s Take

Very clean colorway of the Air Jordan 12. I may try to pick up a pair when they release later this Summer.

WWE Kicks: Shane McMahon Brings Out A Pair Of Custom Air Jordan 1s For Raw

Shane McMahon has becomes somewhat of a regular here at Kicks On Fire thanks to his close ties with Jordan Brand. After wearing a handful of Air Jordan retros this year already, last night the man in charge of “the new era” showed us some versatility in his sneaker game.

Over the weekend we showed you that Mache Customs created custom “$hane O Mac” Air Jordan 1s for Shane that featured a black and green upper with a contrasting white sole to match up with Shane’s “Here Comes The Money” entrance theme. Shane wasted no time in breaking these bad boys out as we wore them for last night’s episode of Monday Night Raw.

Did you see him rocking the sneakers last night? What do you think he’ll be wearing on his feet the next time he makes an appearance on Raw?

Detailed Shots Of The Air Jordan 14 Indiglo

The Air Jordan 14 will be making a return in a couple of months. The colorway helping bring the shoe back is none other that the Air Jordan 14 Indiglo. It’s been quite some time since this shoe in this colorway released, so I’m pretty sure everyone who owns or used to own a pair is in need of a fresh one.

The 14s come dressed in a Black leather and durabuck upper. The Black hue is also placed on the lining, laces and part of the midsole. The shoe gets its nickname by way of the Indigo accents that help contrast the Black look of the shoe. Hits of White can be seen on the midsole to round out the look of the shoe. Are you happy to see this model make a return? Priced at $190 and releasing on August 13th, be sure to visit out Air Jordan 14 Indiglo hub page for the latest info and images regarding this release.

The Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack Confetti Drops This Weekend, Will You Cop

AIR JORDAN 8 1 AIR JORDAN 8 3 AIR JORDAN 8 5 AIR JORDAN 8 6 AIR JORDAN 8 2 AIR JORDAN 8 4 AIR JORDAN 8 7

Jordan Brand celebrates Michael Jordan’s 3rd NBA Championship and the completion of his first threepeat with the Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack this upcoming weekend.

After showing you official images of the white Trophy colorway yesterday, we now take a look at the black pair that is inspired by confetti. This Air Jordan 8 features a black tumbled leather upper with patent leather detailing added around the ankle/heel. The dark upper represents how playing without the support of a home crowd feels as the visiting team. The celebration is expressed through the bright confetti graphics that appear on the insoles, inner bootie, over the midsole, and on the outsole. Pairing up the bright confetti over the dark base allows the celebration to become the focal point of the shoe. Hidden underneath the signature cross-straps lies a triumphant message: “WORLD CHAMPIONS” and “AGAIN AND AGAIN”.

Look for this celebratory Air Jordan 8 to release on June 25, 2016 for a retail price of $250. Also make sure to head over to our Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack to see more images, release information and other updates on this release.

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.

So far this year we’ve seen OG, retro, and brand new colorways of the Air Jordan 12 arrive at retailers. This upcoming weekend we can add another Air Jordan 12 to the list which will land in the “new” colorway category.

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.

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

Author’s Take

I?ve never owned a pair of Space Jam 11s before and it?s a sneaker I think everyone just needs in their collection if you?re an Air Jordan fan. I still haven?t  made up my mind on whether or not I?m going to cop.

The Air Jordan 14 Indiglo Retro Drops This August

Jordan Brand is bringing back the Air Jordan 14 “Indiglo” on August 13th. When introduced in 1999, the Air Jordan 14 featured a number of strange yet enticing original colorways ranging from the “Oxidized Green” aesthetic and this “Indiglo” pair. They both deviated so far outside the normal Jordan realm of traditional colorways that we’ve yet to see retros of both pairs, until now. A tumbled leather side panel and rich nubuck add a remastered luxury to this summer-ready pair while touches of that electric green land on throughout for the perfect touch. What do you think of the look? Check out a preview of the 2016 retro after the break and stay tuned for more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

The Air Jordan 12 Retro UNC Releases This Weekend

Another weekend, another Air Jordan 12 release. The most-used silhouette of the year by Jordan Brand shows up this Saturday in its next all-new colorway, featuring what has been dubbed the “UNC” look thanks to the hits of University Blue on the Wolf Grey and white leather upper. If they aren’t really reminding you of the Tarheels team colors, many are also considering the color scheme a remix of the original “Obsidian” colorway, or comparing them to the “Bobcats” edition from 2012. Whatever comparison you want to make, they’re no doubt one of the best Air Jordan 12 releases of the year, and you can find them at select Jordan Brand retailers like Packer Shoes this Saturday, June 25th.

The Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack Champagne Will Be Available In GS Sizes

Air Jordan 8 2 Air Jordan 8 1 Air Jordan 8

While the Confetti variation is listed for adult sizes only, the Champagne rendition from the Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack will be offered in GS sizes.

The grade school celebratory pair essentially maintains the same build as its adult counterpart and noted as a tribute to MJ?s last championship in 1992-93 from his first three-peat with the Chicago Bulls.

Taking cues from the Larry O?Brien Championship Trophy for its distinct aesthetic, the sneaker boasts a light bone/white color scheme across its perforated suede upper with the focal point directed at the rear. Rendered in metallic gold, it also incorporates a fingerprint graphic that references to MJ grabbing the trophy in celebrations.

Although it’s not showcased, hidden under the cross-straps reveal the message — ‘WORLD CHAMPIONS’ and ‘AGAIN AND AGAIN’.

GS sizes will retail for $180 and can be purchased at select Nike and JB stockists this Saturday, June 25th.

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.
