Additional Views Of The Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack Champagne

Air Jordan 8 Air Jordan 8 1 Air Jordan 8 3 Air Jordan 8 4 Air Jordan 8 2

Joining alongside the Confetti variation will be this Champagne rendition from the Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack.

The celebratory pair is essentially noted as a tribute to MJ’s last championship in 1992-93 from his first three-peat with the Chicago Bulls.

While the aforementioned silhouette took inspiration from the small pieces or streamers of paper typically thrown at parades and celebrations, this pair however takes cues from the Larry O?Brien Championship Trophy.

Sporting a Light Bone, Metallic Gold and White color scheme, the pristine hue is prominent across its premium perforated suede upper, while the heel and collar section inherits tonal paneling with a slight sheen.

Metallic gold graces the rear portion of its mudguard, which also incorporates a fingerprint graphic that references to MJ grabbing the trophy in celebrations, while more gold accents adorn the ankle straps and branding on the tongue.

Retailing for $250, you can purchase this pair at select Nike and JB stockists on June 25th.

The Air Jordan 12 is releasing, or 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 Air Jordan 11 Space Jam Releases On December 17th


Jordan Brand’s Holiday releases are always some of the most sought after sneakers of that year, and 2016 looks to be no different thanks to the retro of the iconic Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”. This year’s pair takes a different route though, focusing on an early sample from 1995 that Mike wore during his second round matchup against the Orlando Magic. An updated ’45’ PE stitching on the heel will definitely stand out as the major difference, but there’s also Nike Air branding on the insole and an updated cut of the patent leather mudguard that features a contrasting white piping to match the original Air Jordan 11 release slate. The Space Jam Jordan 11s will release at retailers on December 17th for $220 USD, so you have plenty of time to try and figure out how you’ll grab a pair. Check out 2016’s Space Jam 11s below and stay tuned for more of the latest Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

Air Jordan 10 Air Jordan 10 2 Air Jordan 10 3 Air Jordan 10 1 Air Jordan 10 4

Nike Europe has just confirmed that the Air Jordan 10 London will be a Europe exclusive only.

Sporting a tonal grey hue across its premium leather upper, the finish essentially represents one of city’s nicknames — “The Big Smoke.” This was given to the city due to the 1950?s era when London residents would use coal fires to keep their homes warm. The smoke combined with fog essentially covered the sky and is reminiscent across the sneaker’s profile.

To provide a premium look, gold accents adorn throughout the silhouette, in particular, the stitched “LDN” along the collar.

Priced at $190, the silhouette is releasing at select JB and Nike accounts overseas only, starting this Saturday, June 18th.

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.

A Closer Look At The Air Jordan 5 Bronze Tongue


A bronze medal in basketball at the Olympics isn’t something that was celebrated by the United States when it happened back in 2004, but it did set the tone for the 2008 and 2012 squads to represent the country in dominant fashion as to make sure it would never happen again. The latest Rio Olympic reference to land on a Jordan Brand release will be this premium Air Jordan 5 featuring a near-iridescent Obsidian upper, White midsole, icy blue outsole, and, of course, Metallic Red Bronze accents throughout. Known as the Air Jordan 5 “Bronze”, the metallic sheen hits the tongue dressed in patent leather and livens up the fierce shark-teeth on the midsole for a unique twist. The colorway is slated to arrive at retailers on September 24th for $190 USD. Check out more detailed photos below and stay tuned for more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

The Air Jordan 10 City Pack Honors MJs NBA Franchise


The Air Jordan 10 City Pack continues with a layover in Mike’s current NBA city of Charlotte. When the AJ10 was the Jumpman model of choice back in 1995, Michael Jordan was still considering being a professional baseball player until the MLB strike made him change his mind and return to the Bulls. That original City Pack was given out to players from numerous NBA cities like Sacramento, Seattle (R.I.P), New York, and more. This year’s revisiting has skipped over the NBA team affiliation except for this Air Jordan 10 “Charlotte” outlier featuring Concord and Blue Lagoon accents on top of a white leather base. The Charlotte Hornets-inspired pair is slated to arrive at retailers this Saturday, June 18th for $190 USD. Continue onward for a better view of the latest City Pack Jordan 10 and know that you can grab your size right now on eBay.

More Detailed Images Of The Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon

A revamped Air Jordan 12 is expected to offered in the coming months ahead, as this particular pair is defined with an upgraded upper.

Previous reports suggested the model to inherit a nylon build, although it’s more like to be neoprene, as the fabric is more resistant to weather elements such as cold temperature, direct sunlight, and moisture. Additionally, the fabric has the ability to absorb shocks and promote a lighter feel.

Premium leather overlays are applied located on the forefoot and lateral portion to retain its premium and iconic flair, while touches of bright red adorn the tongue. Other notable details include matching heel pull tabs with embossed branding, as well as more Jumpman motif implemented on the outsole.

Finished off with a crisp, white rubber sole unit, the sneaker is scheduled to drop at Nike and JB retailers on September 10 for a retail price tag of $190.

Author’s Take

Like I shared before, it?ll be interesting to see how this model does. This variation looks really solid. I always wondered if the brand would explore new materials and apply it on classics just to see how it would be received. For example, the utilization of flyknit or engineered mesh as well.
