I’m a fan of the silhouette in general and I think this colorway is pretty solid. The tones work well together and I guess I’m just biased.

What The Air Jordan 8 UNDFTD May Look Like

Air Jordan 8 UNDFTD Air Jordan 8 UNDFTD 1 Air Jordan 8 UNDFTD 2

Following a previous report, a rendering of what the forthcoming Air Jordan 8 UNDFTD might possibly look like has been created, as the silhouette is rumored to debut sometime next year.

During 2005, the LA-based streetwear label produced a special rendition of the Air Jordan 4, and it appears that the colorway on the AJ 8 will inherit the same palette. Olive essentially drapes the nubuck upper, while accents of orange are implemented on the rear mudguard, tongue and portion of the outsole, as it’s finished off with a white/black sole unit.

An exact release date has not been confirmed, but stay tuned to KicksOnFire for additional updates once they arise.

Author’s Take

I’m a fan of the silhouette overall, as well as the LA-based brand, and this offering looks pretty solid (pending this is how the real pair will look). Nonetheless, this will obviously get the attention it deserves.

It’s nice to see the Nike Air on the back, but it’s not a feature I’m crazy about. I used to have these with the Jumpman on the back. I recently got rid of them. I won’t be picking up this pair.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Any Warcraft fans out there? If so, you need to take a look at this detailed Air Jordan 4 custom inspired by the movie/game and created by the 400ml graffiti team.

Said to be inspired by the story of “demon blood” which shakes up the entire Nagrand in the Warcraft universe, the 400ml graffiti team uses a combination of the highest grade of lizard skin and rare cross-pattern buffalo skin to mimic the look of the Orc’s skin. The distress technique really gives it that tough look the custom was going for. Even the blood stains are on point for the inspired look. Giving the custom even more of a real look, hemp rope and monster teeth are used on the shoe as accessories. One of the best features on the shoe is the Orc carved on the heel to pay homage to the Orc’s very best. Check out the detailed images above and be sure to visit the 400mlclothing IG page for more info regarding their work.

Is The Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon A Hit Or A Bust

We’re still about three months away from the Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon release date, but most of us pretty much already made up our mind regarding the sneaker. For the most part, people really like it, or they don’t like it at all, there is no in between.

For those of you who do like it, here’s the latest image of the upcoming drop. Unlike any other Air Jordan 12 ever released, the shoe comes constructed out of a nylon upper. Said to be waterproof, the nylon upper is joined by the leather overlays placed on the forefoot as well as on the lateral region of the shoe. Adding minimal pop to the shoe are the red accents placed on the tongue and quite possibly the heal (tbd). A White sole unit provides sharp contrast to complete the look of the shoe.  Priced at $190, the shoe is scheduled to release on September 10th. Be sure you visit and bookmark our official Air Jordan 10 Black Nylon launch page now for more images, info and release details.

Author’s Take

I like the fact that the shoe will be lighter, but I really don?t like the nylon construction. I?d pick up the 12 Wool before I pick these up.

Everyone is talking about this brand new Air Jordan 12 rocking the wool construction. Some people like it, some people don’t. If you happen to fall in the “like” category, we have the latest look of the shoe for you.

The Wool takes care of the majority of the upper, while the Black textured leather is placed on the mudguard.

I?ve been seeing mixed reviews on the shoe, but I actually like the the wool construction myself. The fact that Jordan decided to give the shoe a tonal look was also a good idea considering that wool was used. I?m looking forward to this release.

Are You Looking Forward To The Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon

 

The Air Jordan 12 Wool isn’t the only Jordan 12 releasing that will be using a brand new material on the upper, as the Air Jordan 12 Black Nylon will also rocking a new look on the model.

Made out of a nylon upper, the new material takes care of the majority of the upper. Early rumors also suggest that the nylon construction will also be waterproof which adds yet another dimension to the new look of the shoe. Being that nylon is used on the upper, the shoe will undoubtedly be lighter to the touch. The entire shoe isn’t made out of nylon though, as the leather overlays still remain on the forefoot and lateral side of the shoe. Subtle accents of red are located on the tongue to add some color to the shoe. Lastly, the shoe will be resting on top of the White sole unit. Priced at $190, the shoe is set to debut at select JB and Nike stockists on September 10. Make sure you visit and bookmark our official Air Jordan 10 Black Nylon launch page now for more images, info and release details.

Could The Air Jordan 12 Low Playoff End Up Looking Like This

Earlier this week, we let you know that Jordan Brand was planning on releasing the Air Jordan 12 Low Playoff. The shoe ended up getting mixed reactions, with many people saying that they wish Jordan Brand had decided to bring back the regular Jordan 12 Playoff instead of the low top version. Although we have yet to see what the shoe will actually look like since the shoe’s images haven’t been leaked yet, @jayzrdead took the time to create a photoshop version of what he thinks the shoes could end up looking like. The Black leather upper is contrasted by the White textured overlays to give the shoe its classic motif. Rounding out the look is the Metallic Silver placed on the top eyelets. If the shoe ends up looking like this, are you looking forward to this release set to drop Spring of 2017? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

The Air Jordan 12 Low is not as good looking as the Air Jordan 12 (high). It?s not an ugly shoe by any means, but I?d rather get the real Playoff 12s and pass up on these.

Red and White sneakers are cool, but I don’t really like the color-blocking on these. Something seems a little off. I will not be picking these up once thy drop.

Author’s Take

This is the first time I’ve gotten to write about this shoe. I’m not really a fan of Purple colored sneakers, but the hue looks pretty good on the Jordan 12. I don’t fit in GS sizes, so this is a pass.

AIR JORDAN 12 WOOL 1 AIR JORDAN 12 WOOL 2

For quite some time, we’ve known that the Air Jordan 12 would release in a brand new colorway that also came with a brand new material we had never seen on the shoe before. Today we finally get our first look at the Air Jordan 12 Wool.

Spotted at the Jordan Flu Game Pop-Up shop in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Jordan 12 in the Wool variation was displayed side to side next to all the Jordan 12s that have released as well as the ones that are also scheduled to release. The Jordan 12 Wool comes with an upper that comes in a predominantly Black wool construction. A Black textured leather mudguard and all-Black sole unit create a tonal look on the shoe. Metal eyelets provide the only form on contrast on the entire shoe. Said to be releasing on October 16th, there’s no doubt that the shoe will be a popular option for the Fall/Winter season.
