Author’s Take

There’s a lot of 12s I likes this year. This is not one that I’d consider picking up. Maybe in another year, but not this year when there’s so many other colorways to choose from.

Author’s Take

I just picked up my first pair of 11 Lows with the Navy Gum pair. I’m thinking I may have to cop 2 pairs in the same year. The fact that these are leather on the upper is dope.

The next Air Jordan 10 from this year’s City Pack is releasing in 10 days. I’m talking about the Air Jordan 10 Charlotte. If you’re a fan of the White, Purple and Teal look, or even of a fan of the Charlotte Hornets, this drop should be considered a must-cop, right?

The Jordan 10 Charlotte features a White leather upper nicely contrasted by the Purple and Teal hits placed on the tongue, eyestay, ankle, laces, outsole and heel. The city of Charlotte is well represented as “CHA” is placed on the ankle.

Author’s Take

The color scheme is a classic one, but I don’t really dig the Air Jordan 10. This is a Jordan release I’ll pass on and won’t even think twice about it.

Author’s Take

The gold heel counter that represents the Larry O?Brien trophy is pretty creative. I really like that on the shoe, I just wish it wasn?t done on the Air Jordan 8 (which I don?t like). The Black pair looks really clean too, I just don’t really like the confetti print on the heel counter.

Which Pair Is Better From The Air Jordan 1 High OG Premium Essentials Pack

jordan 1 2 jordan 1

We just went over the Air Jordan 1 High OG Premium Essentials Pack, but right before was going to call it a day, I came across new images of both colorways that make up the Air Jordan 1 High pack and decided to share them with you.

Although the shoe appears to be a Asia exclusive, nothing is set in stone just yet, which means that we could very well be seeing these shoe appear in th states sometime in the near future. The Premium Essential Pack comes with 2 Air Jordan 1 High OG pairs. The first pair comes in a White leather upper offset by the Black hits placed on the lining, Wings and Nike Swoosh branding. The second pair comes in a Black leather upper contrasted by the White accents placed on the branding and midsole. Both pairs come with Nike Branding placed on a Red tongue tag that helps give the shoe some minimal pop. Releasing on June 11th in Asia, we will be sure to let you know if these ever get a stateside release date.

Author’s Take

Nike Air branding or not, I think the shoes are much too plain for me to want to buy a pair. I need the upper to have more going on. Easy pass.

If you weren’t able to pick up a pair of the Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar last week, you may still have a chance to do so as a couple of international retailers are getting ready to release them real soon. Before you decide whether you want to try to get a pair or not, let’s take a look at the latest images of the Neymar inspired Air Jordan 5 Low.

The shoe’s most noticeable feature is the reflective 3M detaling placed all over the upper.
Giving the shoe some additional pop are the Black speckles placed all over the upper. Crimson hits appear on the tongue lining, Jumpman hits, lace locks and outsole, while Black accents throughout the shoe tone it down a bit. Want a pair? Germany’s BSTN is releasing them tomorrow, and yes, they do ship to the US. Let us know if you plan on picking up a pair.

Author’s Take

I?m pretty sure many people would have loved this color on the Air Jordan 2 instead of the Air Jordan 2 Low. Regardless, it?s a solid colorway that will probably still garner a substantial amount of attention. It won’t sell out, but it will do well.

Author’s Take

Just like the white and gold Olympic pair, I don?t like the patent leather tongue on this pair of 5s. I think these will be a pass for me.

I don?t hate how it looks in low-cut form, but I?d really prefer the model in its original form. The colorway isn?t for me, but it?s pretty appealing. This should get some attention.
