Jordan Brand is celebrating the completion of Michael Jordan’s first threepeat with the release of the Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack.

Consisting of two tonal colorways of the Air Jordan 8, today we take a closer look at the back pair that is meant to represent the confetti that rains down from the rafters after wining the championship. This pair of Air Jordan 8s features a full black leather upper with patent leather landing on the eyestay, ankle and heel. Metallic Gold accents are then present on the branding on the tongue as well as on the straps. The finishing details include confetti-inspired graphics on the midsole and on the outsole and writing on the inside of the straps that reads “WORLD CHAMPIONS” and “AGAIN AND AGAIN.”

This all-black pair along with the all-white pair are expected to release on June 25th for a retail price of $250 each. Make sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack to keep up with the latest images, news and release information.

The confetti graphics and the gold hits are nice features that make the shoe pop, but I’m just not a fan of the Air Jordan 8 so I’ll pass on these.

I like this pair better than the all-black pair just because the combination of white and gold looks so nice on this pair. However I wouldn’t cop because I’m not a fan of the Air Jordan 8.

This past weekend we saw the release of the Air Jordan 2 Low Chicago which hadn’t been seen since 1994. if you were one of the people that copped because you’re a fan of the Summer low-top look then you’l be pleased to know that more Air Jordan 2s are on the way.

This time instead of taking inspiration from Michael Jordan’s professional basketball team, it seems that Jordan Brand looked at MJ’s college days for inspiration. This new colorway of the Air Jordan 2 Low features a combination of White, University Blue, and Midnight Navy, the same colors used by the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Get a look at the newest images above and be on the lookout for the Air Jordan 2 Low UNC at select JB retailers beginning on June 11th for a retail price of $160.

I was kind of on the fence about picking up the Air Jordan 2 Low Chicago because I’m a fan of the colorway, but I don’t like the UNC-inspired look so these will be a pass for me.

I’ll always be an advocate for this silhouette. I’m biased towards the colorway so it’s a solid execution. Hopefully, a general release will be offered in the future.

The Air Jordan 12 is having an awesome 2016. Not only were we treated to the ultra limited premium style of the ‘Wings’ and are in the process of revisiting classics like the notorious Flu Games and French Blues, but the Jumpman is mixing things up with the introduction of the Air Jordan 12 “Gym Red”. Inspired by the iconic “Cherry” colorway that paired the asymmetrical red mudguard with a tumbled white leather, here a vibrant flip occurs featuring metallic red lace eyelets, a simple black lining, and a clean white swipe on the lower half of the model. It’s the perfect Chicago theme to match any of your vintage Bulls gear. What do you think of this new take on a Jordan Brand classic? Check out a better view below and grab the Jordan 12 “Gym Red” on July 2nd for $190 USD.

With its expected release already scheduled for this Holiday 2016 season, more previews of the 2016 Air Jordan 11 Space Jam continue to arise.

Certainly the most beloved variation of the silhouette, this forthcoming remastered pair essentially celebrates its 20th anniversary, which originally debuted in the film, Space Jam, back in 1996.

Just like its predecessor, the basketball sneaker will retain its distinctive build with a traditional all-black mesh and patent leather upper. Other notable details include a Concord Jumpman and the number “45” stitched on the back heel instead of “23.”

Finished off with a crisp white midsole unit and translucent outsole, in addition to more branding on the tongue tab, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike accounts on December 23 for $220.

The post The Air Jordan XX3 “Trophy Room” Releases This Saturday appeared first on Sneaker News.

You may believe that the Air Jordan 11 had always featured the number 23 on the heel of the shoe. However, the first-ever Air Jordan 11 that was ever revealed to the public featured Michael’s temporary number of 45, which he adopted after returning from retirement late in the ’94-’95 NBA season. If you recall, Michael Jordan prematurely debuted the Air Jordan 11 in the “Concord” colorway during the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals against the Magic, and in Game 4 of the series debuted a black/blue pair that we’ve come to know as the “Space Jam”. This year’s release of the Air Jordan 11 Retro “Space Jam” will in fact feature the number 45 on the heel (The 2001 and 2009 Retro releases had “23”). Stay tuned for more updates and stay tuned for the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” to release this December.
