As a native of Brazil and the upcoming Summer 2016 Olympics to be held in Rio de Janeiro, a special edition Air Jordan 5 Low has been created for famous Brazilian professional footballer, Neymar.

Boasting a dazzling reflective silver upper to evoke the star’s uncanny ability and skill on the soccer field, subtle speckles of black are applied for a touch of contrast, while more tonal black accents adorn the tongue, laces, inner lining, signature netting on the side panels and midsole unit.

Additional silver/black hits are evident on the jagged component on the midsole as well, while pops of Infrared located behind the tongue, lace lock, Jumpman branding on the tongue, numbers “23” and “10” on the heels and frontal portion of the outsole add more vibrance to its eye-catching aesthetic.

All resting atop an icy translucent outsole, you can purchase this standout pair at select Nike and JB retailers starting June 9th for $200.

Although I’m more for the silhouette in its original cut, this rendition isn’t that bad. I like the execution and I’m a fan.

The iconic Air Jordan 2 in its low-top form will be offered in a classic colorway this weekend, as new images of the forthcoming pair are presented yet again.

Essentially defined by its Bull’s-inspired palette, white consists as the majority tone across the premium leather upper, while black accents on the inner lining and midsole are complemented by bright hits of red gracing the heel, signature wings logo on the tongue and outlining of its side panels to encapsulate the theme.

Priced at $160, you can purchase this upcoming remastered pair at select JB and Nike stockists this Saturday, May 21st.

I?m not really a fan of this model in low-cut form. If it was the original build, I?ll look forward to purchasing. Either way, it?s still a classic pair that a lot of fans will consider getting.

While this Air Jordan 6 won’t be released to the public, a new variation of the Air Jordan 23 that pays tribute to Marcus Jordan and his upcoming sneaker store, Trophy Room, will be offered instead.

With two colorways scheduled to debut, official images of the black/metallic gold version have now released. The sneaker’s upper essentially flaunts the subdued and bold color scheme across, with notable design elements consisting of signatures on the toe cap, special logos reflecting the store on the insoles and the words “HEIR” “JORDAN” on the inner tongues.

All resting atop a translucent outsole, a release date for this pair has not been confirmed yet, but it’s likely to be introduced on May 23 — the grand opening of the Trophy Room Store.

Retail price is set at $275.

I’ve never was a fan of this silhouette much. The execution looks solid though. If you’re a die-hard fan of the model, this should be sought after.

In celebration of Marcus Jordan’s new Trophy Room Store, a special sneaker boutique that will be open to the public on May 23, JB has produced an exclusive 1-of-1 Air Jordan 6.

Flaunting a predominantly grey/white color palette, the silhouette is accentuated with golden details across its entirety to perfectly coordinate with the retailer’s respective name.

Don’t look forward to seeing it release, as Marcus himself, stated that these are for the store only.

Author’s Take

I’m a fan of this silhouette a lot. Hopefully JB will reconsider and release the model in the future. The overall execution looks great.

While a few different cities around the world have already gotten their own Air Jordan 10 this year, we now know that the city of London will also be part of the City Pack.

A late addition to the 2016 City Collection/Pack, this Air Jordan 10 comes with a light and dark grey color scheme. Light grey covers the majority of the leather upper while dark grey can be seen on the tongue, laces, eyestay, ankle, and midsole. Certain areas of the dark grey leather have a crackled appearance for a marble or distressed aesthetic. Gold detailing on the LDN embroidering and the Jumpman on the heel finish off the look on this Air Jordan 10.

Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for updates.

Author’s Takes

Andres Carrillo, News: These pictures kind of look like they’re done in black/white so it’s a little difficult to really tell what the colorway looks like. I like what I see so far though, so much that I just may have to pick up a pair.

Don’t look now, but the Air Jordan 9 Low Pantone will actually be releasing in less than a month. Are you excited for this release? Are you a fan of the model and colorway? If you answered you to any of those questions, check out these new images of this upcoming drop.

The Air Jordan 9 Low will come dressed in a Pantone (University Blue) leather upper. The smooth leather on the majority of the upper is accompanied by the tonal textured leather placed on the mudguard and heel region. In an effort to break up the tonal look of the upper, white accents are placed on the midsole, outsole and the 23 branding on the heel. Lastly, black hits make their way to the lining and branding on the heel and tongue. Slated to drop on June 11th for $170, is this considered a must-cop? Peep our official Air Jordan 9 Low Pantone launch page now for additional release details and more.

Author’s Take

The Air Jordan 9 Low is a solid model, but I don’t really favor the Pantone look. Baby Blue colored sneakers aren’t really my thing.

Next week we’ll be seeing the grand opening of Marcus Jordan’s sneaker store known as Trophy Room. Aside from restocking some of the latest and greatest Air Jordan releases, there will also be a special limited edition colorway of the Air Jordan 23 releasing exclusively in-store.

Known as the Air Jordan 23 Trophy Room, this release will be limited to just 523 pairs. So you know that resell is going to be crazy with these. 23Penny.com must have some kind of connections because they’re already reselling the shoe on their site for $999.99 in a full size run. This is most likely a pre-order since they ship after the release date.

The post Air Jordan 1 High Nouveau With Navy Blue Snake Uppers appeared first on Sneaker News.

This weekend we’ll be seeing the debut of three tonal colorways of a brand new Air Jordan 1. First spotted earlier this month, this new Air Jordan 1 is highlighted by the absence of the Swoosh branding.

Where we usually see the Nike Swoosh running across the side panels of the Air Jordan 1, these particular pairs completely remove the Swoosh. In addition to removing the Swoosh, we also see a premium leather upper used on this sneaker that would make a great “every day shoe” for the Summer thanks to the tonal and simplistic look. Releasing in Trooper (olive), Black, and Arctic Orange (pink) colorways, all three pairs hit select Jordan Brand retailers on May 21st for a retail price of $150. Will you be going after a pair?

via: Bait

Author’s Take

The materials on these pair of 1s look as good as Shattered Backboard quality (or better), but it’s just not an Air Jordan 1 without a Swoosh to me. It looks more of like a designer shoe. I’ll pass on these.

Kids-exclusive Air Jordan colorways usually go with an array of colorful and bright options, but this latest look for the Grade School Air Jordan 6 goes for a decidedly more muted look. In all grey and black, these aren’t your average children’s sized J’s. Get your best look yet at the more grown up look for the Air Jordan 6 GS, and keep in mind they arrive at select Jordan Brand retailers like Sneaker Politics this Saturday, May 21st.

You’ve had more than enough time to think about it. The Air Jordan 4 PRM Snakeskin release is less than a week away. Which leads to my next question: Are you ready to drop $400 on this latest premium version of the Air Jordan 4?

You can do a lot with $400, and unfortunately it’s now not out of the ordinary to drop that much money on a pair of retros. You’ve already seen plenty of images of the shoe to know that this premium iteration comes with a full faux snakeskin upper done up in white, pure platinum and wolf grey colorway. Accenting the reptilian look of the shoe are the light bone premium tumbled leather placed on the overlays, wings and tongue. Even more leather is seen on the lining, while the copper metal hits placed on the eyelets and heel add another premium dimension to the shoe. Is this a cop or not? Visit visit our Air Jordan 4 PRM Snakeskin launch page if you need more convincing on this release.

Author’s Take

I like premium and luxury looking sneakers, but these appear to be doing too much. $400 is a tough pill to swallow especially on a sneaker that has ?faux snakeskin leather? opposed to real snakeskin leather.

The post Who’s Dropping $400 On The Air Jordan 4 PRM Snakeskin This Weekend? appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

$400 for a pair of Jays was unheard of just a couple of years ago. Today, it’s an acceptable condition for a pair of shoes so finely crafted, with materials and details that are more luxury handbag than retro basketball shoe. It all started with the Air Jordan 1 Pinnacle, a series of Air Jordan 1 releases that shed the synthetic leathers/suedes/meshes for the legit stuff that ages properly with wear. And while the Air Jordan 4 isn’t technically a “Pinnacle” release, the price and package conclude that these releases is the best we’ll ever see (for the time being). This Saturday, the “Snakeskin” pair will be up for grabs at Jordan.com and select retailers like Deadstock, so get a detailed look below and see what’s up for grabs now on eBay.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: Out of the entire offerings from the city pack this year, I feel that this is the best pair, even though it’s almost similar to the NYC pair. I just like the overall execution and how the accentuating colors were placed.

The post Air Jordan 10 Shanghai appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

Following an initial overview earlier this month, the latest Air Jordan 1 High Nouveau in Midnight Navy is featured in a new lifestyle editorial, as the silhouette has now arrived at select retailers.

Exuding a more lifestyle appeal, the sneaker’s leather upper is constructed of a snakeskin build, while the defining hue emits a sleeker profile. Tonal mesh accents are prominent on the Swooshes across its side panels, collar section and tongue to promote sufficient ventilation, while complementing accents of white adorn the inner lining, iconic wings logo on the ankles and Jumpman branding across the tongue to solidify the simplistic two-tone palette.

All resting atop a crisp white rubber sole unit, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike stockists overseas first, while a stateside release is imminent.

Author’s Take

I’m over the snakeskin trend but this pair is a pretty solid offering. I’m biased towards the color combo and this pair looks really well constructed.
