Michael Jordan’s first three-peat with the Chicago Bulls ended after a victory over Charles Barkley and the Phoenix Suns and the surprising off-season decision to retire from the game of basketball to pursue his father’s dream – playing professional baseball. In honor of the 23rd anniversary of the feat, Jordan Brand is releasing two premium Air Jordan 8 colorways as a part of the ongoing “Champagne and Cigar Pack” referencing the two celebratory treats after taking home the Larry O’Brien trophy. Today we get a detailed look at the Air Jordan 8 “Champagne”, a pair that boasts a premium Light Bone leather upper complete with a contrasting Metallic Gold patent leather on the mudguard to match the strap accents. Expect this pair to hit select retailers in a limited quantity on June 25th for a premium price point of $250 USD. Will you be picking up a pair? Let us know in the comments section.

I?ve shared before that I?m a fan of the silhouette. I like the simplicity of this palette, especially since the upper is all-white. A nice pair for the youngsters or ladies.

Joining alongside the notable AJ 2 Low Chicago, AJ 4 PRM Snakeskin and AJ 12 GS University Blue this weekend will be the latest variation of the new Air Jordan 30.

The defining gym red hue essentially covers the basketball sneaker’s mixed material woven upper, while it’s treated in gradient finish to emit a sleeker look. The brightest portion is along its medial, toe box and distinctive “XXX” motif on the heel, while it subtly fades to black on the rear.

Further detailed with a reinforcing toe cap, additional black accents grace the tongue, laces, inner lining, collar and heel unit to solidify its “BRED” palette, while a subtle galaxy theme is evident on a portion of the midsole.

All resting atop an icy translucent outsole, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike stockists on Saturday, May 21st for $200.

These latest colorways on the silhouette have been superb. I know a lot of fans are disappointed with the design (I?m not), but this upcoming colorway is pretty solid. I?m just biased.

For those of you looking forward to the Air Jordan 6 GS Cool Grey, the silhouette is scheduled to finally arrive at retailers this weekend.

As seen in the gallery above, the grade school variation of the classic basketball sneaker flaunts a simple two-tone colorway. The defining hue is utilized for its nubuck underlays and portions of its midsole, while black leather overlays compose the majority of its upper. In addition, the subdued tone is applied on the laces, tongue, inner lining and heel tab to top it off.

All adhered atop an icy translucent outsole, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike accounts on Saturday, May 21st for a retail price tag of $140.

I?m a big fan of this model. I wish it was offered in larger sizing. I?m pretty biased towards this color combo and this should do well.

The next iteration of the Air Jordan 2 Low will be offered this weekend, as the silhouette utilizes the classic palette that was first seen on MJ back in 1994.

Reflective of the Bull’s signature colors, the sneaker flaunts a clean white leather upper, while the theme is encapsulated with accents of red and black prominent on the rubber sole unit, across the heel, inner lining and outlining of its side panels.

Further detailed with perforations on the toe and medial, alongside a reptilian texture across the collar, you can find the sneaker at JB and Nike stockists on Saturday, May 21st for a price tag of $160.

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.

Baltsneakershow?s IG recently shared the image above showing the Air Jordan 1 Low No Swoosh coming in an all-White colorway. Just like the upcoming three pairs, there is now Swoosh to be found, and the tumbled leather is on point. As of right now, the shoe is said to only be a sample, but if these do end up releasing, we will be sure to let you know. Would you like to see these drop? Sound off in the comments below.

Considered to be one of the best retro drops of the first half of 2016, the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game is close to releasing to the public. We’ve seen a good amount of showing the beauty of the shoe, but very few (if any) of those pictures shoe the 12s on-feet. That changes today with these brand new on-feet images of the Flu Games courtesy of Lapstone & Hammer.

This classic Air Jordan 12 comes covered in a Black leather base beautifully contrasted by the Varsity Red placed throughout the shoe. The Varsity Red extends to the sole to create a nice balance and sense of fluidity. Worn by Michael Jordan during one of his most epic performances of all-time, many people are saying that you need t0 pick up AT LEAST two pairs once these drop. Releasing on on May 28th for $190, visit our Air Jordan 12 Flu Game launch page for the latest images, videos, news, and other updates. Cop or drop?

One of the best colorways of the 12. I have the French Blue 12 (shout out to my brother), and these look like a must-cop as well.

If the Air Jordan 11 Low Navy and Gum joints aren’t really your thing, perhaps this Air Jordan 11 Low coming in more traditional colorways is what you choose to pick up next month. With the release date rapidly approaching, today we take a look at the latest images of this upcoming Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red.

The Air Jordan 11 Low start off with a White mesh base. The White is sharply contrasted by the bold Varsity Red patent leather placed on the toe and mudguard region. Additional Varsity Red can be seen on the traction of the outsole as well as on the tiny Jumpman branding placed on the heel and tongue. A White midsole sits on top of the translucent to complete the sleek aesthetic of the shoe. Releasing on June 4th for $170, are you looking forward to picking up a pair?

It’s a solid colorway, but it’s still going to be a pass for me. Only because I’m really selective when it comes to what Jordans I pick up.

A Navy Blue upper. A Gum bottom. Usually those aren’t characteristics you’re used to using to describe an Air Jordan 11. Jordan Brand flips the scrips on us and gives us an Air Jordan 11 Low in a look we’ve never quite seen before. Here’s the latest look of the Air Jordan 11 Low Navy Gum.

While the construction of the Air Jordan 11 Low remains true to form, it’s the color-blocking used that as the people talking. A Navy Blue hue takes care of the shoe’s mesh/patent leather upper. The same hue extends to the lining and laced. Contrasting the tonal look of the upper is the White midsole paired up with the Gum bottom outsole.  It’s definitely a look we’re not used to seeing on the model, but there’s no doubt that it has everyone talking about it. Priced at $170, you can expect to find this pair at select JB and Nike retailers on June 4th. Bookmark our official Air Jordan 11 Low Navy Gum launch page now for additional information and release details.

One of the few Air Jordan retros that I consider a must-cop this year.  The Navy Blue and Gum combination is butter!

The most anticipated Air Jordan retro of the summer is almost upon us. First released in 1997 and not returning in original form since 2003, it’s been a long wait for the “Flu Game” Air Jordan 12, so it’s understandable if you’re currently dying of anticipation for their 2016 comeback. Here to make you even thirstier for the Flu Games are the official images from Nike, showing the black and red full-grain leather colorway in all their glory. Enjoy the detailed look at the coveted Air Jordan 12’s here, and don’t forget to mark their May 28th release date on your calendars if you’re planning to buy a pair, or snag one now on eBay.

Not sure if you’ve had the chance to take a look at our sneaker release calendar lately, but lots of shoes are dropping this weekend, including three different Air Jordan retros. One of those drops happens to be the Air Jordan 2 Low Chicago. While the Air Jordan 2 hasn’t done extremely well this year when it comes to sales, does this one have the potential to change things around?

Coming in the Chicago Bulls team colors, the Jordan 2 Low Chicago comes dressed in a White leather upper contrasted by the hits of Red and Black placed throughout the upper and sole. Jordan Wings branding is placed on the tongue, while Nike branding is placed on the outsole. Does the shoe have potential to do good numbers, or will it just just another retro release? Dropping May 21st for $160, be sure to check out our official Air Jordan 2 Low Chicago launch page now for more images, info and release details.

By far the best colorway of the 2s that I’ve seen this year. It’s a toss up whether I’ll pick these up or not. With that being said, if you want a pair, you should have no problem picking up a pair.

One sneaker that many people are sleeping on that releases this weekend is the Air Jordan 6 GS Cool Grey.

Utilizing a combination of Black and Cool Grey on the upper, this Air Jordan 6 uses a couple of different materials. Cool Grey nubuck lands on the toebox, side panels, and midsole while black tumbled leather can be seen on the overlays, ankle, heel and midsole. Finished off with an icy blue translucent outsole, how many of you plan on grabbing this Air Jordan 6 on Saturday. Remember that retail price will be$140 and it releases in extended GS sizes all the way up to 9.5Y.

One of the nicest colorways of the Air Jordan 6 that has released in a while. Too bad these won?t be releasing in men?s sizes, I think they would have done great.
