AIR JORDAN 5 1 AIR JORDAN 5 2 AIR JORDAN 5 3 AIR JORDAN 5 4

Any Air Jordan/Supreme/Legos enthusiasts out there? If you happen to be a fan of all three products, this art piece was made for you. What you see above is a replica of the Supreme x Air Jordan 5 Desert Camo made entirely out of Lego pieces. Yeah, you read that correctly. A close look at the shoe and you will see that features such as the lace lock, icy outsole and even the camo accents are placed on the Lego version. What are your thoughts on this? Would you be interest in creating your very own sneaker if Legos were to ever establish a collaboration with Nike/Air Jordan/adidas? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I haven’t played with Legos for close to 20 years, but I’d be willing to waste some time on building an Air Jordan 1 Chicago. It’s cool.

Not seen since its first and only retro release in 1994, the Air Jordan 2 Low Chicago is ready to make its grand comeback this weekend.

Known as one of the few OG colorways of the Air Jordan 2, this Jordan retro features a White leather upper with textured leather appearing on the ankle and ankle. Varsity Red accents are then present on the heel, outsole, piping, and on the wings logo on the tongue. Finishing off the Chicago theme are touches of black on the inner liner and midsole.

Who plans on scooping up a pair when they drop on May 21st? Remember that retail price will be $160. Also make sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 2 Low Chicago launch page for the latest updates on this release.

Why couldn?t this have been the OG mid-top Air Jordan 2? I would have been ALL OVER that release.

Will You Be Picking Up The Air Jordan 12 GS University Blue

This weekend we’ll be seeing a handful of Air Jordans releasinh including the Air Jordan 2 Low Chicago and a trio of Swooshless Air Jordan 1s.

Perhaps the pair that most people like the best (but will be salty because they’re only releasing in GS sizes) is the Air Jordan 12 GS University Blue. Featuring an all-white leather upper, this Air Jordan 12 is then contrasted beautifully by University Blue detailing on the outsole, inner liner, heel, and branding on the tongue. We also see gold make an appearance on the upper eyelets.

Scheduled to release on May 21st in sizes only up to 7Y, how many people pan on grabbing a pair for $140. Make sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 12 GS University Blue launch page to stay updated with pictures, videos, release information and more.

Author’s Take

I’m not a fan of University Blue/Carolina Blue/Sky Blue or whatever else you wanna call this light shade of blue so I don’t really mind that these will be a GS exclusive.

Yesterday we found out that the special Black Trophy Room colorway of the Air Jordan 23 that Jordan Brand created from Marcus Jordan is expected to release online.

It is believed that this black colorway will be available in more quantities than the 523 pairs that will release of the white colorway, but nothing has been confirmed yet. The Air Jordan 23 Trophy Room features a black, white and gold color scheme with special embroidered detailing on the upper. Suede also makes an appearance on the toe for a look of luxury. Added details include HEIR JORDAN written behind the tongue and the Trophy Room logo on the insoles.

Expected to release on May 23rd for a retail price of $275, so you hope to get your hands on a pair? Make sure you follow our Air Jordan 23 Trophy Room Black launch page for the latest updates.

Author’s Take

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a pair of Air Jordan 23s for a couple of years now and this black pair is really nice. The only thing I don’t like is how limited it is and the estimated $275 price tag.

A Detailed Look At The Air Jordan XX3 Trophy Room

Jordan Brand and Trophy Room are reviving the Air Jordan XX3 in a big way. In conjunction with the grand opening on Monday, the Air Jordan XX3 will be released in two distinct golden styles – a white-based pair exclusive to the store, and this black-based pair that is presumed to release on Nike.com. It is currently unknown just how limited this black version is, as it doesn’t not feature the individual numbering that its counterpart does. In addition, a release date for these Trophy Room-inspired Air Jordan 23s hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but stay tuned for more updates as we approach the official opening of the store on Monday, May 23rd.

The Air Jordan Defining Moments Package

This is how one sneaker release transformed an entire brand. The period from 2000 to 2005 was a time during which sneakerheads were given the opportunity to explore their own niche. We forged relationships with shop-owners, enjoyed the greatest sneaker collaborations in history, and resold only when we had to. All the while, the brands didn’t have much of a grasp about what was going on and frankly nobody outside of our weird foot fetish did either.

During that span, the Air Jordan Retro was just one of the many categories that operated in its own ecosystem, and it was far from being the ubiquitous retro basketball shoe it is today. Back then, some rocked SB Dunks or Air Force 1s (rarely both). Others hunted after general-release Retro runners that were often available at clearance. There were campouts for certain collaboration, but Jordans almost never garnered a massive crowd like it does so often today. 2001 will go down as the best year in Air Jordan Retro history, but nobody gave a damn then, and the enthusiasts that go wild today are either too young or too new to this.

Most of the time, we copped Jordans simply because we couldn’t have them back in the day. But if it wasn’t an original colorway, that shoe rarely mattered. There was no cultural or historical tie to why the color pink belonged on an Air Jordan VI (a Low, no less), and there never will be. In fact, that was the whole stigma against new retro colorways; there was no reason for them to exist, because Michael never wore them. There are exceptions to that rule, like the Laney 5s and the Cool Grey 11s was the subject of a segment in TLC’s “Buy-ology”, an educational program that explored purchase habits of the obsessed. Shows like that have been cancelled, of course, in favor of the garbage that’s on air today.

In 2005, not a year after Michael Jordan officially ended his playing career, word started to spread about a unicorn of a sneaker release. I remember all the comments of disbelief on NikeTalk when the news first spread, and those thoughts were justified because it just seemed to good to be true. At the time, the Air Jordan VI and Air Jordan XI were the two most popular Air Jordans – more so than the Air Jordan 1 and even the Air Jordan III. It had been half a decade since Jordan Brand put out either shoe on store shelves, so to release both as part of a package didn’t seem possible. It seemed out of Jordan Brand’s realm of concern.

As photos and release info continued to trickle through, it was quickly understood that the Defining Moments Package was more than a shoe release – it was a necessary and appropriate tribute to Michael Jordan done in a way that pushed the envelope and forced the industry to step up its collective game. It was a history lesson in shoe form and it shifted the public perception of Jordan Brand from a company hinging on old products to one that uses the past to educate the future. The challenge for Jordan Brand today is to educate the young consumer that never saw MJ play or is too busy retweeting Jordan crying memes to look up old clips.

These Air Jordan 1 Lows With No Swoosh Are Releasing Soon

Air Jordan 1 Low Air Jordan 1 Low 1 Air Jordan 1 Low 2 Air Jordan 1 Low 3 Air Jordan 1 Low 4 Air Jordan 1 Low 5 Air Jordan 1 Low 6 Air Jordan 1 Low 7 Air Jordan 1 Low 8

As part of its extensive Spring/Summer 2016 collection, an Air Jordan 1 Low No Swoosh has been produced, as it’s set to be offered in three inaugural colorways — black, trooper (olive) and arctic orange.

Simply aimed for the lifestyle market, the iconic silhouette is essentially revamped with a premium tumbled leather upper and lined with suede in its respective tone. As suggested, the sneaker’s distinctive aesthetic is defined by the absence of the recognizable check across its side panels in order to execute a solid minimalist approach.

All resting atop a clean white rubber sole unit, other notable details include ?Nike Air? branding on the tongue, and the iconic wings logo on the heel.

Retailing for $150 each, you can purchase your favorite pair at select JB and Nike retailers starting this Saturday, May 21st, while complementary hats will be offered as well.

It gives off a designer-label sneaker vibe and I guess that is what the brand aimed to do. I?m all for simplicity and minimalism, but I?m really not that tempted yet in purchasing this style. The makeup looks solid though.

While the AJ 4 PRM Snakeskin highlights this weekend’s releases, this classic rendition of the Air Jordan 2 Low will also be offered, as the silhouette utilizes the classic colorway that was first seen on MJ back in 1994.

As noted, the model is furnished in the Bulls’ signature team colors. White is predominant across its premium leather upper, while touches of red and black located on the heel, inner lining, rubber sole unit and outlining of its side panels encapsulates the overall theme.

Additionally detailed with perforations along its toe and medial, in addition to a reptilian texture across the collar, you can purchase this silhouette at select JB and Nike stores on Saturday, May 21st for $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.

A closer look at latest Air Jordan 1 High Nouveau in Midnight Navy is revealed, as the model is essentially a lifestyle revised iteration of the iconic basketball silhouette.

Punctuated by its understated yet sleek leather upper, which is composed of exotic snakeskin build, matching mesh accents are evident on the the Swooshes to help increase ventilation throughout the component.

You can purchase this simple two-tone variation of the model at select JB and Nike stockists nationwide for $150.
