Another Look At The Upcoming Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red

Air Jordan 11 Low Air Jordan 11 Low 1

Following a report of its expected release date, another look at the forthcoming Air Jordan 11 Low in Varsity Red is presented yet again, as the model will receive its first revival since its initial release back in 2002.

Essentially a remastered take of the OG pair, the sneaker’s defining tone is prominently displayed on the patent leather mudguard, as white mesh comprises the remainder of the upper while resting atop a matching sole unit.

Additional pops of red are evidenced with the miniature Jumpman branding on the rear and tongue, as the entire composition is topped off by an icy translucent outsole.

Priced at $170, you can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike accounts starting on June 4th.

Author’s Take

I?m just biased towards this colorway. I really wanted it bad back then. This pair is the best low-top variation in my view, and it?s just a classic. I?m glad to see it being revived.

Other than standout Los Angeles and Chicago Flag iterations from the “City” pack, this latest GS rendition of the Air Jordan 10 will also make its debut this weekend.

Doused in a pure platinum finish for its smooth leather upper and midsole unit, tonal black converges on the leather eye lets, collar section, tongue, laces and outsole. The defining theme is prominent on the inner lining, outsole and rear via the Jumpman branding to cap off the simplistic, yet vibrant colorway.

Retailing for $140, you can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike stockists on May 14th.

I?m a fan of the silhouette overall. The colorway is pretty solid and versatile. It?s suitable for both males and females in my view, but unfortunately large sizing is pretty limited.

Check Out The Original Air Jordan 10 City Pack

Air Jordan 10 Air Jordan 10 1 CHICAGO NEW YORK SACRAMENTO ORLANDO SEATLLE

For this S/S 2016, JB has revamped its Air Jordan 10 ?City Pack,? which essentially pays tribute to a particular city around the world. With some of the newest additions include Rio and Charlotte, showcased above consists of the model’s OG series from the ’90s, which feature five cities — Chicago, New York City, Sacramento, Orlando, and Seattle.

The series is being remembered by the Swoosh and it serves as a good history lesson for those of you who weren’t aware of the classic pairs. Each comprised of premium leather in black or white, subtle vibrant accents that reflect each respective city is prominent on the outsole and inner lining.

Interestingly, unlike this year’s pairs, the distinctive embroidery across the collar section is absent.

Head over to our official Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles and Air Jordan 10 Chicago Flag launch pages now, as both models are scheduled to drop this weekend.

I wasn’t aware of the entire OG lineup either. I’ve only seen the Chicago and NY pair before. Hopefully the brand revives this pack instead.

Previously featured last month, another look at the Air Jordan 9 Low PE that was exclusive to the Jordan Brand Classic this year is presented once again.

The JBC essentially showcases the top female and male high school basketball players worldwide, in which they participate in international and regional games to mold their competitiveness and passion for the sport. Some of today’s great players have attended the event, such as, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

This special variation of the silhouette flaunts a clean white leather upper with tonal snakeskin overlays gracing the mudguard. Contrasting black accents adorn the tongue, laces and inner lining, while is all rests atop a marble printed outsole.

Further detailed with Infrared branding, unfortunately, this player exclusive version of the silhouette will not be available to the public.

I generally like the model in its original cut, but it looks good in this colorway. Hopefully a release in the future will be offered.

New Colorways Of The Air Jordan 6 Will Release Next Year

If you’re a fan of the Air Jordan 6, last year was a good year for you with plenty of colorways to choose from. Even the Air Jordan 6 Maroon with Nike branding made an appearance. If you can’t get enough of the Jordan 6, next year will provide even more for you to choose from.

Reliable source @baltsneakershow recently tweeted out news that new colorways of the Air Jordan 6 will arrive in 2017. Some of the colorways include a shoe named the Air Jordan 6 Hornets and Air Jordan 6 Hare. Not much is known regarding what the shoes look like, but Dino did mention that the Hornets colorway will probably come with a Black iridescent upper sometime during the Spring of 2017. Keep it locked as more information of both upcoming Air Jordan 6 colorways begin to surface.

NBA 2K Kicks Retro: Remembering The Air Jordan 12 Flu Game

When I first booted up NBA 2K11 on my Xbox 360, I got the chills. For the first time since NBA Street Vol. 2 in the early 2000s, I was going to be able to play as Michael Jordan proper in a current video game, not “no-name white guy who wears #99 for the legendary Bulls teams.” 2K Sports had secured the rights to MJ to not only use him in the game, but to give him the proper tribute with a full-blown Jordan Challenge Mode that tasks you to recreate his finest moments.

2K Sports
2K Sports

The prize for playing the game along with winning these challenges? Unlockable Air Jordans. If only real life were as simple as video games, right?

As it turns out, the Jordan Challenges weren’t that easy. Some could be attained simply by spamming MJ and having him score every time down the court (like in The Arrival and The Double Nickel), but anytime the requirements had you doing more than just scoring – like trying to hold Dominique Wilkins to less than 25 points or grabbing 9 or more rebounds – it could become quite the hassle.

So which MJ performance ended up being a royal pain to recreate in a video game? The Flu Game, of course. The challenge? Score 38 points (doable), dish out 5 assists (not too hard), bring down 7 rebounds (dammit) and win the game (of course). Oh, and you have 8-minute quarters because 2K Sports wants to make it just a little bit harder on you with less time to get those numbers than even MJ did.

Along with The Father’s Day game (9+ rebounds, ugh), The Flu Game was one of the tougher challenges for me. But the end was worth it as we got to relive one of the most memorable sports moments ever. I mean, look at these guys who were more than happy to play second fiddle in a 2K commercial to digital MJ and his moments.

Later this month, the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game returns to stores (only for a few minutes because you know it’s selling out fast). One of the first times we got to see the Air Jordan 12 in a video game was in NBA 2K11 for the Jordan Challenge and as a longtime fan of the 12, it was a sight to see. If you’ve never owned a pair before but have played 2K11 over and over, this is your chance to finally cop the legendary kicks. Stay tuned to KicksOnFire.com and bookmark our Air Jordan 12 Flu Game launch page for all the latest information and images.

Alongside the Chicago Flag and Los Angeles iterations from the standout “City” pack, this latest GS variation of the Air Jordan 10 is also slated to make its arrival this weekend.

Featuring a pure platinum-colored leather upper and midsole unit, the slight pristine tone is offset by tonal black, which is prominent on the sole, tongue, laces, eyelets and along the collar. Additionally, the defining hue is evidenced on the inner lining and outsole to add vibrancy to its subdued build.

Other notable details include pull tabs for easy accessibility, embossed branding on the tongue in addition to a multi-colored branded patch behind the component. Furthermore, the distinctive Jumpman logo is embroidered across its heels and also found on the outsole in contrasting white.

Priced at $140, you can purchase this pair at select JB and Nike stores on Saturday, May 14th.

A Detailed Look At The Swoosh-less Air Jordan 1 Low


Jordan Brand surprised everyone when they removed the Swoosh on the Air Jordan 1 Low for three upcoming tonal colorways for Summer 2016. The premium Swoosh-less offerings are slated to arrive later this month and are turning heads thanks to a luxurious full-grain tumbled leather that focuses on quality instead of branding throughout. Available in black, olive green, and pink, each pair sees embossed Nike Air branding on the tongue while a subdued classic Wings logo lands on the heel in a matching shade. What do you think of the Jumpman’s decision to ditch the Swoosh branding on the side panels? Continue onward for a detailed look at the latest Swoosh-less Jordan 1 release and be on the lookout for these three pairs to arrive at retailers on May 21st for $150 USD.

Following initial leaked images of the Air Jordan 1 Low with no Swoosh, an overview of the model’s three upcoming colorways — black, olive and pink — is now presented, courtesy of HighSnobiety.

As the title states, this particular rendition of the iconic silhouette has been revamped with a more lifestyle feel. Composed of full-grain tumbled leather, the recognizable check on the side panels are now absent to keep a minimalist aesthetic overall.

Further detailed with a soft lining that wraps the interior collar and tongue, other notable elements include branding embossed on the tongue, the ?Wings? logo on the heel and Jumpman engraved metal lace tips.

Retailing for $150 each, the range will also arrive alongside matching hats. Stay tuned in to KicksOnFire for an official release date and more info.

It looks more like a designer label sneaker. I?m all for simplicity and minimalism, but I?m really not that tempted yet in purchasing this style. The makeup looks solid though.

This past weekend we saw the release of the Air Jordan 10 Rio, the latest installment in the Air Jordan 10 City Pack. In a few days we’ll be seeing two more colorways from the City Pack hit retailers with one of them being the Chicago Flag pair that you see above.

Inspired by the city that Michael Jordan called home throughout most of his NBA career, this Air Jordan 10 borrows its color scheme from the colors that are seen on the flag of Chicago. The shoe features White throughout the majority of the upper with University Blue and Bright Crimson detailing on the tongue, laces, eyestay, ankle, outsole, the Jumpman branding on the heel and the ?CHI? writing by the ankle. Capping things off is a Black inner liner.

Releasing on May 14th for a retail price of $190, will you be scooping up this Air Jordan 10? Make sure you visit our Air Jordan 10 Chicago Flag launch page for the latest updates.

Author?s Take

The only reason I would pick up this pair of 10s is if I were from the city of Chicago or lived there because the inspiration/theme looks to be on point. But since I don?t these are a pass for me.

Author’s Take

An all-white pair of Air Jordan 6 Lows was the best they could come up with? Maybe if these were mids they would look slightly better, but even then they’re just too plain.

Shoe Store Does Jordan Giveaway, Immediately Shuts Down Resellers

City Gear is giving away a pair of Air Jordan 6 Lows through their social media accounts right now (it’s pretty obvious what the shoe is).

Of course not all reselling is done on Twitter (there are several other ways to flip shoes), but good on City Gear to make sure the shoes lands on the feet of someone who would truly appreciate the kicks.
