The Air Jordan 12 has been on fire so far in 2016 with lots of more colorways still waiting to be released throughout the year. Arguably the most popular colorway that has dropped so far has been the French Blue pair.

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin decided to give his pair a unique look. Sneaker customizer Custom Cleats Inc. decided to convert the basketball shoe into a baseball cleat. As you can see in the image above the shoe’s upper was untouched with the only change coming on the outsoles.

Last month we began getting early reports that the white colorway of the Air Jordan 12 OVO is currently expected to release on July 30th. While that date may not be confirmed just yet, it gives us a pretty good idea of when we could see the sneaker arrive at retailers.

Today we show you new images of the highly sought after colorway of the Air Jordan 12 that was designed in collaboration with Drake. The Air Jordan 12 OVO White features a white tumbled leather upper with some luxurious stingray leather being placed on the mudguard. Gold detailing lands on the upper eyelets, tongue and side panel branding, and outsole.

I like the Air Jordan 12 OVO much more than the Air Jordan 10 OVO. However I think I prefer the black colorway over the white pair, I’m not sure yet.

I like the Olympic theme on this Air Jordan 5. I just wish the gold on the tongue wasn?t metallic/shiny. This is easily the best new colorway of the Air Jordan 5 I?ve seen in a while.

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.

Clearly a pair that should definitely garner a lot of attention. It?s an automatic purchase for me. I?ve never owned the previous rendition.

The post Get Ready For This Classic Air Jordan 5 appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The release of the Air Jordan 12 GS University Blue (shameless plug: check out our launch page for all the latest information) comes with a lot of emotional baggage. On one side, it’s great that Jordan Brand is releasing genuine heat exclusively in kid’s and women’s sizes so that they have something to brag about. On the other side, there’s a lot of sad dudes out there who have been waiting on a retro of this colorway for a long time since they first debuted during the 2003-04 NBA season on the feet of Carmelo Anthony. And then there’s my side, a fan of the Air Jordan 12 and the University Blue color but wouldn’t really consider himself a ‘Melo guy (love the M9s though).

As the original Jordan Brand “student”, Anthony has been fortunate enough to not only receive a signature shoe but also a collection of Air Jordan player exclusives that would make any Jordan stan tear up. Early on in his career, he rocked mostly Denver Nuggets-themed Jordans like the Air Jordan 2 and Air Jordan 20, but the ones that always caught my eyes were his Air Jordan 12s. Since the 12s are my second favorite pair of Js, I was pumped to hear that we would get a retail release of the same pairs – sans any Nuggets gold – he wore on the court. Sadly, this was during my college years so even if I did want a pair, I wasn’t always in a position to afford them. Education and beer money got in the way.

So I’ve waited for another shot at 12s in University Blue ever since and in that time, we’ve seen other University Blue colorways (I also missed out on the Black Nubuck 12s) pale imitators (I despise the Gamma Blue 12s) and numerous ‘Melo Air Jordan 12 player exclusives pop up either through the man himself or on sneaker blogs and eBay. In this edition of Sneaker Grails, here’s a look back at a handful of ‘Melo PEs that would be nice to own.

The next grade school variation of the Air Jordan 12 is set to debut very soon, as more detailed imagery of the silhouette is presented.

Composed of pristine white leather across its upper, the defining hues is prominent on outsole, rear section, inner lining, pull tabs, outsole and branding on the tongue to punctuate its simplistic two-tone color scheme.

Further detailed with metallic gold eyelets for more vibrancy and lavish flair, the sneaker finished off with matching white laces. Other notable design elements include miniature branded panels on the sides, while the texture on the leather mudguard is a bit more cohesive, compared to the majority of its upper component. In addition, more branding is prominent on the heel.

Retailing for a price tag of $140, you can find the model at select JB and Nike stockists on Saturday, May 21st.

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.

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.

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.

Many fans of the Air Jordan 12 were excited to see that the “Melo” colorway was returning. But it turns out that there’s a catch. The white and light blue colorway that originally released in 2004 and was worn by Carmelo Anthony in personalized PE editions will only be returning in Gradeschool Girls sizing. All the large-footed collectors that were expecting to be able to grab a fresh pair are unfortunately left out in the cold, but they’ll be a special treat indeed for the young ladies this weekend when they hit select Jordan Brand retailers like Sneaker Politics.
