One of the more popular colorways from MJ’s historic lineage, the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game is scheduled to make its arrival once again at the end of this month.

Last seen in 2009, this forthcoming variation of the silhouette will consist of a remastered edition of its original style from 1997, unlike the aforementioned pair. Comprised of a premium tumbled leather composition, red is prominent throughout the sole, along the forefoot, rear portion and touches throughout the tongue. Capping off the simple and favorable “BRED” colorway is evidenced with tonal black dominating the rest of upper, tongue, inner lining and laces.

Retailing for $190, you purchase this highly-anticipated pair at select Nike and JB stockists, May 28th.

The Jordan Flow is the latest cross trainer coming out of Jordan Brand. One of its first inaugural colorways is inspired by none other than the Air Jordan 3 Black Cement. Let’s take another look at the readily available shoe.

The trainer comes dressed in a Black, White, Wolf Grey and Gym Red color scheme. The base of the shoe comes in a black colorway accompanied by the famous elephant print placed on the paneling overlays on the lateral side of the shoes. The tonal look of the shoe is contrasted by the hits of white and red placed throughout the shoe. Check out the images above and pick up your very own pair at select retailers such as Rock City Kicks today. Side note, they?re currently on-sale from $125 USD to $100 at Rock City Kicks

I tend to stay away from Jordan Brand Cross Trainers, but the retro-inspired look on this pair caught my attention. I?d like to see they feel and look on feet, but for $125, they?re not too bad.

Author’s Take

For starters I’m not really a fan of the original Air Jordan 9 to begin with so the fact this is a low-top doesn’t help. This colorway is also just way too bright. Easy pass for me.

More details regarding Michael Jordan’s original signing with Nike continue to surface thanks to a never-ending debate as to who is actually responsible for pairing MJ with the Swoosh. Who deserves the most credit? Is it Sonny Vaccaro, who is trying to take the most credit? Is it David Falk, who represented MJ in contract and marketing negotiations? Is it George Raveling, who was by MJ’s side during the ’84 Olympics, and urged him ‘You gotta go Nike’? The bickering debate won’t seem to end and ESPN‘s Darren Rovell just reported on David Falk’s rebuttals to Vaccaros claims. Within all the back-and-forth, we are reminded of some of the more forgotten details regarding Jordan’s “sneaker free agency” back in 1984.

The Nike Kobe 11 “Muse” pack continues with the colorway designed by Tinker Hatfield. If you haven’t already learned or couldn’t tell by the colorway, it is inspired by Kobe Bryant’s favorite Air Jordan model, the Air Jordan 3. Also perhaps Tinker’s most important Air Jordan design since it was his very first and a shoe that helped convince Jordan to stay with Nike, the Air Jordan 3 is reflected on the Kobe 11 with this interpretation of the iconic “Black/Cement” colorway, complete with grey leather tongues and a Nike logo on the right heel (but why not “Nike Air” though?). Reacquaint yourself with the colorway that will be a must-have for many collectors, and find them at select Nike Basketball retailers beginning tomorrow, May 5th.

Without a doubt, the Air Jordan 12 Flu Game is going to be one of the most highly coveted Air Jordan releases of 2016. The Air Jordan 12 is getting a lot of love this year, and we’re all pretty stoked that Jordan Brand decided to make the Flu Game colorway one of the many retro 12 releases of the year.

The new on-feet image shows the Air Jordan 12 coming in a Black and Red colorway all done in a leather construction. The majority of the shoe comes in Black, while the Red acts as the contrasting colorway placed on the mudguard on the lateral side, as well as on most of the sole unit. Pretty simple in color scheme, yet it’s still one of the most iconic colorways ever made on the 12s. Set to release March 28th for $190, how many of you are trying to double up? Need more images and info on this upcoming release? Stay up to date by visiting our Air Jordan 12 Flu Game hub page.

The more I see it, the more I like it. Never been too big on 12s, but some of this year’s releases is really making me look at the Air Jordan 12 in a different light.

While a lot of people who wear adult sizes were going crazy over the Air Jordan 12 GS that came in the Pink colorway earlier this year, I’m truly admiring the Air Jordan 6 GS Cool Grey set to release later on this month.

Unfortunately, I wear a size 10 in mens. I believe the biggest GS sizes go up to are a size 9 or 9.5. That means that once these drop I’m going to have to admire them from afar. The versatile looking Air Jordan 6 comes dressed in a beautiful Black tumbled leather overlay sitting on top of the Grey nubuck underlay. The clean looking upper sits on of a Black and Grey midsole and a icy outsole to complete the sleek overall look of the shoe. Nothing flashy or out of the ordinary, just a good looking shoe with lots versatility to it. Set to release on Saturday, May 21st for $140, are all you GS-footers looking to pick up a pair?

If you fit into a pair, I advise you, don’t sleep on these! Although I’ve yet to see them in person, I know this are going to be amazing!

Alongside the AJ 10 Rio and AJ 10 GS Heiress, this latest take on the Air Jordan 9 Low will make its official debut this weekend as well.

Essentially dressed by the defining hue across its smooth leather upper, the mudguard is comprised with a slight texture to differentiate its build slightly. To contrast the eye-catching tone perfectly, tonal black adorns the tongue, laces, eyelets and portions of the rear which features notable branding.

Further detailed with more subtle black speckling on the sole unit and miniature Jumpman branding on the heel, an additional hint of ghost green is also applied on the circular patch across its heel tab to finish it off.

Retailing for $170, you can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike accounts on Saturday, May 7th.

I prefer it in its original cut, but this colorway is pretty solid in this profile as well. I?m biased towards the palette in general. I don?t think it?ll sell out though.

While the latest offerings of the Air Jordan 10 is focused on the standout “City” pack, which includes cities such as NYC, Rio, Charlotte and others, this GS-rendition of the silhouette is also scheduled to drop this season.

Flaunting a predominantly monochromatic palette, pure platinum consists as the majority tone across its smoother leather upper and midsole unit, while tonal black converges on the sole unit, tongue, laces, eyelets and along its collar section.

Punctuating the subdued makeup consists of the defining hue, which is prominent on the inner lining and outsole. Retailing for $140, you can find this latest pair at select Nike and JB accounts 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.

We’ve seen too many cases of professional athletes squandering their multi-million dollar contracts not long after retirement. There’s even a great ESPN 30 for 30 documentary about how sports stars lose what seems like an unlimited bank account, but thanks to financial advisors and simply learning from the mistakes of others, pro athletes today are much more prudent with their money. Still, broke athletes aren’t a thing of the a past, and apparently one reason, according to ESPN, why pro athletes drain their accounts too quickly is that they buy too many Jordans. That’s right – ESPN thinks that one reason why players go broke is the massive collections of shoes that sit deadstock or collecting dust after one wear. It’s far down their list of items that contribute to athletes losing it all, but what do you think? Are Jordans, and sneakers in general, a cause for their financial strains?

Michael Jordan reached the 30,000 point plateau against the team that he won 6 championships for, joining the ranks of Kareem, Wilt, and Malone as then the only four players to ever tally that many points in a career. Now the Air Jordan 17+ “Bulls” celebrates the accomplishment by paying tribute to not only the team that Mike reached the historic feat against, but also pays homage to the 29,277 points MJ scored wearing Chicago colors over 13 seasons. This Air Jordan 17+ utilizes a premium crocodile leather on the heel with metallic Gym Red accents throughout the black base and will release on May 29th for $250 USD. The Air Jordan 17 was the silhouette that MJ wore during the historic occurrence, and with the retro of the “Copper” pair, this fresh Bred look should fall right in line during the Jumpman’s Spring/Summer 2016 release slate. Continue onward for a better view of the latest Jumpman retro and know that you can find more of the latest release dates right here on Sneaker News.

A standout pair from JB’s upcoming “Heiress” pack for S/S 2016, consists of this latest take on the Air Jordan 10.

Notably a GS-exclusive only, the model exudes lifestyle flair with its predominantly pearl-like white colorway. Prominent throughout its textured leather upper, midsole, eyelets, inner lining and outlining of the outsole, the addition of tonal black throughout the remainder of its composition, finishes off the simple two-tone design.

Further with red insoles, embossed branding on the tongue tab and pull tabs for easy accessibility, you can purchase this women’s iteration of the silhouette at select Nike and JB stockists on May 7th for $150.

Author’s Take

Out of all the AJ 10s coming out this year, this pair is my favorite and it?s a women?s style. If my size will be available, I?d purchase, but this is one of the best iterations so far this year. I?m just biased towards the palette.

Following the release of the NYC pair and the upcoming Rio edition this weekend, another look at this upcoming Chicago Flag iteration of the Air Jordan 10, from the brand’s standout “city” pack is provided.

Simply a style that commemorates the city in which MJ has made a positive impact during his illustrious career, the sneaker’s distinctive colorway essentially corresponds to the Bulls. White is predominant across its tumbled and leather upper, as vibrant accents of red are prominent on the tongue, laces, eye stays and sole unit.

Further detailed with a black inner lining, the sneaker receives more vivid flair with the addition of university blue hits implemented along the eyelets and outsole. A ?CHI? embroidery on the collar finishes it all off to coordinate with its respective theme.

Retailing for $190, fans can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike accounts on Saturday, May 14th.

The theme is a cool gesture. I?m a fan of the model, but I?m not really inclined towards the colorway. Minus the blue accents and I?m all for it.

Another rendition of the Air Jordan 17 will be introduced in May, as the model essentially incorporates a Chicago Bulls-inspired colorway.

Also suggested to pay tribute to MJ achieving his 30,000th point, while playing as a Wizard against his former team on January 4, 2002, the model incorporates a predominantly black hue across its premium leather upper. The defining theme is evident with bold red accents gracing the lace lock, eyelets and luxurious croc-skin overlay adorning the heel.

All adhered atop a crisp, white outsole unit, you can expect to find this pair at select JB and Nike accounts on May 29th for a price tag of $250.
