I?m generally a fan of the silhouette. I like the colorway overall but mostly how the upper was kept all-white. This is a nice offering for the young ones.

JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 1 JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 2 JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 3 JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 4 JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 5 JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 6 JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 7 JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 8

Jimmy Butler and the Chicago Bulls missed the postseason this year for the first time since 2007-08 as their season was filled with injuries and inconsistent play.

However one of their bright spots was the play of Jimmy Butler who was clearly the best player all season when he was on the court. Since Butler’s season came to an early end this year he recently took the time to style one of Jordan Brand‘s newest lifestyle silhouettes, the Jordan Reveal. Following in the footsteps of the Jordan Eclipse, this new high-top silhouette features a mesh upper with leather detailing on the tongue and heel for that premium look.

Take a look at both the Black colorway (modeled by Jimmy Butler) and the Vachetta Tan pair and pick them up both right now directly from nike.com if you’re liking what you see.

JBF Customs Creates An Air Jordan 4 Using Python And Eel

JBF Customs Air Jordan 4 1 JBF Customs Air Jordan 4 2 JBF Customs Air Jordan 4 3 JBF Customs Air Jordan 4 4 JBF Customs Air Jordan 4 5

Ever since JBF Customs designed his own silhouettes he rarely does custom jobs using exotic materials like he did back in the day. But every once in a while the talented sneaker customizer comes out of retirement and he hits us with a gem.

JBF did just that with this new Air Jordan 4 custom that you see above. This Air Jordan 4 is covered in genuine red python throughout the majority of the upper with black eel on the tongue and on the side panels to replace the traditional netting. Additional black hits appear on the midsole, laces, wing tabs, inner liner and heel tab. This pair is actually up for grabs now in a size 13 for $1,500. Only one pair was created so don’t expect these to last too long.

via: JBF Customs


Author’s Take

The red python upper looks pretty sick but the eel looks kind of weird in my opinion. I would have just preferred the original black mesh netting instead.
