Bright Hues Appear On This GS Air Jordan 6

Air Jordan 6 1 Air Jordan 6 2 Air Jordan 6 3 Air Jordan 6 4 Air Jordan 6 5 Air Jordan 6 6

Releasing next week will be this grade-school exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 6.

We haven’t seen an Air Jordan 6 release in 2016 so this bright colorway will be getting the party started. Looking at this Air Jordan 6 we can see that Jordan Brand decided to go with a neutral upper (white) and let all the accents colors do all the work as Ghost Green, Hasta and Bright Mango land on the tongue, midsole, heel tab, and branding.

Releasing on April 30th for a retail price of $140, will any ladies (or guys) be scooping up this colorway of the Air Jordan 6? Let us know in the comment below.

Jordan Brand will be closing out the month of April with a brand new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 High OG.

Dressed in a Light Crimson leather all throughout the upper, this Air Jordan 1 is contrasted by Midnight Navy detailing on the Swoosh, ankle, tongue, laces, inner liner, and outsole. Finishing things off is a University Blue on the Nike Air branding on the tongue. This colorway of the Air Jordan 1 is inspired by Michael Jordan?s visit to The Late Show With David Letterman fresh off his 63-point playoff performance against the Boston Celtics.

Releasing on April 30th for a retail price of $160, is the Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman a cop or a pass for you? Make sure you bookmark our Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman launch page for additional images and updates regarding this upcoming release.

Author’s Take

When I first saw pictures of this Air Jordan 1 I didn?t like it at all. Now that I see better pictures it’s actually not that bad at all. The only thing I don?t like is the University Blue hits on the tongue.

Jordan Brand Flips A Legendary Colorway On The Air Jordan 12

It appears that the Air Jordan 12 has inadvertently dominated 2016 with a slew of OG and Retro colorways that have become the hottest ticket in sneakers. Later this year (or July to be exact), Jordan Brand will unleash a classic mix of red, white, and black in a new way on the twelfth Air Jordan shoe, seen here in detail for the first time. It takes on a “reverse” look of the original Varsity Red, with solid-white “Wings” at the midfoot. There’s still a lot in store with the Air Jordan 12 before these arrive, because later in May we have the “Flu Game” 12s as well as the “UNC” pair in June in the works. Get another look ahead, and stay tuned for a firm release date.

Not sure if I like the Cherry 12s or this colorway better. I feel like I need one of these two pairs in my collection.

Another Look At The Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate Olympic

After giving you a new look at the back of this sneaker earlier today, we now give you a frontal view of the upcoming Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate Olympic.

Said to be Tinker Hatfield’s alternate design from when he created the original Air Jordan 7 Olympic back in 1992, this Air Jordan 7 adds some more color in comparison to the OG Olympic. As you can see this pair has a lot more blue in comparison to the original Olympic colorway. Touches of red can also be seen on the tongue and midsole.

What are your thoughts on this upgraded colorway of the Air Jordan 7? Do you plan on picking up a pair when they drop on August 16th? Make sure you bookmark our Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate Olympic launch page to stay updated with this release.

Author’s Take

I actually like this Alternate version better than the original Olympic colorway. I like the blue color blocking on the side panels and I wish they would have made the to blue as well. Reminds me of the Air Jordan 6 Olympic.

With the Oklahoma City Thunder currently leading (2-1), in a best-of-seven series against the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the NBA postseason, OKC’s star guard, Russell Westbrook has been seen sporting exclusive variations of the Air Jordan 30.

A notable JB advocate, two pairs are highlighted, particularly in the “Away” OKC colors with predominantly photo blue and orange accents with the netted motif on its heel.

The other model flaunts a pristine makeup in all-white, alongside silver detailing. Additionally, the model flaunts the word “Dangeruss” on the insoles as a reflection of his personality on the court.

Unfortunately, these colorways won’t be available to the public. Check them out on court as the Thunder pursue an NBA Championship.


Author’s Take

I’ve shared before that I’m a fan of the model’s simple makeup. Out of the two, I’d have to side with the white pair just because it’s more versatile and stylish.

This Years Air Jordan 7 Olympic Release Was Tinker Hatfields Alternate Design From 1992


Did you know that Tinker Hatfield designed multiple variations of the Air Jordan 7 Olympic for Michael Jordan’s trip to Barcelona in 1992? This summer, Jordan Brand is celebrating the near quarter-century anniversary of the Dream Team as USA Basketball readies for the Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro by releasing the rare Air Jordan 7 Olympic Alternate pair. The feature that stands out the most has to be the unique Air Jordan 7 heel construction featuring an American flag with Michael Jordan’s Olympic number 9 placed prominently off-center. The heel tabs even alternate between Fire Red and Deep Royal Blue for a unique twist. The Olympic Alternate Jordan 7s will release on August 16th for $190 USD.

I like the simplicity of the silhouette?s profile. In this colorway, it?s solid, but I would have preferred it more without the touches of Blue.

I like the use of two different leathers, but when it comes down to it, it?s an all-black shoe on a model I?m not too fond of. It?s a pass for me.
