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.

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.

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.

Making its debut this Summer will be a brand new colorway of the Air Jordan 7 that serves as a spin-off on the classic Olympic colorway.

Known as the Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate, this colorway of Michael Jordan’s 7th signature shoe comes in an Olympic theme and utilizes white, red, blue and gold. White covers the majority of the upper on this AJ 7 while blue lands on the quarter panels, ankle, one inner bootie, and parts of the tongue and outsole. Red accents can then be seen on the gradient midsole, the mountain peaks on the midsole, and on the other inner bootie. Last but not least we have hits of gold landing on the Jumpman and Jordan branding on the ankle and tongue as well as on the aglets.

Arriving at retailers on August 16th for a retail price of $190, will you celebrate the Olympics in style this Summer? Don’t forget to bookmark our Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate launch page to keep up with the latest images, news and other updates regarding 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 just wish they would have made the toe blue as well. Reminds me of the Air Jordan 6 Olympic.

The Air Jordan 1 Banned is making a comeback in 2016. Aside from sporting the dope and beloved black and red motif, the theme behind the shoe is just as amazing. One look at the shoe and it appears to be an Air Jordan 1 in the Bred colorway, it’s only when you take a look at the heel of the shoe that you will find the major difference between the two.

The Air Jordan 1 comes in the timeless black and red leather upper. This banned edition of the Air Jordan 1 references to the time ex-NBA commissioner, David Stern, forbid Jordan from wearing the sneakers due to the bold palette the high-tops came in. The major feature on shoe the lies in the ‘X’ branding found on the heel to represent the ‘banned theme of the shoe. There is also a famous quote from the JB commercial found on the insole of the shoes as well as the date that the sneakers were banned placed on the lining of the shoes.

Juan Carrillo – News: Looking forward to this release. Dope theme on a dope sneaker. Nothing else needs to be said. Jordan Brand, please be sure to make a lot of these. Thanks.

The Jordan Horizon is back in a classic “Bred” redux. Any Chicago-theme is always welcomed atop a Jordan silhouette, even the ones that Mike didn’t wear on-court. The Jordan Horizon extended the success of the Jordan Future by swapping in an Air Jordan 13 outsole unit, and here the entire look benefits from a semi-translucent Gym Red bottom. The mesh upper takes a different approach this time around, as interwoven strands of Black, Wolf Grey, and Gym Red all create added speckling for a unique look. Get with us after the break for a better view of the latest Jumpman lifestyle release and know that select shops like Rock City Kicks are stocking the pair today for $150 USD.

Aside from being reminiscent of the OVO collab, I?m all for tonal looks and this pair is certainly versatile and perfect for everyday wear. I?m a New Yorker too, so yeah, I?m biased.

Sporting a simplistic palette overall, wolf grey dominates the majority of its leather upper, tongue and laces, while pristine white converges along its forefoot and midsole unit. Pops of blue are applied on the rear, lining of its pull tabs and miniature branded side panels to nicely complement the theme, as metallic silver eyelets offer a subtle shimmering finish.

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. It?ll still sell well though.

I really like this pair in varsity red only, but this pair is alright. The color combo is great and it should still garner some attention.

Michael Jordan’s 6 Championship rings serve as a constant reminder for those current players trying to usurp his label as the greatest basketball player of all time. Not even Kobe Bryant could tie the tally or awe that came with a signature sneaker release, but Nike Basketball’s Kobe imprint tried its hardest to replicate some of the success found in no.23’s lineage. Jordan Brand continues to pay homage to Mike’s on-court success with the Air Jordan 8 Champagne and Air Jordan 8 Cigar releases headed to retailers on June 25th for $250 each. The premium pairs utilize different premium accents from gold patent leather or black confetti print to nod at the celebratory bottle popping and cigar smoking after MJ’s third straight championship in 1993 to clinch his first three-peat. Be sure to head over to our Jordan release dates page for a better look at the Jumpman’s latest scheduled slate and let us know what you think of this year’s Cigar & Champagne Collection by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

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.

Following luxurious croc iterations, the Air Jordan Horizon is introduced in another colorway for the season, this time utilizing popular shades.

Essentially a hybrid lifestyle silhouette which is reminiscent of the classic AJ 13, the sneaker is defined by its one-piece woven upper. Colored in black and red, the vibrant hue is continued on to its outsole, while a clean white midsole unit finishes off the profile.

Additional details include leather lining for premium flair and matching black laces. Priced at $150, you can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike accounts now.

I’m not a fan of hybrid models much. This design is alright, but it’s more appealing because of the classic colorway. Still a pass for me though.

In late 2015 we were hit with the news that the Air Jordan 1 High OG Banned was going to be making a return in 2016.

Today we get a look at what is believed to be a first leaked image of the Air Jordan 1 that features a red and black leather upper with a contrasting white midsole and a red outsole. As you can see the sneaker does come with the OG Nike Air branding on the tongue but from this lone image it’s pretty hard to tell if the “X” has been placed on the heel like it was on the 2011 Banned release. Whether this will be known as the Banned or Bred colorway is still unclear, but we’ll keep you updated here at Kicks On Fire.

This Air Jordan 1 is scheduled to release during Labor Day Weekend on September 3rd for $160. Make sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 1 High OG Banned launch page to stay updated with the latest images, release information and other important updates.

Whether this is the Banned or Bred release doesn’t matter too much to me. I would just love to add a pair to my collection because I’ve always wanted this colorway of the Air Jordan 1.

The gold heel counter on the white pair is a nice detail that represents the Larry O’Brien trophy. I’m not a fan of the Air Jordan 8 so I don’t anticipate picking up either pair from this pack.
