If you’re not considering the Nike Air Foamposite Pro University Red this weekend, then maybe you have your sights on this latest colorway of the Air Jordan 9 Low.

Sporting a timeless palette of black and white, the stealthy tone essentially covers the model’s upper, as well as along its midsole unit. The upper composition flaunts a mixed texture build with smooth leather utilized across the top and a snakeskin-like detail encompassing the mudguard. Offset by the pristine hue on the outsole, the sneaker is additionally pronounced with the application of red adorning the inner lining, tongue tab and rear section via branding with a circular patch and the number 23 respectively.

Also, the a miniature variation of the Jumpman logo is placed on the heel, while the bottom bears a larger version. Finally, the outsole is detailed with intricate grooves that reveal a unique molded graphic to round out its details, while matching laces finishes it off.

Priced at $170, you can purchase it at JB and Nike stores tomorrow, April 16th.

Author’s Take

I usually don?t like this model in this cut, but it?s pretty appealing in this colorway. I wouldn?t mind purchasing a pair if it was at a lower price point. It?s still a solid offering though.

Why debate if the Yeezy truly jumped over the Jumpman when you can have a pair that has a little bit of both? Jordan Brand has unofficially referenced Yeezy colorways in the past, most notably on the Jordan Son of Mars featuring the ominous Blink aesthetic. Now the Pure Platinum look returns with an Air Jordan 1 High Nouveau release. The premium detailing sees a synthetic snakeskin textile and drop-in canvas Swoosh detailing while a Bright Crimson lining will immediately bring Yeezy nostalgia. If you’re a fan of this Air Jordan 1, you can pick up this pair today via Oneness for $150 USD.

Author’s Take

My favorite sneaker out of this entire Jordan Brand Classic collection would have to be the Air Jordan XXX. The cosmo print on the upper gives the shoe a good look.

With the San Antonio Spurs set for Playoff contention once again, Jordan Brand advocate, Kawhi Leonard, is slated to receive a signature range of apparel.

Comprised of graphic-printed t-shirts, sweatshirts and fitted caps, the pieces are emblazoned with a motif of the All-Star forward, as well as his signature hand logo which essentially symbolizes the player’s initials respectively.

Suitably shaded in the San Antonio Spurs’ recognizable monochromatic palette, look out for the entire range of items to drop at JB accounts very soon.

For those of you that were lucky enough to pick up the Air Jordan 12 Wings through the Nike SNKRS app, you should have hopefully received you pair by now. Like most people, I was left empty-handed but just like every other release that I miss out on I’m over it now.

As soon as people started getting their pairs one of the first things they were checking was what number pair they received. The most coveted pairs are number 1, 23, and 12,000, for obvious reasons. The person who ended up with number 12,000 /12,000 has now listed them up on eBay. They’re a size 10.5 and are currently listed for at a buy it now price of $4,500. Do you agree that certain numbers are worth more than others or is every pair the same to you?

Author’s Take

With such a limited shoe like this I don’t think it should really matter what “number” pair you get. I would have been happy with just being able to get a pair in my size. I wonder if someone will actually pay the $4,500 that this guy is asking for though.

Following the release of the Air Jordan 4 Premium Black, the superior rendition of the silhouette is set to be offered in Obsidian next.

While the aforementioned pair received pony hair detailing, this particular variation flaunts a slightly more luxurious profile with quilted leather utilized across its entire upper, in addition to shimmering copper accents located on the studded heel tab, eye stays and custom hang tag.

Finished off with a clean white air bubble enhanced sole unit, you can expect to find this pair at select JB and Nike accounts sometime later this Fall 2016 for a retail price tag of $400.

Stay tuned in to KicksOnFire for further updates.

Author’s Take

I like this pair a bit more than the recent release due to the overall makeup and colorway. I like the utilization of various leather detailing and its tonal upper. I’m just against that price tag.

A new colorway of the Jordan Reveal Premium just dropped and this one opts to take the all-black route. The latest lifestyle Jordan Brand sneaker comes dressed in an upper utilizing leather hits on the heel and tongue, while keeping a bit of a casual look intact by using mesh construction for the rest of the upper. Branding appears on the side of the heel, as well as on the tongue. Black laces, eyelets and lining complete the tonal look up top, while a white outsole attempts to provide minimal contrast. If you’re looking to get a pair you can now do so at select retailers for $130. Cop or not?

Author’s Take

In my opinion, if this was truly a premium version of the shoe I would have changed the mesh construction of the upper to another material. More leather, perhaps suede, but not mesh. Mesh doesn’t really scream “premium” in my eyes.

Revealed by sneaker retail chain, Finish Line, the model essentially sports a stealthy all-black profile and comprised of premium leather. Notable contrasting elements are evidenced by a golden “NYC” embroidery at the collar, pull tabs, Jumpman branding on the outsole and subtle speckling on its sole unit.

Author’s Take

It’s 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 so I guess I’m biased.

The stars were all out at Staples Center last night to witness Kobe Bryant’s final NBA game. If you kept your eyes peeled, there’s a good chance you caught a glimpse of Jay-Z sitting courtside. What you may have overlooked are the shoes he was wearing, and no he didn’t bring back the S.Carters.

Jay-Z stunted on all of us by bringing out the Air Jordan 8 Kobe for this special night. It’s safe to say that the speculated Air Jordan Kobe Pack is not going to release to the general public, so in order to get your hands on a pair you’ve got to have some pretty good connections. It’s pretty obvious that Jay-Z knows a couple of people. Which pair from the Air Jordan Kobe pack do you prefer, 3s or 8s?

The shoes look great in tonal finishes and it’s for a good cause. You can’t complain about that, but hopefully a general release will be available..maybe not.

The Air Jordan 12 “Wings” will be one of the most sought after pairs on the resale market for some time, but for those of you who were able to grab one of the only 12,000 pairs that released at retail, you have another reason to feel good about your purchase. Jordan Brand recently relaunched their WINGS Initiative with all proceeds from the Air Jordan 12 “Wings” going toward charitable contributions that prioritize youth education around the world. Jordan Brand understands Mike’s impact on a younger audience and pushes forward the belief that MJ wouldn’t be where he is today if it weren’t for a dedication to learning in the classroom with the same work ethic that willed him to become the greatest basketball player ever.

?The WINGS program continues to focus on education and empowering kids around the world,” Jordan Brand President Larry Miller said. ?The funds raised by the sale of the Air Jordan 12 ?Wings? will allow us to continue this mission and fund programs that encourage kids to reach their greatness.?

Check out a detailed on-feet look at the Jordan 12 Wings below.
