Jordan Brand Revives The Green Glow Look On The Air Jordan 6 Retro

Remember the popular “Green Glow” of the Air Jordan 4? Well, it’s apparently back for this new look on the Air Jordan 6. But there’s a catch: they’re releasing in Grade School girls sizing only. That means only the young ladies will get to take advantage of the return of the grey and glowing mint green look. Would any of you larger-footed Air Jordan fans like to see these drop in men’s sizing? Those that can fit into a pair can find them at select Jordan retailers like Oneness beginning April 30th.

The Air Jordan 12 GS University Blue Is Proof That Life Isnt Always Fair (Video)

The Air Jordan 12 GS University Blue is a surefire contender for best retro of 2016. With a beautiful tumbled leather upper, gold accents and baby blue highlighting the iconic silhouette, this is the perfect summertime shoe. It’s a super-clean pair that goes with just about any outfit, especially one that is predominantly white. Combine that with the North Carolina connection and you’ve got a classic on your hands. The only problem is that most of the hands that will be copping a pair will be of the grade school and women’s variety.

That’s right, fellas, we will be taking a huge L for this release much like the Air Jordan 12 GS Dynamic Pink because these will not be dropping in adult sizes. That doesn’t mean it won’t stop us from seeing grown men trying to desperately fit into the biggest size possible, but for those of us that won’t even bother trying, it’s better to accept it now and not be one of those bitter sneakerheads that already has everything and doesn’t want others to eat.

For more information on this upcoming release, be sure to bookmark our Air Jordan 12 University Blue launch page for all the news, images, videos and much more.

Author’s Take

Looks a lot like the Air Jordan 10 OVO just without the stingray detailing. Will that be the only reason that these sit on shelves and the OVOs didn’t? This colorway is too plain for me so I won?t be picking up a pair.

Air Jordan 6 GS Cool Grey Releases In May

The summer begins with two new looks for the classic Air Jordan model for girls, featuring similar looks in “Ghost Green” and “Green Glow” with predominantly grey uppers, and now it looks like a boy’s GS version will be dropping in May to follow up the versions for the young ladies. Also in grey, the boys’ colorway features a mix of black and Cool Grey with an icy sole for a more neutral look than the two green-accented girls’ colorways.

I like this silhouette a lot. This colorway is pretty solid but I’m not too keen on it. It’s a nice offering for the little ones.

The Air Jordan 10 NYC Has Two Different Release Dates

As if there weren’t already enough Air Jordan retro release dates to keep track of, things just got a bit more complicated for the drop of the anticipated Air Jordan 10 “NYC”. The black and gold colorway for New York that many are considering the best look of the all-new Air Jordan 10 City Series will drop at Jordan Brand retailers on April 27th, but then be followed by a release on the Nike SNKRS app three days later on April 30th at 10 AM EST. It’s one more release date to keep track of, but it also means that means you’ll have two chances to grab the Air Jordan 10 NYC.

Check Out This Unreleased Air Jordan 1 Made For Michael Jordan

At first glance you might think these are the “Perfect” Air Jordan 1 created for TEDxPortland back in 2014. But look closer, and you’ll see there’s no “Perfect” detailing. Why not? Because these were actually created just for Micheal Jordan himself. The shoe features the same full grain leather upper in black with an icy sole and complete with #23 lace dubrés, this sample is definitely not something you’re going to see everyday.

Following its official reveal, even more images of this upcoming Air Jordan 1 High are provided, as the model is arriving at retailers in just a few more days.

Additionally, the collar section and Swoosh are detailed with a more polished look to provide more flair. Find the sneaker at select JB and Nike accounts on April 30th for $160.

Author’s Take

The silhouette is a clear classic so it?s something I?ll never get tired off. I wasn?t into the colorway at first, but these new images and the 4K video is making me re-think my decision.

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.

Travis Scott Already Has The Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red

Proving that fact is Travis $cott, who is already laced up with the upcoming Air Jordan 11 Low “Varsity Red”, which doesn’t even have a release date yet. What we do know is that they look pretty good on-foot, as you can see here, and that they’ll be releasing sometime this summer for the first time since they debuted in 2001.

Alongside the previously showcased Air Jordan 30 player exclusive pairs that Russell Westbrook has worn during the Playoffs, the star Oklahoma City Thunder guard was seen wearing another unique variation of the silhouette during practice yesterday.

This time utilizing the vibrant cosmos print designed by Tinker Hatfield and Mark Smith, this rendition however, is rendered in orange and black with photo blue and white accents. A general release is not expected, although you can see the pair in action tonight during Game 5 versus the Dallas Mavericks.

Author’s Take

I’m a fan of the model and this finish is pretty cool. I’m a fan of the print as well. I hope it comes out in other colorways.

The Latest Images Of The Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate

AIR JORDAN 7 TINKER ALTERNATE 1 AIR JORDAN 7 TINKER ALTERNATE 2 AIR JORDAN 7 TINKER ALTERNATE 3 AIR JORDAN 7 TINKER ALTERNATE 4

Said to be an alternate version of the classic Air Jordan 7 Olympic, Jordan Brand has decided to show and release to the world a Tinker Hatfield Air Jordan 7 creation that never released to the public. Today we get the latest images of the Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate.

The shoe’s release will coincide with the 2016 Olympics, which will definitely help the shoe garner more attention. This alternate version of the Air Jordan 7 Olympic comes dressed in an upper consisting of White, Metallic Gold Coin, Deep Royal Blue, Fire Red and Lite Iron Ore. Put all those colors together and you got a USA inspired version of the Jordan 7. A White leather upper is paired up with the Deep Royal Blue suede underlays. Adding some color to the shoe are the Gold and Red accents found in areas such as the branding, sole unit and lace tips. Unique features on the shoe include the use of mismatched heel pull tabs, lining and tongue patterns in which the right pair comes with blue accents and the left pair comes in red accents. A tri-colored speckled midsole site underneath the upper. Lastly, the number 9 that overlays an American flag placed on the heel is a nod to Michael Jordan?s Olympic number. Is this better than the Air Jordan 7 Olympic? Set to drop August 16th for $190, make sure you check out our Air Jordan 7 Tinker Alternate hub page to catch up on all the latest news and information regarding this future Jordan Brand release.

Done up in suede and nubuck, the tonal look of the shoe is given some pop by adding the hits of Green Glow in strategically placed areas such as the midsole, lace lock, heel pull tab, outsole and insole. The Jumpman on the heel comes in tonal fashion, while the laces and tongue also come in Dark Grey. Releasing on April 30th for $140, are you GS-footers excited about this release?

Author?s Take

Even if these were to release in adult sizes, I still don’t think I’d want to pick up a pair. Ever since Jordan brand started to release sneakers with Green Glow on them, I never really wanted a pair. Yeah. it has a pop to them, but they’re just not really my style when it comes to Jordans.

More Images Of The Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles

AIR JORDAN 10 LA 1 AIR JORDAN 10 LA 2 AIR JORDAN 10 LA 3 AIR JORDAN 10 LA 4 AIR JORDAN 10 LA 5

Just in case some of you haven’t heard by now, my hometown, the city of Los Angeles is also getting their own colorway on this year’s Air Jordan 10 City Pack. Let’a get a closer look so we have a better idea of what to expect once these drop in the near future.

Coming in an tonal offering, the shoe has an upper done up in three shades of blue consisting of Ocean Fog, Blue Lagoon and Midnight Navy. Said to be inspired by the state of California, we’re still waiting on why Jordan Brand opted to go with all these blue tones on the upper. Th blue heavy upper sits on top of a all-white midsole to create some sharp contrast. Notable features on the shoe include the ‘LA’ embroidering on the collar and the Blue Lagoon found on the guts. Dropping May 14th for $190 at select Jordan Brand retailers, let us know how many of you plan on picking up a pair. Be sure to visit our Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles hub page, where you will be able to find all the latest news and images regarding this release.

Author?s Take

As an Los Angeles native, I tried really hard to like this colorway, but I just don’t. Too many shades of blue, and to make matters worse I’m not a huge fan of the 10s. Jordan Brand definitely has the ability to do better.
