The next rendition of the Air Jordan 10 GS will be offered in a Pure Platinum finish — reminiscent of the Steel colorway that received a retro release back in 2013.

Essentially covering the entire tumbled leather upper in the defining tone, this kid’s exclusive variation of the silhouette is enhanced with black accents on the eye stays, tongue, collar and outsole to perfectly complement its theme.

Fans of the model can start purchasing a pair at select JB and Nike accounts on May 7th for a retail price tag of $150.

Author’s Take

I’ve shared before that I’m a fan of this model. In this colorway, it’s pretty solid and versatile. A larger release should be offered as well.

Air Jordan 10 Rio

Release Date: May 7, 2016
Price: $190

With the forthcoming 2016 Summer Olympic Games to be held in Brazil, this next variation of the Air Jordan 10 essentially pays tribute to Rio de Janeiro ? Brazil?s second most populous municipality, famed for its Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.

Sporting a clean wolf grey hue across its pebbled leather upper, the light shade is offset by obsidian accents gracing the eye stays, inner lining, laces, tongue and rubber sole unit. To further symbolize the South American country, the outsole flaunts a mixture of yellow, green and blue tones to evoke the country’s flag, in addition to an embroidery of the nation located across its collar.

Another Preview Of The Air Jordan 10 Rio

Here?s A First Look At The Air Jordan 10 Rio


Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I?m generally a fan of this silhouette. The theme and homage to Brazil is a cool gesture, but I?m not really that inclined on this colorway. It should still garner some attention obviously, especially those from the vibrant country.

Air Jordan 4 Premium Obsidian

Release Date: Fall 2016
Price: $400

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.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I like this pair a bit more than the recent release with pony hair due to the model’s overall makeup and colorway. I just like the utilization of various leather detailing and its tonal finish. Like everyone else, I’m just against that price tag.

An On-Hand Look At the Air Jordan 2 Low Chicago

 

Another Air Jordan 2 Low is said to be releasing next month, and theres a good chance that it will also be one of the most highly coveted colorways as well. Today we get the lateat look at the Air Jordan 2 Low Chicago.

Rocking’ an OG colorway, the Chicago version of the Air Jordan 2 Low was last released back in 1994. The shoe comes in a white leather upper that takes care of the majority of the shoe. Minimal hits of red and black found in areas such as the sole, lining, piping, heel and branding give the shoe the “Chicago” feel. Simple in aesthetics, Jordan Brand in banking on the history of the shoe to help raise the popularity of the colorway. Currently scheduled to release May 21st for $160, is this Jordan 2 Low on your watch list?

Author’s Take

I’m still on the fence about picking up an Air Jordan 2 Low model, but if I were to pick up any of the colorways said to be releasing, it would probably be this pair.

That Time We Saw An All-Black Air Jordan Collection (Video)

Today’s launch (and subsequent purchase) of the Air Jordan 30 Black Cat reminded me of a few things, like how awesome it would be if Jordan Brand just decided to dedicate an entire year to releasing the complete signature line in the blackout style. The marketing campaign for something that momentous would have been crazy; imagine the hype of the Black Mamba Pack but multiply that exponentially with all of the Jordan stans and hypebeasts out there who would be itching to cop and resell.

While we have seen a handful of retros already drop in the all-black look, like the Air Jordan 4 Black Cat and the upcoming Air Jordan 6 Black Cat Batman (yeah, I said it), dropping them all would give us a chance to grab the less popular models but yet have cult following like the Air Jordan 16 and 17 for example. A complete collection of the blackout Js was on display during this past February’s NBA All-Star fesitivies in Toronto to honor Kobe Bryant’s career, but let’s go back to the time when we saw the collection in New York City for the launch of the Air Jordan XX8. Check out the video up top; would you like to see Jordan Brand drop them all at some point? Let us know in the comments below.

A Good Look At The Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles

Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles 1 Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles 2 Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles 3 Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles 4 Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles 5

Last weekend we got a first look at the Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles which will serve as the 6th colorway from the Air Jordan 10 City Pack. Already having seen the Chicago, Charlotte, NYC, Paris and Rio pairs, we now get a closer look at the pair designated for the city of angels.

The Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles comes in an Ocean Fog upper that looks to be constructed out of a soft leather material. Blue Lagoon then lands on the inner liner and on the embroidered LA logo by the ankle. Midnight Navy also makes an appearance on the tongue, laces and eyestay. The outsole is done in white to provide some contrast to the rest of the shoe along with Midnight Navy detailing.

You can look for the Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles to arrive at retailers on May 14th for a retail price of $190. Will this be a cop or a pass for you?

Author’s Take

When I heard that the Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles was supposed to be inspired by the Dodgers I was excited to see what it would look like. Now that I see it I’m no longer excited. I don’t see anything that would even resemble the Dodgers on this shoe.

Whos Excited For The Air Jordan 11 Low Navy/Gum

It’s been a couple weeks since we got our first look of the Air Jordan 11 Low Navy/Gum, and the more we see it the more we’re intrigued by this new look utilized on the Air Jordan 11 model.

The low-top Air Jordan 11 comes dressed in a all-navy upper done up in a mesh construction. The mesh is accompanied by the patent leather placed on the toebox/mudguard region of the shoe. Continuing the tonal look of the upper are the navy laces and inner lining. Below you will find a white midsole sitting on top of a gum bottom outsole. Black and Grey carbon fiber is spotted on the sole area as well. Are you digging this new look on the Jordan 11? Be sure to visit out Air Jordan 11 Low Navy/Gum hub page for all the latest images and info regarding this upcoming Spring/Summer release.

This well be my first Air Jordan 11 Low purchase of all-time. Has a similar look to the Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above that I love, so I need to add this to my closet as well.

Alongside the popular Nike Air Foamposite Pro University Red and AJ 9 Low Black / White, the latest variation of the new Air Jordan 30 will be dropping at retailers this weekend as well.

Essentially flaunting a blacked-out aesthetic, the sneaker’s upper profile is comprised of a mixture of woven, knit and printed materials that ensures strength, softness and breathability. Other notable stylistic elements include the netted detail on the heel, alongside a Jumpman-braned toe cap for additional reinforcement.

All resting atop an icy translucent outsole unit, the component is also detailed with its respective number on the frontal portion to signify its current place on the historic lineage, while a portion of the midsection of the midsole receives a subtle intergalactic graphic to perfectly complement its theme.

Finished off with orange accents on its geographical tongue patches that display the North America and Africa continents respectively, and an evenly cut collar that takes cues from the AJ 11, you can purchase this newest rendition of the sneaker at select JB and Nike accounts on Saturday, April 16th for a retail price tag of $200.
