Black Cat Is Back With A New Air Jordan XXX Weekend Release


The Air Jordan XXX Black Cat is almost here. Michael Jordan’s dominant play on the court could be attributed to his work ethic and his Black Cat alter ego, as he roamed around the court striking with precision and purpose much like a jungle cat stalking its prey. The nickname was most noticeable atop Tinker creations like the Air Jordan 13, a shoe that’s outsole was created to look like a panther paw. Jordan Brand is re-introducing that iconic all-black tooling atop the Air Jordan 30 as shades of Black and Anthracite ominously drape the upper while an icy outsole adds a clean finish. What do you think of the latest Jordan XXX? Retailers like Oneness will have the pair in stock this weekend, but you can always find the pair right now on eBay.

AIR JORDAN 9 LOW 1 AIR JORDAN 9 LOW 2 AIR JORDAN 9 LOW 3 AIR JORDAN 9 LOW 4 AIR JORDAN 9 LOW 5 AIR JORDAN 9 LOW 6

Yesterday we gave you a look at the Jordan Brand Classic 2016 footwear collection that includes the Air Jordan XXX, Jordan Ultra.Fly and the Air Jordan 9 Low. The shoe that caught most people’s eye was the Air Jordan 9 Low because well, everyone loves retros.

So in honor of it being Friday we’re giving people what they want with these new detailed images of the Air Jordan 9 Low Jordan Brand Classic PE. This Air Jordan 9 comes with an all-white leather upper with textured snakeskin hits on the mudguard and heel. Black accents then land on the tongue, laces, and inner liner while a grey and black marbled outsole give a very unique look to this sneaker. Capping things off are Infrared hits on the branding on the midsole, tongue and heel.

Unfortunately this Air Jordan 9 Low will remain exclusive to the 2016 Jordan Brand Classic athletes but don’t be surprised if some of them begin popping up on eBay soon.

Author’s Take

The all-white upper with the textured leather accents give the shoe a good look. The best part however is the marbled outsole. This is one of the first Air Jordan 9 Lows that I wouldn’t mind wearing.

Author’s Take

I think Jordan Brand should definitely release these colorways or at least something very similar. The cosmo print looks good on the performance woven upper. Both the red and blue pair are cop-worthy.

Author’s Take

I’ve always liked this color scheme. It looks great on other silhouettes and this pair is a good example. I’m only against that textured upper.

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.

We also see two colorways of the Jordan Ultra.Fly featuring a black/red colorway and an infrared/black color option. There is also a Jordan Flight Runner ST that comes with a red upper and black and white detailing.

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.

Jordan Brand Teases A Kawhi Leonard Apparel Collection

Kawhi Leonard Kawhi Leonard 1

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.

Number 12,000 Out Of 12,000 Of The Air Jordan 12 Wings Is Up For Grabs On eBay

AIR JORDAN 12 1 AIR JORDAN 12 2

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?

via: aones.nyc


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.

Check Out The Jordan Reveal Premium Black Cat

JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 1 JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 2 JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 3 JORDAN REVEAL PREMIUM 4

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.
