After a heartbreaking loss in the modern-day classic that was this year’s NCAA Men’s National Championship game, the University of North Carolina needs something to cheer them up and distract them from all the crying Jordan memes populating Twitter these days. The Air Jordan 12 “UNC” came at the perfect time, as Michael Jordan’s alma mater will be immortalized in the form of an upcoming Grey, Carolina Blue, White Air Jordan 12 colorway on June 25th, 2016 for $190 USD. The subtle rendition of Mike’s twelfth signature silhouette comes on the heels of highly anticipated French Blue and Wings renditions and should make for a perfect addition to your Spring and Summer rotation. Check out a preview of the colorway below and let us know what you think of these UNC Jordan 12s by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

Don’t look now, but the Air Jordan 9 Low Black / White release is less than two weeks away. Over the past few months we’ve seen the shoe on-feet, on-hand and plenty of glamour shots from different sources. Today, Nike finally decided to share the official images of the upcoming drop.

This black, white and red version of the Air Jordan 9 Low comes constructed out of a black leather upper. The black motif is given a premium touch with the addition of the tonal snakeskin texture placed on the overlay of the mudguard and heel. Contrast on the upper takes place by way of the hits of red found on the lining and the branding hits placed on the tongue and heel of the shoe. A red Jumpman is spotted on the rear white portion of the midsole. Rounding out the look of the shoe is the white placed on the rubber outsole component of the shoe. Are you looking forward to this release? If so you will be able to pick up a pair April 16th for $170. Also make sure you visit our Air Jordan 9 Low Black / White launch page for additional images, videos and other updates.

Author’s Take

I can definitely see the Air Jordan 9 Low doing better than the Air Jordan 5 Low. Coming in a black and red colorway doesn?t hurt either. Not to mention the faux-snakeskin placed on the upper. Not a bad looking shoe.

Bred is back on the Air Jordan 9 Low, but with a twist. Jordan Brand has managed to introduce snakeskin to the lowtop variety of a shoe that Mike never got around to wearing during his tenure with the Chicago Bulls. The Air Jordan 9 always comes with an asterisk given that it was the first shoe created during Michael Jordan’s brief baseball career. With the then future of Air Jordan models in limbo, Tinker managed to create a unique silhouette complete with one of the more interesting outsoles in the Jordan signature series. This April’s Air Jordan 9 Low “Bred” manages to incorporate the usually gaudy snakeskin trend in a rather subtle way, as the synthetic texture lands on the mudguard in a matching black shade. University Red hints creates that iconic Chicago-like colorway throughout. Expect this pair to hit retailers on April 16th for $170 USD. More detailed photos below.

The Air Jordan 10 Paris is set to be a part of this year’s Air Jordan 10 City Pack. Paying homage to to city of Paris, the shoe comes with a “75” embroidered on the ankle that represents France’s city code for Paris. The shoe comes comes dressed in an upper with a unique texture that winds up giving the shoe a very distinct and intriguing look. The black upper is paired up with a translucent outsole to create some subtle contrast. Adding some color to the shoe are the purple accents placed in areas such as the outsole, heel pull tab and ?75? embroidered on the ankle collar of the shoe. It should also be noted hat the Air Jordan 10 Paris appears to be a Europe release, meaning that we probably won’t be seeing these stateside.

Jordan Brand will once again celebrate Michael Jordan’s Championships by releasing a commemorative pack that consists of a shoe model he wore during the year he won one of his six titles. Last year we say the Air Jordan 7 Championship pack, this year Jordan Brand is releasing the Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack.

The pack will include two unique colorways of the Air Jordan 8 that pay tribute to Jordan and the Chicago Bulls’ ?three-peat? championship basketball season in 1992-93. The pack will contain ?Champagne? and ?Cigar? colorways. One is dressed in a White upper paired up with a Gold-plated counter with Jordan’s fingerprints as a nod to the Larry O?Brien trophy given to the NBA Champs. The second pair comes in Black paired up with confetti print along the midsole as a tribute to the celebration you have once you become champion. Each shoe is said to feature premium materials while being inspired by the look of Champagne bottles and Cigars.

An Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack Is Releasing This Summer

Author’s Take

Juan Carrillo, News: The gold heel counter that represents the Larry O’Brien trophy is pretty creative. I really like that on the shoe, I just wish it wasn’t done on the Air Jordan 8 (which I don’t like). Maybe Jordan Brand can revisit this concept with they release the Air Jordan 11 Championship pack.

It’s almost impossible to talk about the Air Jordan 4 Premium Black in a vacuum. We can rave (or rant) about the quality and whether or not it lives up to the “Premium” moniker, but the only topic of discussion that is on people’s minds – and this was made obvious by the Periscope broadcast we just put up – are the price of the shoes. Because it’s $400 and that’s not cheap now, then or ever.

At $400, the Air Jordan 4 Premium is a luxury sneaker, no matter how you want to spin it. Much like the Pinnacle Air Jordan 1s that caught on with the public last year, the craftsmanship and level of detail – from the pony hair to the metal hang tag – is there. Yes, the box would have been nicer as was pointed out in the comments on the Periscope, but really, who wouldn’t want a pair of classic Jordans in a colorway that is timeless in black and white? But there’s a giant wall that gets in the way in form of the price tag.

No it doesn’t have Nike Air on the tongue. No it’s not an OG/Retro colorway. Regardless, it’s still pretty clean. Considered to be a premium version of the Air Jordan 1 High, today we take a look at the Air Jordan 1 High Premium Pearl White/Metallic Gold.

The Jordan 1 High comes dressed in some sort of textile material placed on the quarter panels. Accompanying the textile upper are the leather hits placed on the toe and heel region. The tongue appears to be made out of mesh, while the laces appear to be semi-waxed. Jumpman branding appears on the heel, tongue and red insole. The most notable feature on the shoe would have to be the metallic gold Nike Swoosh on the side panels. A translucent outsole and white midsole complete the appearance on the shoe. No word yet on when Jordan Brand will be releasing these, but let us know what you think in the comments below.

Nike’s never-ending stream of Air Jordan 1s continues with this pair of the Retro High Premium persuasion.

Author’s Take

The color combination used on the shoe is really really nice. I really don’t care that it doesn’t have Nike branding on it, I just like the shoe for what it is. Good work.

Making its debut in 2002, the Air Jordan 17+ Copper returns this weekend 14 years later and many people are excited. This OG colorway features a White leather upper with Black croc textured leather detailing around the ankle as well as on the tongue. Making this colorway pop even more is the Copper detailing on the heel, eyelets, and Jordan branding on the tongue, heel and by the toe.

Do you plan on picking up a pair on April 9th? Let us know down in the comments below. If you?d like to see more images, video, or just find out more about this shoe then head over to our Air Jordan 17+ Copper launch page for the latest updates.

Author’s Take

The Air Jordan 17 holds a special place in my heart because it?s the first retro that I ever bought back in 2002 but in the black and chrome colorway. This Copper colorway is decent but that $250 price tag is something that pushes me away.

Every once in a while Jordan Brand throws us a curve ball and announce a retro right before they end up releasing them. The Air Jordan 10 Paris happens to be one of those instances. The shoe was recently unveiled and it’s already getting ready to release. Said to be inspired by the city of Paris, today we get a closer look at the Europe-exclusive Air Jordan 10.

The shoe will be a part of the Air Jordan 10 City Pack, the Air Jordan 10 Paris comes dressed in an upper with a unique texture that winds up giving the shoe a very distinct look. The dark upper is paired up with a translucent outsole to create some subtle contrast. Adding some color to the shoe are the purple hits placed in areas such as the outsole, heel pull tab and “75” embroidered on the ankle collar of the shoe. Jordan Brand has decided to make this pair from the City Pack a Europe exclusive. Releasing April 9th for for 190,00 ? or £155, how many of you are looking to get a pair.

Author’s Take

I’m okay with the shoe being a Europe-exclusive since I’m not a big fan of the Air Jordan 10. The unique upper is not something I’m feeling and the purple hits are not really my thing either.

Author’s Take

So the ladies are pretty much getting the same release as last year but just making it a low-top instead of a mid? Not sure how they feel about it but I feel that these will sit on shelves for a long time.
