When Michael Jordan first appeared on Late Night With David Letterman, it was more to promote his eye-catching first signature, the Air Jordan 1, than it was him going on television as you know, the greatest basketball player to ever live. In 1985 he was still just a rookie, but one with incredible hang time and a then-controversial sneaker that was slated to change the way athletes were marketed for generations to come. In honor of the occasion and Mike’s bold tracksuit ensemble, Jordan Brand will be releasing the Air Jordan 1 “David Letterman” on April 30th for $160. The Light Crimson upper is accented by patent leather Midnight Navy Swoosh branding to nod at his bold fashion for the occasion. If you manage to watch the interview, you’ll notice that MJ calls his Air Jordan 1 “Bred” ugly and that he didn’t have anything to do with creating that particular colorway. Check out the latest detailed image set of the upcoming Jordan 1 Letterman and grab this pair right now on eBay.

The Air Jordan 10 continues to drop in unexpected new colorways for 2016, as the City Pack isn’t the only collection of new looks for the shoe that welcomed Mike back to the NBA after his first retirement. The Air Jordan 10 “Vivid Pink” will be exclusive to a grade school size run, as the classic “Chicago” color blocking seen in the iconic Double Nickel rendition is emulated once again here, with the red swapped out for a more girl-friendly Vivid Pink. A premium tumbled leather base gets a subtle Pure Platinum touch instead of the usual white. The Vivid Pink Jordan 10 will arrive at retailers on May 14th for $140 USD. Check out more official photos below and stay up to date on the latest Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News.

The Air Jordan 10 doesn’t look like a “New York” sneaker to an outsider of the city. Maybe it’s because we’ve seen so many New York tribute kicks that channel the colors of either the Knicks, Mets or Yankees that it makes this black and gold pair stand out from the crowd in an interesting way. Add to that the recent release of the very hyped Air Jordan 10 OVO in both black and white colorways and you’ve got a pair that some might say is flying under the radar despite their similarities. But something tells us that after taking a look at these in beautiful 4K HD quality, the critics might have something else to say. Can it replacement the hype and excitement of the OVOs? No, but those who might be looking for an adequate replacement will need no further than this video for the next two weeks.

Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan – Michael B. Jordan, that is – star in Apple TV’s latest ad, showcasing the voice-activated services by Siri and all that the platform has to offer. The up-and-coming actor is portraying a young Kobe Bryant in an upcoming fictional biopic on The Black Mamba, so he’s spending some time with the 5-time champ to receive some insight into his basketball psyche. Of course, a Kobe Bryant biography probably won’t happen until long after his retirement, but Michael B. Jordan would be a fine (and somewhat ironic) selection to play that role. Check out the Apple ad below and stay tuned as Kobe nears his official retirement this week.

Another Air Jordan 10 was recently leaked, but this doesn’t appear to be a part of the City Pack. As a matter of fact, it looks like this version will release strictly in GS sizing for the girls. Let’s take a look at the first image of the Air Jordan 10 GG Pure Platinum.

A quick glance at the shoe and it looks very similar to the Air Jordan 10 Steel, but being that the name of the shoe is currently Pure Platinum, my guess is that the color of the leather upper is actually Pure Platinum and not white. Hits of black placed on the outsole, collar, eyestay, tongue and laces breakup the tonal look of the shoe. What are your thoughts on the shoe? Is this something you would pick up if it were to release in adult sizes? Currently rumored to release May 14th for $140, let us know what you think in the comments below.

Not the best quality picture, but it does look very similar to the Steel 10s. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing though. I’d like more creativity coming out of Jordan Brand, but what are you going to do, right?

The Air Jordan 10 Charlotte you see above is set to be a part of this year’s Air Jordan 10 City Pack. Paying homage to the city of Charlotte, let’s look at the latest images of the Charlotte inspired Air Jordan 10.

The shoe comes dressed in a white leather upper that ends up taking care of the majority of the shoe. The white base is accented by the hits of teal and purple placed in areas such as the tongue, eyestay, ankle, laces, ankle, heel and outsole. Just like all the other 10s from the City Pack, the city abbreviations appear on the collar of the shoe as a “CHA” is embroidered to represent the city of Charlotte. For those of you who aren’t in the know when it comes to why Charlotte got its own shoe, let me tell you why. Since Michael Jordan is a majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets NBA franchise, it only makes sense that the city of the team that he owns is well represented in the city pack, right? Releasing June 18th for $190. Let us know what you think about the shoe. Be sure to check out our Air Jordan 10 Charlotte hub page for all the latest information and images of this upcoming release.

It’s a clean colorway, probably the best thus far when it comes to this year’s city pack. There’s a good chance that these will do good.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Metallic Navy is set to be the next Air Jordan 1 colorway rocking the beloved Nike branding. While it is technically an OG colorway, the Metallic Navy doesn’t get the same amount of love compared to other OG colorways. Subtle in appearance, don’t let that take away from the simple/clean aesthetics of the shoe.

To start off, the shoe comes dressed in an all-white leather upper. Unlike many other popular OG colorways, this version does not come with any type of color-blocking, it’s simply done in all white. The white base of the shoe is contrasted by the Metallic Navy hits placed all over the shoe in areas such as the branding, collar, lining, outsole and Nike Swoosh. More white is seen by way of the laces and midsole, but for the most part that’s about it. One good thing about a subtle looking shoe is that it’s easier to pair with whatever it is you’re wearing. If you like the simple and clean look of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Metallic Navy you will be able to pick up a pair of your own in June for the retail price of $160.

I?m a big fan of navy blue on sneakers. I?m definitely looking forward to picking up this colorway once it drop in a couple of months. Hopefully people continue to sleep on them.

For well over a month we’ve known that a Los Angeles-themed Air Jordan 10 was in the works as a part of this year’s Air Jordan 10 City Pack. Only problem is, we had no idea what it was going to look like. Today we finally get our first look at the upcoming Air Jordan 10 Los Angeles.

The first image shows that the shoe will come dressed in a upper made out of several different shades of blue. A lighter blue is placed on the lining, while two darker tones can be seen in different parts of the upper. The embroidered LA is placed on the collar to let us know what city the shoe is reppin’. Lastly, the shoe gets cleaned up a bit as hits of white are spotted on the midsole and outsole region of the shoe. The shoe currently has a tentative release date of May 14th with a retail price of $190. Now that you’ve seen the shoe, let us know what you think.

I was semi-excited to see what the shoe was going to look like, now that I’ve seen it, I can’t say that I’m not disappointed. Such a led down. Damn.

This latest take on the classic Air Jordan 4 was certainly the most expensive pair to release today, almost double the price of the AJ 17+ Copper and Europe-exclusive AJ 10 Paris respectively.

Essentially a more luxe variation of the silhouette, the upper flaunts an exceptional textured leather build in black, while tonal accents of pony hair grace the signature netting and lower portion of its tongue.

Juxtaposing against its stealthy profile consists of a clean white rubber sole unit, with the model’s distinctive visible air bubble component seen in the heel.

Finished off with matching waxed laces and branding on the tongue and heel, the model is also equipped with a leather Jumpman hang tag, while packaged in an elephant printed blacked-out box, with extra set of laces, a white dust bag and a special card.

You can buy a pair at select stockists now, such as Kixify, for $400.

Despite the AJ 10 Paris being a Europe-exclusive release only, the AJ 4 Premium Black and this classic rendition of the Air Jordan 17 arrived at store shelves globally as well.

Essentially a remastered variation of its initial 2002 release, the model stays true to its aesthetic with a full-white leather upper, in addition to embossed black croc-skin overlays adorning its rear for a touch luxury.

Defining its profile consists of copperish accents gracing the eyelets, heel counter and tongue, alongside hits of silver throughout for a shimmering finish. Additionally detailed with a blue lace lock, more black accents are applied on the toe cap and midsole to solidify its palette.

Priced at $250, you can purchase a pair at select retailers such as Kixify now.

The post A Really Closer Look At The Air Jordan 17 Copper appeared first on KicksOnFire.com.

The Jordan Ultra.Fly is Jordan Brands latest basketball sneaker. We got our first look at the shoe less than a month ago when it was unveiled in three different colorways. We now have the latest colorway and it’s definitely the boldest one yet.

This version comes in a Black and Infrared colorway. The Ultra.Fly is said to be inspired by the spotted leopard as noted by the upper’s Kurim overlay. Not only does it have a unique look, the upper’s construction offers a flexible cage-like support. The Kurim overlay sits on top of the black meshing that covers the Infrared upper. If you take a closer look at the shoe you will notice that it also comes with more  Infrared placed on the foam-based sole unit and inner sock lining. A silver-colored Jumpman is placed on the ankle to complete the look of the shoe. Dropping April 15th for $125, let us know what you think.

The shoe is clean. I’d even wear them outside the court. The distinct looking upper is really appealing to me.

Aside from the Europe-exclusive AJ 10 Paris and the remastered AJ 17+ Copper, this luxe iteration of the Air Jordan 4 is another notable highlight to release this weekend.

Showcased in another editorial perspective, particularly how the silhouette is perceived when worn, the sneaker’s stealthy profile is essentially defined by its exceptional build. Textured leather is utilized across its upper, in addition to tonal pony hair implemented on its signature netting and lower portion of its tongue area.

A clean white sole unit offsets its almost blacked-out design, as other notable details include matching Jumpman branding on the tongue label and heel panel. You can purchase this pair at select JB accounts starting April 9th, for a steep price tag of $400.

While the AJ 10 Paris is a Europe-exclusive, the AJ 4 Premium Black and this remastered iteration of the Air Jordan 17 will be offered worldwide this weekend.

Essentially mimicking its 2002 counterpart, the model is comprised of premium materials with a full-white leather upper and the addition of black croc-skin overlays adorning the heel. The punctuating copperish hue is evident on the eyelets, tongue tab and rear portion alongside touches of silver to create a striking yet subdued finish to its luxe profile.

Priced at $250, you can purchase this pair at JB and Nike retailers once again, starting tomorrow, April 9th.
