Michael Jordan’s first appearance on David Letterman was the stuff of legend way before Jordan Brand decided to release a sneaker that referenced the moment. It featured a young MJ that was still far from the polished pitchman that always said the right thing and never offended anybody, even Republicans. I mean, he actually agreed with Letterman and said that his signature Air Jordans were “ugly”. Future MJ would have shrugged that off and had a brilliant – but also vanilla – retort for Letterman that would have had the audience laughing. There’s also no way in hell Prime MJ allows himself to be out there in front of a nationwide audience wearing that jumpsuit that looks like something out of Eddie Murphy’s Delirious closet. And if there was a word to describe that moment in time, it would be another Eddie Murphy classic, Raw. That show had a raw MJ that wasn’t quite there yet, but was well on his way.

Enjoy this early look at the Air Jordan 1 David Letterman (what are the odds Jordan Brand changes the nickname to something like “Late Night” or “On Air” to prevent Worldwide Pants from coming down on them?) in beautiful 4K quality.

I’ve shared before that I’m a fan of the silhouette. I like the simplicity of this palette, especially since the upper is all-white. A nice pair for the youngsters or ladies.

Dez Bryant is one of the rare athletes to be signed to both Jay-Z and Michael Jordan business ventures, and with that exclusivity comes a number of perks. On the Jordan Brand side of things, Dez has been known for rocking exclusive cleat versions of some iconic Air Jordan retro colorways like the Air Jordan 11 “Concord” and more every Sunday. In Complex’s latest Sneaker Shopping segment, Dez hit up Miami’s Shoe Gallery to talk about whether his rivalry with the Giants extends over to Victor Cruz’s latest signature sneaker, his favorite Jordan model of time, and his opinion on Jordan Brand’s latest collaborative efforts.

I’m just biased towards this colorway. I really wanted it bad back then. This pair is the best low-top variation in my view, and it’s just a classic. I’m glad to see it being revived.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jordan Brand is pushing hard with original colorway re-issues in 2016. We’ve seen the peak of the OG crop in the White/Cement IVs release, and there’s already talk of True Blue 3s with Nike Air and more hitting stores throughout the rest of the year. This May 21st, one of the first colorways of the Air Jordan 2 Low will release with an MSRP of $160; the shoes originally dropped in 1987 and later released in 1994 as part of Nike’s first-ever Retro generation of Jordan shoes.

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.

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.

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?

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.
