A Closer Look At The Air Jordan 10 Paris

Alongside the AJ 17 Copper and AJ 4 Premim Black, a closer look at this European exclusive Air Jordan 10 is provided, as the model essentially pays homage to the city of Paris, France.

Flaunting an understated full black upper, the component is comprised of an exotic leather-like texture for a bold yet subdued profile. Pops of purple are evidenced on the outsole, heel pull tabs and “75” embroidered across its collar section which signifies the French city code.

Additionally detailed with tonal black hits for the laces, inner lining and midsole, a slightly translucent outsole rounds out the design. If you’re located in Europe, you can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike stockists tomorrow, April 9th for about $220.

Author’s Take

I’m generally a fan of the silhouette and I do like how this pair is predominantly black. The only thing I dislike is the upper construction and that’s pretty much its entire aesthetic.

The Air Jordan 6 GS Green Glow Drops Later This Month

Air Jordan 6 GS Green Glow 1 Air Jordan 6 GS Green Glow 2 Air Jordan 6 GS Green Glow 3 Air Jordan 6 GS Green Glow 4 Air Jordan 6 GS Green Glow 5 Air Jordan 6 GS Green Glow 6

Joining the Air Jordan 6 GS Bright Mango that we just took a look at, the end of the month will bring us another GS colorway of the Air Jordan 6.

Unlike the Bright Mango version, I think many people will appreciate this colorway because it uses a color scheme that many people like. This Air Jordan 6 comes with a Cement Grey and Dark Grey upper done in a combination of suede and nubuck. Adding some flair to this colorway are the Green Glow accents that appear on the midsole, lace lock, heel tab, Jumpman on the tongue and the outsole.

Scheduled to release on April 30th for $140, will these be a cop or a drop for you? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more images.

Author’s Take

Much better than the Bright Mango colorway in my opinion. I’m sure a lot of grown men will also be trying to fit into a pair. They remind me a lot of the Air Jordan 4 Green Glow that released a couple years back.

Later this month we’ll be seeing the release of a new colorway of the Air Jordan 6 designed exclusively for the grade school crowd.

Known as the Air Jordan 6 GS Bright Mango, this colorway features a White leather upper that alternates between smooth on the base and tumbled on the overlays. Next we see Ghost Green accents on the translucent outsole, heel tab, lace lock on the tongue, and the Jumpman logos on the tongue and heel. Hasta then covers the tongue, inner liner, heel tab and midsole along with Bright Mango accents on the midsole overlays and the speckling on the midsole.

Set to release on April 30th for a retail price of $140, will and of the grade school folks out there be copping a pair?

What’s up with Jordan Brand making these crazy colorways that nobody really likes? I expect this Air Jordan 6 to sit on shelves.

Teaser Image Of The Air Jordan 5 Bronze

Earlier we gave you a first look at the Air Jordan 5 Olympic that featured a White leather upper and Gold detailing on the tongue and midsole meant to pay homage to the gold medals given out during the Olympics. Now continuing with the “Olympics” theme we get a first look at another new colorway of the Air Jordan 5.

This Air Jordan 5 is being known as the Bronze colorway. At the moment there’s only one teaser image that has surfaced which shows the tongue done in a shiny bronze with a navy Jumpman logo. The inner liner and laces are also navy. It’s unsure what color the upper is on the shoe, but if this preview that we showed you back in January is accurate then then upper should also be navy.

At the moment the Air Jordan 5 Bronze is expected to release on September 24th for $190. Make sure you keep it locked to Kicks On Fire for more images in the near future.

Author’s Take

It’s hard to tell what the shoe looks like from this teaser images, but if the entire upper is also blue then it has potential. Hopefully it’s a suede material on the upper and not leather. We’ll have to wait and see.

Will You Be Dishing Out $400 On The Air Jordan 4 Premium Black Tomorrow

AIR JORDAN 4 1 AIR JORDAN 4 2 AIR JORDAN 4 3 AIR JORDAN 4 4

In less than 24 hours we’ll be seeing the release of the Air Jordan 4 Premium Black. Considered probably the most deluxe Air Jordan 4 of all-time, this sneaker takes luxury to a whole new level.

Jordan Brand is calling this a premium colorway of the Air Jordan 4 as it features a blacked out upper covered in a premium tumbled leather with snakeskin detailing. Adding to the “premium” look is pony hair on the side panels and on the tongue. The insoles are composed of quilted leather and the inner liner is also made up of leather. Lastly we have a Sail outsole finishing up the look.

Will you be picking up a pair tomorrow for $400? Let us know down in the comments below and don?t forget to visit our Air Jordan 4 Premium Black launch page to stay updated with the latest images, news and updates.

Author’s Take

I would have preferred to see some contrast on the upper instead of just all-black. While the Air Jordan 4 is probably my favorite Air Jordan silhouette of all-time, it?s hard to justify spending $400 on a pair, especially one as plain as this one.

A Closer Look The Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman

Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman 1 Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman 2

Some of you may be too young to know who David Letterman is, but he used to have his own talk show (since he’s now retired) much like Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon have these days.

Back in the 80’s Michael Jordan appeared on The David Letterman Show during his rookie season. This upcoming Air Jordan 1 is inspired by that visit that Michael made to the show. The Air Jordan 1 High OG is inspired by what Jordan wore for the interview. The sneaker features Bright Crimson on the leather upper with Midnight Navy and University Blue detailing for a bold touch of contrast. Not pictured here, but the insoles feature a special graphic consisting of a microphone along with the words ?On Air? to coordinate with its respective theme.

Scheduled to release on April 30th for $160, what are your thoughts on this new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 High OG? Don’t forget to head over to our Air Jordan 1 High OG David Letterman launch page to stay updates on the latest images and information on this release.

Author’s Take

When I first saw pictures of this Air Jordan 1 I didn’t like it at all. Now that I see better pictures I think it doesn’t look that bad. The only thing I don’t like is the University Blue hits on the tongue.

First Look At The Air Jordan 12 Gym Red

You may or may not remember, but back in early January there was rumors that a new red and white colorway of the Air Jordan 12 would be releasing some time in 2016. A couple of weeks later we even gave you a look at a sample Mike Bibby PE colorway that was said to resemble the pair that will be arriving at retailers.

Now three months later we get our first look at the Air Jordan 12 Gym Red. The image above is not the best in the world, but we can pretty much tell what the shoe is going to look like. Think of it as a reverse Cherry colorway. The majority of the upper on this Air Jordan 12 is done in Gym Red leather while the side panels, outsole and branding have all been done in contrasting white. A black inner liner completes the look on this Air Jordan 12 that is expected to release on July 2, 2016 for $190.

What are your thoughts? Do you plan on picking up a pair? Let us know down in the comments and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more images soon.

Author’s Take

Not sure if I like the Cherry 12s or this colorway better. I feel like I need one of these two pairs in my collection. I’m looking forward to more pictures.

Get A First Look At The Air Jordan 5 Olympic

This year we’ve already seen a handful of Air Jordan 5s release, but the only thing that sneakerheads have been displeased with is the fact that they’ve all been low-tops. Jordan Brand will be changing that as they’re expected to release a few colorways of the original mid-top Air Jordan 5 later this year.

Pictured above is a first look at what’s being known as the Air Jordan 5 Olympic. This colorway features a White leather upper with Black accents on the midsole, inner liner and upper eyelets. What makes this Air Jordan 5 stand out are the hits of gold on the tongue which represents the gold medals given out during the Olympics and on the shark teeth on the midsole.

This is the only image that is available at the moment but make sure you stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more. The Air Jordan 5 Olympic is currently expected to release on August 13th for $190. What’s your first impression?

Author’s Take

I wanna like it but I just don’t. I feel like a lot more could have been done with the Olympic theme and Jordan Brand just got lazy and decided to just slap on a gold tongue. I think this will be a pass for me.

Author’s Take

Get rid of the pony hair and cut the price in half and I’ll consider. As is with a $400 price tag this is an easy pass.

Any European Sneakerheads Plan On Picking Up The Air Jordan 10 Paris Tomorrow

AIR JORDAN 10 PARIS 1 AIR JORDAN 10 PARIS 2 AIR JORDAN 10 PARIS 3

We already knew about the Air Jordan 10 Chicago, NYC, Charlotte and Los Angeles from the upcoming City Pack, but Jordan Brand surprised us all last week when pictures leaked of the Air Jordan 10 Paris which is also part of the city pack.

The Air Jordan 10 Paris pays homage to city of love. This Air Jordan 10 comes comes dressed in a black upper with a unique texture on it that makes it stand out from your every day leather pairs. A ?75? has then been embroidered on the ankle that represents France?s city code for Paris. Paired up with the textured black upper is 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.

If you weren’t aware already, this will be a European exclusive release and will drop on April 9th. Make sure you visit our Air Jordan 10 Paris launch page to find out what Nike stores in Europe will be carrying these.

Author’s Take

It’s cool to see a city outside of the US get their own colorway as a part of the Air Jordan 10 City Pack. Not sure how people would react to this pair if it released in the states but I would pass.

The Most Premium Release During Michael Jordans Wizards Days Is Back

The Air Jordan 17+ is back in action this weekend, as one of the more surprising Jordan retros of 2016 will make its debut after a decade-and-a-half absence from store shelves. The Jordan 17 was inspired by Michael Jordan’s love of Jazz music, as Wilson Smith designed a premium model to encapsulate the aging interest during Mike’s final stint as a professional basketball player. The original “Copper” colorway returns to reference MJ’s time as a member of the Washington Wizards as luxurious touches of faux croc-skin hits the heel to match Sport Royal and Copper Coin accents throughout. Check out a better view below and know that you can find this pair right now via eBay.

Sneakers In 4K: Air Jordan 17 Copper (Video)

The Air Jordan 17+ Copper (or “Croc” as it was called when they first came out years ago) doesn’t need a PRM or a Pinnacle designation to be considered a luxury model. The shoe was a standout back then because of its use of materials that had not seen on a basketball shoe at the time like the use of faux crocodile skin and the copper strip. Mix that with the shoe’s marketing campaign at the time that really played into the shoe’s jazz music inspiration and you’ve got an Air Jordan that was aiming just a little bit higher.

Tomorrow, the Air Jordan 17+ Copper will be making its return and we’ve got a special 4K look at the shoe so you’ll know if this is a pair that you will want to cop. Be sure to watch up top and for all the information, images and videos you need to make a decision, bookmark our Air Jordan 17+ Copper launch page.
