The Jordan Galaxy Rocks The All-White Look

Jordan Galaxy  1 Jordan Galaxy  2 Jordan Galaxy  3 Jordan Galaxy  4 Jordan Galaxy  5 Jordan Galaxy  6 Jordan Galaxy  7 Jordan Galaxy  8 Jordan Galaxy  9 Jordan Galaxy  10

A new Jordan Galaxy has been spotted, and this pair appears to be the complete opposite of the pair we went over yesterday. Opting to go with an all-white upper made out of two different materials, let’s take a look at this readily available colorway from Jordan Brand‘s latest lifestyle offering.

The shoe comes constructed out of an upper made out of white full-grain leather used on the lateral side and white nylon mesh used on the medial side. Adding to the tonal look of the shoe are the rope laces, heel pull tab and the embossed Jumpman logo on the heel. A small gum colored Jumpman is placed on the tag attached to the collar, while the gum bottom outsole give the clean looking shoe a classic look. Available now, pick up your very own pair for $135.

This one is cool too, but there’s no doubt that I’m liking the black/gum pair better.

Another amazing piece of Michael Jordan/Jordan Brand history will be auctioned off in the near future. This time it’s the original Air Jordan 7 Olympics that Michael Jordan actually wore during the games in Barcelona back in 1992.

According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, the highly coveted pair of shoes will be auctioned off by Goldin Auctions. There has been no date set for when the auction will be taking place but with the Rio Olympics right around the corner it should be happening soon.

How much would you pay for these Michael Jordan game-worn pair of Olympic 7s? Do you remember how dominant that team was? Geesh!

The Jordan Westbrook 0 Gets The Low-Top Look For The Summer

Jordan Westbrook 0 1 Jordan Westbrook 0 2 Jordan Westbrook 0 3 Jordan Westbrook 0 4 Jordan Westbrook 0 5 Jordan Westbrook 0 6

Last year we saw the debut of the Jordan Westbrook 0 which is a brand new lifestyle silhouette that was created by Jordan Brand for NBA superstar and fashionista Russell Westbrook. The shoe released in a handful of different colorways that also featured different materials.

Jordan Brand has now switched things up in 2016 by creating a low-top version of the shoe known as the Jordan Westbrook 0 Low. The first colorway that you can see above has already hit nike.com and features a the classic all-white look for the Summer with gold detailing landing on the lace dubraes that read “Why” and “Not” and the branding on the insoles.

If you’re a fan of this new low-top version of the Jordan Westbrook 0 then you can purchase a pair now at select retailers for $110.

Author’s Take

There was only a couple o colorways of the Westbrook 0 that I considered buying since i didn’t really like it. Now that the shoe has been transformed into a low top it kind of has a Vans look to me. I don’t see myself buying a a certain colorway makes me change my mind.

More Images Of the Upcoming Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red

Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red 1 Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red 2 Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red 3 Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red 4 Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red 5

 

Back in the beginning of March we let you know what the Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red could possibly be getting the retro treatment sometime this year. These new images of the shoe gives us more reason to believe that the shoe could be returning this Summer.

The shoe initially released 15 years ago (2001), so it just about time that Jordan blesses us with a fresh new pair. This classic colorway has the shoe come in a white nylon mesh upper accompanied by the beloved patent leather mudguard coming in the Varsity Red colorway. A white midsole and a translucent outsole is placed under the base, while white laced, a lack “23” on the heel, a red Jumpman on the heel and red branding on the tongue complete the minimal look of the shoe. Slated for a Summer release, is this considered a must cop in your opinion?

Author’s Take

It’s cool, but I’d much rather prefer the Air Jordan 11 Low Navy Blue set to release in the near future. The one above may be considered a classic colorway, but I’m just more of a Navy Blue kind of guy.

Jordan Brand Honors Michael Jordans 30,000th Career Point Against Bulls

As Jordan Brand enters into the Retro era of the later, post-Bulls models, expect some inspirations from some jaw-dropping career milestones that were established later in his career. Take this Air Jordan 17+ for example; the silhouette is a familiar “Bulls” composition, but the real story behind this release is that Michael wore the Air Jordan 17 while scoring his 30,000th career point, joining the exclusive ranks that also include Kareem, Malone, and Wilt. The Jordan 17 “30,000 Points” aka “Bulls” will hit retailers on May 29th for $250 USD. Are you a fan of the look? Check out a brief preview below and stay updated on the latest Jordan Brand offerings via our Jordan release dates page.

In addition to the hats and shirts that we already saw earlier this month are these two new t-shirts. The first features Michael taking flight with a space background all over and the second features the Space Jam logo with the words Air Jordan replacing Space Jam. The bottom of each shirt also features the 20th anniversary tags that were seen on the other shirts.

This Is What The Air Jordan 12 Wings Will Look Like If You Decide Not To Wear Them

Air Jordan 12 Wings 1 Air Jordan 12 Wings 2 Air Jordan 12 Wings 3 Air Jordan 12 Wings 4 Air Jordan 12 Wings 5 Air Jordan 12 Wings 6 Air Jordan 12 Wings 7

The Air Jordan 12 Wings took the sneaker world by storm yesterday as a release date, official images and also the surprise that the upper wears away to reveal a gold wings print underneath were all revealed on the same day.

There’s been mixed reactions from sneakerheads on Twitter and every other social media site you can think of. Some people love it and other people hate it, but no matter what side you’re on everyone is talking about these 12s. Lots of people like them because the colorway is very similar to the Playoffs colorway but with a few added gold hits, which just makes them better. If you’re one of those people that wants to buy them for that reason then here are the latest official images that show the shoes in their original state without any parts of the upper being rubbed off yet. Oh yeah and if you didn’t know already the shoes come with a white and gold Jordan dust bag.

Is the gold wing print a deal-breaker for you? Let us know down in the comments and visit our Air Jordan 12 Wings launch page to stay up-to-date on all of the news and images regarding this release.

Author?s Take

I knew that $190 price tag was too good to be true. For such a limited shoe with special features to retail for the same price as a general release just didn?t sound right. Now the $225 price tag makes more sense. I was gonna try to buy a pair but now I?m not so sure.

WWE Kicks: 10 Air Jordan Retro Picks For Shane McMahon At Wrestlemania 32

On Sunday, April 3, 2016, Shane McMahon will take a Leap of Faith at Wrestlemania 32. His target will be The Undertaker (or maybe Vince McMahon). He’ll fly through the air for what will seem like forever. It will be crazy and dangerous and a feat of athleticism that no human being in their 40s with 3 kids should dare take. But he will do it for the fans and his family and the “business” because that’s what a McMahon does. And it will be captured in pictures, GIFs and Vines for the rest of time.

The only question is what pair of Air Jordans will Shane-O-Mac rock as he takes flight. The world needs to know.

Shane really doesn't have the best track record of nailing that elbow, huh? (Cageside Seats)
Shane really doesn’t have the best track record of nailing that elbow, huh? (Cageside Seats)

Since Shane made his long-awaited return to WWE television earlier this year, he has made a point to well, point out what sneakers he’s wearing. From the Air Jordan 1 Chicago for his re-debut to the Air Jordan 2 Wing It to the now infamous shot of him getting chokeslammed in Shattered Backboard 1s to the Fragment x Air Jordan 1 when he gave ‘Taker a flying elbow through the announcer table, he has been bringing the fire to the WWE. Not that that should surprise anybody that has followed the man who was once known as the Boy Wonder during the Attitude Era because he has shown a love for sneakers since he was an actual Boy Wonder.

But what Js will he rock the biggest show of the year? If his trademark baseball jersey is anything to go by, it will be a black and white affair. So with that in mind, let’s take a few educated guesses as to what pair of Air Jordan retros Shane McMahon will wear at Wrestlemania 32. And if you want to keep track of the kicks on this list that yet to release, be sure to bookmark their launch pages that you can find by clicking on their links.

Air Jordan 12 The Master

Nike
Nike

The Master 12s seems like the safe choice since it is a recent release and it would match up well with his gear, but Shane is getting a lot of attention in the sneaker world now so he might want to opt for something a little more flashy.

Air Jordan 1 Black Toe

Air Jordan 1 "Black Toe" (6) If you do the math, Shane was a teenager by the time Michael Jordan first came onto the NBA scene so it’s totally possible his sneaker passion was ignited when he first saw His Airness fly through the air. It would totally explain his wont to fly while in Jordans. He also doesn’t wear the same pair of kicks frequently – if ever – so by process of elimination, he could break out the Black Toe 1s. The Royal Blues or the Black and Gold could also work in this situation.

Air Jordan 4 White/Cement

Nike
Nike

Shane has yet to wear 4s on television so this might be a great time to break from tradition. He’s from an era when “Nike Air” was really what was on the back of his Js after all.

Air Jordan 5 Black/Metallic Silver

Shane would break necks wearing the “Nike Air” Air Jordan 5 Black and Metallic Silver retro that will be dropping later this year. Not only would it be another confirmation that it is coming soon but we also don’t ever have to worry about its legitimacy because he has the connect.

Air Jordan 11 Concord/DMP

Air Jordan 11 Concords It doesn’t seem likely that Shane will continue to risk life and limb this way, so if this is a one-time deal, he might as well go out wearing one of the greatest kicks ever made in the Concord 11s or he could up the ante and blow everyone’s mind by wearing the rare DMP version.

Air Jordan 6 Black Cat

Air Jordan 6 Black Cat If Shane takes the craziest risk and jumps off the Hell In A Cell itself in the murdered out pair, I have zero problem renaming the upcoming Air Jordan 6 Black Cat the “Shane McMahon”. What? I was already questioning the nickname because Batman wore it first anyways.

Air Jordan 11 Space Jam

Air Jordan Retro Space Jam XI's

If Shane flies in the 2016 version of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam, it will be an epic sight and should birth a million memes. And it confirms the release in a roundabout way, so Shane becomes a sneaker legend.

Air Jordan 12 Wings

Nike
Nike

You could almost picture a scenario where WWE cuts to the backstage area and shows Shane getting ready for his match by lacing up his kicks and it’s the Air Jordan 12 Wings that is releasing this weekend. It would be the ultimate “wear them on the way out” moment. Bonus points if the golden wings start to reveal themselves during the match as it gets beat up.

Air Jordan 12 French Blue/Air Jordan 3 True Blue

Nike
Nike

Shane could also switch things up and not wear his own branded baseball jersey and opt to rock the official Wrestlemania version which is blue, white and red. This would give him an excuse to break out the Air Jordan 3 True Blue that is rumored for a Black Friday release or the Air Jordan 12 French Blue that is also dropping this weekend alongside the Wings.

Air Jordan 3 True Blue

Air Jordan 3 Kobe Bryant

Air Jordan Kobe

Oh, now he’s just showing off at this point. Bonus points if WWE cameras catch him taking the shoe out of that beautiful box that contains both the Air Jordan 3 Kobe and Air Jordan 8 Kobe.

Air Jordan 11 Low Varsity Red Releasing This Summer

Over the last few years, we’ve been trained to expect an Air Jordan 11 Low release during the Summer. We’ve been spoiled with a “Bred”, “Concord”, and much more for the warm weather months, and for 2016, it appears that the “Varsity Red” colorway, which originally released in 2001, will make its way back to store shelves. Featuring the classic pairing of patent leather mudguards and ballistic nylon uppers (and a pleasing un-blue clear sole), this Air Jordan 11 Low “Varsity Red” release will undoubtedly be one of the must-haves this Summer season. Get a detailed look here and stay tuned for solid release info.

A Touch Of Luxe For The Air Jordan Horizon

Air Jordan Horizon Air Jordan Horizon 1 Air Jordan Horizon 2 Air Jordan Horizon 3

With the collaboration by Public School and All Star iteration of the Air Jordan Horizon being its most notable releases thus far, the silhouette has now received a more luxurious take this season.

Evoking lifestyle flair, this rendition flaunts a croc-skin textured leather upper which also flows along its tongue. Doused in tonal black to create a sleek and stealthy profile, the understated shade is continued towards the midsole and outsole to cap off its blacked-out theme.

You can find this pair at select JB and Nike retailers nationwide now, although stay tuned in to KicksOnFire for additional updates.

I’m not a big fan of hybrids but these are alright. In this execution, it looks solid since I’m more for its tonal finish.

A Few More Days Till The Arrival Of The Air Jordan 12 French Blue

Air Jordan 12 1 Air Jordan 12 Air Jordan 12 2 Air Jordan 12 3 Air Jordan 12 4

By now, you’re aware that the popular Air Jordan 12 in French Blue is set to make its debut once again this weekend, in addition to the AJ 2 Low Gym Red.

Another set of images showcasing the forthcoming silhouette is provided, this time depicted in a lifestyle editorial. Essentially portrayed on how it looks when worn, the model is defined by its two-tone finish. Pristine white covers the majority of its leather upper, while the bold contrasting hue is evident on the forefoot, outsole and heel tab.

Minor hits of silver, grey and red throughout finish off the sneaker’s entire palette as well. While official retail is set at $190, full family sizing will also be offered, with an Infant Gift Pack, TD, PS and GS listed at $50, $60, $80 and $140 respectively.

The Air Jordan 12 Wings Will Come With A Premium Price Tag

Nike just released the official images of the Air Jordan 12 Wings a few hours ago. This new colorway of the Air Jordan 12 will be releasing this upcoming weekend on April 2nd exclusively on the SNKRS app via The Draw from 10am-11am EDT.

We also found out that the upper features a unique quality similar to the Air Jordan 1 Lance Mountain meaning that when the black upper is “wiped, agitated, and rubbed” it will reveal a gold wings print/pattern underneath. However, when the official images first released the retail price was listed as $190. We have now found out that someone at Nike/Jordan Brand made a mistake or they had a change of heart because the new retail price has been spiked up to $225. With the shoe being limited to only 12,000 pairs along with the color changing effects on the upper we can’t say that we’re surprised.

Now that the price has been bumped up $35 does this change your mind about wanting to go after a pair or could you care less? Let us know your thoughts below and head over to our Air Jordan 12 Wings launch page for the latest images, videos and updates.

This Air Jordan 4 Arrives Next Week

Air Jordan 4 2 Air Jordan 4 Air Jordan 4 1 Air Jordan 4 3

While the AJ 12 French Blue and AJ 2 Low Gym Red are highlighting this weekend’s drop, the latest premium iteration of the Air Jordan 4 is scheduled to arrive a week later.

Simply a luxurious rendition of the iconic model, the sneaker is essentially covered with tumbled leather, in addition to faux pony hair implemented on the tongue and tonal exotic textured skin embossed across its collar.

Maintaining a bold, stealthy profile, the predominantly blacked-out theme is nicely offset by a clean white rubber outsole component. Finishing touches consist of quilted insoles, waxed laces and tonal detailing throughout.

Retailing for $400, find it at select JB and Nike accounts on April 9th. Head over to our official Air Jordan 4 Pinnacle Black launch page for additional info.

The Release Of The Air Jordan 17+ Copper Is Quickly Aproaching

Air Jordan 17 1 Air Jordan 17 2 Air Jordan 17 3 Air Jordan 17 4

By now you probably know that the Air Jordan 17 will be making a come back this year after making its debut back in 2002. The first colorway that will drop is the OG Copper version that you see above.

This colorway of the Air Jordan 17 sticks true to the original release from 14 years ago and 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 when they release on April 9th? Retail price has been set at $250 for this release. 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.

Serving as one of multiple colorways of the Air Jordan 9 Low that will be releasing in 2016, this Air Jordan retro utilizes a vibrant Pantone blue on the majority of the upper as well as on the Jumpman branding on the midsole and outsole. Contrasting hits of white land on the midsole, outsole and 23 on the heel with Black making its way onto the inner liner and the Jumpman logo on the heel.

Author’s Take

The low-top version of the Air Jordan 9 doesn?t actually look that bad. However I?m not a fan of University Blue so I wouldn?t pick up this colorway. I?m sure that many people do look forward to this release though.
