I?ve always wanted a pair of Black/Metallic 5s, but if it means having to spend $220 plus tax I may just have to pass. *Sigh*

The Jordan Galaxy is one of Jordan Brand’s newest lifestyle models. The stylish silhouette has not gotten off to the start the Jordan Brand had hoped for, but perhaps this new classic colorway will help people take notice. Today we take a look at the readily available Jordan Galaxy Black/Gum.

This version of the Galaxy has the shoe come in a tonal black upper constructed out of full-grain leather on each lateral side and a nylon mesh construction on the medial side, resulting in a unique aesthetic. The black motif on the upper is accompanied by the Jordan Branding on the heel and the gold Jumpman on the tag placed on medial side. Completing the classic fee of the shoe is the gum rubber outsole that compliments the all-black upper perfectly. A set of black laces tie up the look together. If you’re impressed by this lifestyle look coming out of Jordan Brand, you can now pick up your very own pair for the retail price of $135.

Author’s Take

I never paid any mind to the Jordan Galaxy, but seeing it in this colorway has made my pay closer attention to the shoe. The nylon mesh gives it a little bit of a an Air Jordan 11 feel, and the full-grain leather looks pretty nice. I’m not afraid to admit it, it looks dope!

If you’re looking at the images above and wondering what happened, this is Nike’s official description of the Air Jordan 12 Wings:

The pressure and discomfort involved in growing and eventually being capable of flying, like his Airness on the court, requires hard work to achieve such a feat. To fly, one also needs wings. The Air Jordan XII ?Wings? brings this to life as the black upper reveals gold wings after being wiped, agitated, and rubbed on its natural surface. The man behind the Jumpman earned his wings time and time again in the Jordan XII ? most notably in an iconic 38 point performance in Utah while being weighed down by a stomach virus. Earn your own wings in this latest Jordan XII model.

Basically, it’s the Lance Mountain Air Jordan 1 applied to the Air Jordan 12 although judging from the reaction from Sneaker Twitter so far, it isn’t as welcome as the 1s.

The Air Jordan 12 Wings drops on April 2, 2016 and is limited to 12,000 pairs. Don’t think that just because a bunch of people are turned off now these won’t be hard to get because they will be. Stay woke and one way to do that is by bookmarking our Air Jordan 12 Wings launch page.

The finer details of the Air Jordan 12 “Wings” continue to unravel as well get a first look at a unique detail that surfaces just now. We already know about the white/black/gold colorway, but apparently the black upper portions reveal a black/gold “wings” graphic as the material naturally wears away. We’ve seen similar treatment before with shoes like the Nike SB Air Jordan 1 by Lance Mountain as well as the Nike SB Dunk High “Statue of Liberty”, but its the Wings 12s that make way for a graphic print rather than a different color. The Air Jordan 12 “Wings” releases this Saturday, April 2nd through Nike SNKRS via The Draw during a one-hour window between 10 AM and 11AM EST. Get a look at official photos just below.

Scheduled to release in just four short days is the all-new Air Jordan 2 Low Gym Red.

This new colorway of the overlooked Air Jordan 2 takes the tonal approach and is completely covered in Gym Red with minimal hits of Hyper Turquoise landing on the insoles and outsole. Even the Jumpman logo on the insoles has been done in Gym Red. As always is the case with Air Jordan 2s, the Wings logo appears on the tongue even on this low-top colorway.

They have announced via their official launch calendar that the 2016 version of the Air Jordan 12 French Blue will be releasing on April 2nd. Yes, that’s this upcoming Saturday!

The Air Jordan 12 French Blue features a beautiful and premium White tumbled leather throughout the majority of the upper with French Blue detailing on the side panels, outsole, heel and branding. There is also some Metallic Silver and Varsity Red accents throughout some parts of the shoe in order to add some more contrast.

With Wrestlemania 32 only 5 days away, the WWE knew that they had to do something epic to hype up its fans last night on the final Monday Night Raw before the huge pay-per-view event.

The match that people are most excited about is the Hell In A Cell match between Shane McMahon and the Phenom The Undertaker. If Shane wins he gains control of Monday Night Raw which would essentially mean the entire company since that’s their bread and butter. In their final opportunity to build up the fight, Shane and the Taker confronted each other last night on Raw which eventually resulted in Shane flying off the top turnbuckle and crashing on top of The Undertakes who was laying helpless on the announcer’s table.

With Shane wearing a new pair of Jordan retros every day since his return a few weeks ago this week was no different. He decided to lace up the fragment design x Air Jordan 1.

Hello, Brooklyn.

In 2009, Jordan Brand remembered Michael Jordan’s 64-point game against the Orlando Magic by releasing the Air Jordan 7 Retro “Defining Moments” Pack, which featured the OG “True Red” aka “Raptors” colorway in tandem with a new “Orlando” version of the shoe. There was a scrapped samples of the Orlando pair which is pictured here; it features a Magic-esque mix of white, black, and royal blue, but the detail that makes this sample stand out in history is the dope pin-striping on the upper – an homage to the Orlando Magic jerseys of 1993. Of course this version never made it past the cutting room floor, but the release of the Air Jordan 7 DMP was unusual as well because the Bulls didn’t even win that game (Orlando beat Chicago behind a Shaq’s 29 points and 24 boards). Refresh your memory here and if you’re a sample hoarder, peep the listing on eBay.

The theme of flight will forever be associated with Jordan Brand given Mike’s ability to hang in the air throughout the first half of his career. Spike Lee and Michael Jordan got together for some of the most iconic commercials the sneaker industry has ever seen, but perhaps the most infamous Jordan poster of all time is his ‘Wings’ spread that featured MJ’s wingspan and a quote by English poet William Blake. This brand new Air Jordan 12 takes inspiration from that 90s nostalgia trip with a luxe take on what would usually pass for the Playoff 12s. Known as the Air Jordan 12 “Wings”, a premium black leather base sees metallic gold accents hit the eyelets and ‘Wings’ adorned midsole for an added lifestyle touch. You can expect this pair to hit retailers later this April, so check out the best look at this premium AJ12 below and let us know if you plan on picking up the colorway by taking your thoughts to the comments section.

Update: The Air Jordan 12 “Wings” will release on Saturday, April 2nd, 2016.

Up until recently the only materials that were seen on the new Air Jordan Horizon were a woven mesh and textile. But now Jordan Brand will be placing premium materials on the lifestyle with this new pair that you see above.

This new version of the Air Jordan Horizon takes on a brand new look by being covered in a croc textured leather in black all throughout the upper. The midsole and outsole have also been blacked out in order to keep things tonal. The only hit of texture comes with the touches of Infrared on the outsole.

There is no release date for this Air Jordan Horizon PRM yet but stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for any updates.

To be honest I think I prefer the woven mesh version instead of this leather pair. This looks like a luxury sneaker gone wrong.

The Air Jordan 12 French Blue, Flu Game and Wings will all be releasing later this year in addition to the already released The Master and Dynamic Pink colorways. That’s enough colorways for one year, right? Wrong! Jordan Brand has more 12s releasing this year including this GS colorway that you see above.

Today we get new images of this grade school exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 12 that comes dressed in White leather upper and then contrasted by University Blue detailing on the inner liner, branding, heel and outsole. Gold accents are then placed on the top eyelets to give the shoe a clean look.

Take a look at these new images of this Air Jordan 12 that is scheduled to release on May 21st for a retail price of $140. Make sure you also check in with our Air Jordan 12 GS University Blue launch page for the latest images and updates on this release.

Author’s Take

I?m not a fan of University Blue/Carolina Blue/Sky Blue or whatever else you wanna call this light shade of blue so I don?t really mind that these will be a GS exclusive. I’m sure the ladies will be huge fans of the colorway though as well as some guys who can fit into the extended GS sizes.
