Jordan Brand looks to continue the string of Michael Jordan’s Championship celebrations with the third installment of the Air Jordan “Cigar & Champagne” Pack. This year’s release will feature the Air Jordan 8 Retro, the shoe MJ wore during the 1993 Finals against the Phoenix Suns. With the Cigar & Champagne theme being the anchor to this mini-series of release, expect some sick details in the form of lace-locks in the shape of Championship rings and materials that mimic the festive nature of the theme. Expect these in June with a price-tag of $250 per pair.

The post Air Jordan 8 “Cigar & Champagne” Pack Releasing In June appeared first on Sneaker News.

The last two years we have seen Jordan Brand commemorate Michael Jordan’s 1st and 2nd NBA Championships with the Air Jordan 6 Championship Pack and the Air Jordan 7 Championship Pack, respectively.

Now since the Air Jordan 8 is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year we’ll be seeing an Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack that celebrates Michael’s 3rd NBA Championship and the Bulls first three-peat season that took place in 1992-1993. At the moment there is no images of the shoes but the pack will include two colorways of the Air Jordan 8, one in black and one in white. As was the case with the previous two Championship Packs, each shoe is expected to be inspired by the look of Champagne bottles and Cigars and will feature premium materials.

The Air Jordan 8 Championship Pack is currently scheduled to release some time in June 2016 with each pair retailing for $250. Make sure you check back with Kicks On Fire for the latest updates on this latest Championship Pack from Jordan Brand.

I’m not a fan of the Air Jordan 8 so I can’t say that I’m looking forward to this pack. I am curious to see what the shoes look like though.

The Jordan Spike 40 Low showcased Spike Lee’s dedication to Jordan Brand this past October, as the famed film director moved on past the styles of the Son of Mars, Spiz’ike, and more to claim his very own original lifestyle model with the Jumpman. The latest colorway exudes a certain premium quality, as a “Triple Black” look is accented by Metallic Gold hits throughout for a look reminiscent of Drake’s OVO Jordan 10s. A reflective 3M even manages to bring a Gold Foil brilliance when light hits the ankle collar and heel. No word yet on a release date, but you can check out more photos below.

With the Spring/Summer seasons here it should be no surprise to see that lots of brands will be releasing low-top renditions of some of their most classic sneakers. Today we get a first look at an upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 11 Low.

Dressed in Navy Blue upper on the ballistic mesh upper and the patent leather mudguard, this new colorway of the Air Jordan 11 also features a white midsole for contrast and a gum outsole. The gum outsole is a welcomed sight since we’ve never seen an Air Jordan 11 with a gum outsole.

Take a first look at the sneaker above that will be releasing later this year and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for release updates.

A navy blue Air Jordan 11? I like how Jordan Brand is thinking outside the box a bit and giving us a completely new colorway. The gum outsole is also a really nice look. The only thing I’m not too happy about is that it’s a low-top. Maybe once I see better pics I’ll be able to give better judgement.

For most dwelling in the Northern Hemisphere, rocking Jordan retros isn’t a year-round affair because of the slush and snow. Jordan Brand has tried to reinvent some of their offerings in winterized flavors before – think the Jordan Spiz’ike with a boot tooling and rugged exterior – but now we’re getting word that the Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 12 will be the beneficiaries of premium wool uppers. The info floated around Twitter today complete with style code and color information with a vague release outline of October and December. Stay tuned for more Jordan release dates right here on Sneaker News and let us know if you think outfitting Jordan retros in winterized finishes is a good idea by taking your thoughts to our comments section.

Holiday 2016 won’t disappoint, according to Michael Jordan’s son Marcus who recently saw his father’s brand’s winter product preview. One of the Jordan releases that will surely cause is a stir is the rumored Air Jordan 6 “Pinnacle”, which is described as a gold/white colorway releasing in December. While no true images exist, we can speculate that the Air Jordan 6 “Pinnacle” could look something like Spike Lee’s PE that was made for him for the Oscars. On the other hand, there’s a chance the hits of gold could be more selective, as seen on the original Air Jordan 6 DMP or the Air Jordan 6 Golden Moments. We’ve got more previews for Holiday 2016 coming soon so stay tuned and let us know what you think about the rumored “Pinnacle” 6s for December.

The jury’s still out on whether or not the whole colorway mash-up known as the “What The” treatment” is still hip in sneakers these days, but there’s no doubt that the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG will be welcomed with open arms. Rumors of a What The Air Jordan 1 have been swirling around, but today, what appears to be an official Nike image has surfaced, giving us a first hint as to how this mash-up will be. This could be a photoshop rendering, but the color-blocking, which features hits of “Chicago”, “Bred”, “Royal”, “Shadow”, and much more is said to be on cue with the upcoming July release. Stay tuned for more updates on the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “What The” and let us know if this mash-up of colors fits the Air Jordan 1 silhouette.

Covered in a bright Infrared hue from head to toe, this will mark the first time that we will see the colorway of the Air Jordan 9 arrive at retailers. In addition to the Infrared leather upper we see contrasting black accents land on the tongue, inner liner, laces, Jordan branding on the heel, midole and outsole, and the speckling on the midsole. Lime green detailing also shows up on the heel and on the Air Jordan branding on the tongue to provide some more contrast.

An exact release date has not been announced yet but we expect this Air Jordan 9 Low to release some time in the Spring or Summer of 2016 for a retail price of $170.

A New Air Jordan 9 Low Colorway Has Been Unveiled

Author’s Takes

Andres Carrillo, News: This is beginning to get out of hand. I’m not sure how many people actually like the Air Jordan 9 Low silhouette to begin with, but this colorway looks like something that should only be placed on a Roshe. Not a good look Jordan Brand.

A brand new colorway of the Air Jordan 6 will be releasing on New Year’s Eve. The colorway will be known as the Black Cat and judging from past Black Cat releases (Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 4) we can expect to see an all-black shoe with perhaps some minimal contrasting.

There is no images of the shoe yet. What we do know is that this Air Jordan 6 will be releasing on December 31, 2016. Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more updates on this upcoming release.

Andres Carrillo, News: I’m curious to see what Jordan Brand does with this Air Jordan 6. Will it look like the Air Jordan 6 Black Infrared without the Infrared detailing? Will it be leather instead of nubuck? We’ll have to wait and see.

A closer look at the recently featured Air Jordan 1 High Nouveau defined by its snakeskin composition is given, as the model is currently available at select retailers nationwide.

Essentially exuding premium flair with its exotic the upper, the component is doused in black, while tonal accents are also applied on the tongue, collar section and Swoosh branding to create a luxurious yet stealthy appearance.

Further detailed with bold red accents adorning the inner lining, wings logo on the ankles and outsole to pronounce the model’s palette, a crisp white midsole unit finishes it all off.

You can purchase a pair at select JB and Nike accounts now for $150.

I can never get tired of this silhouette. Especially if the colorway is a classic. The execution and construction on this pair is pretty solid.

Jordan Brand has had a knack over the last year or so of releasing new silhouettes without really giving them a proper unveiling or introduction. Some examples that come to mind include the Air Jordan Spike 40 and Air Jordan Horizon. The latest new silhouette to release without any fanfare is the Jordan Reveal.

Previewed on the site earlier this month, the new lifestyle silhouette features an open mesh upper in a mid-top cut along with a bootie-like ankle. This colorway comes in white with metallic silver accents on the heel counter and tongue as well as black detailing on the branding.

If this Jordan Reveal has caught your attention you can pick up a pair now at select Jordan Brand retailers for $115.

Author’s Take

I don’t really understand why Jordan Brand lets these new releases just fly underneath the radar. Wouldn’t they want to give them more time and attention so people could actually notice them?I don’t expect anyone to go crazy over this shoe but since it’s sort of affordable some will buy it simply because it’s from Jordan Brand. It does look sort of similar to the Jordan Eclipse so that may also attract people.

I think it’s safe to say at this point that 2016 is unofficially the year of the Air Jordan 5 Low. Whether they’re flying off shelves or not is a different story, but Jordan Brand has and will continue to release a handful of colorways of the low-top model.

One of those colorways that will probably not sit on shelves for too long is this upcoming collaboration with soccer star Neymar. The Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar comes with a cement print upper that features black speckling and is also 3m reflective. In addition to the flashy 3M upper we also see Infrared detailing on the outsole, the inside of the tongue, and the “10” and “23” branding on each of the ankles that represent Neymar and Michael Jordan’s numbers respectively. The rest of the shoe including the tongue, laces, inner liner, eyelets, midsole and side panel mesh netting are all done in black. Capping things off is an icy blue translucent outsole.

There is no exact release date for the Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar yet but they are expected to release some time in June for a retail price of $175. Stay tuned for more here at Kicks On Fire.

In your pick of crisp white with metallic silver accents or a simple black and white look, the Reveal is hitting Jordan Brand retailers like Oneness right now.

Jordan Brand recently decided to change the release date of the Air Jordan 12 French Blue. Unfortunately for those who were looking to pick up a pair this weekend, you’re going to have to wait a little more before you can get your hands on a pair. That doesn’t mean you’re no longer allowed to get excited about the release though. As today we have some pretty cool on-feet images of the shoe to give you a good idea of what the shoe is going to look like once you lace them up.

The Jordan 12 French Blue comes dressed in a full premium leather upper. White leather take care of the majority of the upper, while the French Blue which is found on the mudguard on one side of the shoe acts as the accented color. Additional French Blue is placed midsole, outsole, heel tab and branding on the tongue. White laces are paired up with metal eyelets to tie up the look together. Said to be releasing April 9th for $190, is this the best colorway of the Air Jordan 12 that we’ve see in 2016?
