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.

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.

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.

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.

This Summer is sure to be a hot one and with the release of the Air Jordan 5 OG 90 Black/Metallic Silver it’ll only get hotter.

The Jordan Galaxy Black/Gum Is Now Up For Grabs

JORDAN GALAXY 1 JORDAN GALAXY 2 JORDAN GALAXY 3 JORDAN GALAXY 4 JORDAN GALAXY 5 JORDAN GALAXY 6

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!

Official Images Of The Air Jordan 12 Wings Changes Everything

Air Jordan 12 Wings Official 7 Air Jordan 12 Wings Official 2 Air Jordan 12 Wings Official 4 Air Jordan 12 Wings Official 5 Air Jordan 12 Wings Official 3

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 Air Jordan 12 Wings Features A Detail You Didnt Know About

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.

WWE Kicks: Shane McMahon Takes Flight In The Air Jordan 1 Fragment

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.

Check out the clip above and let us know what you think. Would you ever do something as crazy as jumping 15 feet onto a table while wearing your Jordans? You can fast-forward to the 3:00 mark to get closer to the action.
