Sneaker News and Updates

The most up to date Air Jordan, Nike, Adidas sneaker news. Check back to this page daily for more sneaker news!

Jordan Brand athletes of the early 2000s like Mike Bibby and Derrick Anderson were privy to the Air Jordan 9 Low, and now in 2016, we’ll be treated to a number of colorways that were once only given out to those who inked deals with the Jumpman. The Air Jordan 9 Low “Bred” is slated to release at retailers on April 16th for $170 USD. The pair features that classic “Bred” construction featuring a standard Black upper complete with University Red lining, but this AJ9 does deviate from the norm thanks to a synthetic snakeskin textile on the mudguard. It’s a subtle update given the print’s matte black appearance but adds some depth and lifestyle quality to the otherwise traditionally colored offering. What do you think of the look? Check out more photos below and head to our updated Jordan release dates page for more info.

Michael Jordan’s near-sociopathic obsession to win is what made him the G.O.A.T. Toward the twilight of his career, Mike redefined his game as an insanely efficient scorer through a seemingly limitless array of moves like his patented turn-around jumper. It earned him the nickname ‘Black Cat’ for what Nike says was “his ability to strike with purpose”. With that theme in mind, and with the help of another Chicago Bull in Jimmy Butler, Jordan Brand is proud to introduce the Jordan Ultra Fly just-in-time for the playoff push ahead. The silhouette features a unique Kurim overlay that forms a caged upper for a structure that’s not only supportive but ultra flexible to the movement of one’s foot. The design manages to take aesthetic cues from the spotted leopard. You can catch the Ultra Fly on Jimmy Buckets’ feet later this week as the Bulls continue to fight for a playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. The Jordan Ultra Fly will release at select Nike retailers on April 2nd for $125 USD. More official photos below.

When Russell Westbrook wears retros to a game, it’s not an accident. While several NBA players around the league have built a cult of personality simply based on the shoes they wear and not their actual performance, Westbrook has it both ways. As the appointed successor to wear the signature Air Jordan, he is often seen rocking the latest models like the Air Jordan XX9 and Air Jordan XXX, but when he breaks out the retro heat, there’s a buzz and fresh feeling there. You know it’s going to coordinate with the uniforms and that there’s a chance they’re either very rare or something we’ve never seen anybody else wear to a game.

He’s running out of time to rock the Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above before they release to the public, so we’ve decided to feature him wearing the kicks. Kinda. It’s the featured pair in this week’s edition of NBA 2K16 Kicks.

The colorway is easy enough to bring into the game, but there are two roadblocks that are going to prevent you from making a 100% recreation. The first problem is the disappearance of the shoe’s signature netting; they were replaced by generic perforated panels (the netting was in 2K15, go figure). The gum sole that gives the shoe a very casual appeal can only be placed on the toe because the midsole color option takes up the entire bottom of the shoe save for that one part on the toe.

As you can see in the screenshots below, the shoe looks right at home on an NBA court, especially when the Thunder wear their Alternate and Christmas Day uniforms. Apologies to DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry here as they get routinely worked by the #FashionKing.

For more information on this release, check out our Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above launch page that will have all the news, images, videos and links to buy on release day.

There’s good and bad news. The good news: The Air Jordan 12 “Melo” colorway is on the way back for the first time ever. The bad news: It looks like it may be released in grade school sizing only. With no sign of a release date for men’s sizing and this being our second preview of the shoe in GS sizing, it doesn’t look very good for anybody with large feet hoping to grab a pair of the now-classic colorway worn by Carmelo Anthony early in his days with the Denver Nuggets. But if you are among the Air Jordan 12 fans that can fit into GS sizing (I.E. kids and the ladies), here’s your best look yet at the “Melo” colorway that drops on April 2nd.

We have already seen a handful of athletes, musicians and other influential people receive their pairs of the Air Jordan Kobe Pack that features Away or Home Lakers colorways of the Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 8.

But the piece of bad news is that unless you’re one of those select few people that knows or has connections with Michael Jordan or Jordan Brand, there’s no way for you to get your hands on a pair. That was until now. The White colorway from the Air Jordan Kobe Pack just surfaced on eBay in a size 10 and there’s six days left on the listing. The only downside is that the bid is already at $75,000 with only 2 bids submitted. So either someone is trolling the person selling this pair of Jordans or they’re for real and willing to pay a pretty nice chunk of change for these shoes.

If you want to place your bid you can do so here. How much do you think is a reasonable price to pay for this pack considering they’re not available to the public? Make sure you keep up with our Air Jordan Kobe Pack launch page just in case these kicks do get a release date.

Ever since Shane McMahon returned to the WWE a couple of weeks ago he’s been stylin’ and profilin’ in a different pair of Air Jordans every time (and he’s been a regular here at KoF). First it was the Chicago 1s which were then followed up by the Air Jordan 2 Wing It.

Yesterday he returned to Monday Night Raw once again to continue to hype up us his Hell In A Cell match against the Undertaker that will take place during Wrestlemania 32 in a few weeks. It was the first time that Shane O Mac and The Phenom stood face to face since the match was announced last month. What Jordans was Shane wearing this time? The Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard.

After a few words back and forth Undertaker and Shane eventually began going at it which ultimately lead to Shane getting chokeslammed thanks to his dad, Vince McMahon. At least he took the beating while rocking a fresh pair of kicks, right?

Do you think Shane will be wearing the Air Jordan 12 French Blue for Wrestlemania 32?

The NBA regular season is coming to an end. Only 16 of the 30 NBA teams will move on to compete for the NBA Championship. and there’s no doubt that the Los Angeles Clippers will be one of those teams. With that being the case, today we’re going to show you what shoe Chris Paul will be wearing during this year’s playoffs. Let’s take a first look at the Jordan CP3.IX AE.

The Jordan CP3.IX AE appears to feature a lighter overall build when comparing it to the original Jordan CP3.IX. This is made possible since the shoe looks to use more mesh (lighter) construction for the upper. This particular colorway comes in a bright green upper contrasted by the orange hits placed on the laces and tri-colored midsole. A grey hue tones things down a bit, while the silver Jumpman on the heel gives the shoe an additional bold feature. Expect these to release in the near future. Cop or drop? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

The color is really bad, but I’m trying to look past it and simply judge the shoe for what it is. With that being said, the shoe is decent and the lighter feel on the upper appears to be a positive. Looking forward to see other colorways on the model.

The day is almost here. 5 days away to be exact. A brand new color scheme on the Air Jordan 4 is scheduled to drop this Saturday and today we take a look at these brand new images of the Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above.

Said to be inspired by Michael Jordan?s ability to take flight and soar through the air, the Dunk From Above colorway boasts a brand new look we’re not used to seeing on the highly coveted Air Jordan model. A navy blue leather upper sitting on top of a gum bottom outsole, yea, that’s not something you see on the Air Jordan 4 every day. Additional features on the shoe include the white accents on the netting an midsole, while the yellow accents throughout provide a bold contrast on the shoe. Is this a hit or miss colorway? Honestly, I have no idea. I guess we will have to wait and see. Dropping March 19th for $190, let us know if you plan on scooping up a pair. Need more info, be sure to visit our Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above hub page for the latest info on the shoe.

Author’s Take

For the most part, people look to be sleeping on the shoe because it’s not a OG colorway and because of the navy blue leather upper. I hope they continue to do so to make it easier for me to get a pair.

Tinker Hatfield has once again designed some special sneakers for charity with a couple of different pairs of Air Jordan 10s.

Hatfield designed an all-black and an all-white pair of Air Jordan 10s for the Grimm Gala event which is a charity event around the NBC television show Grimm. This isn’t the first time that Hatfield has worked with the people of Grimm. Last year he created a special pair of leather Roshes that featured some of the characters on the upper which were also auctioned off at the Grimm Gala charity event. The Air Jordan 10s that he created this year featured leather uppers and drawings of the characters from the show. The shoes also came in a special box and were autographed by Tinker and Michael Jordan.

The event managed to successfully raise $386,000 to help kids and families at OHSU Doernbecher Children?s Hospital.

It looks like Jordan Brand has decided to bring back the Air Jordan earlier than expected. This year’s Black Friday Jordan Brand release will give us all the opportunity to pick up a pair of the beloved Nike Air Jordan 3 OG 88 True Blue. Considered to be one of the best colorways on one of the best Air Jordan models of all-time., many people are counting down the days until they can get their hands on a pair. The love for the True Blues is understandable being that shoe is an OG colorway. But what about other Air Jordan 3 colorways that aren’t OG but are considered just as exclusive? Take for example the rare Air Jordan 3 sample coming in the versatile khaki suede colorway.

Rarely do you see an Air Jordan 3 constructed in this manner, let alone in this color scheme. Did I mention the gum-like bottom sole? Too clean. It’s not not an OG colorway, but there’s no doubt that many of us would pay good money for a pair of these. Would you like to see Jordan Brand release this colorway? If so, would they sell out faster than the Air Jordan 3 True Blue?

I’d love to have a pair of these. Never seen them in person being that they are samples, but I can already I would love them.

Over the weekend the Air Jordan 12 Wings surfaced once again after getting a first look at the shoe in 2015. Today we get some updates on the potential release of the Air Jordan 12.

According to @_po2345, the Air Jordan 12 Wings will not be a general release and will be limited. How limited? Well that’s still unclear but the number we’ve been hearing as of late is 12,000 pairs. He also says that the shoe is not affiliated with Macklemore and that it is charity based and will support the Wings foundation. The most important bit of information is that the shoe is scheduled to release next month. That’s all that we know at the moment but we’ll continue updating this story as we find out more so make sure to stay tuned to Kicks On Fire.

Author’s Take

Whether this is a charity release or not, it’s a nice colorway of the Air Jordan 12. What really makes the shoe stand out are the gold hits on the eyelets and side panel. Too bad I won’t be able to get my hands on a pair.

The latest Jordan signature sneaker rumored to make a return is none of other than the Air Jordan 15. If you’re a fan of the 15s this is definitely good news for you, the only bad thing is that you’re going to have to wait until Spring of next year to get your hands on a pair.

The image of the Air Jordan 15 you see above was provided by @zsneakerheadz. The colorway on the shoe is said to be the colorway set to release next year. The shoe comes in a predominantly black upper offset by the grey accents placed on the midsole of the shoe. The color scheme is actually very similar to the pair of 15s that dropped back in ’07. Keep it locked to KoF for more news regardng this future release.

Author’s Take

The Jordan 15 is a very odd looking shoe. I wouldn’t call it ugly, just different. If the right colorway release I wouldn’t be against picking up a pair.

The Air Jordan 1 Nouveau collection was created as a premium line of Air Jordan 1 models. A few years back Jordan Brand released several different versions of the Air Jordan 1 Mid constructed out of premium suede and leather materials. There’s no doubt that the shoes were made better than what we’re used to seeing on the Air Jordan 1 models, but being that they came in an Air Jordan 1 Mid opposed to the Air Jordan 1 High, a lor of people ended up sleeping on the. Now Jordan Brand has decided to put the Nouveau treatment on the Air Jordan 1 High. Today we take a look at the Air Jordan 1 High Nouveau Snakeskin.

Right off the bat, the first thing that you notice is that the shoe does not come in a premium suede or leather construction, instead it opts to come in an all-black faux snakeskin upper to give the shoe the luxe effect. The cut-out Nike Swoosh on the side panels reveal a mesh underlay. Offsetting the all-black look are the red accents on the Wings branding, lining and outsole. Lastly, a white midsole cleans up the shoe a bit. Stay tuned to find out when Jordan Brand decides to drop these.

Author’s Take

Although I don’t have any Nouveau Jordan 1s, I appreciate the premium look and feel of it. But in my opinion, I’d rather have a premium suede or leather instead of a faux-snakeskin upper.

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.
