Author’s Take

Sometimes I wonder what the heck Jordan Brand is thinking when I see crazy and bright colorways like this. I expect for these to sit on shelves for a very long time.

For the most part fans of Jordan Brand don’t really embrace the low-top versions of any of their retro sneakers. However the only exception may be the Air Jordan 11 which many people people label as “the perfect Summer sneaker.”

This year we may see the return of one of the most popular colorways ever with the White and Varsity Red colorway. This Air Jordan 11 Low comes equipped with a white mesh upper and Varsity Red detailing on the patent leather mudguard, Jumpman branding on the heel and the outsole. The return of the sneaker has not been confirmed at the moment but it’s interesting to note that the production dates on the inner tag from the pictures above are from 2016.

Would you like to see this classic colorway of the Air Jordan 11 Low make a return this year? Let us know down below and stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for any updates on this potential release.

There’s only a couple of colorways of the Air Jordan 11 Low that I would consider buying and this white/red version isn’t one of them. I’m sure lots of people will be hyped if this rumor is indeed true though.

As if there wasn’t enough colorways of the Air Jordan 12 releasing in 2016 already, it appears that we can now add another one to the list with this pair that will be a grade school exclusive.

This Air Jordan 12 will be dressed in a mixture of White, University Blue and Metallic Gold. There is no pictures of the shoes yet but it’s rumored that they may have similarities to the “Melo” pair that released back in 2004. The images above are of the 2004 Air Jordan 12 WMNS pair and only a reference to what the shoe may possibly look like. At the moment this Air Jordan 12 is expected to release on April 2, 2016 at select Jordan Brand stockists for a retail price of $140.

Stay tuned to Kicks On Fire for more developments on this upcoming release as more information surfaces.

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.

What did you think of the sneak peak of the Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar that we shared with you over the weekend? Did you like the fact that Jordan Brand is crossing over to the sport of soccer by coming with an Air Jordan 5 inspired by one of today’s best soccer player?

The Neymar inspired Air Jordan 5 Low most notable feature is definitely the 3M reflective silver treatment placed all over of the upper. Adding another dimension to the shoe are the black speckles placed throughout the shoe. In addition to the boldness of the shoe, the Air Jordan 5 Low will also come with black accents found on the midsole, side panel netting, eyelets, laces and tongue. There is also some color on the shoe as infrared hits are placed on the lace-lock, inside of the tongue and parts of the outsole. Lastly, Neymar is recognized on the shoe as his jersey number (10) is stitched on the heel of one of the two shoes, while the customary 23 is placed on the other. What are your thoughts on the shoe? Are you looking forward to the release?

Author’s Take

The 3M Cement upper is definitely the star of the shoe. Although I?m not a soccer fan, I do know who Neymar is so it?s cool to see a player from another sport gets recognized by Jordan Brand. The personalized hits are also really cool. Can?t wait to see the rest of the shoe.

Last week we provided you with a leaked zoomed-in image of the Air Jordan 9 Low Pantone that you see above. Today we get a much better look at what the entire shoe is going to look like.

As you can see by these new images, the Air Jordan 9 Low comes in a Carolina Blue leather and suede that takes care of the entire upper. Adding to the tonal look of the shoe are the laces and Jumpman branding on the midsole. The shoe also has hits of black placed on the inner lining as well as on the heel of the shoe. Giving the shoe a bold and classic look is the all-white midsole. No word yet on when these will release, but be sure to let us know what you think about the shoe now that you got your first good look at it.

Author’s Take

I don’t really like Pantone-colored Jordans. While this is an Air Jordan that I don’t mind seeing in low-top form, I’d much rather get a different colorway of the shoe.

Last night, the Milwaukee Bucks were victorious over the Miami Heat 114-108. Jabari Parker of the Bucks finished the game with 23 points which definitely helped put his team on the winning side. Parker managed to do this while wearing a pretty dope Air Jordan 12 PE. Done up in a white and dark green colorway inspired by the team he plays for, Parker’s PE was a thing of beauty. Further adding to the Bucks theme are the small red accents found throughout the shoe. Is this the best Air Jordan PE we’ve seen all year? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Quick question, is this colorway better than the upcoming Air Jordan 12 French Blue release?

Author’s Take

It’s a really great colorway on the Air Jordan 12, and I don’t even consider myself a fan of green sneakers. The shade of green is pretty clean and it meshes well with the all-white upper.

This weekend, the Air Jordan 5 Low “Fire Red” will arrive at retailers exuding a certain OG aesthetic even though the pair has never released before. That’s because the “Fire Red” colorway was such an iconic color selection when it arrived on the Air Jordan 5 back in 1990 that it’s translated over to the low top variety of the silhouette. Sure, there are some differences in this version ranging from the black side panel mesh to the lack of ’23’ PE branding, but with releases like the “Alternate” and this upcoming “Fire Red”, Jordan Brand is showing that traditional Chicago homages can still hold an interest. Check out more detailed photos below and pick up this Air Jordan 5 Low today from Stadium Goods.

An Air Jordan Player Exclusive set ain’t complete without the school that MJ hailed from. The UNC Tar Heels will take March Madness head-on with some awesome PE colorways of the Air Jordan 2 Low Retro as well as the newly unveiled Air Jordan 30, both adorned with classic Tar Heel blue and the iconic NC logos and argyle prints adorning the shoes. Like the other college PEs that we previewed over the last 24 hours, these Air Jordan exclusives won’t ever hit retail (or at least that’s what we’ve been told). Flip through the gallery below and stay tuned for one final detailed look at California’s PE collection.

Easily the hottest Air Jordan on the NBA court so far this year, last night Jabari Parker broke out a brand new pair of Air Jordan 12 PE’s in the white and dark green colors of his Bucks squad. While new to Jabari, a very similar colorway hit the court over ten years ago on the feet of the master of Air Jordan player exclusives, Ray Allen. Sugar Ray rocked the same white and green 12’s way back in 2004 as a member of the Seattle Sonics. Jabari’s new pair does have one difference, though, the addition of a few hits of red accents. Compare the two PE’s here, and let us know if you’d like to see the white and green Air Jordan 12 colorway hit retail.

If Russell Westbrook continues to have 20 assist games, we’re not sure even the Warriors could stop the Thunder. Of course the OKC star won’t rack up twenty-plus dimes a game, but his crazy statline of 25, 20, and 11 isn’t far off from what he produces on a nightly basis and that’s one reason why OKC is a legitimate championship contender regardless of Golden State’s and even San Antonio’s record-breaking season. Last night, Jordan Brand blessed its star athlete with yet another Air Jordan XXX PE which features an all-black upper and a blue toe-box, all topped off by the RW logo on the tongue. Don’t expect these to release, but expect Westbrook to whip out PE after PE of the all-new Jordan 30. More photos just ahead.

Just like one of the original colorways of the Air Jordan 9, this upcoming loe-top retro goes back to Michael Jordan’s college days with a North Carolina inspired colorway. Nicknamed “Pantone” due to its similarities to the Air Jordan 11 colorway of the same name, the Air Jordan 9 Low sports an all Carolina blue upper with black accents and a solid white sole for a reversed take on the classic Powder Blue colorway. Get your first look at the upcoming Air Jordan 9 Low, and stay tuned for further release information.

The Big East Tournament continues to on as Marquette is currently battling it out with St. John’s University for survival. The Jordan Brand-outfitted school has laced up the roster with some dope Air Jordan XXX and Air Jordan 2 Low PEs adorned with the signature school colors of navy, university blue, and bright yellow. Will we continues to see these on feet, or will Marquette’s road to the Big East ‘ship and more importantly the Big Dance come to an end soon? Peep these exclusive images below and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more looks at Jordan PEs for March Madness.

Releasing this Spring will be a new colorway of the Air Jordan 9 Low that should garner some attention thanks to the colors used on the shoe.

This Air Jordan 9 Low comes dressed in a Black leather upper that switches off between smooth leather on the majority of the upper and a textured faux snakeskin on the mudguard and heel. Providing some contrast are a White outsole and Gym Red accents on the inner liner, and the branding on the tongue, heel and midsole. Since this is a low-top it will be a shoe that should get some heavy run this Spring and Summer so it’ll be interesting to see how sneakerheads react to it when it does release.

Dropping on April 16th for a retail price of $170, is this a cop or a drop for you? Also make sure you visit our Air Jordan 9 Low Black / White launch page for additional images, videos, and other updates.

Author’s Take

I don’t really mess with the original Air Jordan 9 so a low-top version doesn’t even make me look twice. The colorway is decent but Jordan Brand should have made this a mid.

Jordan Brand will slow things down considerably with releases this weekend in comparison to everything they dropped last week. Arriving on Saturday is the low-top version of one of the most beloved colorways of the Air Jordan 5 ever.

The OG Air Jordan 5 Fire Red will be dropping this weekend but in low-top form making it perfect for the upcoming Spring and Summer seasons. This Air Jordan 5 Low comes dressed in a White leather upper with vibrant Fire Red detailing on the midsole, inner liner, and the Jumpman logo on the tongue. Hits of Black then appear on the tongue, midsole, side panel mesh netting and the Jumpman logos on the heel to complete the classic Chicago Bulls color scheme. Wrapping things up is an icy blue translucent outsole.

You can scoop up your pair on March 12th for a retail price of $175. Make sure to visit our Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red launch page for additional images, video and other important updates regarding this release.

Author’s Take

The original mid version of the Air Jordan 5 is one of my favorite Jordan Brand silhouettes, but the low-top version just looks like an experiment gone wrong to me. These are an easy pass in my book.

Releasing in a little over two weeks will be the Air Jordan 12 French Blue. The beloved colorway of Michael Jordan’s 12th signature will be getting the retro treatment for the first time since its debut back in 2005.

Looking at this 2016 version of the Air Jordan 12 French Blue we can see that the sneaker is covered a premium White tumbled leather throughout the majority of the upper with French Blue detailing on the mudguard, outsole, heel and branding. There has also been some minor red detailing on the heel tab strip on the “23” that appears on the heel and on the carbon fiber outsole.

You will be able to purchase a pair when they hit retailers one day before Easter on March 26, 2016 for a retail price of $190. Make sure to visit our Air Jordan 12 French Blue 2016 launch page for additional images, videos and other updates.

The Air Jordan 12 is one of the silhouettes I’m missing from my collection and this French Blue colorway is definitely on my must-cop list for 2016. I can’t wait to get my hands on these beauties.
