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?

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.

Author?s Take

I don?t really mess with the original Air Jordan 9 so a low-top version doesn?t make me look twice. The colorway is decent but Jordan Brand should have made this a mid.

New York Knicks fans don’t really have much to cheer for these days. Having been saddled with mediocrity for the past several years now, it’s hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but with the emergence of rookie phenom Kristaps Porzingis, there is hope yet for the one of the greatest basketball cities in the world. Jordan Brand is sharing in the optimism – or trolling depending on who you ask – with the upcoming release of the Air Jordan 5 Low Knicks, a new colorway that is perfect for the blue and orange style of the Big Apple. Will you be rocking the Knicks 5 with your Porizingis jersey? Chances are we’ll be seeing more of that combination this summer than any other Knicks player.

The last Tinker Hatfield-designed Air Jordan of Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls reign is indeed the Air Jordan XV, a radically designed sneaker that took cues from fighter plans and made use of woven uppers. Originally releasing in 1999/2000, the Air Jordan 15 doesn’t quite hold the esteem as earlier Tinker-penned designs, but it did mark another Player Exclusive era for Jordan Brand. The Air Jordan 15 has never been re-released with the exception of the Jordan Flight Club release in 2007 and the Countdown Pack release in 2008, but it looks like the fifteenth Air Jordan in the legacy is set for a return in Spring 2017. Your thoughts on this Air Jordan model?
