The Spring season is almost here which means it’s time to bring out all of our low-top sneakers out of storage and let them enjoy the sunshine and fresh breeze.

Jordan Brand will be kicking off the Spring season with a classic colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Low OG. Dubbed the White/Midnight Navy colorway, this Air Jordan 1 Low OG comes dressed in a White leather upper with Midnight Navy detailing on the Swoosh, inner liner, heel tab, outsole and the classic Nike Air branding on the tongue. There’s not much else to say about this shoe other than it’s a very solid colorway that you’ll be able to rock all throughout the Spring and Summer.

Look for the Air Jordan 1 Low OG White/Midnight Navy at select Jordan Brand retailers on March 19th for a retail price of $130.

There?s only a handful of Air Jordan 1 Lows that really catch my eye that I would even consider buying. Unfortunately this isn?t one of them. Clean and simple colorway buy just not for me.

When we got a first look at this upcoming colorway of the Air Jordan 4 last year the thing that most people were talking about was the fact that it had a gum outsole. Gum outsoles on an Air Jordan 4, or really any retro, is not something that we see very much and Jordan Brand did a great job using it on this Air Jordan 4.

Making its debut next week as a part of the Dunk From Above collection that also featured an Air Jordan 5 Low, this colorway of the Air Jordan 4 utilizes a Midnight Navy premium leather upper with Varsity Maize detailing on the waffle eyelets, inner liner, and the Jumpman branding on the tongue. Contrasting hits of White then land on the midsole, tongue and side panel mesh netting and the Jumpman on the heel. And of course the icing on the cake is the gum outsole that gives a unique and classic look to this Air Jordan 4.

Arriving at select Jordan Brand retailers on March 19th for a retail price of $190, will this be a cop or a drop for you? Make sure to check out our Air Jordan 4 Dunk From Above launch page for additional images, video and other updates regarding this release.

Author’s Take

Easily one of the best retros that I’ve seen in 2016. I would pick up a pair but I’d rather save my money and spend it on the French Blue 12s that drop a week later.

Author’s Take

Looks a lot like the Air Jordan 10 OVO just without the stingray detailing. Will that be the only reason that these sit on shelves and the OVOs don?t? If you like the OVO 10s I don’t see why you would not like these, unless you’re some kind of Drake Stan or something.

The shoe appears to be growing on my, but it hasn’t grown enough to make me want to drop $250 on them.

Georgetown Also Receives PE Colorways Of The Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX

Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX Georgetown 1 Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX Georgetown 2 Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX Georgetown 3 Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX Georgetown 4 Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX Georgetown 5 Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX Georgetown 6 Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX Georgetown 7 Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX Georgetown 8

We already saw that Marquette was given PE colorways of the Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX, and now we can add the Georgetown Hoyas to that list.

With March Madness kicking off next week, Jordan Brand has laced up Georgetown with team-based colorways of the Air Jordan 2 Low and the Air Jordan XXX. Each silhouette is dressed up in a combination of grey, navy and cream with the Air Jordan 2 having the Georgetown school logo placed on the tongue for the PE touch. Both pairs have also been hit with icy blue outsoles for a modern lifestyle look. The Air Jordan 2 also features the team’s print on the mudguard and the inner liner for a unique look.

So which pair do you like better, the Air Jordan 2 Low or the Air Jordan XXX? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments below.

Author’s Take

Out of all of the PE colorways that were created of the Air Jordan 2 Low and the Air Jordan XXX these would have to be my favorite. The colors used on both pairs are real nice and the print on the pair of 2s gives it a really unique look.

Marquette University and Georgetown have already received their PE colorways of the Air Jordan XXX and Air Jordan 2 Low and you know Jordan Brand wasn’t gonna forget about Michael Jordan’s alma mater.

The North Carolina Tar Heels are constantly receiving PE colorways of many Air Jordan silhouettes so it should be no surprise to see them get their own Air Jordan 2 Low and Air Jordan XXX. The Air Jordan 2 Low opts for a full Carolina Blue upper with UNC print on the inner liner and the team logo on the tongue. Next we have the Air Jordan XXX which features a gradient look on the upper that features White, Carolina Blue and Navy blue towards the heel.

Which pair would you rather have in your collection? Let us know down in the comments below.

Author’s Take

Jordan Brand should have released this colorway of the Air Jordan XXX to the public instead of this one. Whether you’re a fan of North Carolina or not I’m sure that many people are fans of both of these colorways.

Only A Few Days Left Before The Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red Arrives

AIR JORDAN 5 LOW FIRE RED 1 AIR JORDAN 5 LOW FIRE RED 2 AIR JORDAN 5 LOW FIRE RED 3 AIR JORDAN 5 LOW FIRE RED 4

Who’s ready for the Air Jordan 5 Low Fire Red release? Set to release this weekend, today we take one of the last looks of the latest colorway to drop on the low-top version of the Air Jordan 5 Low.

This shoe is almost identical the Air Jordan 5 Black Tongue. The only major and noticeable difference is the color of the netting. Instead of coming in clear fashion, the low-top paints the netting black. Everything else appears to remain the same. A white leather upper is contrasted by the black and red hits placed on the midsole, tongue and lining. Jumpman branding appears on the heel and tongue. The outsole is done in an icy translucent fashion to complete the major parts of the shoe. Releasing March 12th for $175, are you looking to pick up a pair?

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

One of the best colorways of the Air Jordan 5 Low, but still not good enough to make me want a pair. The only cop I would cop would possibly a Air Jordan 5 Low in a Laney colorway if Jordan Brand ever decides to make a pair.

March Madness is right around the corner and Jordan Brand is hooking up a handful of their schools with PE colorways of the Air Jordan XXX and Air Jordan 2 Low with one of those schools being Marquette University.

It obvious why they chose to create and Air Jordan XXX, but it’s still not too clear why JB decided to include and Air Jordan 2 Low in the collection instead of something more popular. Looking at both silhouettes above we can see that the Air Jordan XXX and Air Jordan 2 are dressed from head to toe in Marquette University colors that include a few different shades of blue, gold and white.

Are you a fan of the Air Jordan XXX or the Air Jordan 2 Low? Let us know in the comments below.

Author’s Take

I like the navy blue and gold accents, but I’m just not a fan of Carolina/University Blue. I’m sure both of these pairs look dope when you rock them with the Marquette jerseys.

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.

We May Be Seeing The Return Of The White and Red Air Jordan 11 Low

Air Jordan 11 Low 1 Air Jordan 11 Low 2 Air Jordan 11 Low 3 Air Jordan 11 Low 4 Air Jordan 11 Low 5 Air Jordan 11 Low 6

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.

Author’s Take

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.

Another Colorway Of The Air Jordan 12 Will Be Releasing In 2016

Air Jordan 12 1 Air Jordan 12 2 Air Jordan 12 3 Air Jordan 12 4

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.

Another Look At The Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar

Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar 1 Air Jordan 5 Low Neymar 2

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.

Our First Good Look At The Air Jordan 9 Low Pantone

AIR JORDAN 9 LOW PANTONE 1 AIR JORDAN 9 LOW PANTONE 2

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.

Did You Catch Jabari Parkers Air Jordan 12 PE Last Night

JABARI PARKER?S AIR JORDAN 12 PE 1 JABARI PARKER?S AIR JORDAN 12 PE 2

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?

via: sneakers_on_court, bucks


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.
