The Air Jordan 16 Midnight Navy Has Been Confirmed To Get The Retro Treatment
By SoleInsider
For quite some time now there’s been rumors circulating that the Air Jordan 16 Midnight Navy could possibly be getting the retro treatment somewhere down the line. We now have reports from a retail source saying that the shoe you see above is in fact scheduled to get the retro treatment for the first time ever.
The Air Jordan 16 originally released back in 2001. The last time we saw any kind of version of the shoe was when the black pair released as a part of the CDP in which is got paired up with the Air Jordan 7 back in 2008. Fun fact about the shoe, it was also the first Air Jordan since the Air Jordan 3 that was not designed by Tinker Hatfield. No word yet on when the shoe will release, but we’re almost sure that it will do so before the year ends. Are you a fan of shroud-equipped Air Jordan 16? Let us know if you plan on picking up a pair once these end up releasing.
Scheduled to release in the month of May is the Chicago colorway of the Air Jordan 10 from Jordan Brand’s upcoming City Pack.
Today we have new images to show you of the Air Jordan 10 Chicago Flag that happens to be inspired by the flag of Chicago. White leather covers the majority of the upper with University Blue and Bright Crimson detailing landing on the laces, tongue, eyestay, outsole, heel tab and branding. A black outsole wraps things up along with ?CHI? written by the ankle in Bright Crimson and Black.
So far we’ve only gotten a look at the Chicago and NYC pairs, which one do you like better from the two? Let us know down below and be sure to check out our Air Jordan 10 Chicago Flag launch page for the latest up-to-the-minute updates.
The only reason I would pick up this pair of 10s is if I were from the city of Chicago or lived there because the inspiration/theme looks to be on point. But since I don?t these are a pass for me.
Pure Platinum Yeezy and Wu-Tang Clan Foamposites Are On The Way
According to Spike Lee there was only one pair of existence, so either Spike Lee wasn’t aware that there’s more pairs or he let someone borrow his pair to take these new shots of them. This Air Jordan 6 features a gold leafed upper with a translucent tongue, outsole and heel tabs. As you can see in the photo the see-through tongue and outsole have also been hit with gold speckling to go along with the ?Oscars? theme.
What are your thoughts on the Air Jordan 6 Gold Oscars PE now that you have a better look at them?
Definitely a nice colorway of the Air Jordan 6 but this is more of a collector’s piece to me that you display on your shelf like a trophy and not something you wear on your feet.

The Jordan Brand holiday season is going to be lit and it’s barely February. With Jordan Brand already announcing the return of the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam as well as the Air Jordan 3 True Blue OG, there’s no denying that Jordan Brand is playing no games this holiday season. Want more? Add in the first ever girls-exclusive Air Jordan 11 Mid to the calendar.
J23app just let it be known that the first ever girls-only Air Jordan 11 Mid will be releasing in December. Sure, we’ve seen girl colorways on the Air Jordan 11 Low, but never on a mid. No word on what the colorway will be on the shoe, but here’s to hoping that it’s a color that the men can also wear. Keep it locked for more updates regarding this future release.

Chris Paul And Allyson Felix Bring Out Jordan Heaters To Bowl In
By SoleInsider
I don’t know about you, but every time I go bowling, the bowling alley makes me tak off my shoes and wear some of their generic three-toned bowling shoes. I guess Chris Paul and Allyson Felix don’t necessarily have to follow that rule as they were recently spotted wear some Jordam Brand heaters during a bowling event.
During yesterday’s CP3 PBA Celebrity Invitational hosted by Chris Paul, he along with Allison Felix decided to bring out some pretty dope kicks that none us get to see on a daily basis. Paul opted to go with the Jordan CP3.IX Blue Suede reserved for only friends and family, while Allyson Felix made sure she broke necks as she chose to wear the elusive Air Jordan 5 Tokyo23. Yea, it’s safe to say that both of them killed it when it comes to the sneaker part of the game.

Sneaker Artist, Shannon Favia Uses Her Air Jordans As Her Canvas
By SoleInsider
Shannon Favia is an artist known for her pop art sneaker paintings. Her unique style is easily recognized every time you see it on a canvas. She’s been able to share her artwork with the world and has even managed to share it with NBA stars such as Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler. For her latest creation, she’s trying something new. Instead of doing a painting of a sneaker, she actually painted on her sneakers. The end result is another Shannon Favia classic!
Shannon Favia let it be known that she only owns one pair of Air Jordans. With that being the case, she decided to give her only pair a of one-of-a-kind look! Using the same style she’s known to utilize on her paintings, Favia went to work on her Air Jordan 1s covering the sneakers in an array of colors in a freestyle manner that helped put her on the map. Check out the images of the custom Air Jordan 1 above and let us know what you think.
#TheGamePlan By Champs Sports: Feel The Excellence Of The Air Jordan 12 The Master Collection
By SoleInsider
Black, white and gold. These are the colors of excellence. They symbolize winning at the highest level and a mastery of a craft that many strive for, but few ever achieve. Michael Jordan is The Master of the court and in this edition of The Game Plan by Champs Sports, we take a look at his latest retro release, the Air Jordan 12 The Master. Featuring a rich black leather upper and mudguard mixed with white and gold accents, the shoe pays homage to an Air Jordan 12 poster that features Jordan doing what he does best. The sneaker is one of the most highly anticipated retro drops of the year so of course Champs has you covered with Jordan Brand gear that also uses the same color scheme for that perfect fit. Check out the Air Jordan 12 The Master collection at Champs Sports online or using our store locator and don’t forget to read up on all the latest news and trends at the Champs blog, TheDrop.
The popular black and red colorway of the Air Jordan 12 will be releasing on May 28, 2016. This colorway has been dubbed Flu Game due to the time that MJ wore them during Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz. Michael put up 38 points and lead his team to a victory while suffering ?flu-like symptoms.? There’s no word yet on whether they’ll be composed of leather or nubuck yet, but since Jordan Brand is continuing their remastered initiative we expect them to be done in leather like the original.
Andres Carrillo, News: Another colorway of the Air Jordan 12 that I’m excited to get my hands on. The Air Jordan 12 is gonna leave a big dent in my wallet this year, but what can we do right?
Jordan Brand Gives The People What They Want This Holiday Season For A Price
By SoleInsider
One way or another I’m going to end 2016 crossing two retros I’ve waited a long time for off my list. On Black Friday, the Black/CementTrue Blue Air Jordan 3 will have sneakerheads camping out outside of malls across America as the beloved classic returns with the much-desired “Nike Air” branding. Meanwhile, our annual Christmas Air Jordan 11 is going to be the big one as the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam has now been confirmed to be making a comeback right on time for its 20th anniversary. Needless to say if things fall into place, 2016 is going to be 30th anniversary of Jordan Brand that we should have gotten in 2015.
But at what cost? Jordan Brand increased production, quality and price of retros across the board in 2015, using classics like the Air Jordan 8 Aqua, obscure gems like the Air Jordan 6 Maroon and a new Air Jordan 11 colorway as test cases for what the market will support. The results were clear; people will buy retros at a higher price, but Jordan Brand can’t get away with releasing just any colorway they can crap out anymore if they want immediate sell-outs like the halcyon days of 2010 through 2014. Drop the right colorway, like the Air Jordan 4 White/Cement and give it “Nike Air” and you will move units in the hundreds of thousands, possibly millions. Meanwhile, a Maroon 6 will languish in stores waiting for somebody to inevitably bite or for a price drop to happen. So Jordan Brand is going for the sure sure things this holiday season.
True Blue 3s and Space Jam 11s for the holidays. Guess Jordan ain't playing around this year. You ready?
Right now, general release retros are going for $190 with “Nike Air” branding apparently worth a $30 premium. Assuming things don’t change between now and the Holidays, that’s $220 for the Air Jordan 3 True Blue and that doesn’t even include taxes. As for the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam, expect to pay a little bit more than the $220 you did for last year’s Air Jordan 11 72-10, which went up from 2014’s Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue that was priced at $200, which was an increase from the $185 price tag of 2013’s Air Jordan 11 Gamma Blue. See the trend? So it’s possible you could be looking at $240 or maybe $250 even for the Space Jams before taxes. That’s nearly $500 for two retros and you have to “work” twice as hard to get them and they won’t come in a special box like a retro pack would. And we’re all going to buy them because we’re suckers fans. It’s the price we pay to stay in this sneaker game. Save for this weekend’s Air Jordan 12 The Master and the Flu Game 12s, I can see myself not really buying too many kicks between now and Thanksgiving just to both save up money (not really a problem) and patience (little problem), energy (actual problem) and good will to connects (biggest problem).
Yay?
While I am glad that the Air Jordan 11 Space Jam is returning, there’s still the issue of the Air Jordan 3 making an all-too-soon comeback. If you’ll recall, Jordan Brand’s David Schechter said towards the end of 2014 that the 3 would be “going back in the vault.” In my mind, going back in the vault means that we won’t be seeing a new retail release for at least a minimum of five years. But then we started hearing rumors of an Air Jordan 3 and Air Jordan 8 pack that pays homage to Kobe Bryant’s career which turned out to be true, although the talk of that pack eventually dropping at retail hasn’t slowed down. There was the Air Jordan 3 Black/Cement at the Air Jordan XXX launch that looked way too new and clean to be the 2001 retro. And now word of the True Blue making a return is all but confirmed with the only thing missing is a leaked sample. Not that we’re saying the Jumpman is being a little disingenuous when they claim something is going away for a while, but maybe their definition of “going back in the vault” could use a little clarity.
Needless to say, this Holiday season is going to be a very busy time for sneakerheads. Actually, we always say that, but this one might top all of the previous seasons that came before. Two certified classics dropping in the same year? You could say that 2011’s Air Jordan 3 Black/Cement and Air Jordan 11 Concord combo or 2012’s Air Jordan 4 Playoffs and Air Jordan 11 Playoffs two-fer were better, but their Black Friday releases didn’t have “Nike Air” branding. The True Blue will more than likely have it. But what if it’s not the True Blue 3s that we have to worry about? What if it’s something else we weren’t expecting at all?
Just so everyone knows, the Space Jam XI that is releasing in December won't be identical to the original.
