While we patiently wait for a couple more Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low collabs that are set to drop later on this year, that latest rumor going around the internet suggests that a Travis Scott x Air Jordan 7 collaboration is set to debut next year.

Being that it’s currently just a rumor, not much info surrounding the potential Travis Scott x Air Jordan 7 release is currently available. That said, if the rumor is in fact true, expect more release info and first looks to begin surfacing in the near future. Who’s excited for an Air Jordan 7 with some Travis Scott influence to it?

In Nike news, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Los Angeles drops on September 15th.

Paying tribute to Zion Williamson’s time with the Duke Blue Devils, here are official image of the Jordan Zion 2 Hyper Royal.

Done in a Hyper Royal, White, and Black color scheme, this new colorway of the Jordan Zion 2 comes dressed in the school colors of Zion’s alma mater. This pair opts for a construction utilizing a mix of textile materials along with cracked elephant print on the quarter overlay. Other details include the ?Zoom Air? branded forefoot strap, as well as some some personal branding on the tongues, insoles and carved into the toe of the outsole. An all-new strobel unit in the midsole is also a new detail worth mentioning on the model.

Retailing for $120, look for the Jordan Zion 2 Hyper Royal to release soon at select retailers and Nike.com. For a complete guide including official photos, release dates, pricing and where to buy, visit: Jordan Zion 2 Hyper Royal.

In Nike news, the Nike Air Force 1 Low Los Angeles drops on September 15th.

We’re not going to lie to you. Put a Union logo somewhere on these sneakers and we’d 100% believe you if you told us that this Air Jordan 1 Low is a collaboration with Union. That fact of the matter is that it’s actually not a Union collab and just a clean in-house colorway of the model the Jordan Brand has just unveiled.

Heavy with the Union inspiration, this new iteration of the Air Jordan 1 Low is highlighted by its split-colored color blocking, exposed foam tongues, aged midsoles, Off-White laces and textured Swooshes. Mix all those features together and you’ve got something that many would think would be linked to Union. Done in a White, Grey and Blue color scheme, taking a closer look you will find Yellow Wings on the heels, Jumpman branding on the tongues and a mixed material construction.

This Air Jordan 1 Low does not have an official release date, but we hope one is announced in the coming weeks. Retail is set at $110. Cop or drop? For a complete guide including official photos, release dates, pricing and where to buy, visit: Air Jordan 1 Low White Grey Blue.

Recently previewed in Rose Velvet, we not give you an official look at the Jordan Series 01 in Gold Velvet.

The Jordan Series 01 made its debut last year as part of Jordan Brand’s lifestyle division. Past colorways of the model  have paid tribute to MJ’s family members, with one colorway even paying homage to the time Jordan spent playing for the Birmingham Barons. While this new colorway appears to not have a direct inspiration, it does not lack in the “head-turning” department. Looking to cause some double take, this new iteration of the Jordan Series 01 features a full Gold velvet base with matching mesh tongues and lining. Other defining details include flat satin laces, the ?Jordan Series? branding on the lateral and tongues and a White tongue tag housing a small Red Jumpman. A White midsole housing another Gold Jumpman and Gold rubber outsole round out the main features of the sneaker.

Retailing for $80, look for the Jordan Series 01 Gold Velvet to release in the coming weeks at select retailers and Nike.com. Stay tuned for an official release date. For a complete guide including official photos, release dates, pricing and where to buy, visit: Jordan Series 01 Gold Velvet.

In Nike news, the Supreme x Nike SB Blazer Mid Industrial Blue debuts tomorrow.

Details include a Black nubuck upper paired with Metallic Silver detailing atop a translucent outsole. In other words, the Air Jordan 6 Metallic Silver is essentially a mid-top version of the Air Jordan 6 Low Chrome which released way back in 2015.

For those of you that are looking forward to this release, current sources suggest that the Air Jordan 6 Metallic Silver will release on October 15th at select retailers and Nike.com for the retail price of $200.

Taking on the traditional canvas construction throughout the majority of the upper, this Air Jordan 1 KO gets covered in White on the base of the shoe along with grey placed on the overlays. Next we see the addition of leather on the black Swooshes on the side panels as well as on the ankle collar. More black branding throughout the shoe, a foam collar, a white midsole, and a cream-like rubber outsole finish off the look on this Air Jordan 1 KO that will be releasing on July 16th for $140.

Turn heads in the AJKO 1. Without giving away any design secrets (we like a little mystery), it repackages MJ’s first icon using a mix of synthetic leather and canvas. With a decidedly relaxed look, fresh Black and White color theme, and connection to the ’85 original, these kicks will earn nods of approval from longtime fans and brand new sneakerheads alike.

Another Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG collab is on the way and this one appears to be made exclusively for the women.

Simply known as the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG WMNS Sail Black, this new women?s exclusive colorway has yet to leak but it is expected to come dressed in a a mix of Sail and Black hues. As per usual, the sneaker will feature signature Travis Scott details that include an oversized backward Swoosh on the lateral, as well as some ?Cactus Jack? branding on the tongue, medial panel and sockliner. You can also expect the Air Jordan Wings logo on the right heel and Scott?s crudely drawn face on the left heel. Below you will find a mockup by zsneakerheadz to give you an idea of what to expect.
