Detailed Images Of The Air Jordan 1 High Wings That Will Be Limited To Only 19,400 Pairs

We’ve already gotten a couple different looks at the Air Jordan 1 High Wings, but we now bring you the best and most detailed images to date which suggest that a retail release is not too far off.

Utilizing the same theme/concept as the Air Jordan 12 Wings that released last year and became an instant hit, this new colorway of the Air Jordan 1 High utilizes a premium leather construction throughout the upper in gold and black with special leather laces. Other important details include the Jordan Wings logo placed on the tongue, the gold metal wings on the heel, and the golden wings pattern on the insoles and icy blue outsoles which also reads “WINGS.” The inside of the tongue indicates that the shoe will only be limited to 19,400 pairs and also has the words “EVERYONE CAN FLY.”

Still no release date, but look for the Air Jordan 1 High Wings to release some time in the Summer of 2017. As always, we’ll keep you updated here at Kicks On Fire.

This Air Jordan 11 Golf PE For Michael Jordan Is Up For Sale


Remember that awesome Air Jordan 11 Low “Concord” Golf Cleat that Dez Bryant showed off back in March? Jordan Brand continues to bring the heat in the golfing category with announcements that the Air Jordan 13 Golf will release later this month. Today we get a look at another Jordan 11 Low Golf Shoe sample that’s available on eBay today, but that’s only if you truly have that country club money and want to shell out $3,000 USD for a chance to own them. It makes a little more sense given that this pair was actually made for His Airness himself, as the sample promotional box was meant for Michael Jordan in his size 13. The pair features the normal Cordura mesh fabric upper and a matching white patent leather mudguard while an icy finish adorns the spiked outsole. Jordan Brand even added an additional Jumpman to the tongue which is a nice touch. Check out more detailed shots below and grab your pair on eBay.

The Air Jordan 1 Wings Is Limited To 19,400 Pairs


Jordan Brand surprised everyone with the premium nature of the Air Jordan 12 “Wings”, and it was no surprise that the offering was limited to just 12,000 pairs given the exclusive underlying ‘Wings’ pattern that you could showcase by scratching off the layer of black paint. The same will be the case for the upcoming Air Jordan 1 “Wings” in terms of availability, as pairs will be individually numbered to 19,400. The Air Jordan 1 Wings benefits from a pre-faded copper leather color with black piping and a luxurious gold heel addition inspired by the iconic Air Jordan ‘Wings’ poster from 1989. There’s even unique square-cut boot laces for an added touch with a dark icy blue outsole printed with ‘Wings’ underneath. Check out more detailed images of the coming Air Jordan 1 “Wings” below and stay tuned for a Release Date right here on Sneaker News.

Up Close And Personal With The Air Jordan 4 Pure Money

If we had to pick an all-white sneaker that is destined to dominate the Summer of 2017 it would be tough to argue against the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money.

Making its return this weekend, this heavenly colorway of the Air Jordan 4 features an all-white buttery leather with accompanying leather detailing on the signature wings straps on the ankle. In addition to the white leather upper we also see white mesh side panels, a white midsole, and Pure Platinum on the tongue patch and outsole. The highlights of this shoe have to be the chrome that hits the waffle eyelets and the Jumpman on the heel. Oh yeah, and how can we forget about the “PURE$” on the inside of the heel tab? Classic! You can cop the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money on May 13th for a retail price of $190.

San Antonio Spurs Equipment Manager Says Kawhi Wears New Jordans Every Four Games

Every NBA player’s footwear preferences are different. In an interview with Express News, San Antonio Spurs equipment manager Travis Wade revealed some of the Spurs’ players seasonal rotations vary greatly depending on their position and status within the team. Kawhi Leonard has been rocking the Air Jordan 31 throughout the season in a number of his ‘The Claw’ themed player exclusives, and according to Wade, Kawhi usually needs a new pair every 4th game. Leonard isn’t the type of player to demand new shoes either, it’s just that his high-intensity level of play usually beats up his Jordan 31s within the span of four games. Other callouts from the article include how Tim Duncan played in the same pair of shoes until the laces ripped and Manu Ginobili can wear a pair up to half of the season. Check out the full story here and stay tuned to see what Kawhi laces up tonight in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals against the Houston Rockets.

Pricing Information For The Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Arctic Orange

Earlier this week Don C and Jordan Brand officially unveiled the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Arctic Orange that will be releasing this weekend. Many people were left with a sour taste in their mouth when it was confirmed that the shoe would only be releasing in grade school, pre-school and toddler sizes. The reason for this is because the past Just Don x Air Jordan 2 releases only released in men’s sizes, so Just Don wanted to make a drop exclusively for them this time around, specifically his family.

So now that we know who will be able to cop and fit into a pair, let’s break down the pricing. Grade School will retail for $350, Preschool for $200, and Toddler for $150. SO there you have it. Good luck grabbing a pair on Saturday, May 13th.

Jordan Brand Signs Their First Chinese Basketball Player, Guo Ailun

In conjunction with Jordan Brand?s 20th anniversary of entering Greater China, the brand has signed its first Chinese basketball player, Guo Ailun.

?We?re excited to welcome Guo to the Jordan Family,? Michael Jordan said. ?From his competitive spirit and style of play on the court to his strong personality off the court, he?s a great fit for the brand. We look forward to Guo representing the game, Jordan Brand, and ultimately himself in Greater China.?

An outstanding representative of China?s new generation of basketball players, Ailun has shown great potential and earned numerous accolades. His team honors include the 2009 FIBA Asia Under-16 and 2015 FIBA Asia titles, and the 2015?16 China basketball season regular season championship. Additionally, he was the leading scorer of the 2010 Under-17 World Championship team.

“Joining the Jordan Brand family is a dream come true,” says Guo, ?I?ve visualized playing like MJ since I was a kid ? from managing the game and leading my team to a championship. It is an honor to be the first Jordan Brand athlete in China and I am thrilled to bring my love of the game to the brand.?

As a Jordan Brand athlete, Ailun will participate in the brand?s Wings community program, contributing to community development in China and inspiring the next generation to strive for greatness.

The Game Supports Lonzo Balls $495 Shoe, Criticizes Michael Jordan

the-game-supports-lonzo-ball-sneakers

The Game is one of the numerous high profile celebrities to support Lonzo and Lavar Ball’s independent sneaker brand, Big Baller Brand, and his recently announced ZO2 model. The shoes go for $495 USD and are marketed as a luxury item thanks to the faux-python upper and a cushioning system that’s definitely inspired by Boost on the midsole unit, but the way the shoe looks isn’t usually the reason that people are supporting the Ball family. The Game explained that he’s spent over $1 million on Nike and Jordan products over the years and thinks it’s funny that people will easily pay upwards of $400 for Gucci flip flops but turn around and complain when an unestablished brand that’s family run tries to do the same. The rapper also announced that he’ll be buying 10 more pairs for kids who can’t afford them. He makes some interesting points including being critical of Michael Jordan’s involvement in the black community over the years. Here’s what he said:

I also think about all these $500 duplicate Jordans niggas out here going broke & dying over just trying to keep up with Jones’s…. While MJ, as much as I love & support him & his legacy ain’t really ever did much for the black community other then tax our mothafuckin’ ass for the same shoes over & over as well as charge these kids parents hella money to get in these camps.

At the same time, it’s not like the Ball family is making the Big Baller Brand Z02s any more affordable for kids that will look up to Lonzo once he’s drafted in this year’s NBA Draft which was the main reason why The Game was being somewhat critical of MJ and Jordan Brand in the first place. Check out the full Instagram post below and stay tuned for more updates on the Big Baller Brand’s attempt to make waves in the sneaker industry right here on Sneaker News.

This signing comes as part of the brand’s 20th Anniversary celebration of its entrance into the Chinese market, which considers basketball its most popular sport.

Michael Jordan even dropped a message for Guo as part of the official introduction. See the video below.

Pricing Info For The Just Don x Air Jordan 2 Arctic Orange

This Saturday, one of the most expensive kids shoes of all-time will release to the public – the Just Don x Air Jordan 2 “Arctic Orange”. Don C made the kids/toddler sizing deliberate, as he wanted the shoes to be available to his family members who missed out on his first two launches. However, the term “accessible” should not be used freely as the shoes are priced at $150 for toddler sizes, $200 for pre-school, and $350 for big girls. In addition, the Arctic Orange Just Don 2s are likely to be very limited as just 16 stores are releasing these. See the full store list and official product info below.

The Countdown For The Air Jordan 4 Pure Money Begins

Three days. In a matter of three days everyone who wants a pair of the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money will be able to get one.

The Air Jordan 4 Pure Money is essentially an all-White Air Jordan 4. Constructed out of leather, the same godly hue can be found on the netting, laces sole unit and lining. Simultaneously giving the shoe some contrast and some nice pop are the Pure Platinum hits noted on the lace tabs and Jumpman branding on the heel. All-White Jordans? You can’t go wrong with these during the Summer.

Look for the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money at select Jordan Brand stores and online on May 13 in full family sizing, with adult sizes going for $190. Click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 4 Pure Money (2017) launch page now for more imagery, the latest info and release details.
