The Michigan Wolverines had a bit of a travel scare on their way to the Big Ten Conference Tournament in Washington D.C. yesterday. The team’s plane slid off of the runway causing travel complications and despite this, Big Blue didn’t want to push their game back earlier today – they were that ready to play. There was a bit of a uniform snafu though, as the Wolverines had to settle for wearing their practice jerseys against the Fighting Illini during today’s game because they couldn’t access their regular threads in the damaged aircraft. That didn’t stop the squad from lacing up their best Michigan Jordan PEs as a number of players showed off the Air Jordan 31 “Coaches vs. Cancer” PE from earlier in the season and others opted for the recently released Air Jordan 31 Low “Michigan”. But highlighting the bunch was the best look yet at the Air Jordan 13 Low Michigan. Check out some of the Wolverine’s best selections to match their practice gear and know the story should have a happy ending – they’re currently up 11 with just 5 minutes to go in the game.

Over the past week or so, the KAWS x Air Jordan 4 was leaked and a bunch of new imagery of the highly anticipated collab began to surface soon thereafter. Now with the release date of the KAWS x Air Jordan 4 surfacing, Jordan Brand has released the shoe’s official images.

The KAWS x Air Jordan 4 opts for a tonal Cool Grey upper as a combination of smooth and hairy suede takes care of the majority of the shoe. If you take a closer look at the upper you will see the KAWS Companion character placed all over the base by way of the embroidery print. That same print can also be found on the custom insoles. Additional features on the shoe include the embossed Jumpman on the tongue, the dual branding on the heel and the glow in the dark outsole housing the KAWS Companion clapping hands. Priced at $350, expect this super limited drop to get a release date in the next couple of days. I wouldn’t doubt it if they drop later on this month.

Also part of Jordan Brand’s Spring/Summer Air Jordan 4 lineup is the Air Jordan 4 Alternate Motorsport.

From poppin? wheelies on motorbikes as a kid to owning a motorcycle racing team, Michael Jordan?s affinity for motorsports has continued to grow throughout the years. The Air Jordan 4 Alternate Motorsport pays homage to this passion and utilizes the original Air Jordan 4 Motorsport colorway as a canvas, grounding the shoe in black, white and royal blue. Matte Silver detailing has also been added on the heel branding, inner liner, waffle eyelets, and the outsole.

You’ll be able to grab your pair on June 17th 2017 for a retail price of $190.

We’re about two months away from the return of the Air Jordan 4 Pure Money. With Summer time creeping up on us, this all-White pair of the Air Jordan 4 could not be releasing at a better time. Official images of the sneaker recently dropped and we’re here to share them with you.

The Air Jordan 4 Pure Money is a Jordan 4 colorway that made its debut back in 2006. Jordan Brand was looking to create a simply and clean version of the model so they gave it a leather upper and covered in an all-White color scheme. The White hue is also placed on the netting, laces, lining and sole unit. Adding to the clean look of the shoe are the chrome hits noted on the lace tabs and the Jumpman branding on the heel. Lastly, the shoe also comes with leather wings and ?Pure$? embroidered on the inside of the back heel tabs. Releasing on May 13th for $190, be sure to click and bookmark our official Air Jordan 4 Pure Money (2017) launch page now for more imagery, the latest info and release details. Is this a cop or drop?

Here’s the detailed look at the KAWS Jordan 4 that we’ve all been waiting for. Jordan Brand released official photos of the Air Jordan 4 KAWS earlier this morning showcasing the luxurious collaboration between the legendary artist and one of the Jumpman’s most iconic retro model in its full glory. Priced at $350 USD, the shoe personifies the Jordan 4‘s status as a lifestyle icon through both smooth and hairy suedes throughout in a monochromatic Cool Grey shade. Hints of the KAWS Companion character are stitched in a subtle all over embroidery print to match the custom insoles. A glow in the dark outsole also features self-congratulatory clapping hands.

That’s not the only release of the Air Jordan 4 this year, though. We’ll also get three other colorways in some OG and new mock-ups which help the 1989 classic be billed as the Jumpman’s model of choice for the coming Spring/Summer 2017 season. It makes sense – the shoe first got its shine in Spike Lee’s classic Do The Right Thing and remains an icon to withstand the summer heat in style thanks to those classic Mars Blackmon ads too. Also included are photos of all of Jordan Brand’s upcoming Air Jordan 4 Collection featuring the return of the original Jordan 4 Motorsports colorway, this time missing Spike Lee’s stamp of approval (Release Date: March 25th); the Jordan 4 Pure Money and it’s clean all-white upper (Release Date: May 13th); and the alternate Jordan 4 Black Motorsports featuring an Orlando Magic-like array of Black, Royal, and Grey (Release Date: June 17th).

A lifestyle perspective of the exclusive KAWS x Air Jordan 4 is now unveiled, which is captured at the Stanton Street Courts in NYC that has been remodeled by KAWS.

Flaunting a premium build with textured and smooth suede throughout its composition, distinguishable elements consists of a matching KAWS hang-tag, branded “xx” heel tabs that replace the traditional Jumpman, graphic-printed leather insoles and translucent glow-in-the-dark outsoles that incorporate signature KAWS graphics.

Extremely limited in quantity, the silhouette is suggested to debut sometime this month for a price tag of $350.

Making its debut in 2017, this new colorway of the Jordan 12 Low has been given the tonal treatment as the shoe comes covered in Wolf Grey all throughout the upper which is composed of perforated suede with textured overlays on the mudguard. Obsidian and Varsity Maize detailing is then present on the branding which could be a subtle nod to the Michigan Wolverines? You can grab your pair beginning on March 18th for $170.

Up next for the Air Jordan 1 High silhouette are these two brand new colorways that have the model rock an all-suede upper done in your choice of Red or Grey. If you don’t rock GS sizes, it looks like you might be fresh out luck since these appear to be GS-exclusives.

The tonal look of the upper extends on to the branding (comes with Jumpman branding on the tongue), laces, lining and sole unit, resulting in a very monochromatic offering. The shoe appear to already be available internationally, which means that they’re probably going to arrive stateside within the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned to find out when these bad boys get an official U.S. release date. Hot or not?

This is as close to a Michigan Jordan retro PE that we’ll get a chance to grab at retail, as this Jordan 12 Low featuring the Wolverine’s signature colors of Navy and Varsity Maize lands on the heel tab for a unique twist and will be available March 18th for $170 USD.

The Wolverines are one of the more recent teams to benefit from an updated Jumpman sponsorship. Their football squad was the first to ever debut the Jordan logo outside of the realm of basketball and was rewarded with some truly incredible Michigan Wolverines Air Jordan PEs featuring essentials like the Air Jordan 11 and Air Jordan 12. We won’t call this Air Jordan 12 Low release “Michigan” given the monochromatic grey suede hits throughout for a lifestyle twist, but it’s nice to see Jordan Brand mixing in some of its team elements for general releases.

What do you think of the Air Jordan 12 Low Grey Suede? Check out more detailed shots below and we’ll keep you updated on where to buy this coming retro release via our Air Jordan Release Dates page.

A premium Air Jordan 31 Black Cat released this past November 2016, although, the basketball sneaker will be treated in the same blacked-out aesthetic for another variation this season.

Draped in an official palette of black, anthracite and white — the stealthy hue simply covers its entire flyweave and synthetic leather composition, while the flywire system is rendered in white.

Anthracite accents are utilized for its Swooshes and enlarged Jumpman branding across the heel, as finishing elements include a Black Cat logo gracing the backside of each tongue, followed by a clean white outsole to cap it all off.

You can purchase this versatile pair at select Nike and Jordan Brand starting Saturday, March 11th for $185.
