The Air Jordan 1 GS BHM Debuts Next Month
By SoleInsider
Joining alongside the men’s AJ 1 BHM will be this women’s Air Jordan 1 GS, which essentially celebrates Black History Month (February).
Unlike the men’s predominantly black build, this GS variation dons metallic gold as its dominant tone, which is prominent across its side panels and toe cap. Black is also utilized, which adorns the laces, swooshes, ankle section and toe box, although, it also inherits a slight shimmer for additional flair.
Further detailed with removal branded velcro patches on the tongue, the sneaker is topped off with a clean white rubber sole unit to round out its profile altogether.
Priced at $140, you can purchase this stand out pair at select Nike and JB retailers starting February 11th.

By SoleInsider
Following its official introduction yesterday, a preview of upcoming colorways for the new Jordan Formula 23 is now revealed, as eight renditions are showcased, in addition to the inaugural black/white pair.
Essentially inspired by the classic Air Jordan 10, which takes the upper webbing and gore lace accents of the silhouette — the new lifestyle model also bears a synthetic leather mudguard that connects to the laces and provides lockdown and lateral support. Additionally, a neoprene collar provides a comfortable, one-to-one fit, as an injected phylon unit in the midsole provides lightweight cushioning and a sculpted surface.
You can expect to find the entire line at Nike and JB retailers very soon.

Jordan Brand Takes Over Tennis (Again) With Serena Williams
By SoleInsider
This tennis legend is a huge Michael Jordan fan. Before they would carve out their own path to greatness on the tennis court, they were watching MJ achieve it on the basketball court. Of course, since they were such huge fans of His Airness, they wore Air Jordans when they were kids and when they became Nike athletes. But little did they know that years later they would get a chance to work with Jordan Brand to create a special edition of their signature shoes but with elements taken from their favorite Js. It’s an honor that is reserved for people who can truly lay claim to being the GOAT of their field.
With that being said, was I talking about Serena Williams – who is now one major away from tying Margaret Court for the most singles tennis majors – or was I talking about Roger Federer – who just added to his already record major total by winning the Australian Open this past weekend against longtime rival Rafael Nadal – when it comes to tennis greats who now have at least tangentially, signature Jordan Brand shoes? The answer is both and once again Jordan Brand comes up on top like they always do.
The NikeCourt Flare AJ1 and the Nike Court Zoom Vapor Tour AJ3
In 2014, from seemingly out of nowhere, NikeCourt and Jordan Brand teamed up for the Zoom Vapor Tour AJ3, an amalgamation of Federer’s favorite signature shoe, the Nike Zoom Vapor Tour 9 and the greatest basketball shoe of all-time (IMHO), the Air Jordan 3. Decked out in the iconic White Cement colorway, the Vapor Tour AJ3 was the talk of the sneaker world and had sneakerheads actually tuning in to a first-round US Open tennis match just to catch a glimpse of the shoe and Michael Jordan, who was watching from the stands to show support for a fellow GOAT. Not that it needed it, but the Vapor Tour AJ3 in the White Cement colorway sold out in seconds and a few months later, a Black Cement colorway was met with similar love.
Not since Andre Agassi was on top of the world in Nike Air Tech Challenges have people paid attention to what’s on the feet of a tennis player. It spoke to the crossover appeal that MJ and Jordan Brand have that even though they are outsiders to the sport, they can come in and dominate the conversation like literally no one else in the world can. After that hurdle was passed, who was next in line? Enter Serena…
The synergy was just too good to pass up. In order to break her tie with Steffi Graf for most tennis majors in the Open Era, Serena Williams needed to get to 23. Considering her love for the Air Jordan 1 and how long lead times are for sneakers from concept to realization, Williams’ NikeCourt Flare in the Air Jordan 1 Banned colors had to have been in production for a while now. It was only a matter of time before Nike was going to be able to show them (and that beautiful box) to the world.
Over the next few weeks, we are going to be treated to two colorways of the NikeCourt Flare that pay homage to the Air Jordan 1 and then there will be an Air Jordan 1 with Serena’s logos. Obviously we live in a very different sneaker landscape compared to 2014, but I wouldn’t be surprised if these were some of the biggest releases of the year for Jordan Brand and it’s only January.
Greatness recognizes greatness is Jordan Brand’s strategy when it comes to sports that don’t involve a basketball. They’ve done it twice already with Federer and Serena in tennis, they teamed up with Neymar for a well-received Air Jordan 5 Low (which is an accomplishment in and of itself), and then there are obscene amount of cleated PEs official Jordan athletes like Dez Bryant, Dexter Fowler, and Keegan Bradley get in their respective sports. The only question now is, what’s next?
Well, at least Enzo Amore got to be in the Royal Rumble. I’m sure that spot could have gone to somebody who would have lasted more than a few seconds like Samoa Joe or Finn Balor or Kurt Angle or maybe even Shinsuke Nakamura, but I’ll take Enzo’s cameo along with his Air Jordan 6 Pinnacle Gold if only for Corey Graves’ amazing commentary as the Certified G made his way to the ring.
Last night the kickoff to Wrestlemania season got off to a great start as the main event picture started to become just a little bit clearer. The Royal Rumble match put together some match-ups we have never seen before – Goldberg vs. Undertaker being the most noteworthy – and also helped establish some stars who needed that little extra push like Braun Strowman (who was all over the place throughout the event) and Baron Corbin. With two more pay-per-view events left before the big show (not the wrestler), Randy Orton will be vying for a championship, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar will likely resume their feud in earnest, the Undertaker looks like he might have issues with Roman Reigns and John Cena will be in the title picture one way or another.
As is always the case whenever one of the major shows roll around, all of the WWE Superstars bring out their best gear and that includes their kicks. You know that John Cena is always going to represent for the kids and the everyman with his K-Mart Never Give Up sneakers, but check out what some of your favorites were also wearing last night including Enzo’s Jordans, Kofi Kingston’s LeBron Soldiers, Nikki Bella in adidas and more.
The Jordan Formula 23 Lifestyle Shoe Is Inspired By The Air Jordan 10
By SoleInsider
Jordan Brand has a new lifestyle model joining their ever-growing roster of off-the-court footwear options in the Jordan Formula 23. The lifestyle creation is heavily inspired by the Air Jordan 10 thanks to the upper’s webbing, lace accents, and synthetic leather found on the mudguard. The pair does manage to differentiate itself from the original 1994 lifestyle offering, as a modernized neoprene collar brings a slip-on construction to the silhouette for the perfect match to the Injected Phylon midsole unit and rubberized outsole cage. What results is a flexible, yet durable design with a sleek shape perfect for everyday use. You can grab the latest lifestyle creation from Jordan Brand today via Nike.com.

Is a St. Patrick’s Day colorway of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG in the books? Today, we get a first look at a green/white colorway of the Air Jordan 1 with a solid white sole and a mix of green, black, and white upper.

No word on if this St. Patty’s Day Air Jordan 1 is actually releasing, but it appears likely as this pair is pictured with a shoebox and attached lacebag. More details to come.
